Before this happens they will be attending a council of the various allies (humans, dwarves, lizardfolk, sea elves, locathah, and merfolk), where they will be various political shenanigans (including a backdoor link to my own version of White Plume Mountain, which is not relevant here, but I am proud of) - and during the three days of preparation and meetings, a trio of elves will show up unannounced bearing lore about the foe these different communities have bound together to resist.  In my setting, elves are reclusive and on the decline - rarely seen, even more rarely talked to - so their arrival is a big deal. Essentially, they come to honor a promise made long ago to their shorter lived and estranged aquatic kin, which was to hold fast to the lore of the sahuagin who have been known to disappear for centuries and then re-emerge in conquering numbers. Since sea elf lore and literature is oral and not literate, things can be more easily forgotten or twisted. In the old days, the bonds between different elf groups were used to make up for each other's weaknesses and complement their strengths - thus such lore was entrusted to much longer lived kin who tend to write things down.Rather than read through the list of things myself, I plan to share the info below on a handout (And we may go around the table and each read one aloud that strikes us as important). And this can be the basis for any other questions the PCs may have for their prep for the scouting raid they have been asked to undertake.Not everything here is necessary relevant or 100% accurate and I plan to remind the players that this info is from the PoV of ancient (from the PC's perspective) elves).Any feedback? Anything you think I should add? Anything that is either a part of traditional D&D sahuagin lore or that might be cool to consider?  This is meant to be general lore about sahuagin that could be useful, but not specifically about the lair to be raided (though some bits of lore - like there is an arena for bloodsport - will be relevant).</blockquote>
