Any or all of this may stink; please share praise and pee-yew ...Kyrani Sels'sessar was a paladin of Corellon, a hero in every sense of the word - an elf of action, dang it. His was not the world of the four festivals and the continual intrigue of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.As he moved about the Flanaess, he saw everywhere the spread of this blight called 'humanity'. He saw the way the influx of humans from the east had become a general invasion. He saw the forests diminished, the fey creatures driven further and further into the heart of the remaining wooded areas. And he saw his nation, its people and their leaders, doing nothing to stop it."It is fate, Kyrani," they told him. "We must make room. We will keep the sacred places to ourselves, and keep as much room as we need - but our days of dominion are past."This he could not accept. Elvenkind were created to look after this world, not to simply live in it. This much was plain to him. After orcs, driven to flight by a human warlord, laid waste to one of his favorite glades - a minor holy place of Ehlonna - Kyrani sought help.He found it in the person of Sayar, a demonic tutor. Of course, he didn't know Sayar for a demon at first - oddly - but the fiend's message of strength and the rule of law struck a chord in the frustrated young paladin.A mere three years after his first meeting with the demon, Kyrani slew his brother in an argument over principle and forsook utterly the way of the paladin. The first elven blackguard was born.x x xAlright, that's the narrative stuff. Yadda yadda yadda. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Here's the rest in a nutshell (i.e., I'm tired and want to wrap this up):- K casts about for a force to push back the boundary of Verbobonc, his first goal for his elf-first initiative; Sayar suggest goblins, where he already had a good bit of influence.- K goes with it reluctantly, and puts together a formidable force of goblinkind, all the while in disguise as a gobbo- K's most capable lieutenant was a goblin sorceror named Teza- Before their first strike out of the Pomarj, a high-level adventuring party sniffs them out (aided by some prophecies) and unmasks Kyrani. He is imprisoned in an outer plane by some celestials- As the plot unravels, Teza steals a minor artifact from the adventuring party, gathers her most capable people, and (with Sayar's assistance) they (70 or so goblins) shift to Archeron- Needless to say, Archeron is a tough row to hoe. Teza proves to be very tough and resourceful, though. She keeps the band together through the years, although they become very odd indeed as time goes on - interbreeding for a couple of generations with a bizarre mix of extraplanar creatures does that to one.- Speaking of interbreeding, Teza gives birth to M'b'gul, a half-fiend son. He is now the leader of the goblin horde. M'b'gul learns a horrific rite to invest his strongest with ... something to be determined. A template, I suppose.... then the Crook of Rao went off. Now they're back, and they've had about 200 years to get angry, strong and really strange.So. Anyone?</blockquote>
