The elf faction that eventually became the drow were cautious and warned about the unknown consequences of using the divine artifact but the majority of elfs decided to use it with the predictable dire results.  IMC both of these races were matriarchies with the females as the landholders as well as rulers. The aim of the campaign was for the heroes tofind the king of the elves, who had been lost since before the sundering of the two elf races. The two queens would marry himand thus reunite the two races. Adding fuel to the fire...the drow were being mercilessly driven upwards into the sunlit lands above by another enemy and the surface elves were having a lot of difficulty with humankind that kept pushing back the borders of their lands. The great war between the two elf races was fast reaching a climax that would leave both races on the edge of extinction.The characters did eventually succeed in rescuing the elf king (in the nick of time) and the two races began the long slow process of setting aside their mutual distrust and hatred. As with all things elven the process of reunification will take a very long time. For now the drow have taken (with elf assistance) a wild land of rugged mountains and deep mist filled valleys as their own. There is some trading and commerce between the two races and the drow (now coloquially known as mountain elfs) are being seen more often even if they are still enigmatic.One interesting thing is that with the cessation of hostilities between them, both elf races have begun to take steps to deal with the burgeoning problems brought to the world by humans... And of course the evil invaders have returned and are quietly and carefully preparing...using the friction between the elfs and the other races together with the inherent distrust between the church and the wizard guilds to further their own agendas...M</blockquote>
