Message: <blockquote data-quote="coyote6" data-source="post: 5465662" data-attributes="member: 1225">Combine this with Wednesday Boy's suggestion: the means by which the elves secured this treaty is by betraying their eladrin cousins, and giving Zacris the means to summon and bind the feyspires. The elves gave up the knowledge, and handed over sacrifices to power the ritual (they gave up criminal elves, naturally) that would co-locate the spires.This assault on the Feywild was part of a campaign to conquer or suppress the eladrins, after a band of eladrin thieves dared to intrude on one of the Emperor's private gardens/museums/harems. The Emperor demanded that the entire eladrin race be punished for this crime; when informed that most of the eladrins lived in a parallel plane of existence, he was furious. That meant they held lands that were somehow in the same place as His Empire, and yet they did not bow to him?!? Unacceptable! Thus, the great fey crusade was born. However, sending an army to the Feywild proved difficult, so Zacris devised the scheme to both bring the eladrin to the empire, and wedge open passages that the legions could pass through.Eventually, of course, a portion of the eladrin people agreed to enter the service of the Empire, forming units of teleporting skirmishers to aid the legions in battle and (especially) sieges. In return, the Feywild was allowed to continue its existence. This is why there are eladrin in the regular world now.Of course, before that treaty was reached and tribute agreed to, the war had killed tens/hundreds of thousands/millions, all to avenge a relatively minor theft/intrusion.</blockquote>
