[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3552776, member: 2020"] Ah, Tolkien's elves (grins) The Noldor were under the Curse of Mandos, so they couldn't win. Let's drop that. The Noldor went up against a god, Morgoth. As you suggest, let's drop that. So the Noldor, lead by Feanor, establish a realm in Celene. The Noldor under Fingolfin are united with Feanor, in this scenario, so Celene is swarming with these powerful Elves of Valinor. The first question is: will they be satisfied with Celene, or want more land? All the other lands are claimed, and nobody is going to cede their lands peacefully. To the west, the human nation of Keoland watches with alarm as a new, mighty power arises to the east, run by an elf whose sanity is in question (Feanor was quite mad, in the book.) To the northeast, Greyhawk City looks southwest nervously. To the north, Furyondy wonders if this mighty power could help them against Iuz. Iuz gets another headache, and goes on a rampage, hearing that yet MORE elves are loose in the Flanaess. Ivid's reaction isn't much better. The Scarlet Brotherhood debates what to do. Other, smaller nations start to connive and plot, as the balance of power is massively altered. What happens next? (The Noldor could overwhelm any one nation in the Flanaess easily, or take on several of them at once and win. They might be able to take on every nation in the Flanaess at once, since the Light of Valinor is not yet dimmed in their eyes (to quote Tolkein.) What happens next? [/QUOTE]
