Tuarhievel: Altruistic Sacrific

[veryfastperson@juno.com]

Well, i haven't been following this thread (or is this the begining?)
but i have some idea's that i could offer...

Well, first and foremost would be that Lawful Evil alignment thing of the
Gorgon

again, being lawful, and somewhat honorable, he wouldn't (IMHO)

>3)Why would the Gorgon bother warning them of his attack, why not just

Well, sorta like saving a rival from falling off the cliff by bringing
them up, then only bashing them back down again. I guess it's just a form
of either sick humor for old stoney-butt, or just that Lawful thing
getting in the way :)



hmm, it looks like i need to find me a copy of that source book of
Tuarhivehil (sp?)

Good gaming,
Erik

Possibly the Gorgon has more important plans than invading the elves, likely
to be a long war considering their advantages at home, and the threat of a
second front from the Sielwode.

However, with Fhilaeraene (sp) in his hands, the elves are even less likely to
interfere with his plans than ever. The Gorgon has always seemed to be
willing to allow realms destroy themselves from within, with just little
nudges to take them down the path. For no cost to himself at all, the Gorgon
has removed one threat to him, and moved a little closer to a successful
invasion of Anuire (or somewhere else for that matter).

Yes, this would be a good idea. As the only Players Secrets for an Elven
Domain, it is really quite interesting. Among other things, the map
indicates the presence of 15 seperate "wizards compounds". Assuming 1
wizard/compound (very conservative, and remember non-blooded characters
aren't supposed to establish strongholds until 9th level) and taking
Tuarhievel as a typical elven domain, with 6 other elven domains (Sielwode,
Lluabright, Coullabhie, Innishiere, Rhuannach, the one on the edge of the
Vos realms) this indicates approximately 105 elven wizards, making a mockery
of the 120-140 total wizards in the game argument.
