Clayton your assumptions about me and what I think are both flawed and
useless. If you have nothing to contribute then still your fingers. Or go
ahead, I don't care; your inflamatory remarks and ridiculous notions about
what I may or may not think about elves are from now on going where they
should always have gone: the bit-bucket.
You have not responded to the logic of the note--which would I would apply for
ANY human, demi-human, or humanoid nation neighboring the Gorgon's Crown.
You have not looked at Tuarheivel OR its alliances (yes, it does have a strong
alliance--look it up yourself, it's another topic entirely).
Finally, some flaw apparently forces you to see everything in a human vs. elf
fashion. This had no place in the notes you responded to.

Tuarheivel: the impregnable fo
So, am I to make the assumption that this whol deal where the Elven King
turns over his Realm to a Human, exists solely in the Players' Secrets of
Tuarhievel, which I dont have, so dont have to include IMC, right? Im not
an "elf-lover", but sheesh - it sounds like something any discriminating DM
would resent having thrown into his campaign.

Yep. It was concocted purely within the pages of the Player's Secrets of
Tuarhievel.

Clayton, I'm going to try and point a few things out here. 1) the Gorgon
has tried to conquer Tuarhievel before. He did not succeed, rather his
entire invading army disapeared, courtesy of an elven experiment in
Necromancy. Although this cost the Elves dearly, I wouldn't exactly call
that a win for the Gorgon. 2) The Gorgon can't throw his full power at the
Elves. He has other strategic worries. Like Mhoried, which would probably
invade if he pulled all of his units off the border. Like the Brecht
nations who would love a chance to push him back away from the shores of the
Great Bay. Like the Swordhawk who hates the Gorgon as much as anyone on the
planet. 3) The Gorgon has disliked the elves ever since they betrayed him
(switched sides) at Deismaar, costing him a chance at ruling the entire
human race. He has had a common border with both Lluabright and Tuarhievel
since this time. Neither Elven nation has ceased to exist. This indicates
to me that the Elves have the potential to defend themselves succesfully.
Especially if the elves don't have an internal civil war going on about
whether or not a human should be sitting on the Thorn Throne.

Clayton, try an jump up and down on the right person when you criticize.
I'm the person who suggested 30+ level elven mages are a possibility, not,
Ms. Santer. I was not suggesting hundreds of them (although it might have
come to that pre-Deismaar), in present times I could see perhaps 5 such
mages. Even one such mage would give the Gorgon a pause. Hell, the
presence of one Siebharrin the Lich alone makes it unlikely that the Gorgon
will take Tuarhievel in the immediate future, given that Siebharrin is 20th
level, blooded, and is known to work with Necromancy. Given that he has had
several hundred years since the Gorgon's last invasion, he might have
perfected (developed a controlled version of) that little incantation he
used then. If he has, you don't even want to think about trying to invade
Tuarhievel.

Easy, elven realm spells. The gorgon has no source holdings in an Elf
country, so couldn't dispel any of their spells. Get a couple good
spellcasters using Fhilerains (sp?) sources and they could stand to go
completely defensive.

yes.

ouch. that one bites even me. i think someone is on a power trip here. i
thought this list was for discussion, not insulting each other.

No way Tuarhievel would ever stand against the Gorgons rampage alone.
Or even allied with rhoube and the sielwode.
They would *have* to gain human allies in their struggles.
It will be hard, but more than worth it.
Their best methods to aquire allies, is to report about gorgon attacks and
such, as it should scare the hell out of all human regents. If Tuarhievel
falls. So will Sielwode.
And then Dhoesone.
Only in a matter of actions, the gorgon could control an area thrice the
size of his current domain. And because of that, the humans should fear the
gorgons rampage.
If he stops after this one, and the regents of anuire does nothing. Then
they will be doomed, as he will now have about four times the income, and
will me able to muster a hell of a lot less troops.
My personal favourite though, is to let the gorgon attack Wierech and Dauren.
As they are fairly weak in the beginning, and will be overrun easily....
Anyway.. I think the Gorgon is far too smart as to not have trade routes....

Tuarheivel: the impregnable fo
YUCK - Im glad I never bought "Tuarhievel", then. I'm no excuse for an
"elf-lover", but I have no desire to see a human on the Thorn Throne. Just
from lQQking at my maps of cerilia, though, the Sielwode would appear the
more tempting target for the Gorgon's predations, though :)

Tuarheivel: the impregnable fo
Siddeath is a pretty interesting piece of note if any among you considers
the Elves incapable of defending themselves.
Those of you unfamiliar with the name should do some research on the issue.
To be honest, if I had thought to conquer any elven land by sheer force of
numbers alone, the mere happenings those many years ago would give me
pause.
So what if a human rules, that she is not a mage makes here all the better
as a figure head. The wizards who control Tuarheivel's sources are some of
the most accomplished wizards in the world. Why? Siddeath and the Lich.
