Elvenhome II Report

General Summary

After speaking with some more of the nobles at the King's gathering, Sari took the players out to the city to meet some of the more common Elves.  The saw that most of the common elves were both more aloof and more approachable at the same time.  They loved the novelty of seeing humans and half-elves but really weren;t that interested in what was going on.  They like to enjoy themselves and the group had a good night getting to know more of the people of Elvenhome.  
  They met with the stargazer the next day who turned out not to have the correct Star Charts.  They had been stolen by the Necromancer Zar Sul.  They went to Xar Sul's Lair and found several interesting things.  
The first was a Arturo's Letter to Zar Sulwritten by Arturo the Keeper, the keeper who first obtained the Scroll.  
The second was a Glass Coffin with a mummified corpse in it.  The Corpse spoke telepathically to several of the party members, promising them power over their enemies.  They resisted It's influence.
They also found the starcharts needed to open the case, and an Elven Spirit Blade belonging to a Noble house of Bladesingers that were wiped out in the last great Orc incursion.

  David, using the star charts was able to open the scroll.  It contained a ritual to strip power away from being, but required the same amount of power to cast the ritual.  There was also a note from the order explaining that the Scions of Bahumet sacrificed their power into 5 rings.  These rings could be used to power the ritual.  Unfortunately the Rings were last seen in the possession of Cross Eyed Jack, the Pirate that captured the ship that was carrying the scroll and the rings back to Condor.  

  They Also discovered from Sari Elarie that some of the Elven Noble are planning on changing the Ward around the city kill rather than misdirect as the orcs seem to be getting close and closer to the city and somehow resisting the ward for longer.  This would effectively cut off the the elves form the rest of the world.  This is something Sari does not want to see and would stop any attempt of the PArty to get the Elves help in the fight against the Vemoraxx.  The Party decided them needed to convince the Heads of the Great Noble houses to opposed this idea.  
  They were invited to a council meeting to listen in on the Noble houses initial thought on the plan.  
House Aelynn Said she approved of the plan to strenthen the ward, as in her experience Human only cause sadness and heartbreak.
House Aralynn  was also for the plan, as they are concerned of the growing Orc threat and this seemd the best way to protect the city.
House Olana Was for the plan, but did not state any reasons why.  The party learned later that Hastios Elarora was kidnapped by Zar Sul, who used Human MAgic to capture her.  Because of that she fears what integration with humans can do.
House Elarora  Was for the stronger ward, but offered no reason.  The party learned that Artin, the house leader was afraid of going against House Aralynn and House Farsolar, as he thiks they have something to do with the True Bloods.   House Farsalor  Was the house that propose the idea.  The party discovered that Hagre's Oldest Daughter from his current wife, was not happy with her father's insistance that she become the next archmage, and when she found out he had arranged for her to ne married to Camus Aralyn she left the city.  She made it outside of Elvenhome where she met a Human Priest of Gilidan.  They fell in love, but she was found by Aralynn soldiers and brought ack to the city.  She was with child, and the priest eventually found a way to get into the city, and rescue her, taking her away.  Since then Hagre FArsolar has held a great hatred for Humans, and any outsiders.  He want nothing to do with the outside world.  
House Ravencall is against the plan, as they feel the outside workd need the help of the elves, especially during this rough time.  
House Starym Is against the plan, as they feel that the elves have been in isolation too long and will fade way if they don't join the rest of the world.  

  AFter that Finn and David visited House Elarora by invitation and The other went to House Olana.  Finn learned a lot about crafting and gre friendly with Artin and his Daughter Elasha Elarora.  
  The other visited House Olana, and learned a bit about the history of the city.  They were able to Convince Hastios Olana to support them and speak against the strengthening of the Ward. 
  Finn and David also ran into a group of Masked Elves, the TrueBloods.  The warned David and Finn to leave the city, before it's too late.  
  Th next morning they had decided to visit some more of the noble houses when they found out that Elashara Elarora was given a false message that the party wanted to meet her at a grove to look for gems.   The went there to find that the Grove was the home of rolls and that Elashara was captured by one who was planning on cooking her and her Escort, Wynn.  The party saved them and killed the Trolls.  They found out Ral Aralynn has sent the message.  It had been a set up to make people think that the party had lured her out and done something bad to her, making the outsiders look bad and killing an elf who was rumored to have human blood.  Luckily they were thwarted this time.  Artin explained that is why he must no go against the powerful houses, and support opening up the city, as he needs to make sure he does not looking like he is siding with outsiders, for the safety of his family.  
  The party spent a little more time finding our some more information about the Trueblood's, and the city, and realized they still need to try to get the other Great houses to support opening up the city.  They decided to focus on three things. 

One - Get House Elarora on their side by exposing or stopping the true blood and making it safe for Artin's Family and any other families that are not pure blooded Ellasti.  
Two find out how the orcs are resisting the ward.  The orcs are coming form the west, and it is said they took a part of the forest where a Great Tree had once stood.  If they can find where this is, and find a way to do something to help with the orc issue, then they can reduce one of the reason for the Ward change in the first place.
Three, The party need to find a way to get House Aralynn to support them.  Rathiain Aralynn is a big fan of fighting tournaments, and there is one at the end of the week.  If the players can show their martial ability by competing they may be able to get an audience with the Head of house Aralynn and see what it would take to get his support.  
  They still need to find a way to influence House Farsolar, and House Aelyn.
