Incorporation of the Drow

Cultural event

The Dark Elves are accepted into Talen'Seere

With the departure of Sepia as head of the ruling council, a new leader for the Elves of Talen’Seere had to be selected. This selection processes face some difficulty, however, as the Drow demanded a place on the voting council now that they had accepted their place in the city. While this was their right as described in the city’s charter, the high elves, grey elves and the summer court were all in opposition to this, fearing that the Drow sought to use their position to corrupt the city.
    The representative of the sea elves abstained from the discussion still heavily dishonored by his people’s actions during the war, but the representatives of the Daemernesti and the Yulmanesti stood with the Dark Elves in support of their inclusion. Both of the smaller sub-race’s representatives feared the power of the High and Grey elves if it were decided that they could choose to exclude others from the gathering of Talen’Seere.
    Surprisingly, this stalemate was ended by the Wood Elves, whose representative Sylvianne Moonshadow, argue passionately for the Drow declaring them to the be final piece of the elvish soul needed to complete Talen’Seere and prevent it from devolving into the self-righteousness that lead to the crimes of the Elvish Empire. This speech not only won the Dark Elves a place in the council, but was so impressive that Sylvianne was named Speaker for the Council, and began her century long term as a voice of inclusion among the elven people.
    She immediately declared the focus of the council to be the rebuilding of what was lost in the Great War, and put much of the city’s wealth towards support and training for those who were orphaned by the conflict.
