  whelp, the draconic civilization just proved to everyone that even an entire society, working together, can still roll a 1.

  I swear and continue to believe the Sun-Elves got a slap on the wrist as to comparatively what happened to the Drow. They should have been equally given the same curse to never see the sun again as the Drow were.

  In addition to the history of drows, it&apos;s worth mentioning, that the Fearzress (magical energy of the Underdark) is actually the remnant magic of the Corellon&apos;s Curse. So the drows now use as the source of their magical power the same magic, that made them what they are.<br><br>And please, give Imaskari some love in the next episode, they are greatly unappreciated

  I&apos;m not saying I condone what the dark elfs did, I&apos;m just saying I understand.

  You missed 4 &quot;big&quot; things<br><br>1st. The excuse for the peaceful annexation.<br>The high elves were elves that escaped the fey. The king of the sun elves traced/claimed his ancestry went back to the lost prince of the green elves (abducted by fey). So pretty please give me the kingdom it should have belonged to my ancestor.<br><br>2nd. (Not sure of the cannonicity of this) it wasn&apos;t prayer to the gods that caused the descent. It was a ritual on par with the first sundering to force corellon to sanction the dark elves. It backfired horribly killing all the mages involved though its purpose fulfilled. This also led to the sanction of sun elves that had commissioned the ritual.<br><br>3rd. When the leaders of the sun elves were cornered in the 5th war they too resorted to foul pacts including a fallen angel that was pretty important if memory serves.<br><br>4th. The dwarves had travelled to the western continent during the crown wars. They bore witness to war crimes (I now suspect that storm) and offered shelter to the other sentients. When the other peoples left the new dwarfholds they carried with them the dwarves name for the land Faerüin, a direct callout to the elves actions; this is how the continent got its name. The dwarves took all this as a lesson not to get involved in others politics which has led to their largely isolationist nature.<br><br>Dwarves also hate how the subsequent generations of elves act as if their people had never sinned, though that&apos;s more likely projection of their biases as the dwarves also don&apos;t talk about the spawn wars and their ancestors misdeeds. (This is good roleplay fodder, though last time I used it I just got shouted down with &quot;DUG TOO DEEP, DUG TOO DEEP&quot; which is weird because she wasn&apos;t playing an elf and we weren&apos;t in middle earth.)

  My main take away from this is that the elves are just as petty, fallible, and prone to mistakes and greed as any other race, but they&apos;ll pretend they&apos;re better right up until (and even past) the end.

  D&amp;D: &quot;In this universe, Good and Evil are OBJECTIVE and ABSOLUTE&quot;<br>Also D&amp;D: Corellon, a GOOD-aligned deity, curses the innocent and the unborn.

  So the lord of the elves isn’t as benevolent as people would believe.
