Ivory Shores

["After a moonlit night three small elven ships were

drifting into the nameless sea beyond the eastern

shores, over and into molten silver touched by the

crimson of a bloodsoaked sunset. They carried a fallen

Elf-Queen, one young dwarf but also the brother of the

Islander, cleansed and redeemed in the very last

moments before his death. People all across the Realms

rose from tyranny with merry laughter, the fauns of the

Northern Woods once more played their piping flutes,

the highland folk dared once more travel with wooden

carts to trade with their kinsmen of the west - but

while most had lost something and gained so very much,

the Islander now had lost everything. And so he came to

wander. He wandered for weeks. He wandered for years,

always to the south.

Ever to the south..."
