Granted I know little about this subrace of elves, but After noticing that the Avariel are near extinction on Faerun... (when was the last time any Avariel really played a part of Faerunian history?.
While my faith in the Drow is well known (much to the disdain of others I'd wager a guess), I figure that the Avariel should be Saved from falling off the face of Faerun (much like a Deity of Old).From records kept in the Library, it seems there is only one known place where Avariel are known to exists. I ask my fellow Scribes, what other places do the Avariel gather, and is there a way to save this race from falling to extinction?!?!

I too shall graciously accept your wine, and I care not what the weakling Eilistraee thinks, she is merely dung compared to The Masked Lord.... |

Well It looks like I have decieded. It is one that Is lawful, yet allows me to remain somewhat unpredictable. He is a god of Magic, darkness, law, hate, scalykind, air and evil. Yes, Of course I am talking about the Mulhorandi Deity: Set! Unfortunate, yet decided, after all, for a Fallen Avariel, what better choice than Set? Air and Magic, as well as Hate. Yes Set is the one...for now... |

Well, Cardnial it is odcourse all your choic, and Helm is a good deity indeed. The Guardian will recieve you well I think.
Shadowlord, now when you are on the surface, beware of how you talk about the Lady of song, who knows who lurkes in the moonlight around Candlekeep. maybe the sister of the moon takes it personally if you talk bad words aboud their Lady.
how about some Friewine cardinal and Shadowlord? |

Eilistaraee is far too trusting. Besides that, I am unable to follow a chaotic deity. It is true that which does not kill will make stronger. I just simply cannot. Call it an code of honor or duty, but I cannot follow one who merely plays me a their whims. Although Perhaps Helm may be a good choice... |

Bah, that weakling Eilistraee?!?!?!?!? He would be better off converting to the clergy of even Ghaunadaur than going to Eilistraee! |

Ahh..Cardinal Deimos I think you choose wisly if you change you faith, remeber LAdy Moonbows arms are always open, so is Lady Elistraee, the lady of song.
I feel so much better after someone have converted from their evil ways.
Ale Cardinal? |

oh, and Deimos, Vhaeraun does want all races of elves to survive...... I quote from the Dogma of Vhaeraun:
Vhaeraun (Vay-RAWN) is the god of thievery and the furthering of drow aims, interests, and power in the Night Above, as the surface world is known to the faithful. He is also the god of drow males opposed to the matriarchy of Lolth, teaching that males are as skilled and valuable as females, and thus passively opposing the teachings of Lolth's clergy on this point. He believes that drow SHOULD work with the other elven races for common advancement and never associate or trade with Duergar, Svirfneblin, or other Dwarven and Gnome races. (Humans and Halflings can be tolerated, however).

Don't Lie Bookwyrm! I KNOW you have the Avariel locked in one of your old treasure caverns!
As for the title... Well I could think of nothing eles |

Shadowlord chuckles heartily Nice jest, Bookwyrm.... |

But I don't have the Avariel! 
Sorry, it was what popped in my head when I saw the topic title. |

too true, and if you give up lolth, Vhaeraun is always interested in new worshipers........ |

Could not agree more expept with the human part it is like Amantura it is just not right |

Indeed, I may have to give Lolth up. It's just not.... effective to be praising one, who would go against the very core of the thought. So after preforming a careful checklist I was able to limit the list of potential patrons (who I'd grant little more than lip service to) are as Follows (In Order): Tiamat, Set, and Savras.
Anyways I need a deity that may take more intrest in the Salvation and Preservation of the Avariel... For it is their continued existence that matters. It breaks my stone heart to know that they are so close to falling into oblivion... (The only race that deserves that fate be Humans  )
But for once I am in agreement with Cyric, To go out with a bang is honorable (still sad, but they made a stand in their final moments) But to simply fade from existence... There is no worse fate as it is not with a mighty roar, nor even a whimper... but a sad sigh.... Heart wrenching.... |

No thanks required Alaundo. I'm merely doing my duty as a scribe of Candlekeep. Maybe next time my idea will be even better, Oooh, how about a shrine to Vhaeraun in the basement???? One can never have too many hostile drow in his basement! |

Well met
Thank you for your suggestion Shadowlord, not a bad thought at all, but I dont think a seperate area dedicated to such topics is required as they can openly be discussed within other parts of the library.
The "basement" idea has got me thinking though |

Well met
Indeed Shadowlord, tell me of your idea.....im all ears
Thank you for listening Alaundo. I was wondering if we could create a Candlekeep basement, Kind of like the Candlekeep Inn, where the darker aspects of the realms can be discussed (drow, shades, Zhentarim, Cult of the Dragon, the City of Shade, etc.) Granted, I know we can just open forums for these types of things, but I was thinking of a more permanent area. Do get back to me if you are interested, or even if you are not. I find that criticism merely helps improve (unless I'm in a bad mood, then its backstabbing time!!!). |

The onley way if they embrace the whorship of Cyric the one then The one wil save them i think.And no god or race deserves to fade away it is just sad |

Candlekeep is a mighty place indeed. After searching through several tomes, I have found (within Alaundo's bookshelves) the 3rd ed. racial write up, on the Avariel themselves. I am merely afraid (however) as they seem to be a more free race of elves (gasp, dare I say I may give up the drow?!?), I am afraid they will go the way of Amunator and simply fade into the Legends of the Past. As we already see, the place of the Avariel is almost nearly a foot note. other than Aerie (from the BG series), How close to dying out from neglect they have come. Some of us (myself included) never even heard of the winged folk. I repeat the Avariel Must be saved!
Many thanks to the scribes of Candlekeep who came before me, for the racial traits of the Avariel. I begging ye fellows of the scrolls, there must be a way to save the Avariel from falling to ruin!
Yes, leave your old and evil drows and see the light !! |

A fault to be sure, but at least it keeps me happy
also, please refrain from the headsmacking, I'm still recovering from alaundo's staff of the irritated moderator +3, lol
You did!! Good job, I have had some days in bed after a smack in my head from it !! |

Ahh, now you are going too far, Zacas. I merely conceded to your wisdom in "one" instance. Do not gloat overly much, for the drow have a long memory, mine longer than most. Nor do we forgive......
Though I must admit, I thought I breached the 587th commandment, not the 567th. |
