Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows the current happenings of The Rotting Man (Chosen of Talona), and his enemy, the Nentyarch?
I know pre-spellplague, The Rotting Man ousted the Nentyarch from The Rawlinswood and into his hold in The Forest of Lyther. There was a pretty even battle between the Talona Blightlords and The circle of Lyth.
Any information on the post-spellplague struggle? Thanks in advance. ;)

The Rotting Man and the Blight lords were killed sometime after the Spellplague hit. The Nentyarch is still active and he and the Circle are currently fighting the demons that were previously contain in the depths of Dun-Tharos but were released when the Rotting Man was killed.

I could have sworn it was in a novel. One of the Priest Series.
I could be wrong... |

The Rotting Man was a significant part of the plot for Bruce Cordell's Lady of Poison novel. |

Well, I'm a fan of Cordell's fiction. And I also like Talona-related Realmslore, so my opinion might be a little biased. 
But I liked it.

| My long running high level campaign revolves around the endgame between the Nentyarch and the Rotting Man. Great stuff all around. Its a good setting for making even high-level PCs quake in their boots. |

| Well to summarize... The PCs were awarded title, lands, and a dilapidated keep on the merchants run south of Trails End west of the Rwalinswood (in an area that is contested Damaran/ Impilturan land...the keep is actually a disused Impilturan border fort) with a handful of landed Knights answering to them. Whilst embroiled in politics with the Impilturan envoy the PCs get a report of a horrifying slaughter in one of their hamlets. This brings them smack into the middle of the battle between the RM and the Nentyarch... If you want more specifics, feel free to PM me. I don't want to bore other scribes with details of my own campaign. |

Does anyone know if there are elves in the novel Lady of Poison?? Like, main character elves, that is. I know the woods have Green elves and Copper elves, but just wondering if there are any as main characters.
Thanks again. :) |

You know, I just can't remember. Sorry, but it's been a while since I've read the book. I can, at least, recall one or two elven characters... but not whether they were main characters and such. |
