Elf imprisoned by dwarves to protect drow.

The ironhouse dwarves imprisoned a elf woman because she attacked a drow.

She refused to accept any food or water from the hands of enemies who protect drow.

[OOC]

Could you explain how people who weren't there learn about it IC? If you make an OOC post, please mark it as such.

Please note that it is within the laws of the Ironhouses ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]) that no one should commit any act of violence within the Halls. Anadra was arrested for violating that law.

You will also see in the link that Clan Members can vouch for unusual visitors, and Elders can permanently accept someone from a race that's automatically killed. I'm not saying it was the case, and regardless of how we feel about it, the person Anadra attacked was in the Halls under dwarven supervision and Anadra attacked her.

[/OOC]

\\ OOC: it may be legal by their laws. which is the same as saying it is legal for the zhents to summon undead by their laws.


\\ Anadra simply does not care about the laws of enemies that would protect the drow

\\ if you want to say that the dwarves are keeping it a secret that they imprison elves to protect drow then I will delete my post.

Targlan will send word to close friends and black archers that:
Anadra failed to respect the law of Ironhouse and will therefore be kept in prison until trial.

Murder within the Ironhouse is knowingly a deathsentence, but Targlan sends word for anyone who wants to share opinions or feels this relevant to them.

On that night, Alphonse couldn't sleep; for the first time in his life, perhaps, truly at a loss for words.

As he stared into the blank canvas of his parchment, destinied to become one of many loving letters to his parents, he felt a worrying numbness overtake him.

How? How would he describe it?

What happened inside Ironhouse Halls puzzled him. Surely, justice has been done.

But it was, for lack of a better word, weird. Volatile. Unpredictable. So...unheroic. Why?

Bah!

(Dear parents...)

But why the questions? Targlan did the right thing. Of course he did. Just like a knight from his favorite stories would. He could recall that particular scene in a dozen of different tales.

...and yet, it felt so different. Alien, almost.

Perhaps it was the heat of the moment? And the hestitation. That split second when the mighty Lord Ironhouse paused, unable to proceed, uncertain. A singular, isolated event, yet it was intense enough to seed doubt, wrapped in a disturbing thought...

(...I trust that you are in good health, as am I...)

...a thought that, perhaps, all myths are lies. That truth is out there - and it ain't pretty.

Sighing heavily, Alphonse crumpled the letter and tossed it into a crackling fireplace.

Usually, when sleep took him, he weaved his dreams in his mother's soothing voice. Comfortable, familiar dreams. Of vile dragons, illithids and lollygaggers, all lying at his feet, beaten, crushed by surging glory.

When he finally fell asleep that night, nothing awaited him, his dreams blank like the parchment he had discarded.

* when she hears the news, cal'andra ponders. She turns to Arandir and says 'How can killing a drow be called murder? Drow are no different than gnolls, except they are deadlier. We must send someone to explain that to an elf, drow are not people but monsters under a divine death sentence.'
(( thats if she would have heard. if not i will delete . she is usually in myth or the surrounding areas now. so providing this wold be known she would respond.))

Morrigan demands justice be served and Anadra be pushed down the lava pit.

Auryne sends a letter to Targlan

"Honored Targlan, i would like to talk at lenght with you about the incident that took place, involving Anadra and the Drow and how it led to end in a killing.

signed
Auryne Linthariel
Keeper of Myth Drannor"

Arandir would respond to Cal'andra

" I would like to hear more about this before I form an opinion... Is it Drow or half drow... A half I would be willing to be lenient"

As Bel's Lover. Morrigan requests to be part of all and any discussion related to this event.

* she nods* 'hearing more is fair, though I am disturbed so many seem to think a drow is just another person. I believe any that say different should not be killing gnolls either. But you are right, let us see how this plays out."

Aly'nalathia was there and will speak of it at length to any who ask. ((Please ask in-game, her response depends greatly on the questions asked))

Bel has yet to be seen outside of her room, and would refuse any visitors save Morrigan. She sits alone in the dark, carving lines into a table with her dagger in silence.

Helga begins building a slide...

Anyone who spoke to Arjay about it at length would find him rather tired of everyone making such a "gods-damned fuss" over the "same blasted half-drow" on both sides, before venturing that anyone who walks into someone else's stronghold should be damned well sure that they can control their foolish impulses and abide by their laws while they're there.

Anadra would simply tell anyone who asks that she does not care about the laws of anyone who would murder people to protect drow any more than she cares about the laws giving the zhents the right to summon undead in Shadowdale.

Jack the Lad laughs for several minutes when he hears about the news. "The Dwarves are bloody insane." He says, wiping a tear from his eye.

*Anadra writes a note to Auryne asking her to visit her and asking her is she can find a priest of the Seldarine that would be willing to risk their life by visiting the stonghold of enemies that have proven they are willing to murder elves to protect drow*

// the dwarves would obviously be able to prevent the letter from being delivered if the choose

Targlan attaches Anadras letter to his and passes it on to Auryne.

Dear Ayrune, I fear the elf have grown insane. I have only heard her keeping rambling about we prove to be murderes while she is the only one to have slain recently. I made it perfectly clear to Anadra that outside our halls she can do with any helf-drow as she likes, but within our wall she will get punished if she felt stupid enough enough to defy Ironhouse law.

I see that Anadra seeks priestly guidance, and I surely do hope you send the best of healers, who can cure this sick mind. So far she spins lies and twists words faster (or possibly just worse liar) then most true evil drow I have met.

Hope to receive aid and guidance on how to best handle this uncontrolled beast.

Targlan

Official notice around Ironhouse is that Anadra will be at trial for breaking the following laws:

2# Violence is only accepted in consented friendly bar brawls in the tavern or as part of training. Failure to respect such behavior will result in cooling down in prison and gold fine to any offended part.

5# Those caught littering, vandalizing, or public acts of lewdness (anything involving nudity, excesive amounts of petting or such) will result in the individual working in the Ironhouse Mines for an undetermined length of time. All resources found will be paid to reduce work time.

7# Failure to respect the Mordinsammen or the dwarven traditions will be fined 1000 gold or executed depending on the degree of violation (to be determined by Elder).

As announced trial will first be held when certain meetings have passed.

Morrigan is seen proposing alternatives to outright executions:

She would suggest banishment to the underdark unarmed and unequiped so Anadra learns what it feels like to be hunted and/or slave to the drows.

Morrigan would personally escort Seaniros.

Please leave all weapons with the guard, you need to keep your voice up at all time so the guards may hear your conversation. Failure to respect this will result in revocation of visiting rights.

She unlocks the first door and let Seaniros go and before re-locking the door behind him
