    //Warning, some violence//

    “I feel something ill in this night air.” remarks one of the elves. They were traveling through the outskirts of the Forest Of Tethyr, heading to Tethyr to trade with some of their rare elven materials. All of a sudden, one of the female elves collapsed. The other came quickly to her aid, she as returned to her feet and they continued to walk. “Is there something you are hiding Anorfilla?” asked the lead elves. “Yes…yes I’m fine” she replies nervously. “No you’re not.” Says one of the usually quiet elven sages, the group stops and gather around. “She is pregnant, I can tell.” says the sage calmly. The leader turns to the one called Anorfilla. “Why did you not tell us?” he asks. “I thought I would be fine, honestly.” “Well, we shall have to take extra caution.” He points to a couple of the elven warriors. “Protect her with your lives.” They nod and move close to her. The group then keeps walking.

    “We shall set up camp soon.” says the leader “I did not think we would be catering f-“He is cut short by a bolt through his head. The other elves act by instinct and immediately get in a defensive formation and look around as more bolts come flying. “Over there!” one of the elves point north, where numerous shadowy figures are firing crossbows. “Get down Anorfilla, we will protect you.” says one of the elves who was put with Anorfilla. She hastily hides in the long grass with the two elves, her longbow and sword close. The other elves quickly string their longbows and fire to the position of the figures. It is clear that some of them were taken down. The figures then drop their crossbows, pull out swords and charge. The elves continue to take them down with amazing accuracy, but there is too many. As the figures get into the moonlight, the elves see who they really are. Drow, the dark elves from the Underdark. The elves draw swords and join battle.

    A somewhat larger than normal Drow male hacks through the outnumbered elves, slicing arms and heads with his large axe, if he did not have a care in the world about the pain and agony he was applying. One of the elves hit him in the left rib with an arrow, so he threw his large axe, in landed in the elves chest, embedding itself and causing the elf to scream out in pain. As the battle raged around him, he drew his two short swords and looked around. He noticed Anorfilla and the two elves In the long grass, he then started walking towards them. The two elves saw this, quickly jumped up and attacked him. The first elf swung his longsword trying to get his injured rib, but the Drow parried with his left, stepped forward, stabbed him through the back with his right, twirled around and thrust both into the other elf who was charging. The large Drow then approached Anorfilla, she picked up her longsword and swung, but the Drow simply parried and kicked the sword out of her hands.

    Anorfilla looked over the drow’s shoulder, the battle was lost, Drow were walking around, taking whatever loot they could find from the dead elves. She looked up at the large Drow with fear. “You will make a good price at the auctions.” He says, then yanks her by the hair with an evil grin. They walk through the forest, a long and painful walk for the pregnant Anorfilla, then into a cave. After trudging through the cave a bit, they come out in a very large cavern, the Underdark.

    Anorfilla was bought by a powerful Drow wizard and made her do simple takes around his home. 6 months later, Anorfilla had a premature birth of her son and died from the birth. Before she died, she told the Drow wizard what to call him, the wizard had no better ideas, so he concurred. The child was Elnan Arborshat. As he grew up as a slave around the Wizard’s household, he was one of the weakest slaves, but had a gift for reading and writing, so the Wizard would make him write things out to other prominent Drow figures or find books and scrolls the Wizard would need. In the Wizard’s bedroom, there was a trashcan where the Wizard would throw away useless scrolls and book he didn’t need and the such. Elnan was in charge of taking out that bin, so one day he looked inside it. He took out the papers and scrolls and started reading them. It appeared he had a natural nack for magic, he learnt a few very simple spells very quickly.

    One day, or night, you can never tell in the Underdark, the Drow wizard was feeling ambitious. He decided to summon forth a Balor, then try to reign him in using his own immense magic powers. He summoned the devil, but the Balor was not pleased, he killed the wizard then started destroying his home. In all the carnage and chaos, Elnan escaped out of the Drow city. He wandered the Underdark for a couple of years, until he finally found his way to the surface. He then wandered the surface, finding only animals and creatures trying to kill him, he started to look for any civilization. He ended up finding it, and it goes by the name of Jiyyd.
