creyzi4zb12 03-30-08, 08:05 AM	Hello, it's me again. I need help so I made a thread. Need info. about what was the cause of Crown Wars. They say that Crown Wars came older than the Netheril itself.
Stigger 03-30-08, 08:57 AM	Umm... just a tiny bit before Netheril... As to what caused it, that's easy... evil gold elf (redundant I know) aggression and greed directed at their peaceful neighbors. ;)
Khaelieth 03-30-08, 10:03 AM	Human propaganda!
Stigger 03-30-08, 11:12 AM	Indeed... so I suppose that those poor innocent Aryvandaarans (or however that's spelled) took their army for a walk and their neighbors just took it the wrong way? :P
sfdragon 03-30-08, 02:36 PM	aryvaandar,(mispelled) arrogant sun elves started it, they caused all kinds of atrocities through out all 5 of them. during the meatings of the elven court, it was decided that the aryvandaar was to blame and their head clan was put to the sword.( rumors stat that 4 sons escaped) also during this time the elven court stated that the ilthiri commited atrocities that made the former look tame, and do to high magic cursed them into becoming daerow(mispelled) which in turned became corrupted itno the word drow. and to this date, betrayer still fits what does it mean to be drow, it means fight dirty
Khaelieth 03-30-08, 05:15 PM	Indeed... so I suppose that those poor innocent Aryvandaarans (or however that's spelled) took their army for a walk and their neighbors just took it the wrong way? :P Exactly! Finally a human's understood it! They just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Thinblade 03-30-08, 06:15 PM	Umm... way, way, WAY before Netheril, actually. Check out the 2e sourcebook Cormanthyr (I think it's available for free on the WotC downloads page), it has all the information you need.
Lord Karsus 03-30-08, 08:31 PM	-Which Crown War? There were five of them. Each one was sparked for a different reason. -That said, information on the Crown Wars can primarily be found in Lost Empires of Faerūn, and Elves of Faerūn.
MarkusTay63 03-31-08, 01:29 AM	Elven Hubris. Thats the answer for ALL of them. ;)
Lord Karsus 03-31-08, 01:49 AM	:rimshot: :pbbbtt:
sfdragon 04-01-08, 04:48 AM	or was it sun elven hubris
Fabius Maximus 04-01-08, 09:57 AM	Elven Hubris. Thats the answer for ALL of them. ;) Well, that's about the only reason that sparked every catastrophe in the Realms. And if it wasn't them, it was the gods. Elves shouldn't be allowed to play with High magic.
Thinblade 04-01-08, 11:07 AM	Oh, I don't know. I think the Imaskari and Netherese have more than proven that humans are just as capable of screwing up on a truly awe-inspiring scope. Maybe we should give magic to the gnomes...
sfdragon 04-01-08, 12:45 PM	oh heck no, if we gave magic to the gnomes, there would be gno magic and all those contraptions of theirs would wreck havok over faerun. btw i dont think it was over high magic
Thinblade 04-01-08, 12:54 PM	"I'm a g-nome. How do you do? I wish I could g-nash my teeth at you..." I love the Muppet Show (and Flanders and Swan).
Lord Karsus 04-01-08, 03:44 PM	oh heck no, if we gave magic to the gnomes, there would be gno magic :rimshot:
Fabius Maximus 04-01-08, 05:04 PM	Oh, I don't know. I think the Imaskari and Netherese have more than proven that humans are just as capable of screwing up on a truly awe-inspiring scope. Maybe we should give magic to the gnomes... Nah, they only destroyed themselves slowly. There were never such gaint catastrophes like the Dark Disaster or the Sundering.
MarkusTay63 04-02-08, 02:54 AM	Yup, good old Elven magic, and how it 'takes care of' nature. ;)
Lord Karsus 04-02-08, 04:12 AM	Yup, good old Elven magic, and how it 'takes care of' nature. ;) -Who says that Elven High Magic is intended to somehow 'take care of' nature? If you mean 'take care of' as in 'beat up', then you are partially correct. Rituals like The Killing Storm certainly aren't beneficial for nature.
Zanan 04-02-08, 08:26 AM	To the thread creator: Download Cormanthyr - Empire of Elves here ... http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads ... and read all about it.
EytanBernstein 04-02-08, 08:22 PM	Gremlins.
Khaelieth 04-02-08, 08:48 PM	Gremlins. Stripe wielded High Magic of epic proportions.
Lord Karsus 04-02-08, 11:37 PM	Gremlins. -Did you just violate a NDA, and just slip a 4e retcon? :P
Stigger 04-03-08, 06:34 AM	Don't say things like that... it might give them ideas of what we're willing to take. :blink:
Lord Karsus 04-03-08, 12:26 PM	Don't say things like that... it might give them ideas of what we're willing to take. :blink: -No one's listening, it's okay.
Stigger 04-03-08, 06:51 PM	You've got a definite point there really...
Lord Karsus 04-03-08, 11:16 PM	-Heh...
Eilistraeeeee 04-29-08, 08:59 AM	Gremlins are bad.. They could create a Spellplague, had they had spells.
