Hum... Yes. Well. What can I say? After having gone to const 9 first, and competing heavily with at least one and quite possibly two other nations for artifacts (I lost out on the one I wanted above all too
), I was convinced I would be too late to get more than one or two elemental royals at most, and actually didn't expect to get even a single one. Seems I was quite wrong.
Thanks to everyone who didn't make any effort to get some elemental royalty as soon as possible.

Is it possible, T'ien Chi, that you suffer from latent racism? Is it possible that just because we Vanir have no intrest in building huge buildings whose only purpose is to overawe those susceptible to such ostentatious displays, or that we don't feel the need to amass huge libraries full of knowledge most humans will never lay eyes on, and instead have a well-developed oral culture, teaching our youths (and our adults) all they need to know in life, you consider us incapable of independent thought and action?
This, after R'lyeh's conviction that we were Atlantis' thralls, says more about the elitist mind-set of some so-called 'superior' races, nations, or cultures in Faerun than about ourselves. We might or might not be up to the standards of these "civilised" people, but we know our own worth, and we know we excell at those things we wish to excell.
In all of Faerun, there are no others that can out-drink us, out-hunt us, out-womanize us, or (most relevant to the matter at hand) out-fight us! I might also add there are quite a few rash youths in our lands that are quite hard to out-boast too, but let's not dwell on that too long...
