World War: Norrath

[Brut]

We were taking influence as part of this, and generally trolls/ogres are in alliance with Dark Elves ("out of fear" says the guidebooks and whatnot methinks). Crushbone Orcs are holding the elves back and they're also in cahoots with Dark Elves.

For what it's worth, those 4 races were teaming up during the retake Grobb war events that happened on live. Rest of the races didn't really team up as much, but they didn't really have the incentive to do so since who cares if some amphebians hold Grobb or not. Still point is, methinks Dark Elves would use the fatties and orcs as their frontline then turn on them once the goodies are dealt with. And following Innoruuk's guidance they'd probably follow that up with starting to kill one another.

I think the stipulation is more that of an all vs all war. It's illogical, but necessary for the discussion at hand. Otherwise, this just turns into an all the good guys vs all of the bad guys scenario. If you want to pick teams, you have to come up with a plot as to how the war started, and why it is so controversial that there are so many sides.

So in this way, Dark Elves are unable to utilize the fatties.

Edit: My best go at a controversial war plotline is a battle of religions.

[Sarkhan]

I think the main contenders would be the Erudites, Humans, High elves and Dark elves.

The Dark elves are everywhere and have a lot of influence and allies with monsters. They have the outpost on Kunark as well making them one of only three races already established on Kunark.

[Sarkhan]

I think if the dark elves conquer the fatties first and then controlling them as their pawns after the fatties were completely dominated.

Certain races like the wood elves I don't think would be able to be controlled for the purpose of battle after their defeat but the ogres and trolls I think would definitely be willing to continue fighting for the dark elves if the Teir'Dal were to dominate them.

This is a good point. I think dark elves are the only race I don't really know much about. You'd have to fill me in on how they would defend their city. Seems like humans would be their biggest adversaries?

No mention of gnomes. General agreement that they are toast?

They are placed between two pieces of toast. /nod

Methinks inkies would aim straight overseas for the elves since there's general beef between them. Iirc Inny tortured some high elf queen&king and corrupted them into becoming the first Dark Elves?

Erudin be cool with turning teleporters on and off. I'd also think Cabilis/Freeport because they're so large. Kelethin for range attacks from above too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Please. Kelethin is burning down in a few hours, max.

Ak'anon's Skynet robo horde will rule Faydwer, eventually.

[Stonecrush]

The Elves would strike a three way alliance.
The High elves and wood elves believe in Tunare. Their mother.

The third branch to this alliance would be the wood elves with the Halfings. The halfling druids pray to Karana, the rain maker. They'd 'bring the rain" to their Kelethin immune to fire attacks.

The Human race is highly divided. EFP and WFP would try to do the work without NFP (healers). Unless the city was laid siege too and all of the major players involved were hit equally this city will fall. Qeynos is in the same situation. Although, I'd say Erudin would be more likey to strike an alliance with Qeynos than Paineel. Qeynos is to far for FP to grant aide. They are on their own. All ports into these areas lead to contested grounds (Nro) being the only exception. They are also vulnerable at sea. Attacks can come around their waters through their catacombs. They will have a lot of difficulties deal with on stopping infultration.

The Eurdites. They have more defenses and their own lands but they have similar vulnerabilities as man. Divided between Erudin and Paineel. Erudin can be attacked from the sea.

The Dark Elves would run Antonica like a raging torrent.

The Iksars would hold Kunark pretty well. The OT and FV being outposts and starting points for attack.

More later.

[Kellek]

The dwarves would just collapse their entrance and live underground.
