DRBOONS of a Lost Stan

General Dogah

Congratulations on your victory over the Silvanesti elves.
These people have defied us for many years. However, I must warn
you, do not trust them. I have no need to tell you that we do not
haw the manpower to hold Suvanesti if the elves decide to rise up
in a body and rebel against us. I understand that they are sick and
weakened, their population decimated, Imt they are tricky. Espe-
cially this king of theirs—Silvanoshei. He is the son of a cunning,
treacherous mother and an outlawed father. He is undoubtedly in
league with them. I want you to I/ring to me fur interrogation any
elves you believe might be able to provide me with information
regarding any subversive plots of the elves. Be discreet in this,
Dogah. I do not want to rouse the elves' suspicions.

Lord of the Night,

To Dragon Overlord Malystryx, Your Most Exalted Majesty
etc., etc.

It is with great pleasure that I make known to Your Most
Illustrious Majesty that the elven people of Silvanesti, who
have long defied us, have been utterly vanquished by the
armies of the Dark Knights ofNeraka. Tribute from these rich
lands will soon be flowing into your coffers. The Knights of
Neraka will, as usual, handle all the financial dealings to
relieve you of such a mundane burden.

During the battle, the green dragon. Cyan Bloodbane, was
discovered to have been hiding in Silvanesti. Fearing your
wrath, he sided with the elves. Indeed, it was he who raised the
magical shield that has so long kept us out of that land. He
was slain during the battle. If possible, I will have his head
found and delivered to Your Grace.
