− | * ''DC | + | * ''DC 25'' - Cendriane is famous for its seven bridges, each of a different fabulous material, which cross the river Alph. Symbolic of the link between the mortal and fey realm, they are frequently the site of processions and festivals. They vary in size, from the slender walking bridge of glass dubbed the Strand of Memories Unshared to the fifty-foot wide span of the jade Causeway of the Lords of Summer. |
− | * ''DC | + | * ''DC 30'' - There is a growing division in the council of Cendriane as to their relationship with the mortal realm. The minister of Sunlight and Music is opposed to any involvement beyond trade, while the minister of Dreamtime and Ceremony argues that it is the burden of the elven races to guide and correct the short lives of mortals. The princess has kept her opinion to herself thus far, but has not forbade action by her subjects. |
− | * ''DC | + | * ''DC 35'' - Avaellor, Cendriane's Spiral Tower, is home to nine Sages (and their various apprentices) gathered from across elven lands who use powerful magics to keep open their kingdoms' paths. It is they who allow Cendarine to span the planes, they who move Jenn-Tourach, they who keep Shinaelestra's portals from falling to ruin. The Sages are the elven lifeblood; without them, the planes-spanning confederation would shatter. |

The cavernous cells ruled by the Twin Queens' stretch for miles throughout the underdark. Tiny pockets of life, carved from giant, beautifully carved, hollowed-out stalactites and stalagmites. By the blessing of some god (Corellon? Sehanine? Araushnee?), this kingdom has, and will, always have its Twin Queens to rule it; in each generation, one of the pair proves barren and the other gives birth to her own set of twin girls. | The cavernous cells ruled by the Twin Queens' stretch for miles throughout the underdark.

− | * ''DC | + | * ''DC 35'' - The Twin Queens, Kiaransalee and Zinzerena, lead their people in aiding Bael Turath in their war against Arkhosia. Is it their nearness, in the underdark of the mortal world beneath Vor Kragal, that gives them sympathy? Has the Hell-Born Emperor promised reparations, or the dragons made some insult? Do the Queens, themselves, traffic with devils? No one can say. But a few know that, in strictest secret, the Queens give what aid they can. Never elven soldiers - this would tip their hand to their kin - but swift transit through the Feywild, enchanted steel, and even the dross to pay ogre mercenaries all aid the Turathi war efforts thanks to them. |
