Xane Xiltyn, Ambassador and Converted Priest

Xane Xiltyn, silverdrow, Arachnei priest, convert from Llothl and now Ambassador for the Juanish Drow in the Caliphate. Old Tainting by Xeioqliquilndireec the Artisan Beholder, commissioned during Xanes early years while still in training as preast of Llothl.

I must say myself few have had as much changed as I have in my in my life in the year of 1144ES, It all started when I was a normal preast of Llothl, as normal as the older brother of the Junish Drow child empress could be that is. After decades of training in the faith I was finally ready to serve my empire, as I was summoned to my sisters throne, I was given a simple first mission to retrieve a enemy of the throne alive, to assist me the kobold bounty hunter Ikikiaw was to accompany me, needless to say this went perfectly and my sister was pleased with my swift and ruthless handling of the task.

Still I was troubled, soon my sister Loriofo I Xiltyn had a new mission for me but first she needed to see me alone, and It all changed from here, I felt better than ever before and ready to venture into the realm of the sunlight, bringing important messages to the Juanish Drow Embassy over in the neighboring surface elven lands and their capitol city of Lanifoel.

In Lanifoel still accompanied by Ikikiaw, we met Lhurgoyf Coborel, the first Platinum drow to live outside of Juanish for a long period of time since the split of the elven paths back during Sharisnai more than a millenia ago. This was also the first time I met Linwe Talenti, a goldpearl elf that my sister had befriended a few years earlier. Ambassador Lhurgoyf Coborel drafted Linwe Talenti, myself, a drow priestess by the name of Catia Tiadessa Veladom, a copper elf ranger by the name of Rowland Luisliu Trelana and Ikikiaw to escort her back to Juanish. The escort almost failed when we were all caught by surprise by a pack of flying dread blood blossoms, capable of both paralyzing our horses and causing horrible damages as they latch into ones neck and chest with their blood sucking tendrils at a ferocious speed.

Things were calm at my sisters throne halls, we all received training and instructions. I even had another ritual cleansing without the piercing eyes of the council of 49, one of the few times my baby sister would be only in the presence of me and her illithid personal assistants. After the ambassador had completed her work and gotten her complete rest soon escorted Ambassador Lhurgoyf back to Lanifoel, a simple and uneventful escort I must say. I also my instructions to build embassies with some of the human empires.

In Lanifoel we were again hired by Ambassador Lhurgoyf Coborel, this time it was to pick up a gift for my own sisters 36th birthday over in the Human Ahbansshan Caliphate, and with my own instructions from my sister to make sure we could open up diplomatic relations with the Humans. The brilliant clockwork mage and gnome Gitnuk Nuuk, and a gold elf firealchymist and nobleman named Eldor of Riladar joined in while Ikikiaw and Linwe Talenti left us for other pressing tasks, the priestess Catia and Rowland stayed with us. Ambassador Lhurgoyf Coborel arranged for our transportation by wagon, as she also was to accompany us on this more than 50 day long travel into the caliphate.

I will not bore you with the details of our travel but I can say it was definitely not uneventful, with zombie armies, more blood dread blossoms and we put Gitnuk Nuuk on a mission to build my sister a magnificent music box. I also had my personal conversion happen during the travel, as the goddess Arachnie approached me in a dream and told me to be one of her priests, and abandon my path as preast of Llothl which she claimed to be a false goddess of arachnees.

In the Caliphate they offered me a position as an ambassador for the Juanish Drow Empire, and to preach the gentle path of Arachnie, I accepted and they instructed the building of the Temple to Arachnie and Embassy to Juanish to be completed within the next year of which I am to return and consulate my positions for my sister and the drow that live in the mountains surrounding the South western Caliphate, They also offered us to travel in one of their newest gnomish airships, which would cut down our travels back to a 9 day week trip instead of a month of 45 days or more.

During our return back from the Caliphate, Rowland received word from home that the Dread Blossoms was becoming a big problem and he asked us to help him eradicate them for his family the druids of Rielsys and Trelana. we all accepted and managed to both locate and scorch down the heart growth of it in the central forest of Rielsys, while the druids burned down all the infested areas around.

Finaly we had time to relax and enjoy my sisters most important 36th birthday, a no small year for a young elf, one of the few things that is still of importance in all the elven cultures regardless of their current paths as pearl, drow, gold, copper or silver. Even the svirfneblin were present at my sisters party, a rare event indeed as they usually are served as a main dish and not there as special guests.

A few weeks pass before I get word from Eldor, he need help to find out what has happened to his family's supply of Nafta, all of it has run out after the druids used up all of their stockpiled alchemical fire and they seemed to be unable to get more of it from their supplies up in Rabel close to the Ghanathor Swamp.

Rowland, Catia, Ikikiaw and me join Eldor and travel north to see what have happened. People in Rabel doesn't seem to know much, quivering sick filthy humans are everywhere, nothing like the sophisticated Lanifoel or well planned cities of the Caliphate. We do find one chapel run by Bort Borre a human druid of the order of the swamps, he informs us that strange things have been happening at the human nafta fields in the outer part of the swamp, and that he could assist us. The Ghanathor Swamp only way to access is by boat and we all travel downstream to our destination, only to be approached and then attacked by five mysterious frog people, that i suspected and later confirmed to be shamans and in league with druids as a cryptic note written by the natural order was found on the only frog man we managed to pin down after he turned undead.
