Vendui' Tarantulas, tails of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
Below is a summary of events from our nations recent excursion to the northern Underdark dubbed “Echos” as witnessed by myself Zan’sas V’Rinn, Corleth - Scholar of House Rea,Morda and other loyal servants.

We transported in to the crystal forest of Ty’vanna, and were beset by elementals of fate and fortune, as well as various unliving.
There were a number of buildings which we unlocked via puzzles, within them were random bits and nothing overly interesting or powerful. But all things that told the story of where we were, and the ongoing war between elementals of fate and fortune.
There was also a magic elemental portal pillar which required keys to activate.
The second building had an occupant, the Seneschal of the crystal court (fortune elementals).
He kept being all "mysterious" and prattling on about fortune etc instead of just telling us what we wanted.
The crystal court offered us crystal keys in exchange for the completion of tedious and demanding games or puzzles to "earn" the portal keys.
We discovered that every time a member of the fortune court arrived or was summoned their adversary from the fate (shadow) court was allowed to exit their stasis also. Their offer was a lot more to our liking so to cut a dull story short. We slaughtered lots of fortune elementals including their queen earning the Crystal Keys from The Fate Elementals
Using the Keys we activated the portal, sent through a team including Miso and myself. In this realm we were assailed by some insignificant guardians and avoided some Underdark Jelly fish retrieving at the end a large and thaumicly powerful table later identified as "Ark of Eilistraee".

The 1000 Isles

An emissary from the 1000 islands arrived and told us a sad (and dull story) about how their tree to Ergosal was not thriving, and they wanted our advice. An assortment of faithful including myself transported to the 1000 islands sacred grove via Malwar Junction the only way to enter the 1000 isles via transport.
Their "tree" had been withered and twisted for as long as they could remember..
It was clearly and ancestral sucking parasite, created by their misguided belief that they had "the tree of Ergosal”. Having taught them the errors in their faith combined we destroyed the tree tearing it finally from the earth. Our Grove Guardian has allowed the 1000 isles followers of Ergosal to visit our grove to worship as they wish.

The Cube

As is becoming far too common our camp was approached by the being known as the cube and its followers / constructs, Following the death at the Gathering of a Faction werewolf the cube now wishes to learn further of those known as Warlocks, Paladins and Vampires. The cube itself has access to the highest magic’s, and up close its blows can piece armour no matter the craftsmanship or the ability of its users.
The only know weakness of the cube it to the blast effects of mages which temporarily stun the creature, allowing us to close in and start hacking it to pieces, mages should work in pairs to keep the creature stunned, should enough power be gathered a wedge of 299 could also destroy the being.

Triel Cruentatus

Several times we were also visited by citizens if the Underdark under an unliving possession, Sent by a being identifying itself as Triel Cruentatus their purpose to gather information on us. To stop any information leak all were put to death and dedicated to Lloth this was there dying wish as loyal Underdark citizens.
As the earliest opportunity I advise a force or scouts be sent to The Ruins of De'Chienza the source of these visitors, to ascertain Triel’s influence there.

The City of Shindlyn is liberated – Nezanamiel destroyed!
Having brought a mighty force to bare upon the city under the control of Nezanamiel The Coward chose to flee the city and take his force to attack our capital Do’blouth and home of House Karrash Morr the faithful people of this proud city saw the attack shatter against their walls sending Nezanamiel off scurrying into the Underdark. Hearing word of this a strike team was assembled and arrived to intercept Nezanamiel forces. Seeing his defeat close at hand he chose again to flee, this time he would not be so lucky as two of our nation Barran Ironfounder and Thrax Malleus transported off with him in battle. When our forces caught up to them we found these heroes still standing and Khaz'ress buried in Nezanamiel heart, The body of this hated foe would be recovered and in a dedication performed by Matron Mother Kerithrion, Number One ensured Nezanamiel was enslaved to Kanchelsis as punishment for his crimes the carcass thrown in a ditch to rot.

The Regent

Inspired by the dedication of our Empress and guided by Lloth. Tathal Maelthra Regent of the Tarantula Empire and Champion of Araushnee Has accepted a crusade to thwart the heretical machinations of the servants of the silver throne, who would seek to use the patterns of our people to fuel their war machine. He has been witnessed wielding his blessed warhammer “the Will of Lloth” in battle with the foes of our nation. Staying in one place only long enough to dedicate the fallen to their dark pantheon ancestors and offer his blessings before is calling takes him onward all the while intoning is dedications to Lloth.

The Valsharess

Our Empress continues to battle the forces of chaos which would seek to destroy her realm to aid her Victory, Miso organised the Alchemists and Herbalists of our nation and allies to collect the various plants and Herbs needed to help the Valsharess. By creating a potion to amplify her strength, these were gathered over the two days of our excursion, and the potion given to the Valsharess for which she gave thanks and the blessings of Lloth
With leaders such as these and the example they set combined with the blessings of Lloth and her dark pantheon our empire continues to stand strong.
