The Chronicle               1998-1999

Starshadow Moonbeam & Areanna, Chronicler

1998, September 12 (Gather 88) Corellon Moon Manor (Ghostdancer & Shadesong’s House)

The wedding of Shadesong and Ghostdancer. No business meeting was held. Kittarina announces that she is with child. Dreamsinger’s hair arrives before he does, as some orcs had chopped it off during Hoot’s Tree Quest. They sent it to Brother Bart with a warning message.

1998, October 17 (Gather 89) Corellon Moon Manor (Ghostdancer & Shadesong’s House)

Cygnus got his Blue Star back! The FALO ship has been completed and was named Darkmyst. Brother Bart’s Tree of Life Quest concluded with a big ceremony, with almost everyone in the clan involved - even those not present. Maya and Caitlin danced during the ceremony. The seedling was planted and all kinds of gifts were given to it. Kittarina - who had announced her pregnancy at the previous gather, threw bones to determine the moment of her heath and found that she would die in child birth. So the tree took her pregnancy, to raise the baby as a dryad, and spare her that particular death. A meeting was held between the nobility of Crystalmist and Ravenhilt to ratify an alliance between the two nations. Galatyne and Cliana got Welcome-stones.

1998, November 21 (Gather 90) Starhaven (Arëanna & Starshadow’s House)

The fairies declared "Ugly Day" and gave out ugly gifts. Alura turned into the ugliest fairy imaginable and Granarinth was named "King of Ugly Day". This was because of his wounded condition, his maimed face and recently blinded eye. Ghostdancer arrived with a bang through a portal. Brother Bart was with him, and Vilad (the enemy Ghost has killed twice already) was also involved, though he escaped back through the portal. The traitorous Terwillowger was in tow, but was disintegrated into white powder, leaving behind only a cursed wand and a book. The members of Tir Thalor spent considerable time preventing Starshadow from touching these items. Meanwhile, Ghostdancer was wounded and blinded on the couch. Not one healer, mage, priest or seer present had the ability to cure him. These events followed Ghostdancer’s journey to Dreamingdark, where he sought to capture the one responsible for killing the Crystalmist elf outside the Corellon Moon last year.

A lovely sit down feast at the grand table in the dining hall was enjoyed by all.

1999, February - Corellon Moon Manor

Loquitor decides to grace this gather with an troll head in his possesion!

1999, March - The Moonlit Mug

Unknown to Starshadow, Bart, Loquitor, Arëanna and Hoot journeyed to Dreamingdark. Hoot and Loquitor were forced to do penance that made it impossible for them pronounce Starshadow's name correctly and many odd twists to his name were heard. Arëanna was commanded to kneel before the unseelie Starshadow, Loquitor's response to this was to stand guard over his queen, drawing his own sword in warning to the unseelie king. When Starshadow knighted Arëanna for her deeds, and Darklight touched her shoulder, the king collapsed, and finally awoke a good deal seelier than he had been!

1999, April - Mystic's Crest

Talien & Lavendar were to be wed, but a drow griffin rider arrived with the news that his griffin ate Talien (not out of malice; it was just hungry). Said rider was invited to stay, but was viewed with suspicion by many of the clan.

Guests and clankin had to be magically shrunken, by eating magic pills, in order to go down to the tiny fairy feasting hall. Starshadow refused to be shrunk, and ate in solitude.

Mir and Dorinda Harlow, a rogue Assassin from Rodin Rae's homeland (Rodin Rae's nemesis), came through a portal with her brother Degan in an attempt to force Rodin Rae to a Parlay so that Dorinda could avenge the death of her mother. During the course of the heated debate, Degan killed Lenardo, Rodin Rae's lover, in front of her and the clan. Kittarina, worried for her friend, decided to travel with Rodin Rae for the next couple of months. Rodin Rae kept the body preserved on her ship in hopes that she might find a mage who could bring him back to life. Later, she agreed to the Parlay -- which gave Dorinda three chances to Assassinate Rodin Rae. Dorinda failed but swore she would never leave Rodin Rae in peace. Lenardo's dead body burned on the Sea Sylph - a deliberate act by Rodin Rae to fake her own death and trick the rogue assassin into leaving her (and the clan) alone.
