Heed my words, O Heroes of Aerune!

Though foes walk in the darkness between us, look to the dawn. Know that even in the heart of the longest night the stars smile upon you as they smile upon the Shining Land, as they smiled upon our ancestors for age upon age before us. Our foes may seek to sow chaos and fear among us, yet we shall not only gather but prevail against them. Look to the shining gates and pass into the Shining Lands. Though once we hoped to offer our bounty to celebrate the destruction of Hopeslayer, now we will share a table to bolster strength, hope, and courage against the foes that stand before us.

Know that the northern lands have fallen into war. The Pale Kingdom of Lochsmoor has become entrenched within a web of battle and few of the ancient gates remain. The realm of the Lord of War, Rhoemurg, has been beset by a plague of insect spirits and harried at every turn, driven back from the Crossroads that lead to Lochsmoor and Shadowfane. The last Heroes of the Gate are scattered, many of their number stolen away by an ancient enemy wrapped in the cloak of the Web.

Outside the shadow of the War of the Web, our enemies take advantage of this cloud of battle. On our very shores an ancient enemy stirs and draws itself out of the sea. As we turn our eyes to the east and the Lords of the White Court turn their swords and spells to the north, enemies strike unseen from shadows and roads left unguarded to strengthen their dark temples and appetites.

Rise up, heroes, for now is the time to step to the fore against them!

Our call welcomes all who would come to the threshold of our halls and accept our hospitality. My father will turn away no ally, and refuse hope and sustenance to no contingent that come to us as allies in this time of war.

Come forth, heroes of Shadowfane, that we might march forth and draw your friends and kin from the mists of the Web. Come forth, guardians of the Pale groves and be bolstered. Be welcome, keepers of the White Temples, and add your wisdom to our council. Send your lords, Queen Khelaine, so we might strike to the east together. Our gates have been opened throughout the lands to those who would heed our call against these threats.

May the Light of the Shining Lands strengthen us,

~ Her Grace Calanthia n’Maelwyth, Princess of Eluviar

Those who attend the revel have heard the call of Eluviar, the Shining Lands, and have passed though one of the many shining gates to travel to that land and council with the Eluviar Elves and the councils from all the lands that might also council with the King of the Eluviar.

Players who attend the revel in Eluviar and feast with the elves will be well fed, and the bounty of the Elves will sustain the character not only at the revel, but that character shall be well fed throughout the first Spring event as well.

Players who will attend the revel in Shadowfane itself should be sure to read the document Within the Web.
