It is said that it was The Duke of Below who called the meeting. The Great Mother Tunare, and Prexus, The Oceanlord were in attendance. Brell, carefully avoiding all queries as to the origins of his information, told of Veeshan's discovery of a new and potentially powerful world in which she had deposited her brood. Words befit of the King of Thieves poured forth from Brell's lips. He proposed and they accepted an alliance of sorts, ignorant of the fact that Brell too had already released some of his creations into the Underfoot of this new world. The planet that would come to be known as Norrath was divvied up between these beings of power for the purpose of keeping the Wurmqueen in check. Each would create a race of beings to watch over Norrath and keep a vigilant eye on the schemes of Dragonkind. Brell claimed the bowels of the planet and created the Dwarves, stout and strong, deep beneath the mountains of Norrath. In the abysmal depths of Norrath's oceans Prexus left his children, the Kedge, hearty aquatic beings of great mental power. But is was on the surface of Norrath that Tunare's creation of the Elves, creatures whose limitless grace and beauty was only exceeded by their mastery of magic, drew the unwanted attention of Innoruuk, Prince of Hate. In a decrepit tower overlooking the dark decaying alleys of the Plane over which he rules, Innoruuk waited, stoking the fire of his Hate until it was a raging inferno. He cursed his fellow gods for not including him in their pact and vowed to make them regret this disrespect. From the halls of the Elves' fair city, Takish-Hiz, The Prince of Hate snatched away the Elven King and Queen. In his realm of pain and anger he slowly tore them apart, physically and mentally, over the course of three thousand years. He then gathered the quivering pieces of these beings of light and rebuilt them in his own dark sadistic image, a twisted mockery of Tunare's noble children. In depositing The Teir'Dal, as Innoruuk's Dark Elven creations would come to be called, back into the Underfoot of Norrath, the seeds for The Prince of Hate's final revenge were sown.
