Re: Lore Questions
Oops indeed. My mistake. But i understood the question as the last elvish war before the complete destruction of Wesnoth, as it's the only interesting war that happens at that time (as far as i know, it's the only elvish war in around 700 years).

Re: Lore Questions
I ask about the Elves because I have the ending of my campaign directly involve the third suns fall itself (and the main characters are Elves). If there is a conflict involving Elves soon (~20 years or less) before the fall in the Wesnoth Area, then I can tie my story into that, otherwise I'll have to set it somewhere else (I'm thinking the North East extension of Lintanir Forest, if not there, further East).

I think it wasn't *just* about him, but more an overall desire to eliminate evil that used the night for cover.OmnisScio wrote:I think my original question is still not fully understood, but I think I got the information I was looking for out of that discussion.
So, is this correct: The lich from [Descent into Darkness], Mal Keshar, is causing trouble in the north, and efforts to stop him fail. The solution: create a second sun.
Actually, I would guess that the impact mainly had local effects. Perhaps dust and such caused global cooling for a few years, but probably not much more than that.OmnisScio wrote:They create a new moon that shines (this makes more sense than creating a whole star) in order to remove the night, and succeed. It is day time all the time, and very hot, but the forests and fields are maintained through irrigation and magic, so not much else changes. This second sun however, starts drifting out of its intended orbit, and the night starts to creep back in. They decide to make yet another sun. However this time it fails; it further destabilizes Naia's orbit, and crashes into Weldyn, causing a cataclysm. The resulting explosion has an impact on the entire planet's geography. The chaos from the explosion also impacts the inhabitants of the land, and the lack of order means that no longer are the forests and fields maintained, so some areas become deserts.

Re: Lore Questions
Another question: Is the fairy world (Silida right?) involved/influenced in any way at any time after the fall?
Re: Lore Questions
It is probably worth noting that vultraz’s description is a hasty extrapolation of things from AtS. At no point it is stated that Silida was the origin world of the faeries. In the IftU/AtS canon, influence from Silida exists, but it is extremely limited in extent.OmnisScio wrote:Another question: Is the fairy world (Silida right?) involved/influenced in any way at any time after the fall?
Additionally, there are references to the plane/nature of ‘Faerie’ (with capital F) floating around in mainline. While it is easy or even convenient to conclude otherwise, Silida was not conceived as the answer to that riddle and it is definitely not Faerie.
(Also, I just moved this to Writers’ Forum.)
