Come aboard the hype train!
It's been talked about for a while, and though there's no concrete date I feel it's time to get to the final battle with the Xioquo soon.
To recapitulate, the Xioquo are essentially drows. Their capital Underrealm is located far underground in the north of Tygara. They're enemies of the other Tygaran elf races (the Qadiri and the wood elf like Vashyada) and the Eldorai have fought several battles against them.
Their philosophy can be summed up as survival of the cruellest, they practice slavery (well, all Tygaran elves do, but the Xioquo are extremely sadistic about it), the dark arts and think blood sacrifices are the fun thing to do.
Tech-wise they're kind of a Steam Punk version of the early 20th century, so expect steam punk like tanks etc.! So while they're very inferior tech-wise, they still have punch. Moreover, they have war beasts such as massive kraken.
They also have strong Forcers capable of using dark powers similar to Sith magic (drain life, mind control, zombies etc.) in addition to elemental powers. Oh, and their goddess Mystra has woken up. She's pissed and good at summoning natural disasters. There may be a dark side nexus in their city.
So this is kind of an interest check to see who'd be interested in participating, along with gathering ideas. Basic plan is for a joint Firemane-Eldorai-Qadiri army to assault their capital, possibly aided by a slave revolt. It's intended to be a rather bloody battle.
This thread gives you a good idea of them, specifically the battle at the start and the one near the end of the thread. First features a failed attempt by the Qadiri (ancient Persian-like elves) to seize the Xioquo capital, second shows Firemane defending its base against a Xioquo counterattack.
