Light rain showers have washed away\nalmost all traces of bloodshed and carnage, leaving a sense of peaceful   \nrenewal.  Whispers among the Elves speak of a hope for a peaceful year.  While,\nthe late arrival of the butterflies did cause some worry, they finally arrived\nin an overabundance.  Thankfully the Elves banded together and caught the\nhungry butterflies before they ate all the newly bloomed flowers!\n\nVermicio Missing?\n\nMuch time has passed since the Doom Pixie King's last decree.  While no elf \ndare say that he has gone, the winds carry whispers of his curious silence and\nwhat that may mean for the Elves.\n\nConstruction Continues\n\nSleek vessels continue to patrol the waters surrounding Irrybis, while the \nevidence of more construction continues.  Under the command of Palinor, by \ndecree of Tari Annale, the Elven army has begun mobilizing itself. The Circle\nof Magi have also been summoned in the mobilization orders.\n\n\n5\n\n           \/\\                           \n _         )( _________________________________________________________  \n(_)\/\/\/\/\/\/\/(**)_________________________________________________________>  \n           )(                          \n Page 5    \\\/    Quendi Nation News - Annale\n\n(OOC) Elven Quest!\n\nAn Elf-only quest was held on Sunday, May 24th!  Many thanks to all those who\nparticipated! It was a little change of pace from our recent poker runs, but\nhopefully everyone enjoyed themselves!\n\nAfter 3 rounds of butterfly catching, all the butterflies were rounded up.\n\nOur winners, based on number of butterflies caught in round 2 and 3, are:\n\nWith 16 caught: Methras! (AV Elf Cleric)\nWith 12 caught: Jimothy! (AV Elf Warrior)\nWith 7 Caught: Eisengrim! (50m gold)\n\nOnce again, many thanks to Romani for her awesome (and appreciated!) support\nin making these quests possible!\n\nWatch the CRY, Archives, and Elf Hometown Board for information about the next\nElf-only quest!

Discussions by the Council continue.\n \nDateline DarkHaven - Pandas Invade Realms\nThere have been several reports of pandas appearing in the Realms. Varied in\ncolor and size, they are alledged to be biding their time eating leafy plants.\nBe wary of these creatures, no one knows for sure their purpose.\n \nDateline Opallinoc - Exploring Rumors\nVolstagg the  Catacomb Dweller has been weeping and gnashing his teeth over a\nnumber of seemingly unsolvable puzzles in the Realms. Among those are :\nWhose doll is in the trash of Camden?\nDoes the Falcon's Nest Tavern really possess a secret?\nWhat does Big Janklin search for?\n \nDateline Northern Plains - Eltor Beasts\nThere seems to be an eltor beast in the Northern Plains that gives up an 'eltor\nskin'.
