I am good going with partial truth but I would like to ask the GM if we can tell individual elf the truth later if it comes up

Yeah but I thought it was implied that's what we are telling the rest of the elfs though them

If it's just these particular ones i might go with the full truth

While there is some expectation of 'leaking' from the Archmages to other elves, you don't expect them to start announcing whatever you tell them. Consider the society they come from and the modes knowledge transmission.

Right now, as far as you are concerned, you are choosing what to tell these elves right now.

Not sure I want to risk these two flubbing a diplomacy roll and making a mess after they get back to Ulthuan.

It is certainly interesting how not only are the Treemen insular, Avelorn isn't a very open place. At least not without, perhaps following proper customs and border inspections since the wording used was "sneak into Avelorn"

But it does kind of correspond to how the three remaining Ancients were at odds on how to treat with them. Even after the colonies expanded, even after the remaining colonists ventured into Athel Loren, they kept a distance. It might be that knowledge in Avelorn is much greater but the weight of the Everqueen's decree is that binding on the honor of its inhabitants.

But one the archmages eventually did. Centered on a core of ghur and ghyran, spites were made up of some of the most simple and straightforward magical 'elements' imaginable; curiosity, rage, joy, hunger, and so on. They acted as they did because those were the primal emotions of the forest itself— the hunger of starving beasts, the curiosity of keen-eyed ravens, the joy of tumbling squirrels, and the rage of a parent protecting its nest.

That certainly fits with how Morghur's spirit was able to, with enough time, subvert them unconsciously.

So a bit off topic, but would Slann be concerned how close Mortuary cult and their Liche priests got to 'figuring out' souls stuff?

The Liche Priests of ancient Nehekhara held that the every self-aware mortal being consists of seven material and immaterial parts.
  • Kha - The kha was the physical body.
  • Ka - The ka was the person's ego, reason, and abstract thought.
  • Ba - The ba was the subconscious self and the individual's emotions.
  • Ab - The ab was the individual's awareness of right and wrong, and their ability to choose between the two, the conscience.
  • Khaibit - The khaibit was the physical shadow of a self-aware being. To the Liche Priests, the existence of a shadow was a byproduct of existence and showed that the being in question was mortal or at least affected by time.
  • Ren - The ren was the True Name. It was the metaphysical "notion" or "idea" of a self-aware being, the signifier of self and identity generated through interaction with the mortal world; it was their memory or legacy, essentially how a person is remembered in history.
  • Sekhem - Sekhem was the soulfire, the aethyric energy which actually comprised the essence of the soul.

That is somehow close enough to actually be workable. Not that we need it, but could lead to some interesting conclusions.
Do wonder if it may lead to ascensions...

On more localised topic, wow. The vote is close and popular. This makes me giddy.
