Renda'dal in Qeynos!

[Meirril]

There are Renda'dal mixxing with non-Rendal'dal! They are actually speaking to a non-pure elf! Even more amazing...they talk to other races.

Seriously, these are the same xenophobic buggers that I kicked all over New Tunaria who even the common citizens attacked me on sight! Worse, its fairly obvious that they are puppets of Mayong Mistmoor as his vampires roam the streets at night terrorizing the citizens of New Tunaria. Mayong has their royalty not only prisoner in his vast holdings, but has turned them into vampires!

These Renda'dal have infiltrated Castleview Hamlet and are trying to peacefully convince the frogloks to leave? What are they doing with the unclean Feir'dal? Just murdering them in the night? Packaging them up for Mayong to do The Nameless knows what to them? Convincing them to return to New Tunaria and "purify" themselves?

What kind of brainwashing was necessary to convince Renda'dal to mix with "impure" races?

Also, why call them "Renda'dal High Elves"? Renda'dal-Feir'dal? Renda'Feir'dal? It should of been Feir'dal convinced they need to return to Felwithe and "purify" themselves, with beaten Feir'dal "race traitors" found in back allies and the Frogloks framed for the violence.

Maybe Tserrina tracked him down, ganked his crib, and he's looking for new digs?

It's Mayong.  My only real question is what he's up to in Freeport, unless there's something I haven't seen in those quests and he's in the Thexian situation up to his armpits.

Ok, Someone want to give the Laconic on what Meirril is saying? Did some select individuals of the Renda'Dal break off from the xenophobic grasp that the high council has over Felwithe and actually move to Castleview?

Nothing against Tserrina, but if she showed up at Castle Mistmoore, I don't think she'd be the one doing the Ganking.

I don't recall hearing anything remotely related to Mayong in the Freeport quest series. I was under the impression that most of his attention was on the Age's End prophecy.

The devs are cruel. They know i'd make myself KOS to the entire game just to be able to live in Felwithe again.

And that isn't an option T_T

Minor nitpick - Feir'dal are wood elves.  Koada'dal are high elves.

My guess is they're not straight-out attacking because they know they'd likely get whupped, especially if this plan was first hatched before the unrest in the other areas of Qeynos started.  If they come in peacefully, there's a fair chance that the goody-two-shoes of Qeynos won't attack them.  Live and let live, and all that.  Then if they can convince the frogloks to leave and the high elves to join them, the high elves can be "convinced" to go back to New Tunaria for "purification".  Heck, some of them might even be deemed worthy of actually being purified and becoming Renda'Dal.  But in the end, the Renda'dal will have a foothold in Qeynos from which they (or Mayong, more likely) can act.

What kind of action might they be planning?  Maybe creating a Renda'dal empire, and they figured Qeynos was the easiest starting target.  Or maybe Mayong wants to establish a presence in Qeynos for spy-work.  Or maybe Mayong's decided Age's End is going to leave some nice power instabilities that he can take advantage of while everyone else is distracted.  Certainly Qeynos has leadership issues on the rise, as opposed to Freeport's re-consolidation of power now Lucan's returned.  Heck, maybe Mayong's decided to make Antonia his most recent soon-to-be-tragic-ex.  And yes, I know Mayong is busy with Age's End too, but he's never struck me as the kind to have only one iron in the fire.

*nod nod*

They actually state what their agenda is through the course of the Koada'Dal racial quests... unless it changed after I tested it.

I'll stop there to avoid giving spoilers.

[Rainmare]

the Renda'Dal are only associating with the Koada'dal....and they have propoganda up to convince the froggies to leave peacefully.

and the Koada'dal have to pass a physical inspection to even qualify to be allowed to go to New Tunaria...and they was still xenophobic, but..apparently inbreeding is starting to become an issue, so they want all the other koada'dal to 'come home' and stay home.

and they'll use violent means to get you to leave if you change your mind.

Really? They intentionally inbreed for the expressed purpose of shortening their lifespan from 800 years down to 70, and they're only now thinking it might be an issue? *facepalm*

[Enna]

My impression from the quest line is that inbreeding is less the concern than dwindling population.

So the Renda'Dal are, with some possible signs of reluctance, approaching the Qeynosian Koada'Dal to recruit more bodies for New Tunaria.
