- Lord Winnowill has sent her Chosen out to contact the elfin tribes in a most urgent matter.

- • Meeting Akira — 6/2/04
- Ynderra of Lostholt has gone on walkabout south to Cat Elf territory, in search of her long-lost lifemate Kai as well as her twin sister Myriel.

- • Chat With the Cat Chiefs — 6/3/04
- Kaer and Rahna, chiefs of the Cat Elves, come to meet a stranger that their tribesmate Akira has brought into their encampment: a wandering Wolfrider, Ynderra of Lostholt, who is in search of her half-Cat-Elf lifemate Kai, his mother Jeela, or her own twin sister Myriel. None of her loved ones are among the Cat Elves… but Rahna is intrigued indeed by the magic the visitor offhandedly displays when healing her own feet.
- • Myriel’s Returned — 6/13/04
- PreyRunner climbs to the top of the falls near Mist Valley Holt and finds an elf there. Their encounter is less than friendly, for the stranger’s ends are as crazy as her appearance. PreyRunner brings the other elf down to the tribe, gets her bathed and given new leathers and a den to rest in till she is well and fattened up. The stranger eventually remembers her name–Myriel–but in her hunger she tries to devour an entire meal and gets a bellyache. StormCloud, the tribe’s herbal healer, tries to help her, but she panics. Many things set her off: too many questions, too much sending, certain words, plant mush on her hand. The rollercoaster of emotion knows no stops.
- • Myriel Rejoins Lostholt — 9/25/04
- Myriel of Lostholt has spent several turns with the elves of the Mist Valley tribe. She journeys along with them on a hunt to feed the starving tribe as well as the humans who have been dwelling near that Holt, and the hunting party reaches the territory south of Blue Mountain, well hidden and tucked away from the main pathways. But MoonPool has wandered off, and Myriel goes in search of her to deliver news that her wolf Brownbrow is dying. As Myriel draws nearer to the Mountain she finds the other she-elf–but to her surprise, she also finds one of her home tribe, Strongbow, who tells her the shocking tale of why Lostholt elves have journeyed to the Mountain as well.
- • Battle on the Astral Plane — 10/10/04
-
The twins Imriel and Ryriel converge on Blue Mountain for a final battle–with a gathering of elves of many tribes who have cast aside their own differences to unite against this common enemy. Winnowill, Lord of Blue Mountain, joins forces with Savah and Suntop to confront Imriel in the astral plane while her Chosen and other elves fight with the attackers outside the Mountain. When Imriel and Ryriel are defeated at last, Winnowill emerges to heal the wounded below.
[NOTE: This is a companion log to “Battle at Blue Mountain I” and “Battle at Blue Mountain II”, from Imriel’s and Ma’at’s points of view, respectively.]
- • Battle at Blue Mountain (I) — 10/10/04
-
The twins Imriel and Ryriel converge on Blue Mountain for a final battle–with a gathering of elves of many tribes who have cast aside their own differences to unite against this common enemy. Winnowill, Lord of Blue Mountain, joins forces with Savah and Suntop to confront Imriel in the astral plane while her Chosen and other elves fight with the attackers outside the Mountain. When Imriel and Ryriel are defeated at last and slain, Suntop intercepts the souls of both twins–but while he allows the childish soul of Ryriel to be reunited with the soul of the twins’s mother, the mystic forces the soul of Imriel into himself rather than risk turning him loose within the Palace’s walls.

- When she and Doreel finally reach true forest following their journey across the Burning Waste, Ynderra discovers to her great fear and dismay that Doreel is not as stable of mind and soul as she had hoped–and she is forced to shoot him when he grows fixated upon removing her wolf-blood.
