The High And The Dark is a running storyline about a pair of modern-day human men thrust into the world and lives of High Fantasy elven women. Powerful women, a Queen and Princess respectively, leaders of an role-playing game world. Who must now navigate their way with it, and reevaluate who they are to themselves and each other. By request of
jwargod , the commissioner of these tales, you will find below a story-by-story synopsis of the completed chapters...
The High And The Dark 1: Strange Circle: (SFW) Two gamers, Eric and Kevin, argue over whether or not the traditionally antagonistic Dark Elf race should be viable as a player race in their joint Legends Of The First Star campaign. Eric is firmly opposed, Kevin is firmly for, citing a sourcebook that introduces a sect of Dark Elves free of their creator Goddess's divinely-imposed psychopathy. The sourcebook itself seems to get into the discussion by transporting them both into the world of the game. Kevin is cast into the body and role of Princess Tathaudear Tyrrnal, leader of a band of moon-worshiping Dark Elves seeking peace and freedom on the surface world. Eric is put into the form and role of Shahernei Azemenne, Queen of The High Elves, who stands at the head of a surface-elf task force which has intercepted the Dark Elf defectors. Both on opposite sides of a parlay situation right out of the sourcebook.
The surface envoy is comprised of ranking representatives of the Wild, Wood, Sea, Snow, and High sub-races. To whom Kevin/ Tathaudear (quoting as much as he can from the sourcebook) appeals for safe passage. Eric/Shahernei curtails the ensuing arguments by inviting the Princess to her Summer Palace. Kevin/Tathaudear (along with a small guard envoy) accepts and follows, solely aware that if the campaign continues to play out as is happening, the Queen will be assassinated within a day.
Kevin/ Tathaudear is waiting (and waiting) in visitor quarters when Eric/Shahernei enters via secret passage, using knowledge of the Palace gained from a magazine article and having worked out who the 'Princess' really is from clues dropped at the parlay. He/she relays the result of a conference with the representatives; Wood and Snow are for giving the party the chance to prove their intentions, Sea and Wild for turning them out of the area, with the Queen as the deciding vote. Said Queen learns than he/she is fated to be knifed by one of the representatives working with evil Dark Elf infiltrators of the Princess' band to maintain the war posture... but the who is the part of the campaign that Kevin cannot remember. The pair set about finding their own answers while there is still time, using the secret passages as their allies.
The High And The Dark 2: Fortuitous Paths:(MATURE) The Human-Turned-Elves’ attempts at subterfuge are greatly helped by mental access to ‘character knowledge’ of spellcraft and the like. In sum they learn that the Wild Elves are already looking for allies to go to war against the refugee Dark Elves, the Sea Elves are planning to offer them sanctuary in their territory in order to engineer their destruction in a controlled environment, and the Snow Elf Voice has Dark Elf weaponry secreted insider her suit of armor.
Eric/Shahernei gives orders to have the Snow Elf watched more carefully and it isn’t long before she’s caught and confessing under guard. Having reasoned that it was worth tarnishing her personal honor in order to prevent Dark Elves from getting a beachhead in advance of beginning another vast and destructive war.
The newly-formed ladies celebrate their victory with a spa day of sorts, pampering and primping ahead of a formal announcement that the Dark Elf refugees will be give space in High Elf lands. During which they become more comfortable within their new bodies, and being naked in them. The pair of them decide to abandon any efforts to get back to their old lives in favor of these far more powerful (and beautiful) ones.
The High And The Dark 3: Noble Pleasures:(NSFW!)A month or more later, The Queen and Princess have been splitting their time in between attending their duties to their people and spending time with each other exploring Summer Palace Island and enjoying its cultural offerings. So much so that after attending an acrobatics expedition they begin to wonder if they've been dating. This leads to a private dinner wherein they drop the royal pretenses and assess their relationship. Followed by Shaernei inviting Tath to her private 'playroom,' a section of her vast personal quarters she had converted into a museum of carnal art and magical artifacts. Tath has adult-oriented secrets of her own to share, in the form of spells she's picked up from her group’s Moon Clerics. Succumbing to mutual lust, they spend the night fooling around with each other.
The High And The Dark 4: Bandit Safari:(MATURE) While the High Elf royal court moves into its Autumnal home, The Queen and Princess go on an undercover tour of the queendom. (They and a squadron's worth of warriors, scouts, clerics, and attendants living out of a wagon with its out dimensional pocket). Having heard of bandits raiding local merchants, they lay an ambush on a forest road. The resulting fight goes off almost perfectly, but Tath is left shaken by the possibility that this adventure may result in someone's death.
A small party is put together to backtrack the bandits to their base of operations. Consisting of the two royals, a pair of twin archers, the captain of Shahernei's guard, and a Dark Elf cleric. Deeper into the woods, on shadowed land the bandit's know better, it is the elves who get suckered into an ambush. One which they barely pull through, and not without Shahernei taking a life as well as the deaths of the rest of the attackers. She ponders during the cleanup the chances that the remaining bandits will now up the stakes in response to their losses.
Upon discovering the bandits' lair, the party discovers that their leader (a huge Half-Orc) has been scrying on them since the first ambush and has taken hostages in advance of their arrival. Shaernei manipulates him into bringing himself, his hostages, and but a handful of his minions within range of a maximized teleport spell. All it affects are taken to the middle of pre-planned circle of High and Dark Warriors. Outnumbered, the bandit leader refuses to go down without a fight or let his underlings surrender. Forcing Tath into a duel with him that nearly get her killed. She kills him an adrenaline fueled-rage, causing the rest of the bandits to surrender.
In the aftermath, Shahernei comforts the reeling Princess with the knowledge that her actions saved the lives of the hostages.
The High And The Dark 5: Goblin Trouble:(MATURE) During a rest period following the bandit matter, Tath is informed by Shahernei of evidence that there are Feral Goblins building a foothold in the High Elf realm. The tour is cancelled, and the wagon sets forth to the nearby fortress of Tyl Caleth. From there, a magical portal delivers everyone (save a Royal messenger) to a mountain fortress. Where a Sergeant Giatrici escorts them to the last known position of the local General.
Along the way, they find a dead member of his personal staff. Giatraci screams unpleasantries at the Dark Elf clerics who move in to see to the man’s last rights, alerting a nearby cadre of Feral Goblins to weakness in their ranks. The Goblins attack, but the Queen and Princess only see their own parts of the ensuing battle. No deaths on their side occur, but Shahernei dresses down Giatraci all the same.
Later on, at the General Sillonosin’s seemingly abandoned staging area, the war party finds a dimensional Seem into which most of the local force had fled. (The rest having sacrificed themselves drawing the Ferals away). After listening to a number of suggestions as to what to do next, the Queen decides to stick to the General’s original plan. That being to make an illusory safe zone out of the remnants of the staging ground. Numerous other teams run the Goblin out of their dens and towards this apparently only chance at getting away. Shahernei and the archers slaughter the goblins from atop for battle wagons converted to siege towers. Tath is part of a circular phalax partway up the path. And a team of calvary waits to take down the Goblins that survived the first two gauntlets. During the course of battle, one of the Dark Elf warriors is killed.
Back at Tyl Nurdilain that night, Shahernei is introduced to the sole surviving member of General Sillonosin’s decoy team by Sergeant Giatrici. The Sergeant’s display of mixed, somewhat regretful feelings towards the deceased Dark Elf death leads the Queen to destroy a letter ordering her demotion.
The High And The Dark 6: Boy Toy:(NSFW!) Frustrated the political and tactical deliberations following the Feral Goblin elimination, Shahernei retreats into her VIP quarters in Tyl Nurdilain. She is soon visited by Rikantar, the Dark Elf cleric who has become a regular companion of her adventuring parties during the tour of her realm. Having been sent by Tathaudear, he offers her stress-relief in the form of a night’s of sex and submission play. Not coincidentally, he was used as a breeder by multiple parties down in his homeland, so he is quite suited to the task. And they both use magic to enhance their erotic adventure.
The High And The Dark 7: The Envoy:(NSFW!)Tathaudear and the rest of the Dark Elf contingent of the Royal Tour return to the swampy homeland given them by Queen Shahernei. With them is the body of the rogue’s fallen daughter, who will be resurrected in secret in order to maintain the political benefits of her sacrifice fighting Goblins. At the foot of their caverns, a trio of Druids are bombarding the High Priested with angry complaints about the full moon orgies happening in plain view. Tath compels their leader to adjourn to private to discuss matters, where she succumbs to the temptation to pleasure herself magically to the sight of the party’s youngest member. She and her advisors are surprised to learn that the Druids want to be part of the origies, but terms are soon reached.
