Why do I get the feeling this quest would have been substantially easier if I hadn't killed most of the Telvannni in my quest to become thier warleader? It's thier own fault, really. See, thier laws say it's perfectly legal for anyone to kill anyone. If you can't protect yourself or offer your services to someone who can protect you, then you're useless and deserve to die. It's your typical evil mage organisation. They wouldn't agree to my terms, so I killed them.
Plus my character only really cares for the ashlanders since they took him in. All the rest of the dark elves could go to Sithis, for all he cares.
