Alright, so it's no secret that I am one of the old elf community players that has always tried to bring a little of the Tel'Quessir even when it doesn't belong, is not wanted, and may not be needed. I've been trying since almost day one to push a DM or player-driven intitiative to give the elven playerbase a goal and place - no matter how niche - in the Sundren world and story. Now I want to know how many of you out there are like me, how serious we are, and if we can focus this common interest in a positive way.
Way back in the day, I did something like this with moderate results. Here's the deal: I'm using pre-existing lore within Sundren to introduce a select group of player characters with conjoined backstory for the purposes of starting a player-driven and supported non-faction (much like how the old Vigilent Eye and Skullcleavers were). I cannot speak for any sort of DM or project support - this is purely a player trying to drive player interest at this point, but interesting characters with interesting goals working together can and will turn heads.
Initially, the conjoined characters will feature these sorts of links: they are Sun (or Moon) elves from Evermeet, whom arrived Pre-Second Sundering on the galley The Emerald Fleet due to a pirate attack that forced them to deviate from their original mission. Several of the militant forces of the Emerald Fleet have taken root in the Valley for a few reasons:
This won't be limited to these characters, however: if anyone interested doesn't elect to take a fresh start at the idea, the existing would-be members will begin to look for potential recruits from among the resident Tel'Quessir - those who prove loyal, resourceful, and devoted to The People and their long-term interest in the wild frontier that is the Sundered Valley.

Several of the militant forces of the Emerald Fleet have taken root in the Valley for a few reasons:
- To survey the potential for the Bloodmain Orcs to become a serious sea-faring threat with a path to Evermeet (considering that a powerful Chosen of Gruumsh recently led a massive force).
- To assess the situation (and possible dangers) of the human nation of Sundren, their Netherese-like Flying City, and they're long-term goals if they stabilize the region.
- To seek out remnants of previous explorations, Crown War artifacts, possible wood elf settlements, anything that would be relevant to the Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower and the homeland.
