"Now is the time!"
Accompanying Lady Sinafi's roar, the sound of thunderous bombardment erupted.
When Dark Elf Clans warred, it always ended with the annihilation of one side. As war commenced, every attacker cast a veil of Dark Arts over their target's territory so thick, it obscured everything within. This way, other clans could only gaze upon a shrouded area, oblivious to the events unfolding inside.
Seeing nothing meant nothing had happened.
Of course, this presupposed the targeted clan was utterly destroyed.
If the assaulted clan managed to resist the attack, they could thereafter level accusations at the aggressors in the Congress, and the failed attackers would face purging.
This was the "justice" of the Drow Elves.
"Get on with what you must! I will lead the prayers, to show them we have not lost the Spider Queen's favor! However, you must thwart their assault, for if you fail... you know the consequences!"
Philray turned and ran.
