After the last few campaigns I'd rather not side with any elves of any kind. Damn SPE's!
Personal feelings aside, I think PM is right about this; the WE aren't going to form an alliance with anyone who wants to harm the forest. which is pretty much what we're doing. However I'm also not trusting the High Elves on this; the crown is pretty damn powerful, and since they're so full fot ehmselves they'll probably want it very bad, "because they're the only ones who can handle it". Which would upset the dwarfs. And I'm much more looking forward to teaming up with the dwarfs than with the high elves.
Tostig:
I have to say I'm not too keen on the pointy eared gits either. What if we were instead to propose an alliance with, say, the Brettonians. They may be arrogant, backwards, stuck up dogs, but at least they're human. Looking at it more rationally, neither of us could deal with the Crown on own own, we have strong trading links and have both worked together a lot in the past. Sure, things can get a bit rough on the border at times, but what else are hot-headed young nobles for?
As for the lizardmen - I'm not sure exactly how we'd go about it. Send off a young Estalian covered in tomato sauce? They're culture is just so alien to the Empire, and I'm not entirely sure as to what they might want from an alliance.
Dividing the traditionally 'good' races, as they've done, was a good idea in my opinion. It means we all have to think ;)

Have you looked at the background material from GW? The Bretonnian reason for joining the campaign is that there King has run out of land to give to worthy Nobles.
With wood elves, we have the common goal of clearing chaos from the forest. We can also confirm their rights to those portions of the forrest they already claim. They may be more inclined to necessary measures elsewhere in the forest, if they know their land are secure.
I also think an alliance with the High Elves should be considered. The Dwarves are already talking about this. So 1. we need to to keep them off our backs. 2. The Crown may be useful, but it is also highly dangerous. If the dangers can be eliminated fine. Otherwise, the magical expertise of the elves may be necessary to destroy or neutralize the danger. 3. The combined Imperial and Elvish fleets can protect the costland from Norse and Dark Elf raiders. A special concern in Nordland.
Oh and the scroll is nice work. But we should decide on a draft quickly. Does anyone want the honor of serving as ambassador?
Veldemere:
I agree the HE would be good allies, but I was assuming they would not turn against us anyway as they have always supported us. I was merely hoping to get someone to act as a speed bump for the Brets as the last thing we need when going to war is the whiff of cheese up the rear!

I'll volunteer as an ambassador, unless someone with more standing on the board (i.e., a higher post count lol) wants to.
