Your Misconceptions

To answer your question:

No, there are none who bind the fae against their will within
Glomdoring. There are none that support those who bind the fae against
their will, within Glomdoring. The Propaganda so eagerly spread by
Serenwilde has crept into the minds of the fae, and had them believing
that Mother Night was some monster waiting to get them. Mother Night is
a glorious and benevolent Nature Spirit, She offers power to the fae who
follow Her, freely and in great quantities. The Moondancers and the
Serenwilde are upset that power comes with pain. In the past, and still
now, at times the fae must be reborn. But is not rebirth a part of
Nature? The Fae of the Shadowdancers are enlightened. Enlightened by
Mother Night and Her avatars. Does Queen Maeve hate Mother Night? Does
Queen Maeve see Mother Night as anathema to the Ethereal Plane? Of
course not. Mother Night is a Great Nature SpiritOne of the Greatest. If
She were not, why would Sun unceasingly chase Her? If She were not, how
could She have survived the unleashing of Kethuru unscathed? An
unleashing which the Serenwilde's current ally, caused. You point your
fingers at Glomdoring and call heresy, yet I would point mine at you,
and say with confidence, Hypocrisy.

If you truly believe the Wyrden Wood a tragedy, why do you ally with Its
destroyer? Did not the Evil Celestine Empire cause this great and
terrible horror to fall upon oh so helpless Gloriana? "But New Celest is
different!" you will say. How? How is it different? Are there not the
same guilds? The same ideals? The same sickeningly oblivious people? The
Empire was blinded by ambition and ignorance. New Celest is exactly the
same, except in a different location. It is only a matter of time before
they do something to endanger the rest of the Basin. Again.

In summation, you are wrong. The Fae who follow Mother Night become
enlightened, more powerful than would be possible otherwise. The Wyrden
Wood is majestic and powerful, only equaled by Its beauty. For the
resulting creation of two Elder Goddesses can be nothing but perfect. To
disagree is ignorance.

There is no Lost Gloriana.
The Gloriana was remade in all of Its grace.
By the decree of Lady Viravain, Gloriana is now Glomdoring.
Address it as such.
