Our population keeps growing and I doubt the Isles can take much more of this That was what all the reports he read where confirming to Githras, If their population continued to increase at the same rate then they would outgrow the Isles, indeed it surprised him that they could sustain such a large population even now, it was with this problm he had been wrestling with for the past month or so finnally he approached the Council of Houses with what he saw as a potential solution.
speech before the Council of Houses
'My Friends, we have been remiss, we left Evermeet and Toril behind us to find new homes at the ending of the retreat, to found a new Myth Drannor, but here on this world we have repeated the same excercise. Look at us, we live on three Isles, afraid of an attack by the Undead, what security have we brought our people? What future, nothing but create a second basket for the Elves of Toril, so rather than our peoples fate rest on one location it now rests on two...'
'We came to this world to spread our people, and I propose we do this, I ask this council to grant me the power to negotiate the founding of Enclaves for our people in any nation that will accept us. Of course we have other reasons to do this, to put it simply the Isles cannot contain us, they have served as our womb, as our home as we grew, but now it is time to truely mature.
It is said that the glorly of Myth Drannor was achieved because our people worked with the Humans and the Dwarves in that fabled city, if we live contained on this Island we deny ourselves the chance to reach that height once more. Let us then walk amongest the others and join with them, let us remember the glory of the past as we build a new future upon the lessons we can learn from the past.
End Speech
Initial voting was split and yet after a few hours of deliberation it appeared to be swinging Githras' way indeed by the next morning he was confident enough to begin looking at a few places to begin in.
