Good ol' Dulevrie!
He's pretty awful, but in that shadowy world, he's the only hero in sight for Hal'aste.

Even villains have people they care about... sometimes they even admit it!

Heh. Humans, whether they know it or not, have the terraformers, you slate faced point ears, what I call the mantle swimming Titan Droids are loyal ONLY to the Sons of Adam.
Drow in their caverns stood the least chance of all against them. The slightest burp from a titan droid underneath can bury them all alive.
The clerics who know how to summon them are the most powerful men in the world.

The reactivation of the terraforming system is not really an enjoyable experience for the dark elves.
Though, really, it's not much of an enjoyable experience for anyone.

True, but desperate times demand desperate acts. I do wish the humans figured out how to merely threaten with the system with the equivalent of a “shot across the bow” instead of fully activate it, however. Damn things, whatever they specifically are (I think “Titan Droid” is a cool name, but really no one knows; they may have figured out how to control thousands of mini black holes that travel through the crust for all we know), never do anything by halves.

When you're dealing with technology that old, sometimes all you can do is "press the button" and hope you read the manual correctly. I have my own theories about why it all went down like it did, but that'll have to wait until I actually write it, assuming someone else doesn't get there first. XD
Considering the actual reactivation may well have been transmitting "disengage all safety lockouts and restart the process", no, nothing gets done by half measures...

Hard to read a manual when the minimum physics needed for comprehension are totally alien to one’s philosophy.
