Everybody wear masks - see the dark elf and troll mask-. Normally they are used in public, which is specially imposed to "lesser creatures" as the ozcuras, Orcs and others servants. For the dark elven rulers is less an obligation, but is commonly done, and everybody have their own masks.

Interesting.  Hmm...  Judging from the map, this city is far to the north of Negeémiliel.  Is there any trade going on between the two?

yes, BUT for you to know: this city will be builded the 2476 a.a.H,  which is about 40 years later in relation to the Dahl'Arak coup and other events around in Negeémiliel!

Zaghäl will be founded as part of an alliance between dark elves and the dark legion, to gather the more magical-inclined dark elves of all kinds, so there will be even many Negeémi inmigrants -and of other drow and Hake cities all over Aiers!-

OK. When do the demons contact Negeemiliel? Was it before or after the coup?

It's not so easy; before the first WA of the power, it was a populist dictator who made an alliance with demons to become Queen Vrinn I of Negeemiliel.

She was killed during the war, and her generals couldn't keep the regency for her daughter, and the negeemi Republican institutions where reinstalled -largely by the senatorials-

General Dahl'Arak ., being a senatorial and with a bad personal experience, is no friend with demons, so while Negeiliel will be shortly contacted after the return of demons, but she delayed any answer, and it wouldn't be until much later in the war that Negeemiliel was "convinced" to enter again in the dark legion - for more of the quuen of Negeemiliel, see the wiki

Interesting. I may have to work some references to that into the story...
