Description
The Elven Nation is governed by a High Council in which two members of each sub-race hold a seat. While not required more often than not each sub-race pairing has a member of each gender represented as well. This ensures that a broad base of skills, knowledge and personalities are available for important decisions. Unfortunately, it also means there is usually a great deal of disagreement at any meeting of the High Council.
On top of that W'rath, our bespectacled, chain smoking drow, and K'hul, the male representative of the "First Born" (my version of Sun elves for you Forgotten Realms folks), who's temper is as nasty as his red armor implies, loathe one another.
Elven council meetings are... lively, to say the least.
I apologize in advance as I do not have the patience to give credit to every single item included in this render. It was created in two layers, with all the left side folks on one layer and all the right side folks on the other layer.
The tent with the table, stools, map, sword and goblets is a "Battle Tent" that I picked up at Poser World. It also comes with racks of spears, though the tips of the spears are very primitive, so I replaced all of them with spear tips from the DM Hero's Path set. The wood on the table is pretty lo-rez as well, so I used a grunge overlay to give it a little more character.
I should give credit to Xurge of Xurge3d.com as I used three of his armor sets in this render. K'hul is wearing the Paladin armor for M4, Raven is wearing Warmonger for V4, and the tall First Born lady on the left is wearing Warlady Armor for V3.
If there is a specific item you're wanting to know what it is go ahead and PM me and I'll do my best to remember what it is and where you can get it.
Lighting was one distant light aimed through the tent front, and four point lights from omnifreaker's UberPoint light shader for DAZ Studio. I did move the point lights around for each layer as I wanted to ensure each of the characters was visible without making the entire scene overly bright.

!!!! Gosh... this is awesome! Excellent work on the layering, if I hadn't read it I would have though it was done in one pass (with a mother load of RAM). Brilliant!

What is this doing on a teeny little monitor screen. As soon as I win the lotto I shall have this masterpiece blown up to at least 8 ft wide and buy a castle in which to hang it on the wall . Of course you will need to make some eye holes in the elf on the left so I can spy on my greedy family trying to get it at the bogus estate sale after I fake my death.
