Lyuin 65 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Huwel Adaelson pauses for a moment reading the poster before he chuckles. "This Mali claim to know what Malin would want. Oddly however, I don't believe they have met Malin. I certainly haven't and I've been around a bloody long-time." He pivots on the spot walking away. "Don't believe everything you read dolt."

Smithers 388 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Orders are distributed to the Sillumiran. Shortly after, the posters vanish. A statement is made. "Evidently this one does not understand the political climate of the Fringe as it currently stands. Do not tolerate the illogical and the imbecile, lliran. This one is impure, liberal scum and its word should be taken on the same level as that of a beast." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hex37 737 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Esmie takes a poster off the wall, tapping the surface thoughtfully. Curious. Very curious. She thinks to herself. She slides the paper away, reminding herself to speak with Alirya later, should the woman be unable to gain entry to her home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dohvi 622 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Delonna comes across one of the posters, and shakes his head with a sigh. "Hrmpf. If defending ones land, friends and family from unprovoked aggression and those with a shameful attitude towards health and progress makes them a human in Malin's eyes, then I don't care to be an elf of Malin. We are the descendants of silver, and under our guidance the Mali have a future." Iyathae ito Haelun'or." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithradites 1168 Share Posted June 18, 2014 "Tahn'siol 'wages' war like the hated Conclave of Malin. Tahn'siol is owned by humans. The elves of Tahn'siol are human Why don't we become the way Malin was? He accepted his children even when they scattered. He only shed blood when the lives of his children were at stake. He strove for peace and progression. Why can't we just be elven? -with sadness,Alirya No I do not support breeding with those not of Malin" Standing amongst a few elven gawkers, the Maheral Lucion Sullas raises his eyebrow incredulously before speaking to some of his associates nearby. "Let us examine the claims of this individual point by point. In the first statement, the individual claims we wage war similar to that of the old Conclave. I suspect she therefore means that we do not wage war at all. I cannot remember an instance where the Conclave was officially at war, or took violent actions against those outside of it. Perhaps they refer to defending against raiding parties? I suppose that would make us similar to the Conclave in that respect, as well as everyone during this fetid war. Next she claims that we are "owned by humans" and that "the elves of Tahn'siol are human." Alliances are not declarations of vassalage. Frankly, the humans have made no overbearing demands of us, or any demands at all, save for requesting military assistance from time-to-time; as is stipulated within our alliance. I will assume by referring to us as "human" she implies that we have human tendencies. Such as defending ourselves from attacks, not allowing unknown and untrustworthy individuals into the city-proper and the districts, not having our gates open for any unscrupulous wanderer to enter and burn things down, or perhaps because we do not care for the presence of impure, belligerent lechers that so many of our fallen kindred idolise? An unfortunate thing. I suppose we shall forever be considered "humans" by her. The third and longest statement appears to be a wishful desire to return as Malin was. I would suppose this was a noble sentiment, were I to know precisely what that entails. What do we know of Malin? What, precisely, were his ways? Living amongst trees? Being "nice?" Accepting whatever cross-bred mutt that walked into his home, only to have them curse multiple generations of his pure-born elves? I should hope that our Father Malin would be wiser than this. Even so, would not his "ways," whatever they may have been, be hopelessly outdated after the millennia of his passing? We are now using solid forms of governance and philosophy. There is not a single entity in this world that does not, in some way, strive for "peace and progression." The circumstances of the Mali take us down different paths than Malin. And these different paths require different methods. He would understand, as I feel he was an intelligent fellow. And, at last, we come to the final statement. "Why can we not be elves?" Indeed. I suppose this statement would be poignant, were the districts under the Enclave's control not entirely for the purpose of solidifying the differing elven cultures. We Mali'aheral did so quite entirely out of kindness. We saw an opportunity to end the diaspora of the Mali, and bring them under one state; Motherland. Our Haelun'or. We are all of us elves of pure blood, and many now seek to find their place in the world without the fear of oppression. I propose that the writer of this letter, this "Alirya," is more human than she claims herself to be. Possibly because she considers "elven" to be only one's capacity for "niceness", and one's desire to hug a tree." Taking one final look at the parchment, Lucion cracks a small smile. "You know, were this the early days of Asulon, whole legions of elves would yell and scorn in disbelief were I to tell them breeding with non-elves was a terrible thing. Nowadays, even the mindless note-leaving outsiders accept it as truth. Perhaps in another century or two, they will understand entirely, and come to us in both body and mind." As Lucion finishes, he is offered a cup of tea with two district elves, and some of his high-elven compatriots. He declines politely, and returns instead to the Tahn'siol Teahouse, where he has tea alone with a pleasant book. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
