Bronze Stands Bold

Vykk Volaren passes through on a diplomatic mission and thinks to himself "I have seen many desperate Mali'aheral, but never one as desperate as that..."

[Lago 2572]

Phaedrus nods briefly in agreement, though he does not address the random Elf in the crowd. Rather he responds to the original mali'aheral.

 

"...Yes, I would say so. I normally have a flask or canteen on my person as well, normally filled with water."

 

"I then ask Mr Lucion Sullas, if he is present, for any alchemical analysis he or his colleagues have carried out upon the water supply of the Silver City, namely of the concentration of various minerals with particular reference to aurum, ferrum, carbarum, eruthium, thanhium...

...and arcaurum."

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

Damasus Visaj stands in shock and awe.

 

"Only a mali'aheral may be Sohaer. Annil'sul is OUR city. We built it, and we housed mali'ame and mali'ker. If you do not like it, then LEAVE. The Sohaer however, will always be a mali'aheral."

 

"But if you are willing to stay under Mali'aheral command in Annil'sul, all who join your defending force will be exempt from shop rent. Including yourself."

 

"I told Elorna that eventually even the most tolerant of Mali'ame would lose their patience with the mali'aheral system of government and now it seems Phaedrus, the poster boy of the 'haelun'or assimilated' wood elf is standing for more recognition and opportunity, as I did years ago. I don't like him much personally, but his motivations are in the right place.

Mali'aheral effectively made it illegal to live anywhere that wasn't under Haelun'ors jurisdiction during your Sohaer's attempts to assimilate the entire elven population. Many of us would LIKE to leave but can't."

Art states rather plainly and matter of factly.

 

((On a side note the parallels to Nelson Mandela here are eerily similar...))

The young mali'ame that is Hecate Acius, on one of her customary visits to the market, spits at Phaedrus' feet from a relatively safe distance, heedless of the possible consequences. "I'd follow the Naysayer before I follow you. Monstrous would-be murderer!"

 

The mali'aheral which is Asul'athri Parir'taliyu watches the proceedings with his usual, bland, disinterested stare. "... As much I disapprove of the okarir'akaln, who would flaunt his power as though it were a toy, I would rather he, oem'mali'aheral'thill, over any mali'ame, any day."

 

((Please don't take this as a personal attack. I know it sounds like one, but they are both the direct consequence of RP thinking (and in Hecate's case, actions). I mean no offense in OOC))

[Heff 2460]

Milo listens within the crowd, raising his hand once Phaedrus finishes speaking. "Perhaps a grove o' peace would 'elp?"

[Supah 334]

"If the Mali'ame and Mali'ker were to leave, Mali'aheral would fall. We are the only ones defending your city and keeping those that want your ears and lovely platinum or golden hair, in quite.. unpleasant ways.. At some point Mali'aheral are not going to be the ones making decisions for el'cihi. As much as it might pain you to realize, Mali'aheral. I was once struck for equating a Mali'aheral to a Mali'ame, when I was younger, though now I fear no such thing. Mali'aheral are not pure in mind, nor are ker, nor ame. We're equal, we do what we must, to the best of our ability." Arveldir sighs lightly as he rests back on his heels, the lemon-eyed Mali'ker adjusting his robes absently.

"Now how dedicated?"an older wood elfess mummers, contiuing to ramble on in another tounge

[Sentlit 108]

Cyrus, listening to the speech and argument quietly for some time finally speaks up.

 

"It would seem that this Mali'ame who desires the position of Sohaer is the best choice of any mali'ame that I have seen. He knows the values that our state seeks to uphold, he speaks with soft tongue, but yet is not mali'aheral."

 

Cyrus pauses for a moment, breathing in again.

 

"For years we have deemed other peoples as lesser, because they simply could not comprehend nor efficiently complete our sacred ideal of progress. As painful as it may seem... we now know that at least one mali'ame has progressed upon his own volition to have the ability to uphold this value like any average mali'aheral. It is thus proven that mali'ame are capable of ascension in some regard and perhaps... for the sake of progress... we should consider Phaedrus for office of Sohaer in the event of no better candidate."

 

"Please, consider the reason why all of this- for lack of a better term- racism came to be. It was justified in the past- but are we so mentally crystallized that we now follow our old ways like religious zealots? Let it not be so! Let us consider all outcomes and options before coming to judgement. Let not predisposition gum up progress."

 

"There is much more that I can say... but I'll stop here for now." Cyrus finishes, awaiting either welcome responses or the wrath of those around him.

Taliyu'thilln quietly watches the proceedings of the speech and the debate afterwards, studying the faces of those speaking, as well as watching the faces of those who chose not to speak in such a public form. Finally, he speaks:

 

"To accept a mali'ame as the Sohaer would be to go against most if not all that the mali'aheral have stood for. As far as I am aware, there is bound to be some kind of restriction on who may run for Sohaer, for as it has already been said, we would not allow an Uruk to take that position, and it is unlikely we would allow a human, even a close ally to take that position. Granted, the Mali'ame are at least mali, however they are not mali'aheral, even if they should understand progress as the mali'aheral understand it. 

 

"Do not take me as lacking the respect for what the mali'ame and mali'ker have contributed to the current state, however the fact that they are not mali'aheral should be taken into account. It is important to remember that while there are mali'aheral, mali'ame, and mali'ker all included here, it was originally, and should stay, a mali'aheral state alone.

"If it is the purpose of Phaedrus to gain more equality among the elves, perhaps it should be considered to bring back a united mali state, as Malinor was, though clearly not with the same ideals, standards, and results that the mess that was Malinor caused. Perhaps that is what this discussion should be toward, as it is very unlikely that any but a mali'aheral could take up the position of Sohaer. I would suggest to Phaedrus that he should begin by offering a solution of that sort."

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

Elorna watches Damasus, folding her arms. "That illustrates the problem better than any way I can think to describe it..." she mumbles.

 

"Phaedrus would be a worthy Sohaer, and the Mali'aheral should reconsider whatever boundaries may be in place to prevent that. Haelun'or is no longer a city of Mali'aheral with the Mali'ame and Mali'ker clinging to their skirts. We are a unified city of Mali, distinct in our own cultures but bonded together to make a stronger whole. If a Mali'ame is the best candidate, then that Mali'ame should be chosen."

[zaezae 1098]

A small Ituri waits for a moment to speak up. When she senses an adequate silents, she speaks. 

 

"Any lesser civilized race would not patiently explain their grievances, Mali'aheral. There will have to come a time and place when idle preconceptions of universal superiority will see their flames dimmed. What has been created in this realm isn't a city of Mali'aheral, and any claim otherwise is wholly dishonest. All of us here co-exist fluidly, but this entire display is more evidence that we are not meant to rule one another, and so long as a Mali'aheral attempts rule over Mali that did not choose him or her, then we will never settle into a true rest as a people."
