The Protected

[Lago 2572]

Adrek just laughs when he hears of this. Now it is not only genocide of High Elven kind, but of all who disagree with it?

Adrek wonders which race Rusk'Dom is of, and if this banner of nations will attempt to wipe out all of his kind. He makes Kalenz Uradiir look like a saint.

[Tsuyose 3285]

 Draoi arched an eyebrow, a faint sigh gushing out from between his arid lips, retrieving a feather from the depths of his robes as well as a minuscule pot of ink, tugging away the cork he dips the tip of the feather within, writing onto a note, fetching a bird and sending it off to Phaedrus.

 

"I seek protection too, I'm not known well amongst the Mali, but I go by the name of 'Draoi Vallulaei.' I would also like for my other half Rinwen Vanvathar to be under one's protection, too. Perhaps we could possibly speak in person one day soon, I am sure you're very busy as of recent with all this commotion so I'll most likely approach you before the ending of this Elven week."

[dandan1350 479]

Daniel gives a faint sigh after overhearing Lyuins thoughts on the matters, stepping up to protect his pupils life instead. Sending off a small note in response to the protection list.

 

"Apologies for such a short letter but I am not a man of words, more action so I shall try to keep this brief.

 

It has come to my attention that one of my clerics, a young lad who has done nothing but help save and protect the lives of the innocent during the Anthosian war against the Harbingers and still to this point valiantly defends the innocent is not currently on the list.

 

I would ask that if the time does finally come Lyuin be spared any torment as while a small force he is still under the protection of the Sacred light. An order that in the coming days would be much better to have on your side rather then a grudge for killing one of our own. However I ask that this Lyuin clerical identity also be left secret from any others for the moment.

 

-Ivanus."

"This should be a list of those who must be brought to justice, not a list of "chosen people" to be preserved from a mass genocide. Kalenz Uradiir himself would balk at such an act."

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

"This should be a list of those who must be brought to justice, not a list of "chosen people" to be preserved from a mass genocide. Kalenz Uradiir himself would balk at such an act."

 

"In all honesty, I really don't think he would..." Elorna mutters, then leaves another list of names to be added.

 

"Anya Calith, Elleyun Calith, Ceriren Ibar'acal, Amras'Tullum."

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

"This should be a list of those who must be brought to justice, not a list of "chosen people" to be preserved from a mass genocide. Kalenz Uradiir himself would balk at such an act."

 

"Anyone who knows me knows I despise the high elven race but I agree with this. If anything, to prove that we do not purge like them, we have morals and common sense, and we only seek to bring those who are toxic to society to justice. Not an entire race, regardless of personal bias."

 

Art, who had recently made a return to Annil'sul to pledge his support to Phaedrus' movement takes a short breath before speaking.

 

"As for the first member of this list...

My old delver in arms, fellow apprentice of the mindlord, and oldest 'friend'.

Kalenz Uradir."

[CosmicWhaleShark 2488]

"That is one name I simply cannot allow on this list, Artimec. You, perhaps fortunately, perhaps not, left before things truly spiraled downward with Kalenz.

 

It is good to have you back, however, welcome."

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

Art was talking about [Lagos character]'s proposed list of high elves to be removed in regards to Kalenz, as opposed to the protection list that currently exists. He decides not to speak up about it though, coughing hoarsely into his frail arm and nodding his head in responce, walking off.

[Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540]

"There is a degree of truth in what is said. To hunt them all down is, from a moral field of view, just as bad as they did. Kalenz and his lackeys are the ones to blame. Not all of those who sought purity.

 

The Mali'aheral rise to power made impurity not just an ejection from a society one disliked, but an ejection from all societies remotely familiar. The very man who orchestrated these atrocities was the one who could destroy the life of a high elf. It is no wonder so many went along with it. 

 

For years I have been in my own exile, kept away from my kin. Because of this, I hold no scorn towards those who kept their heads down. It is no crime to want to live around your own kind. To want to keep your family safe.

 

With this change so abrupt, there is no doubt that many of these 'Kalenz loyalists' are just as confused and scared as many of us are. They have had a rift spring into their lives overnight, and are forced to choose whether to follow a psychopath or leave to the very group that usurped them.

 

They should be judged as individuals. Not as High Elves, not as Purists, just as elves. 

 

Kill Kalenz.

Kill those who defend him.

Let those who simply wish to live, live."

[spqrSancus 175]

Asul'athri frowns at this recent turn of events. The hunted may become the hunted, but it would be well if he could, perhaps, escape from this. If not... Well... It would appear the time to flee has come.

 

He begins to pen a letter from his home, glancing up fearfully at the sound of marching silver boots. He keeps his staff close at hand, and hopes for the best.

 

It has come to my attention that those formerly of the Silver district and those found inside as a silver elf are being hunted down for atrocities committed against those deemed impure and, in other asides, genocide. I, Asul'athri Parir'taliyu, formally request to be exempted from the coming destruction and be added to the list of protected aheral. I hold and have held no hostile intent to mali of any kind, and simply wish to be enabled to live and do my research in peace. If you will do so, I request you send a bird to the ruins of the Forest of Fiandria, wherein I will wait, hopefully in peace, for your answer, Annilir.

 

-Asul'athri Parir'taliyu

 

At this, he rummages through his chests, gathering all of value before taking up his iron-headed staff and fleeing from his home. An elf dressed in silver robes, with spectacles hanging loosely onto his ears and nose, can be seen running from the district, possibly chased by a large assortment of armed elves, clutching onto staff and books as he attempts to hurl himself over one of the lower parts of the wall and flee with less chance of capture.

One would notice a new draft of the original list of the protected has been put up. It is remarkably barren.

[Sporadic 2843]

The new list is remarkably barren, thus leaving sufficient empty parchment for assorted doodles. One such artist has spotted the opportunity. The ink of it is applied thickly, hastily, clearly done by someone who was trembling and in a hurry for one reason or another.

 

The drawing itself is of a mountain of skulls, with a figure perched atop of it. The ears of the figure are clear and pointed, unmistakably Elven in nature. Yet the hands, balled into tight fists and clenched around a skull each, are massive and grotesque, and it takes little fantasy to identify them as the hands of an orc.

 

The doodle is signed, in a way, in large dripping letters.

 

"All Hail the Prince of the Cinder!"

[TeaLulu 1783]

A note is left pinned upon the gates of Annil'sul.

 

 

Mali'aheral or no, you advocate a genocide of children, Mali under the age of maturity.

[Maliewyn'divu 21]

A note is pinned under the other.

"All hail elMaruthir."
