Elmaruthir

[Maliewyn'divu 21]

*a notice is posted outside the Silver City, in the Cloud Temple, and in many other locations.*

"The recent situation in the city of Elves has caused me much pain. I myself have been ridiculed buy these people for some time, these High Elves who hold so dearly to their purity, and have scorned me for my forced impurity. Rightly so, for my appearance is not pure, and should I have been in their situation I would have done the same. However, impure as I am, I cannot watch this genocide with a clear heart.

"Phaedrus, this stain of the mali'ame, claims to be doing good by naming himself the new leader of the elves. Yet was it not he who was denied the position of Sohaer? Does it not seem so convenient for him? He merely /found/ the rightly elected Sohaer trapped in this crystalline substance? He /surely/ made /all/ attempts to free elSohaer. But, alas, he was /forced/ to declare /martial law/? Who granted him that power? He claims that all who may run for Sohaer will be carefully studied to make sure they are good, yet has he been through the same scrutinous study? He claims to be only temporary, and to wait for another election, but he has not called for one. He only cares for a name for this 'New Malinor'.

"Do as you wish, my fellow mali. But even as he accepts those like myself to return, I will not return for I do not trust him. Who is to say that something will not happen to the next Sohaer? Or the next? Until all who would challenge him have fallen and he /regretfully/ takes position as elMaruthir? No, I do not trust him, and I do not trust this warrior to lead the mali to peace. I would rather live persecuted, as an outcast, holding to the best standard of purity I am able, rather than join him."

"Damn good thing it doesn't look like there's going to be another Sohaer, then.

 

He's not perfect, but he's twenty times better than the alternatives."
