Condemning Silver: Superiority Complex

[Arkelos 1027]

Letters of all types are sent by birds, scattered throughout the realm. The flock seems to come and go, and change in size and letters produced by multiple people, the handwriting different can be read

 

 

Superiority Complex:An attitude of superiority that conceals actual feelings of inferiority and failure. The High elves of Haelun’or are guilty of this, but they also are guilty of minor traits of an Inferiority complex, which lets them lash out at innocent people.

 

High Elves of Haelun’or, how are you capable of such crimes, when supposedly you are the perfect breed? You call yourself pure, but your Sohaer has many mental impurities, making him an Impure Pure. That is, if Purity truly exists to you child killing savages.

You feel no remorse for your actions, hurting Druid and Mali, harming Bortu and even harming Valah, as I have seen. Purity to you is more like a facade of fools gold. Its fake. This fake purity allows you some false sense of superiority and allows you to feel better about oneself, but deep down you all know that you’re inferior creatures, the lowest of the low. That is why you built on a mysterious plateau that rose from the ground without any sort of warning beforehand, is it? (Though I may be wrong about the Plateau, please feel free to clarify how such a wonderful thing came to be.)

You are nothing more than insects, though I think insects would have much more class then a childkiller like Kalenz. Who will probably not even join this war he started out of protecting his own hide. But that will be easier for me to kill him, while his armies are away.

I'll even say this, The orcs have honor not to kill a kid unless the kid does something to provoke them, you kill them for fun. Orcs have more honor then you ever will.

But back to the original topic, I like to let my mind wander when I write too much. You are not Silver, you are not even gold, such precious metals would never harm innocent life like you have, you are dirt. Ground where animals lay their waste on top, where people step over you. But you have risen too far to be natural.

That is why we will bury you to the deepest depths of this realm.

 

Those who agree with me shall find it easy to send a letter to me, if you agree, and wish to either join my cause and assist it, feel free to do so, and to those who are generalized as /Impure/ High Elves, as long as we do not find you in their city, you will usually be safe. Find shelter with someone you know, or you may contact me, you will always have a home.

Our cause is righteous, we will boil Silver and melt Bronze.

The Maestro
 
And on the bottom of the letter, there appears to be a large serpent sketched, shaped in the form of an S

"We are coming."

A letter is sent a letter via the "easy to send letters" method described. Well, I say a letter. It's a book.

 

Propaganda for Beginners

 

Inside is a handwritten page of more specific advice.

1. Find yourself an original symbol. Simply turning the enemy symbol upside down and calling it your own makes you look like an uncreative imitation and grants your enemy the legitimacy of originality.
2. Research basic grammar. To have your attempts at propaganda blighted by tautology such as "Impure Pure" makes it look poorly crafted and childish.
3. Connect your logic. Claiming your enemy built their city on a defensible plateau because they have a collective inferiority complex is something of a non-sequeter. The High Elves have low self esteem. Therefore they built their city on a geological feature. One does not see the connection.
4. Do not ask random geographical questions in the middle of of your propaganda. Asking where plateaus and cliffs come from in the middle of a propagandic attack on your enemy just looks silly.
5. Aim your attacks well. If you are attempting to paint the High Elves as insecure mass murderers, do not suddenly diverge into discussing their sense of style. How "classy" they are pales before the liquefaction of children, and by equating them as worthy of parallel discussion you diminish your main argument.
6. "Even harming Valah." This bears the implication that harming humans is somehow more socially taboo than druids, dwarves and elves. It is unwise to compare your human allies to children in need of sheltering.
7. "But that will be easier for me to kill him, while his armies are away." Do not make yourself sound like an assassin. Nobody in Athera takes assassins seriously.
8. "such precious metals would never harm innocent life like you have" If you cannot naturally appreciate how silly this line sounds then you are unsuited to the writing of propaganda and should defer the task to your more skillful peers. To suggest gold and silver, metals, are unable to harm innocents make the reader unsure whether to laugh or sigh. A man impaled on a spike of iron, gold or silver is still dead, and metal itself has no will of its own.
9. Do not use purple text on a brown background. You want the people to be able to easily read your message, after all.
10. Do not name yourself after a debit card.

"Urukz, Shara agh Gazat nub pruhduuz diz muj propuhganduh. Urukz agh sharaz klomp, agh ztowtz ruhn." Says Buubztik, starting to become peeved at the propaganda.

Salazar Elibar'acal receives such propaganda, cocking his head sideways. He curiously reads over the letter.

"Here oem can observe filth attempting to write something meaningful, yet trip themselves over on false allegations and twisting themselves into knots with their subordinate wordplay. Is this intended to be threatening?"

Far within the realm, hidden a winding tunnel a being radiating a dim gold. He abruptly cranes his head to his rear. He gives a firm nod.

 

"Order."

Primrose would read the note after her ravens kill one of the messager birds and bring her the note. As she sits at the base of her grove she reads the note giggling before throwing the note to the side. "Silver is but a heavy metal, it is not a precious metal. Playing with it will harm many of you. Heed these words all those who actually care about what is natural and do not just speak idle insults like those on high." She says gazing over her grove's grounds before wondering back into her grove. 

 

OOC:

[Arkelos 1027]

The letter reaches one of the scout who rest near a perch from which they were ordered to stay, receiving a letter, they retie it to the bird upon reading it and send news to the Maestro.

 

The Maestro laughs, she seems to be in a great mood now as she then sighs "Its not propaganda, especially when we have a statement to be made." she looks over to the restrained High Elf, smirking "Plucked away and spirited to our domain, is this one"

 

"She shall be boiled soon. We do not write petty propaganda."
