The Sharyn Way - To Honor Malin

[Swgrclan 2682]

In the dead of night, a robed figure assumes the duty to plaster several intricately-designed and well written missives upon a multitude of Elven homes, postboards and even the Haelun'or gates; all bearing the same, delicately-scribed message to the point and letter. As these copied reports appear to be artistically fabricated, there lies only a sparse amount posted within known Elven settlements. Their creator is an enigma, for the messages hold no signature.

"Elves of splintered nature; to hume-elves and of truer descent, you are addressed:

The cycle of the factitious Elf has spun in full circle, and has been led to it's beginning point. It is in due time that the ideal of the subrace - the dark pride, the pale haughtiness, the tanned isolation - will come to an end. In this age of return to the broken lands of Aegis, Malin's lost spirit weeps for the broken mirror that are His kindred, and the pieces that are His descendants. False idols and the progression of oneself is valued over the whole of the Elven race, and it has come to the point where even the humans of Oren have easier time uniting under whatever banner of royalty they fabricate every other decade than Malin's children whom, by his word, were intended to walk the forests. The one Elf dwelt His time. In His time, the good Elf walked beneath oaks and fashioned cities of wood and timber to keep to the land but not bind themselves to it; they did not lie secluded atop false plateaus adorned with godless stone towers, or hide beneath the earth to praise the past. The true Elf is gone; but it may return.

Redemption comes with unity. The common subrace must be abolished, and the factitious human sin must be washed clean."

[Treshure 5818]

"Uniting under one will only cause festering rebellion and insubordination from the lesser races such as the Mali'ker and Mali'ame. Such has been attempted before."

[Cjmate 1270]

"Uniting under one will only cause oppressive domination and blatant racism from the other race, the Mali'aheral. Such has always been attempted." Leithlan thinks to himself.

 

He speaks out loud, "We may only be equal in a republic or state with representatives from all sorts. It is folly to hide differences. They must be accounted for, respectably. Civilly." 

[Swgrclan 2682]

"Uniting under one will only cause festering rebellion and insubordination from the lesser races such as the Mali'ker and Mali'ame. Such has been attempted before."

The same robed figure, who had been watching his posted propaganda for those who would seek to debate it in their vincinity, would reply to the assumed Elf with deep-toned conviction:

"There has been no unity in nearly two centuries, and from the very beginning this has been caused by the High Elven schism. The lazy attempt at vassalizing the whole of the Elven race in the Fringe was amock with corruption and inner-racial hatred, and this all boiled over when the High Elves were removed in Phaedrus' uprising.

There was no meaning for any genocide thereafter, but there was also no meaning to recollect the Silver culture. Your dominion failed because you were the High Elf, not the one Elf; because you spit on your kin whom lingered behind your walls, and now from a plateau, where you cannot be touched."

The robed Mali seems equally displeased with the other speaker. "Was it folly when all Elves were one within old Aegis? My messages speak the better, but ignored truth; all must come down. The old ways must replace the new, for subraces and the culture they brought has created an expanding, destructive divide within this race."

[ToenailTickler 290]

Halser nods to himself"I like this idea."

[Moot 1719]

Kalameet raises a brow, not displaying any obvious course for his rebuttal.

 

"Cultural dilution, a truly unified Nation only serves to further strip us of our identity, oppress, or further displease each other. The ages of old can no longer exist for one simple reason: we're no longer a cultural unity, we're separate states, with separate beliefs, standards, traditions, and taboos.

Instead of trying to shoehorn our states into one mishmash, or mixing pot, perhaps it's time to formulate a government which our separate states can actually conduct affairs together, without worry of deluding each others beliefs. We will not live together, we will not be governed under one state- and we will always and forever function as separates.

 

It's time to stop begging and pleading for ages past, for time will not run in cycles like your deluded sense of coherence dictates. Progress will continue, until we're all nothing but dirt and composed; once we are all gone, then the cycle will take its course. Until that day comes, we are to ponder on our future, not wallow on the false tears a dead Father sheds."

Kalameet turns away with this, chortling lightly to himself as he departs.

Quickly as Kalameet would seek to escape rebuttal, the hooded one offers his brief word; laced with contempt and disappointment of the High Elves' fleeting nature:

"I speak of the subrace problem, and I have been speaking of the subrace problem solely the whole time; something you obviously did not catch. When you say complete unification is impossible, your kind sit in isolation, spite your natural brothers and ignore the crimes you committed in the past; you act as the barrier that will not conform. It is the High Elf that rejects unity, when the only problem the other Mali have is the inability to shed their culture that was built on unjust ruination of the unity that was once was."

He raises his voice to address further point:

"In the one Elven state of Malinor, unity was had and beliefs were shared, but there lied no focus on impurities and differences! The arrogance was all but null, for Malin's way was followed, and thus it brought success and a sense of pride within the one Elf; not the Dark Elf, the Wood Elf or the High Elf!"

[Moot 1719]

Kalameet sighs, turning slowly to face the cloaked elf, after listening lazily, he would begin with a drawl tone.

"Unlike the Mali'aheral, friend, I hold no cards in this race of yours- However take these words of advice: It was I who originally offered a unified government of three states, long ago with the bloodless sacking of Malinor, alas, the so-called stalwart sons and daughters of Malin refused any sense, ignored any justification one held. Yet you presume it is but one race which holds these stubborn beliefs... Nay, I believe you simply have your head stuck, either between your own, or the Chancellors groins. I'd suggest lifting your head for air, the lack of it has clearly left you disoriented to reality.

Before I depart, I'll offer you a swift history lesson- The Mali'aheral were not welcome in Malinor, the so-called utopia of 'all elves' that you seem to fancy so was not in fact so welcoming. Also, the Princess of Malinor was known to... get around. I'd suggest severing your connections if you value your sanctity..."

Kalameet nods promptly, offering a soft smile. He would then be gone.

[Swgrclan 2682]

"As all may see now, when confronted with the bitter truth, even one of Haelun'or's 'open-minded' subjects are baffled and resort to insults upon his kindred which are not even remotely relevant to the point he initially opposed.

I stood for Aegisian-Malinorian values, not what the shell of what it became within Anthos became. To acknowledge Old Malinor and the emerald memory of Laurelin as the true Elven home is to acknowledge Malin's chosen capital; the home for His descendants. I stand for no Chancellor, Lord or Sohaer; only Malin, the creator of all that is Elvenkind."

A short pause to take breath would ensue before the robed one would continue.

"I speak so highly of Aegisian-Malinor because it shared no splintered people; only one. Despite the fact that Wood Elf, Dark Elf and High Elf all resided within the same, singular state, they knew naught of the factitous nature of the humans because there was only one way to follow; Malin's way. In this time, High Elves were treated as equals; scholars and wisemen despite the defiance of Larihei and her cancerous growth of a 'purer people'."

[Baconthief 682]

Both faerie and bug-bitter lack any honor. Vile creatures who scheme and plot at every turn and corner, I shall never see them as my brother or sister. This is liberal nonsense born from the ignorance of High Prince Native, and all elves at the time, during the founding of malinor. Our relics and ruins show we've long been splintered, this unity is a new idea and is not natural, as evidence suggests. That which is not natural does not hold, as was shown in malinor and the recent state in which faerie brought all mali under its rule.

 

Elven unity will only come when a state fully respects elven differences, not declare all must adhere to an alleged singular-dogma that stood when only one elf-kind stood. Or if Malin himself returns to an empty elven throne.

Art once cared, and now he does not, and returns back into his workshop to make more tiny little wooden ballerinas.

"Reproductive doctrine... Mehf, leave it open. We started as a family, we will end as a family... Perhaps that would be the way to approach this seperation" would be some of the things uttered by Alirya as she reads a flier in The Rising Wood tavern

[Stag 3234]

Iat sits in the inn reading a copy of the message "Mmm yes. It is always the fault of the Mali'aheral it seems. What mongrels we must be." Iat shakes his head "No, we are happy as we are on our plateau and we care little for those who do nothing but whine below us. These words given to us hold a shallow value. I too witnessed the state of Malinor in its abhorant prime. I care not to return to such undisciplined times. The elves of Malinor were weak and only sought to pick on those smaller than them. Now that the Mali'aheral are no longer smaller those who fight for Malinor's ideals do nothing but plead for the Mali'aheral to succumb and be extinguished by putrid envy. I respect my kin, my cousins of dirt and grime and my wife and that is why I shall never allow the abomination that was Malinor to rise again. The mali'ker may have their pride and the Mali'ame their homes in the trees but never again shall we see a nation to hold all three cousins. I was naive to think it would work the first time and that almost caused the extinction of my family and friends." Iat heads off

[Nummy 413]

Ryder sits beneath a tree, a copy of the poster in her hands. "For years I've been mourning over the unity of my people.. but sadly the 'aheral are too stubborn to see the big picture. Should they lose those stone walls of theirs, and their city is turned to ash. Who can they turn to but their own kin? And will we accept them once more? I would with open arms, even though it would not be the same should we need their aid" she crumples up her copy of the poster, it turning to flame and then ash in her hands. 

"The time we once knew is gone, only a strong leader.. or a disaster can make it how it once was. I fear we need Malin to discipline his children.. to show them the right path once more." 

[Bircalin 332]

"My wife, disloyal you say? I defy you to back that claim up with some evidence, 'lest the world come to see a blessed Mali'aheral as a liar, Malin forbid." Bircalin retorts amusedly. "Of course that is if you speak of High Princess Indelwehn, which would be curious given as a Prince I certainly don't recall seeing your face along our paths."
