Hello there Citadelians,

This is elasul'san with the latest. Mark today on your calendar, oem'aheral, Taeleh Elibar'acal will face due process in the court of law. The suspect is to defend himself against multiple charges ranging from public thievery to fugitive activity. It is also suspected that Mister Elibar'acal is a gang member that his pledged his soul to deviancy. For shame.

You know, listeners. I've been kept up thinking about a simple concept over the past few days; Respect. It seems that in the zealot-like favor of rational thought, we have accidentally thrown away mindfulness. It is a social injustice to continue this course. We should seek not to aid for ourselves as mali'thill, but to aid other purebloods in their en devours. My image of a mali'thill is one that is gentle with his kin and respects their rights. Mali'thill should look to better those around them for the benefit of the whole society. The people should vivificate a culture of self-respectable elves should be now!

And now a word from our sponsors.

"It's election time and YOU need to get involved. Make sure you get your vote in for consideration or doom yourself to a sore loss. Go to your nearest ballot box right now!"

I leave you with some food for thought. Every citizen of the Citadel is provided for. Every one of you owe something to the citadel. Most of you owe all you have. Yet many of you have never given an hours thought or help for the improvement of that place which made you what you are. Why is this?

 

That's the word, folks. maehr'sae hiylun'ehya.

"Indeed the controversy of respect has been an issue of late. Respect is deserved for those who earn it, not those who demand it. It is almost comedic in value your wishful thinking of peace while there is so much obvious bloodshed of our very own people right within our city walls." Riondil would say.

Kelthran idly watched as the poster above him attempted to converse with a speaker system. He raised his brows, then lowered them and raised them again.

"Ur dum."

And like that, he walked off.

Riondil would turn to the speaker after saying the above to no one in particular "Did you say something of note, or is there an Orc about?" he'd quickly look around in mock fear before laughing at the naive man.

Characteristics of a Pureblood Mali’aheral:

 

In this 1524 two-part edition of elasul’san, we explore just what makes one a shining example among our people. We should start out with the defining characteristics of physical purity.

Skin should range in pale tones from radiant white to a slight tanned complexion from their usual pale shade. This seems simple enough. Most mali’aheral we see match this definition which delights members of the pure-thought movement apparently.

Hair. Ah yes, the stylistic representation of our fashion sense. Although one may alter their hair to any shape (even if it looks terrible), they shouldn’t be colouring their hair with dye. Their hair should remain natural shades ranging from white to blonde. In some circles the featheriest of browns and suspectful ginger hair is also smiled upon. Although we don’t agree with the latter two, the people do and so does the law.

Eyes. The windows of the soul some say. Rarely do we see anyone stray out of the norm of greens and blues, but on occasion you see the tell-tale Izalith grey or Ith’ael purple. There’s not much more to say on this matter. We all know that deviance from the above is impure.

Finally we investigate if clothing and fashion really does have an outward display of physical purity. We believe it does. An impure brain is technically impure mentally and physically. As such you can tell the brain condition of a mali’aheral by inspecting their clothing. Do they wear piercings or racey clothing? If the answer is yes, they’re a flawed specimen.

A mali’aheral should be prim and proper with the utmost respect of having manners. Their robes should be well kept and symbols of their ideals. When dealing with inferiors, a mali’aheral wears gloves as not to risk catching a foreign disease.

We believe you caught what we were saying in the intercom the other day. About respect. This may have been misconstrued as diehard respecting for others, but in truth it was directed at yourself. Self-respect is the first step to loving yourself. No-no, we don’t mean literally making love with yourself, but having a fondness for the preservation of your life. If one loves yourself, you can get so much more done for progression. Loving yourself gives you a drive to do more, to be better. This self-love will radiate like your beautiful hair and spread to others. Respect is about respecting yourself which will lead to respecting others that respect themselves.

Would it be so wrong to treat your fellow citizens with everyday kindness? It takes shape in simple forms. A “karin’ayla” in the streets or a helping hand when one carries more than their weight. We believe that one should pay forward kindness. If one does good for you, do good for another.

The above look at the pureblood mali’aheral is an opinion piece by those here at the elasul’san newsletter company. We believe it to be accurate to the public opinion.
