A challenge to Okarir'maehr

[Nate1450 111]

[!] Ralnor Kelyarus gives a speech in the main square of Haelun'or, speaking to anyone who would listen.

 

"Citizens of Haelun'or, I, Ralnor Kelyarus hereby challenge Okarir'maehr Icarus Adil for his position on the Silver Council. His recent disappearance, along with his stagnant work in the Library has rendered his position on the Council useless. As Tilruir'maehr, I feel as if it is my duty to relieve him of this position, to serve the citizens of Haelun'or, and to promote and follow maehr'sae hiylun'ehya. If I were to ascend to this position, I would reconstruct and reopen the laboratories underneath the library, restock the library of books to allow our citizens to pursue knowledge, actively scribe all of the council meetings to have on record, and create a Council of Scholars to allow fellow intellectuals to meet and discuss current events, as well as other things. 

 

In conclusion, I believe that Icarus Adil should be removed from the council due to his ineffective leadership and disappearance, with myself assuming his position with the promise to aid the citizens, and to promote and follow maehr'sae hiylun'ehya.

 

[!] Flyers of the speech would be posted all around Haelun'or, and given to the Silver Council.

"I support you," says the irrelevant High Elf named Cahir.

"Ralnor, you have proven yourself useful over the the last elven weeks. Eventhough you may lack experience, I have no doubt that you will grow to fill the task of Okarir'maehr. I wish you the best, and hope that you will stay true to Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya."

[!] And so the challenge rang through the city, and somewhere within the heights of his tower, a lone high elf listened. Slowly, he raised himself from his paper-strewn isolation, sighing at his own inadequacy. And so he made his way down to the square as he always had, for what would be the last time in a long while.

 

"Citizens of Haelun'or, I come to answer the challenge levied against me by Tilruir'maehr Ralnor Kelyarus. He is my longest serving Tilruir, and with certainty my most valuable, willing to do what is necessary in order to serve the Eternal Library and Silver State. Yet before I reach my conclusion, I briefly wish to speak my piece.

 

I am sorry to those of Haelun'or who I have failed. I entered into my position with goals in mind and worked diligently to achieve them. For quite some time, I believe I was truly a model Okarir'maehr. Yet as time went on, this very clearly changed.

 

I was first roped in to deal with matters of the Arbiters, the Vigil, and then the coup, the war, and finally the diplomacy that followed, stolen from my books and papers for politics I would sooner avoid. It wasn't a choice for me, but instead a necessity, as I truly believe Haelun'or would be worse were it not for my efforts. But it was in that moment that the joy of performing my duty died away, snubbed out by the politics of this land.

 

Through my failure, I hope that some will learn from me. We must not concern ourselves with the violent endeavors of this land, just as we must wholly reject those who would bring their violence within our walls. Politics and violence are the poison that citizens and leaders, even if they live past their hardships."

 

The elf sighs, shaking his head, stuffing his hands into the pocket of his coat. For the first time in a long time, he put on no airs. He was haggard and weary, ready to depart once more.

 

"I hope we might speak soon about how I can help you, Mister Ralnor, for I concede to your challenge. Congratulations, Okarir'maehr."

 

And with that, the high elf returned to his tower alone.

The Gatekeeper just scanned his ethereal gaze over the city, looking for any trouble.

 

"This is going to be interesting."

 

The graven grumbled, rising his longsword and hseating it at his back, off to patrol the city again.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.
