Citizens of the Sohaerate of Haelunor, on this day a new chapter beings for our people. For a thousand years the Silver State has survived perils unimagined-- but it was because of those who stood together against the enemies who would divide us that had solidified its longevity against sycophants reeling down our progress as a people. In my almost thirty years of rule, in which I began as a mere boy, I mounted a position I knew little about. It was a dying state, one riddled by constant upheaval, no direction and little progress--Yet I had heart.The aristocracy of old had stayed my hand for many of my first years as leader. I was unrefined, and impressionable. I wished to learn of our ways as so many ‘aheral had not known our past, history or culture due to the period that preceded mine. I looked towards our past for the problem but would come to realize, the problem came from within.

 

The archaic ‘aheral and some within our own Council, had conspired to rule through the shadows. Spouting hatred and pointing fingers to the cause of our downfall but offering no solutions to our young minds or any guidance. They had hoped to grind our progress to a halt, if it did not fit their vision of antiquity. But the hypocrisy in their hearts could not be hidden in the darkness much longer. There came a day when the enemy showed their true intentions towards the state.

 

One by one, those people would unleash their malicious intent against the Silver State now turned Sohaerate by way of a series of assassination attempts and propaganda against the head of governance and usurping control for themselves. One after one, they fell to the might and mental fortitude of my body and mind. Justice bent in the direction for all the ‘aheral who had no voice and power-- for the High Elves who wanted change. The awesome hand of our Silver Council had quelled each assault against its charge and the faults of the past. All have failed yet and remain to do so as long as our unity remains.

Any opposition for true Progress and Health of the state will be crushed. We have gone through trying times, but ultimately have passed the tests. The many attempts on my life and slandering of my name have only strengthened my resolve. The last remnants of the old have been purged, the fight is nearing an end. The Silver State for once in its life has free room to breath and grow. The government has never been more certain of its direction under my rule. We stand at the precipice of new age, a new one thousand year cycle. By solidifying the agreeance of all in power, all led by one vision and the enlightened guidance of myself, the lethargy and corruption of the past will never take root again. A strong and unified High Elven people will ensure these ideals to survive.

 

Under the Sohaerates guidance, our most blessed beliefs and ways will not only be safeguarded but taught for generations to come. We will give no ground to the enemies of old and we will stand as one together against attacks from within or outside. Let the enemies of our enlightened vision take attention-- those who challenge the Haelunorian resolve will be heeled.

The task taken on by our government is difficult, but the people of pure mind of heart are prepared to take on its challenge. Because of the efforts of our council, we have traded lethargy with progress, words with action, and uncertainty with stability. We have secured the futures of many High Elven lives. More will realize this once they have listened and observed our ways. Haelunorian citizens must do their part for this great future. Join our Eternal college, to progress the knowledge of our people. Join our Sillumiran, and be the protectors of this dream. Be the eyes of the Sohaerate and enlighten astray ‘aheral. Travel far and wide, to spread the principles of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya to pure High Elven blood. Build memoriams and our knowledge that will catalouge our guidance for many generations to come.

 

A new order of Progress and Health has triumphed over the decadence of the past. The direction of our path has never been more clear. I will lead the Sohaerate to feats never imagined with the council at my back.

We have been trialed and passed our tests, but now we have all emerged as superior beings with an even greater mission. We move together as one people: The High Elves of the Silver Sohaerate of Haelun’or. We will give a future to those lost to the ways of purity. One thousand more years of Larihei's wisdom begins today.  Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya brothers and sisters...

 

MAEHR'SAE HIYLUN'EHYA

 

Signed by,

El'Sohaer of the Silver Sohaerate of Haelun’or, Cenwall Maeyr’onn of the Maeyr’onn Talonnii, Guided by Larihei's Grace in his Blessed Rule, Laurir of Mali’thill, Bastion of Purity, Sovereign of the High Elven People, Protector of Silver Law, Associate of the Celestial Order, Redeemer of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya, and Overseer of the Kharajyr state.

[Talias 177]

“Since when did the Mali’thill need to imitate the valah in stroking their own egos with their millions of meaningless titles, bastion of purity, redeemer of maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. Cenwall you are lucky you haven’t been named impure of mind yet, don't flatter yourself too much.” Athedil complained to himself as he enjoyed a cup of tea on his balcony.

[Ixli 1472]

“Does this not come from the acclaimed mali’thill who has banished myself, Ne’las, after my return to the land of silver since its foundation was formed by Larihei the Wise? Under the accusation that I am some mage named Varen’thal who, hypocritically, exposed the impure Medi’ir Arelion for being a dark mage? Yes, what a truly powerful and ‘awesome’ council.” states Ne’las aloud, annoyance present in his tone. “Also, as the apparent valah you are, only put official political titles.”

[Valarin_ 170]

"Perhaps if we looked past the title and focus on the article at hand, we could see the strength and purity of our Sohaer and his leadership. But alas, some are frightfully dull and can't see past one's appearance or the title with which they describe themselves," Vanya's musings are heard from her balcony, where she sits reading and working on her book. "What a dull race we must have become, to take something at face value."

[E__V__O 2000]

[!] A pinned letter would be posted upon the board just underneath the Sohaer. [!]

“What a day to imagine that the state of Silver has embarked fully on a mission towards the true Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya of Haelun'or. I do hope we can continue this triumph towards the goal the people have set in stone. All hope rests in the leadership and loyalty is something that we cannot sway. I for one ‘aheral pledge to follow this path towards a greater goal.”

A silver bird would fly and land on the desk in Cenwall's study, dropping off a message in elegant penmanship.

 

"It is time for Haelun'or to break the shackles of the past. Our righteous and just path can only bring the Sohaerate closer to achieving its rightful place in the world. Our people have risen to face every challenge thrown in their way. With loyalty and wisdom, the Mali'thill will continue walking the path of Larihei and forging onwards to a blessed future.

Klaus, a man of no renown, stares at the paper, "Really thinks highly of himself, it seems."

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