The Haelun’or Schism, Volume I

The history of Asulon is known to be rich with wars, political usurpations, monstrous drakes, and the rise and fall of nations. However, one history that eludes most modern, non-mali'aheral scholars is the secret history of the elhaelun'or, and its many trials and tribulations. One such excerpt (to take from a vast swathe) is the Haelun'or Schizm--a short, and unusual, period of instability and disunity in the motherland. In this three volume series, one will discuss the turbulent period for the benefit of future citizens.

 

The ehaelun'or of Asulon was, in this period, ruled by the echillan'thilln--the Silver Council. Much like its Malinorian contemporary, members were chosen by those whom were deemed worthy by the current council members--the okariran. Two of these counsellors would begin a chain of events eventually causing the one, and only, demagogic political usurpation in mali'aheral history. Their names were Ellir'siol, the Okarir'layun (Master of beauty), and Nelecar, the Okarir'sil (Master of the Sword).

 

From the very inception of the two working together, friction between their personalities was evident. Nelecar was a soldier with a great, and admirable, dedication to the purity of his kin. His efficient, though admittedly extreme, methods of protection allowed for a distinctly effective military force that has yet to be seen again within the walls of the mali'aheral. Ellir'siol was an artist, and an architect. Her mesmerising design of the Haelun’or residential district was one of the finest examples of classical, revivalist mali'aheral architecture available, and is still emulated to this day.Touting overtures of peace, wisdom, and forethought, she strove only for what can be perceived as "the greater good" in regards to the motherland.

 

Despite their own good intentions, there were many obvious faults in their actions throughout their years in the service of the cihi'thilln. Nelecar was not a forgiving mali. When a single, minor wrong was committed, he would often act harshly towards the perpetrator. One such case involved an insolent mali'aheral who refused the Okarir’s demands, and was summarily locked in a cell for nearly a month as punishment. His liberal use of banishment to punish wrongdoers was also a harshly debated affair, and was the main issue of the coming schism. Ellir'siol, however, was by contrast far too forgiving of wrongdoers. She often pressed for impure mali'aheral to be re-integrated to society, and those whose ideals were not congruent with Larihei's vision were protected by her delicate, and clever political machinations. Retrospectively, conflict should have been predicted.

 

This is but a tale of two mali’aheral incapable of compromise, and such shall be shown in the second volume.
