Now that one has learned of the two figures involved in this debacle, let us discuss the event itself. Should you not have read the previous volume, most of what shall be written will be nothing but a confusing morass of information. One suggests you perform the logical action, and return to the previous volume prior to reading this one.

 

Nelecar's afore-mentioned zest for banishment had been mostly tolerated by the council, aside from considerable opposition from Ellir'siol. However, one event sparked a final, fatal banishment. The husband of Ellir'siol, Talias, the second-in-command of the military under Nelecar, was exposed, along with other individuals (Whom shall not be identified, due to a number still living and present within the nation), as attempting to subvert, and remove Nelecar from his position via aggressive action. Upon learning of this, Nelecar immediately called for the banishment of all those involved. Ellir'siol, understandably, attempted to argue Nelecar out of doing so, but only managed to stall his pronouncement with the help of other council members. When the decision was made public, Ellir'siol showed her true colours.

 

In a move to directly parody the acts of Nelecar, she "banished" the entire population of the city, and majority of the citizenry followed her out of Haelun'or--those won over by her popular and public dislike of the Okarir'sil. Piling upon boats, they left the Emerald Isle to the town of Ceru--a cliffside village and quasi-colony that bordered the Kingdom of Renatus. Here, they settled for a time, and waited.

 

Here Ellir engaged in disgraceful, demagogic, rabble-rousing, and appealed to illogical emotional thinking to further solidify and justify her actions. This went on for many months, while Nelecar and his few loyal supporters remained within Haelun'or--slowly losing confidence in their actions.

 

After months had passed, and her ravenous support had died down, Ellir returned to the city--deeming her point had been made. However, it was noticeably absent of Nelecar. His supporters remained, and were thankfully not pursued by the "victors".

 

The prologue and effects of this event will be discussed in the final installment of this series.
