A formal resignation

[__WaterFox__ 636]

“    I have suffered no greater abuse than I have today at the hands of the snow elven people while trying to grieve for my daughter. I try to say that it was entirely possible her death had more to do with someone’s quarrel against me than some odd conspiracy to ruin a frozen city in a barren land, but am told that I may as well have been the one to slit her throat and torn out her heart for the simple fact that I live in the empire. I heard  things like this screamed around me while I wanted nothing more than peace and silence to grieve the brutal murder of my daughter.

       Unfortunately some of the things they kept screaming at me were true and I must address it. It is true that after years of healing citizens, soldiers, and nobility that I am still questioned, threatened, and spat upon by sheer virtue of my race and I am completely exhausted of it. I will not be withdrawing my services from the Empire as I still believe in making a culture centered around healing, but I will no longer accept being sneered at by the town drunk while I work hard to warm up the limbs of a child thrown into a freezing river. I will no longer offer my service to anyone who threatens to cut off my ears or the ears of any other elf, anyone who questions my integrity or skill because of my race, and I absolutely refuse to serve anyone who cannot even manage the most basic of manners after realizing I am an elf.

       Even with my treatment by humans and my frustration, they still cannot even match the level of disrespect and vitriol I was shown by the snow elves. No longer will I afford a measure of my mind for a so called race who would rather spew propaganda and harass a grieving a mother rather than find the killer of one of their kin, no longer will I lift a finger for a race who would declare me their enemy when I have done less harm to their kin than the vast majority of their officials, and now I formally resign as a snow elf since apparently being a snow elf means I must lick a Tundrak’s boot or be treated even worse than I have  been by the most racist of humans.

 

P.S For those whom it may concern, I want to be alone. You may send a letter to could temple if you want to contact me, but until I find that I am once again in a suitable mind to operate I encourage you to contact Iros Windsor or Nepir Wolfguard isntead. Snow elves wishing to point out how humans have committed genocide against their race in the past, which is obviously quite a ways worse than the racial slurs I experience now, please remember to submit your age, the date of the last snow elven genocide, and the average life span of a human.

“Her death was no fault of your own--but rather that of another whom I have yet to name... Marlari’onn Celae’s frozen tears suggested an emotional event leading up to her death, so I surmise that her murderer was someone once close to her.”

“It is not because you live in the empire that you are scorned as a traitor, but because you would heal those who despise and would commit more genocide against us. Your ideals of creating a healing community are admirable, but by healing the wounded soldiers who raid the snow elven capital, you assist them in one day returning to attack us once more.”

“Their loss of respect for you, and their vitriol is not aimed without reason. As said previously, your actions are admirable as a healer, but they have had direct negative outcomes against our people. I am neither old nor wise enough to understand the true connotations surrounding your exile, but no action is taken without prior causation to make such circumstances.... The times have been rough for us all whom were touched by Marlari’onn Celaena’s grace and duty, so take solace in the fact that I will personally see to it that she is buried with care and dignity.”

“Do you think Celaena would be proud of anyone screaming all those awful things at me while I wept over her body, a woman she called haelun and took solace in? You admitted it was someone perhaps close to Celaena, and I have guesses for who, so why would you scream and shriek at me as if I am responsible for her death? There was no reason to harass a woman grieving for her child that way, humans offered more sympathy and for that you should be ashamed. If for some reason you would actually like to speak with me and find reason of your own to despise me then I will be found around the Cloud Temple – Z”

“I do not think Celaena would be proud of anything those around me do, much less notions of revenge in “tenfold” or so on... You misunderstand my missive, as I am not here to ostracize or criticize you. I retaliated against your attempts to see her body because you made no prior attempt to contact the Sylric bloodline--and while you may think that it is unnecessary as her mother-figure, I am her blood and as kin I must defend her memory and her remains. I was excluded from the mob against your presence in the city, but you can decide for yourself if you will despise me. I am waiting in the Cloud Temple if you so choose to break bread there.”

"How do you resign from being a race?" Asks an elf, before looking to Sporadic up in the sky. He then understands.

Jarsek Myrsta would read the missive and dispatch a letter off to Cloud Temple to the snow elf specifically. He’d make sure it was a trained white owl that would avoid being shot down by anyone hoping to intercept his message.

Meanwhile Zata wonders if people know what symbolic actions are

[Skyrunner 257]

Utaria Helenson-Anarion if able to read this somewhere squinting and thinking for a moment before saying “Ya know, we are really a lot more similar then we are different.” She stops before saying again “That was really cliche... Why am I talking t’ myself?”

“Since when was resigning from a race an option? Can I resign from being all races? Am I able to biologically alter myself to become something not stupid?” Steven pondered aloud.
