List of Elven Grievances

[Treshure 5818]

 

 

 

 

The Imperial body is one that has repeatedly interfered with Elvenkind in manipulative and malevolent nature. Spanning from the Sack of Malinor, Human monarchs have sought to involve within Elven affairs, burgeoning conflicts and asserting dominance over the race by that rite. Our grievances span centuries of monarchs, regimes, empires, and nations. Only one variable has been constant. With them, the Mali’aheral (despite their self-proclaimed hatred of violence) have frequently abetted war as their most common interaction with Elvenkind. Let the ledger be laid bare for all to witness.

 

• Sack of Malinor by Imperial and White Rose forces in Anthos.
• General persecution and mass murder of Elves committed under Horen V’s reign in Anthos.
• Imperial backed high elven regime subjugated mali’ame and mali’ker into apartheid slums – banned from practicing their own culture, intermarriage punishable by death, the Fringe.
• Fenn is sacked by the Third Orenian Empire in the Fringe.
• Several coups are initiated against Leyulin by Haelun’or during Athera.
• Oren funds and supplies troops to the sack of Leyulin under the high elven regime during Athera.
• Human planted elven leader Tristin Tresery takes power for many years during Athera.

 

• Haelun'or militarizes under 'The Vigil', begins raiding innocent civilians and inciting violence in Vailor.
• Haelun'or rebels against the Dominion in Vailor.
• The Dominion remains an appendage to the now revived Empire in Axios.
• Repeated Fenn persecution occurs throughout the years in Axios.
• Threat of war against the Dominion as scapegoat and fear of elven consolidation in Atlas.
• Crusade declared against Dominion in Atlas.
• Imperial raids against Elvenesse due to alliance of disparate elven states in Arcas.

 

Let there be no mistake by this ledger. We are not aggressors. We are persecuted not for our actions towards others. We are not used by the Imperial host out of mutual friendship. It is a parasitic attachment to rend our sovereignty, our power, and our use apart. The Imperial mind has implanted itself in Elven politics for centuries, issuing violence whenever the wayward elven states wandered too close in friendship. In peace, they nurture Elvenkind so that they may grow dependent and weak. In war, they align and position elven states against one another in an effort to maintain a fractured race. There is one thing the Empire fears most:  a united Elvenkind. 

 

I will shed my prejudices towards my elven brothers. I will band with their blood as we did under Malin’s umbra. Our world is a soup of chaos, one only remedied by the unions we bring together. In light of this Imperial incursion, one thing is certain in my mind. I will never be a slave again.

Dimaethor Visaj sipped on some generic Haelunorian wine, discussing the vintage with his good company. In a brief pause between bottles – for the shortest of moments – his thoughts and prayers went to the offended lesser elves.

Quote

Her efforts would pay off. And within decades, few could match the arcane prowess of her and her supporters. Their innovations brought new modern changes to the elven lifestyle. Enchanted appliances enhanced daily life, translocation made transportation that much easier, and even things as simple as a voidal fireworks show delighted children.

 

Yet, it made many uneasy.

 

The forefather himself was among the concerned. The ability to channel power from another realm of existence was sure to have long-term, unproven effects. As such, he placed an official order down for Larihei and her followers to cease and desist.

 

She refused.

 

Larihei had served for centuries under Malin and his Kingdom. She had asked for no praise, nor reward. In return, her counsel had been ignored and her progress had been stifled. Disobeying the orders of her king, she continued, changing only to lead her people deep into caverns beneath the earth to continue their studies.

 

Delos Telperion reads through the history of the High Elves. Finally, he found it – the FIRST AGGRESSION.

 

“Truly, the dirt elves are the most aggressive set of Elves to ever exist.”

”Yet you offer a motivating list of countless instances where you Elfen had been enslaved,” mused an old Waldenian knight to himself, remembering the days these Ithelanens fought on the side of justice instead of being Fennic puppets. “What gives you the belief that facing Imperial might will turn out differently this time?”

“Not an impossible task,” mused the elf back through mutual telepathy, pulling an old document over across his desk.

“Considering the Imperials crawled out of battle in defeat four times a few days prior, I personally do strongly believe it will turn out differently," Cyrene says to a fellow elf of hers in the discussion of their victories.

“The fact that this new wave of Imperialism is rife with retardation and incompetency.”

[Maury 411]

“The onlookers should not forget the genocides of yore on the Snow Elves.” a snow elf muses, taking a draft from a hearty Dwarven spirit and carrying on his merry way.

[Chimp 528]

Almisael scratches his chin at the passage regarding the empire fearing a united elven kind, he remembers when Aurelius helped the dominion squander it’s rivals and made them stronger. He then questions whether he was dreaming the whole time or not.

The future High Princess of Malinor laughs

[Enlightenment 2300]

Demetrio simply chuckles to himself, saying as he sipped on his wine, “It’s-a just business, si.”

[_Elrith_ 4525]

"It seems these Elves have forgotten all the times they had aided their Masters." He muses, whilst trudging through swamp water. Thinking of the times that Gladewynn and The Dominion and undermined the High Elves during early Atlas and had used their forces to conquer other countries. Then his mind drifts back to Axios, when The Dominion had aided both the Orenian Empire, Renatus, Marna, and its forebearer Renatus-Marna. "It is unfortunate that they are so blind to their own incompetence. Nonetheless, neither the Empire or these Elves are deserving of aid, for they are both blemishes on the realm. I say let them all burn."
