An essay is posted among other notices in the elven lands, printed in a neat script and signed by a familiar name.

 

Huffing Silver

 

Gone have I been from the halls of my kin, travelling distant lands in search of knowledge. However, even in those far off places I wandered, word came to me of Malinor reborn, Malinor triumphant. This news confused me greatly, for I remember having buried it in the unforgiving earth of a dying realm. It is sobering to consider that Malinor has been dead for longer than it was alive, and that the mali have continued on, in success and in failure, without the Princedom, for some four elven years. 

 

For those of you who might understandably not be familiar with who I am, I am Ebs Telrunya, and I have held many titles and roles over my centuries among the Descendants, the greatest of which was Prince of Malinor. Twice I was called into the ranks of the High Council to serve our people, and I did so out of ambition for my nation and, in some part, for myself. Malinor was a place where an unknown mali could make a good, decent life if they so chose, and both improve themselves and their nation through their citizenship. There was discord, there was tragedy, but we cherished each other and lived our lives as best we could, ‘ame, ‘aheral and ‘ker, united if not by cultural tradition and cosmetic differences than by a great heritage and kinship.

 

It is said that the mali’thill have no great appreciation for humor; certainly a pile of evidence has been accumulating in recent weeks. It was perhaps not as surprising as it might have been that upon my return to Arcas, I discovered that this New Malinor was merely a fraud perpetrated by the Demented State of Haelun’or and it’s Imperial paramour. To be quite frank I have no great quarrel with this new High Prince, he will likely not last long, as is the custom among the thill. I merely wish that he and his handful of acquaintances that comprise this New Malinor had chosen a more appropriate foil; perhaps that of their savior, Kalenz’Uradir, who once brought their comrades the Empire down on all our heads by brutally murdering the reigning monarch of Oren. They, however, can be forgiven for neglecting their history lessons; the Eternal Library’s shelves have been bare for some time, reflecting perhaps some deeper reality of the Silver State. 

 

From a certain perspective, things do seem quite grim my cousins. Beset by terrifying forces directed by a malicious hand, the Empire poised to wipe us out to distract its populace from its burgeoning internal issues. What has happened before will happen again. However, perhaps I qualify as an authority on matters of time: this too shall pass, our enemies will shrivel and die among the sands of time, and the mali will rise again, if not in triumph, then at least in dignity. Shelter each other and remember Malin, our father.

“Oh, okay."

[jdesarno 381]

Thorvn couldn’t help but to uncontrollably laugh throughout the whole paper. 

 

Also- soon wondered how all of these documents come into public eye. . oh well, skygods are a fickle creature. .

Ellir reads over the notice all the way down to the signature.

 

“Who?”

[Ankan 2875]

As the essay made its way to the silver stronghold of Haelun’or, a response was swiftly authored and spread with the original paper.

 

As of recent, I have much too often had to explain the nature and intention of the Mali’aheral missives and declarations. The mere necessity for a clarification is evidence for the present Elves’ cultural malnourishment and general ignorance. Fetch some fresh air, and perhaps you will manage to escape the delusion. Your kin continue to embarrass yourselves by putting such confused analysis on display.

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