An open letter to whom it may concern,

 

For too long has the government of the Silver State remained indolent and oblivious to the ongoings around them. For too long have they abided by lethargy and the sycophantic ravings of incompetent bootlickers who have made for themselves a career of occupying our most sacred offices whilst not so much as lifting a finger towards the betterment of our people and our nation. For they are safe, assured in their rabid approval of the Sohaer, why would he remove them when they serve only to maintain the powerbase he has so tirelessly built for himself, yet now to rest upon his laurels and allow his underlings to do the same to the detriment of all those who would strive towards maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. We dutiful servants of Larihei have toiled towards a better future; one deserving of the legacy of our proud nation. And yet, when the poison of corruption seeped in through the cracks, their eyes and ears were closed to us. For all of our struggle, We taste nothing but the ash in our mouth, and no longer can We abide by the indolence and decadence what now shackles our leaders in idleness.

 

And by these grievances; what crimes have been committed against the progress of our people, We now know what path We must walk, for progress and health, and for the sanctity of age-old tradition. To this end, We have entreated with the noble Archon Rivann of the Ravexi, and through our correspondence have We ensured that there shall be a future for those who would reject the decadent future willed for us by the everlasting wisdom of the Sohaer and his bride. For our wasted efforts in the pursuit of justice, for years spent striving towards purity, what all We have struggled against a council so beholden to what they perceive the sweet lilt of their own voices, We have accomplished more in the span of hours in our discussions with Prince Deldrach. Thus, We now know what path We must walk. Thus do We endeavor to depart the Silver State - or rather, the rotting husk it has become, to stand by those who would champion the virtues of merit and wisdom over the sycophancy that has polluted our home. 

 

Despite all the ill will of those who sympathize with the malignant arts of dark mages, of those who prefer stagnation to progress, we wish only for the prosperity of the motherland. For We do not forget our roots, and never shall We consider abandoning who We are. We might only hope that one day, this haze shall be lifted from the minds of all those who endorse the rot that eats the nation from within, but until such a day comes to pass, We shall do what must be done in order to ensure a strong and stable environment for those who we represent and who foster the same ideals and beliefs that We share. Ay’larihei.

Leandra Laraethryn read over the letter with a nod of approval. “It is time for our people to progress as intended. The stagnation in Haelun’or is going to kill of our people. It is our duty as Mali’aheral to progress forward to insure our survival.” She packed up her books into the last box to move into the cart pulled by white horses.  “Let the new chapter of the Mali’aheral history begin.”

[Monomakhos 1849]

Valens Ith’ael smiles the Sun’s Smile, a successful contract negotiated with the sagely dark elves of Renelia. He returns to his people, preparing for their departure to strike gold in the foundation of a new land.

“Ah, yes. Don’t mind me, lliran--I am merely holding my tongue. I would not wish to speak ill of our precious ancient allies,” Ratalei mumbles to himself in the safety of his unfurnished room, still seething at the thought of the missive.

Kla’ren smirks as his father gives the order – the young ‘ker was already learning the ways of the Prince, following his steps with major pride “So the Kheltiruai will bring them home? Can I go with them?”

[Nectorist 12869]

“okay, this is epic” says aldred

[Sparkkzy 25]

Anya Alfakyn looks over the missive and nods. She sits up from behind the counter of her shop with a soft sigh. “The current direction of this state leads us from Larihei and progress. This state does not practice maehr’sae hiylun’ehya and is a shell of its former self. It is our duty as ‘thill to uphold progress to ensure we can thrive. Let this spell the start of a new chapter as it was intended to be.” Anya would start the process of packing her shop.

Ellan'drea Devione happened upon a loose missive on her way home to Renelia, a bright smile overtook her lips as she read over the parchment . El picked up the pace, nearly running to help prepare a place for the newcomers.

[Kaelan 1918]

High Prince Lyemar would hum softly in thought as he turned his gaze south towards the mountains that formed a natural border between the ‘Ame and the ‘Ker from atop his plateau.

 

“Interesting that our ‘Ker cousins would provide shelter to the Kha,” he says softly as his emerald gaze scanned the horizon. “If the ‘Thill could not tolerate them anymore than we could... I do doubt that our dark cousins will enjoy the task of sheltering them any more than we did.”

 

With that, the High Prince would pause before giving a shake of his head. “The ‘Ker play a dangerous game here. Perhaps the Father and Mother will reveal glimpses of what the path taken holds.”

[Kenzo74 755]

"What stagnates progress more than the turmoil set ablaze by power-hungry hypocritical fools, who, in their incompetence, spent their days only undermining order and bringing about chaos?" The soon-to-be sworn in Okarir'san rhetorically mused as he peered over the missive, shooting only a brief glance to his student and guard "Haelun'or will prevail like it has before and those so-called mali'aheral to whom the name of Larihei is not even familiar, those few whom, tempted by the promise of power joined up in this short-lived theatre, they will have done Elcihi a favour by rooting themselves out like the weeds they are."
