Only Ash Remains

The Beginning of the End

An open missive from His Majesty the King.

     In the beginning, the Ashen Folk were alone. For centuries we lived in Magara’lin, that ancient matriarchy that stood independent from Malin’s paranoia. We forged cities and kingdoms without the aid of the Elves, without their input, without their attempts to influence our kin into fulfilling their agendas. In the beginning, the Ashen Folk were a strong and independent race, but we have long forgotten our roots.

 

     After years of struggles, persecution, enslavement and subjugation, the Dark Elves have finally found their place, and that is in Renelia. We have formed a kingdom that has proven to be fruitful, one that has lifted the Ashen Folk into an era in which they are free to live, laugh and love without fear of being used as pawns in the games of others. Together we have brought Dark Elven kin into an era of rebirth; one in which art and culture prevail over the madness and indecency of heretics and foreigners, the age of the Ashen Folk. 

 

     The reality of Renelia is an age of prosperity and strength. We joined the Tripartite with the belief that bringing the Elven races together would only form stronger bonds and finally create an organization that would end hostilities between the Elven states, bringing in a new era of security among our kind. It has become very clear with the instability in the states to our north that our successes are limited to Renelia, and continuing within the Tripartite will only bring more harm to our kingdom and her peoples. The ten years given to the Tripartite have come and gone, and Renelia does not see a future in which she remains a part of this organization especially after the recent events. 

 

     In the end, just as in the beginning, Renelia must continue forging her own path towards a future in which all Elves are free from the struggles and ambitions of outsiders. No longer shall we be the subjects and playthings of other races, but the power that establishes peace and order in the world. We are a people of honor, of order and respect, we will finish what we started. The peace accord with the Humans and the non-aggression pact is not one that is acceptable to Renelia, we will honor the promises we made to our northern allies. We cannot let imperial ambitions prevail over the realms of Arcas or we risk falling into the habits of the craven leaders that have done the same to us. We will continue our fight alongside the AIS. In the end, Renelia will always have to fend for herself.

 

In the end only ash remains.

Leilatha is handed the missive by her daughter as she lies down within her bed in her clan home. She’d cough a bit, the old elfess haven gotten very sick. “May Renelia be the example to all” The Laurir’ker said to her daughter with a weak smile.

[HadvarAvMitteland 557]

Hadvar av Matteland reads the missive with a smirk on his face. Washing off the blood of the many Orenians he had killed in the battle prior, he chuckles to his party. "They said we were crumbling...They said we were losing the fight...today we proved that we are stronger than ever. Renalia, we approve of this message and we look forward to fighting alongside you. For honour!" Hadvar would announce before spreading the news to his closest friends who assisted him in the massacre only hours earlier.

The Governor of Krugland puts down his favorite dark elven reading material published in the 14^th century. He merely states to his orcish boyslave.

 

These dark elves... excite me.

[Phersades 1710]

Rhaella Ashwood would read over the missive, she smiled softly and gave a small laugh.. “Oh.. Goodness.” 

[Gemini 1737]

"You talk about peace, yet you betray us. You talk about honour, yet you betray us. It is a shame to see, you wish to follow the foot steps of Mali'fenn and throw away everything we so graciously offered."

The high elf frowned upon the missive

"Well, if you rather ally with the barbarians who wish us death, wish to enslave us... So be it."

[Seuss 1056]

Goan Aldin takes his time reading the missive. “Well, at least they are fighting for what they believe in.”

"Wait, whos betraying who?" The violently pink soldier questions, "It was less than a saints day ago that you were allied with the same people, theyre just staying allied whilst you chose to relax. Lets not point fingers."

Renellic Velulaei’onn, pacing the hallways of Magara’lin, nods upon hearing of the missive. Being a mute, they don’t muse to themselves. Not being an evil mind-reader, Renellic does not respond to comments, and being afraid of evil, foreign mind-readers quoting them and coming up with snippy comebacks, Renellic does not even think about the open letter.

[Elite Snipes 3563]

Targoth and Wargoth Korgahk’Gorkil the Honorable would read the letter smiling in happiness for his delf brothers “Lat mayd a nub host decizion....Lat maykin peace wif da azhes daht zeek to flat dah followers ub da Spirits. Mi gruk nub only iz lat doin da HONORABLE ash by standing bezide lats fellow spirit worsippas, but lat iz bringin Glori tu dah spirits, Tu Ehnrok, Tu Luara. FUR KRUG! ANG GIJAK ISHI!”
