Dear citizenry, 

 

As expected my challenge for the seat of Okarir’nor has raised many questions among the Blessed Citizenry. 

Questions about my loyalties, questions about my competence, questions about my purity. 

 

With this speech, I am hoping to answer all your questions and straighten certain beliefs about me. 

 

You served the Elervathar Diarchy, how dare you turn a blind-eye to their tyranny?

 

Ti, I did serve the Diarchy; however this was never in an Okarir position. I do admit to holding a lot of power regardless of my positions, but it was not enough. I was constantly questioned by the serving heial’thilln due to misconduct. This was simply for questioning the methods of the Diarchy.

I was removed from public assemblies due to raising my voice against the Diarchy, I was threatened with acid for standing against them and speaking on behalf of the Sillumiran. 

 

Like you say, it was a tyranny. I was afraid for my life. 

Do not cast doubt upon that of what I am nor whom I serve, my purity is unquestionable and my loyalties have and will always be to the Motherland. 

 

I can not undo my time within the era of the Elervathar Diarchy and the previous leaders, however I can work to ensure it shall never be repeated. 

 

You are simply not qualified enough!

 

During the period of me holding the seat of Okarir’mali, we introduced many systems as soon as possible. I do admit that they were not perfect as they were supposed to be perfected as time went on, however I was removed from said seat before I had the time to perfect them. 

 

When it comes to the skygod minaan collected through the Common Maehr’sae Fund, it was lot more than what certain Mali claim. This money was never held by me, but the former Sohaer, Alaion Miravaris. Participating in this fund was voluntary, no one had to if they so choose and no one was held accountable for doing so. 

The money from the fund was used for State resources acquired from lesser nations and other administrative tasks that came along when dealing with lessers. It worked and the Mali liked it. 

 

I was one of the most competent Okarir’mali the state had ever seen and many citizens claimed this. I had a very competent team and I worked tirelessly to ensure the communication between my office and the citizens. Our citizenry archives were updated, citizen door locks changed, lesser district introduced, the housing of more ‘Thill than ever and much more. 

Unfortunately, I am prone to mistakes and sometimes make decisions that could’ve been better; but this is the first part of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya. Wisdom. We learn from the mistakes we do, not to repeat them. 

 

You support the diarchist system?

 

Ti, I do. However, I did not and will not support those wishing to harm the Motherland or Her citizens. 

The Diarchist system has always worked better when it comes to leading the Mali’thill.

Democracy gives room for incompetent Mali to rise to a seat of power, given they have enough supporters.

 

The system of decision based Okariran ensured that only those of utmost quality took the seat. However, this did not work within the era of Acaele Lazul and the two Sohaeran, Sulraell Visaj and Alaion Miravaris. 

The council was corrupt and I knew it, I warned the about this, but I was not believed in. 

 

We have a system put in place by Maheral Ikur and I shall offer it my utmost respect. I am not here to unstabilize the affairs, but to serve my nation as I always have. 

 

Regardless of disliking the current system, I pledge my loyalty to Maheral Ikur Sullas, the epitome of purity. 

 

You are not pure. 

 

If there is anyone questioning my purity, physical or mental, I invite you to call upon a trial, a debate or even the slightest of evidence to your claims. If you claim others being more pure than I, I ask you to provide me proof. 

I have a husband, Delos Telperion whom I share three children with. 

I have written many books to the Eternal Library, I have served the state over two centuries. I am an Uradir. 

 

Mentioning my family I base on the culture we Uradir have, on the regard we hold purity. 

 

You signed the document by Sohaer Sulraell Visaj to undermine the authority of the Maheral Azorella?

 

Ti, I did and I shall always carry the stain of that until and I join one with Larihei. 

 

Sulraell Visaj is the son of Elrion Visaj, he whom calls me Haelun, thus making Sulraell Visaj my grand-child, though not by blood. 

My trust for those I call family is very high and it was abused by the Sohaer, tricking me into signing something I would never support. 

I should have checked the document well enough, but this was something I did not do and I apologize. 

 

My views are as following; No one is above the Maheral as he is the epitome of purity. The embodiment of Larihei in flesh. No Sohaer and no Okarir may undermine the authority of the Maheral,  for the Maheral simply is. 

 

What will you do as Okarir’nor?

 

Slowly but steadily I wish to start working on making an office that will serve the state to the best of its capabilities. 

This means putting up a team of competent Mali, helping me to achieve my goals. 

 

Firstly I want to ease up the burden of the ever so competent Okarir’hiylun, Laurir Dele Seregon and to begin working on the Merchant District once more, to get that up and running within. 

Secondly, it is within my wishes to start mending our relations with the lesser nations when it comes to trading and the markets. I want to open a working flow of goods between us and the lessers. 

Thirdly, I want to achieve certain goals I have for resources. This means counting inventory and setting the goals to the maximum that can be achieved. 

 

These are one of the many things I hope to achieve and maintain during my tenure as Okarir’nor. I am open to ideas, so please bring them forth. 

 

You are just a loud, immature Mali hungry for power. 

 

Loud I am but lacking lust for power. I served the state as a farmer far longer than I did as an Okarir and I am far more than happy to continue. I do not need power to help my nation go forward, I do not need titles to help my nation go forward. 

I have been trusted to work in many positions of power; I never asked for them. 

 

Give me the tools and I am happy to return to the farms. 

 

I do admit to being loud and occasionally using my Okarir title but that was required in order to maintain order. During my tenure as an Okarir it was called insubordination. I hated doing that, but occasionally it was required. Perhaps a mistake from my end, rather than being afraid I want the citizens to be comfortable around me.

 

I raise my voice when I don’t agree with something. I will not apologize for it as it is within the rights of every ‘thill to raise and defend their opinions. 

 

Lastly I want to say, if it is immature to defend oneself and explain their opinions, I suppose I indeed am immature. 

 

You abandoned the Motherland in Her time of need 

 

I did. 

However I ensured a smooth transition to the new Okarir taking my place, the access to archives et cetera. 

I worked tirelessly with my team and I suffered from insomnia and was tired most of the time. I deserved a break and decided to take it. 

 

I left the walls to meet my husband and to study things I’ve heard of but the Eternal Library had no books of. Things that interest me and will benefit the citizens as I get to write the books about my discoveries. 

 

After a while, I returned and decided I have rested enough. It is my time to once more serve my Bastion. 

 

I urge all citizens to raise their concerns with me and my nomination. I hope this and my future endeavors shall clear the foggy air around me. 

It would be within my highest honors to represent our Blessed Bastion as Her Okarir’nor.

Signed,

Nuala Uradir, a citizen

 

Spoiler

[!] The Uradir walked into the square, filled with Mali from all around the city. She cleared her throat and began her speech. As Nuala Uradir finished her speech, she ended it with looking at the citizens with a smile, inviting them to join the conversation and ask her many questions. After her speech, a copy was pinned onto the notice board for those unable to attend the speech.

 

[KronugiN 137]

Mr. Leverys sluggishly approached the notice board while shielding his eyes from the accursed sun. He blinks wearily at the memo, the sheer amount of text overwhelming him in an instant. Elmali rubs his eyes and makes another attempt at reading through the essay, fishing out the seemingly important stuff and ignoring the filler. Finally, he focuses on the name.

”Nuala...” he mutters, “Uradir? Wasn’t she the one to bully poor Nessarose for baring her shoulders?” Khaeryr grunts, letting his gaze drift upwards a bit “Eh? It’s about Okarir’nor, not Okarir’maehr?”

He snorts, wincing at the sharp pain stinging him into his temple “Ugh, who cares...”
