INTRODUCTION

 

We have witnessed cycles of apathy and impurity plague our blessed capital since the golden pools of yore. Esteemed scholars of Haelun’or have concluded that entrenched liberal regimes provided the key foundation for this virulent affliction to persist. One need only look to the Shriveling Republics of Atlas and Almaris to see this epitome of decline, for they bred only stagnation and passivity. 

 

Since the rise of a new government, there have been countless appeals for reform from all corners of society. In response to these cries, the Silver State has seen it fit to safeguard the will of Larihei through a new rule of law. A system designed to ensure progress and health for both the current blessed citizenry and future generations.

[Iverach 826]

A cool breeze rolls through Haelun'or.

[Cepheid 4304]

Valyris glanced down at the newly minted constitution that made her way to her desk, a subtle smile crossed her features. “Progress is emanate.”

[Caelria 2619]

"My beautiful constitution... full of complete sentences, clauses, and terms all working beautifully and interchangeably together -- hacked apart with a butcher's cleaver. And for no reason but to loosely resemble the constitution of the diarchy, with mistranslations and lack of definitions abound. They didn't even credit me! I weep. At least they passed it." Othelu whined from his office.

[FlemishSupremacy 6115]

Elathion frowns deeply as the Sohaer abolishes all that he worked to achieve.

[Ixli 1472]

Theris Elibar’acal raises a cup of tea in toast, his overly-joyful personality lacing his features. “Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya. You are doing wonderfully, Arelyn.”

[thiccpazuzu 542]

"These baboons really did just kill democracy..." the elf would remark with a fleeting sorrow in his tone as he sipped some tea in his comfortable Haeseni home.

[Samler 1566]

2 minutes ago, thiccpazuzu said:

Seth would shake his head as he shared tea with Maenor. "They should at least had renamed Okarir'tir to Okarir'sil, truely baboons not understanding our ancient tongue." The elf, seemingly much more casual about this, for he knew, Haelun'or died centuries ago.

[Mai 72]

The purple eyed Estelle glanced over the constitution in wonder

"One day I will understand all of this, I just hope I can get a home!"

[Malaise 1570]

Kiljarys salutes his Sohaer as the new constitution is ratified. In leaving the council chambers, he commanded the applause of numerous Sillumiran, each more eager than the last to experience true progress!

[Mai 72]

The ghost of Talia would gaze upon the new constitution 

"So it be then . . ."

[TheNunnery 1853]

“The place I called home first had an Impure Maheral and now is corrupted and filled with all of these impure idiots. Haelunor is no longer a republic. But a tyrannical monarchy controlled by mali’ata” Alyssa Seregon commented bitterly as she read into her studies about the void and other related topics with a warm cup of tea inside of her warm house within Haense. Then the Mali'aheral pulled out a small bag with gold and mailed it to the government of Haelunor, without any signature and such, fully anonymous. Commenting to herself as she did so, “May they enjoy the greed they gain by destroying my home with their lies.”

[Ryloth 4321]

A ghostly emptiness plagued the titanic streets of silver at each visit from the disappointed Kharajyr. He sought for the state to seek introspection, but knew not for how. "It is a shame that Haelun'or does not see its own mistakes as of late," He peers over the Constitution of borderline-Diarchism posted on the notice board amidst his visit, "Why did they fight for a Republic at all, if only to return to what failed in the first place?" Offering a glance to the cluttered, messy library and the dark temple without its flame, Haskir ventured out in search of those 'thill that had abandoned their bastion for another. Bleak this so-called 'progress', but at least the banners had not ran red.

[Guest]

Kairn Calithil paused and appeared disturb from his fabled Keep of Camlannen amidst the Gnarled Woods of the Holy Orenian Empire. 

 

"Monarchy is a dangerous path to go down. One of megalomania; one of stress, and one individual bearing the crux of society's ills. With time perhaps they shall return to the Republican ways that have governed the Elves far better than any Maruthir. Until then, I've no doubt many elves will have their own anxieties about this news."

Aymon Liawenys would smile slightly at the two and take a cup of his own "Ti. I am just glad we are safe." he says whilst casually sipping some himself.
