The Auspicious Progress - Emancipation of Elysium

[Suicidium 1295]

Harmony with nature, balanced as one. 

Crops to harvest, work to be done.

Green green fields, fresh mountain air. 

Home cooked meals, elder care. 

Peace and happiness, no despair...

 

A world of something special, something rare, something nothing can compare.

 

An open letter to the Esteemed Members of the King’s Council of Norland & Indomitable People of Norland:

It has been an illustrious four decades with the Kingdom of Norland, with the community of Elysium persisting to be a flourishing vassal community with distinctive ethos and pathos with many lifelong friendships formed between the people in the wider Norland community.
 

It is with a heavy heart that we, your loyal vassal and breadbasket of the North, must depart Norland and seek refuge in pastures new.
 

We have served Norlandic Kings Halvar, Sven, and Vane with much pride. The Rangers, our  arm of the Northguard, have served dutifully during the Orenian war, and though we love the hearty hospitality the North has provided us, our unconventional customs, our growing “melting pot” population, and our being an impediment for newcomers to reach the blessed capital, have all served in our decision to charter our course into the horizon, like young Bokolos finally leaving the nest. 

 

We leave with the hopes that you will visit our new home for much merriment and feasting, as well as the hopes that we’ll be able to return to your meadehalls and break bread.

With it, we would like to offer a treatise between our people to carry on in this good faith and relation: a trade agreement to have a market stall between our capitals and a non-aggression pact.

"Looks like vy can nie longer consider vyrself a Norlandic mail order bride," Harren nudged his wife, Adalia de Astrea, chuckling thereafter. @shay

The head ranger stood atop the old keep for the last time, she looked out upon the flourishing wheat fields of Elysium as memories of the past thirty years flooded her head. She remembers the numerous times she has spent in the clinic getting patched up. Her eyes then land on the wheat fields which she’s helped tend to. She then turns as she spots the park in the distance, the park she helped to build, which held so many events. From picnic dates to fighting spooks to the many joyous weddings held there. Turning back to face the fields of Elysium again she lets out a sigh as she envisions the always bustling tavern filled with people who were either drinking or having a friendly brawl outside. She continues reliving the memories she’s made here both good and bad as she remembers the horrors of war. The constant raids upon the duchy seemed like it would break the peaceful vassal, however it did not. The way the Elysian people stood strong in such brutal times brings but a small smile to the elf's face. Though her memories continued onward to the first time she met Eugeo, who had personally escorted her to Elysium. To the kindness he and the fellow Elysians showed her and every person who entered. Her smile only grows bigger as she thinks of all of the friends she has made, those now who she considers her brothers and sisters. She dips her head as she gives a brief moment to mourn the friends they have lost too soon. “Though we must leave this place behind, I hope Elysium and Norland can both prosper and grow in their own ways. I am sure there are many new adventures and opportunities ahead.” with that she looks to the now starry night sky in the place she has called home for so long.“On to a new day and a new adventure. Who knows what tomorrow will bring and that is exciting.”

Kaustantin Baruch barges into Harren’s office at the embassy in Providence and pushed the paper straight to his face. “LOOK, vyr wife is niet pagan anymore!” He huffs as soon as he realized Harren and Adalia were already aware. “Ea guess she is now some kind of mutt elf or what godani forbid races they have in Elysium nowadays.”

The High Prophet receives word of Elysium's departure, frowning. He laments for the King of Norland to have lost such an upstanding and fine people. He begins to draft a letter, a smile breaking his expression as he holds hope for the people of Elysium and their honored duke.

Penelope de Astrea looks over the missive with a chortle, her head falling into a few nods. "I like this!" She exclaims, smoothing out the paper before pinning it to a board in her room, stepping back to look at it as a grin takes her lips.

Lunah Walks through the new City of Elysium and inhales deeply taking in the sweet fresh forest air, "Its good to be home." she hums before wandering down towards the White Bear Tavern.

Christopher Asul'onn de Astrea reads over the letter that King Eugeo had drafted, a small smile spreading across his features for the success of his newfound homeland. "An independence most worthy... vhile t'e Norlandic people were dobry to us, we were outgrowing their protective arms. Ich certainly do hope our relations with the Kingdom of Norland can continue to be as amicable as before!"

*Frisket walks through the gates Of New Elysium. On side had her son and on the other is her daughter. She takes in the fresh air, and huge smile crosses her face as she does so she mutters. "Home at last....."

 

Zackery would stare at the keep in complete amazement, though with sudden disappointment as he sees its much smaller than usual. Though that would change as he sees his uncle push in a cart of cannon balls and he would be more than impressed. COOL!!! THEY GOT REALLY BIG CANNONS. I wonder what else they have in there. 

 

Ruby wonders into shopping area, not as amazed but impressed, though she would see the park of the distance and look back at Frisket. 

Mom....can I?

Her mother would gesture to her to go off and walk around and enjoy. As ruby runs off to play and have fun with the rest of the group teens of kids including her cousins.

 

Frisket would take it in one more time as she reaches the new Vanari home. Happy and joyus to reach her destination and happy to be home. Where she and her family belonged. 

Home...home sweet home
