Gavin_ 1834 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Issued by Sohaer Braxus Ni’leya, 18th of Malin’s Welcome, Year 57 - S.A Ivarielle, It has long been a tradition in Haelun’or, to challenge those in positions of power who you deem unfit, ill-intentioned or simply incompetent. It has long been the tradition of Haelun’orians, to debate their differences, not through sophism, but through well-reasoned and intellectual oration - rhetoric is a device used by those who possess wit in abundance, but lack reason. You claim that it is I, Braxus Ni’leya - Sohaer, who draws Haelun’or down a path that will lead to bloodshed. You claim that my Sohaership is illegitimate. You claim Haelun’or for yourself. You claim that Haelun’or owes its allegiance to you - for you are her Princess and her citizens are your citizens. You claim that you come not to destroy, but to unite. You claim that you wish to safeguard our traditions and culture. Prove it I, Sohaer Ni’leya, offer you, Ivarielle Ibarellan, the opportunity to challenge me, as is tradition, for the position of Sohaer, by public debate in the Silver Citadel, chaired by elMalauriran, to be witnessed by all denizens of Haelun’or. You are hereby invited to make your case before the most venerated and blessed of Mali’thill - elMalauriran and they shall decide who shall rule Haelun’or, Ni’leya, or Ibarellan, as is tradition. Should you challenge me, you shall enter Haelun’or freely and without harm - no injury shall come to you. Should you decline, you show the world that it is you, who leads elMali’aheral to bloodshed, not I. You discredit your entire movement and prove to the world that you are nothing more than a politically ambitious liar. A date and time shall be arranged privately, by bird. Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya Signed, Braxus Ni’leya, Sohaer. Edited December 31, 2021 by Gavin_ 42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinny 1618 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "Pen and paper, pen and paper; the flurry of words. Is this not what mali-kind as a whole is tired of, is this not what has caused the stagnation of the state, its repetitive failure. Imagine my surprise when I thought I were challenged to a true duel under the rights Othelu granted us as a people- yet what happened to the prince when he went to the state, llir?" So asked the princess of the fenn at her side "How will this debate be fair, be just- be true if the side challenging me cant even uphold their own constitution? Their own laws? Time and time again.. violation after violation.. yet all is cast and projected outward to cover up one's mistakes. Allow me time to think on it, Vytrek , then I will make a choice over letter to him" 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkee 7356 Share Posted December 31, 2021 A Snow Elf's brow perks as Ivarielle shows him the missive. "They invited Prince Amaesil to Haelun'or for diplomacy, and when he arrived, they threatened to kill him. If Haelun'or does not respect the diplomatic immunity of him, why would they respect yours?" @Twinny 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump 704 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "As it should always have been." Was all the Okarir'maehr Sullas produces, stewing in front of a fire in her home, white hot light reflecting from the matriarch's spectacles and hiding her eyes from the view of whomever lingered around her, perhaps overhearing, or stopping to listen. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaytoTot 1170 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "A challange!" An 'aheral would shout from her home, excitement filling her from the post! "I remember the debates when I lived within elcihi... I suppose it is about time to return." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
squakhawk 8081 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "A chance to accrue any form of legitimacy, save from her concubine-cronies. Just as last, the moment the men above her get what they want, she shall be cast aside and forgotten. A twist of the arm, to show if the pretender is truly wishing for the best hearts of 'thill, or if she is to be but another forgettable decade-long dictator, as with those that came with their foreign armies to defile Haelun'or in the past." Anethra murmured observantly to her lonesome, the long distant 'thill reading from her ever-shifting home as far away from that silver bastion as she could make it. "You do continue to surprise me, Sohaer. How well you play this game." 26 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morigung-oog 2377 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "Haelun'or's structure is in desperate need of a reshuffle... Ain't personal to you, Braxus- I know you're just a puppet with the others pulling your strings." Valindra sighed while sat upon her bedroll with her Karin's head rested in her lap. "You may promise not to harm her, but can your citizens promise the same? They're much akin to rabid animals nowadays." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadGaia 924 Share Posted December 31, 2021 An aheral' looks down upon the missive, paper held between the black leather fingers of her gloves. Slowly, she looked over the page, features unmoving. "Curious," was all she uttered, before carefully folding the parchment, and tucking it into the pocket of her vest. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini 1639 Share Posted December 31, 2021 “I ne care what lesser nations support her claim for they ne matter, only those of silver. Let us see whether she indeed is a legitimate ruler and respects our tradition, our culture and the authority of the Maheral. If the false princess does not recognise the Elervathar or accept the generous offer of elsohaer, she indeed is nothing but a hideous monster of the fennic remnants.” A citizen of Haelun’or would comment upon hearing the news, the elfess quite excited about this. “Ah, I can only think what they call us nowadays, barbarians? They constantly attack our bastion, kill our citizens and spread lies about slaving poor Mali. elmali’ker that used to work at the tavern was killed by the false principality, turning him into a ghost and we are the barbarians?“ Usamea would make her final remarks, the councillor returning to her daily duties. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E__V__O 1984 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Evo'lur looking over the missive as he resides within the tavern resting after his research papers. With a glass of elven wine he reads. "It is good we've been able to fall back to our old traditions and debates, though sadly on my most recent visit to speak with the princedom supporters they share no ideal of debating rather only see things through bloodshed which is disheartning." The elf sighs with his brief monolog as he presses back into the chair leaning it on two legs as he balances "It is curious to say the least, will they accept the offer or rather want to holm for bloodshed? The princess believes she is the monarch of all 'aheral though those within the city see her as a tyrant. Perhaps if she lived with her people she would see the traditions instead of that of dark beings manipulating her mind." Evo'lur leans back forwards to take ahold of the missive once more before placing it aside, taking up the schematic page of void crystals next to it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laeonathan 4004 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "This Braxus seems like a wise elf" a Kharajyr notes "We shall see, how much this Princess truly loves what she calls her people. It will certainly be one for the history books." "I wonder however - will foreigners be allowed to watch this spectacle, so we might record it for our history books?" @Gavin_ 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_losers 958 Share Posted December 31, 2021 "Do love when High Elves throw word-hands, this is cash." - A human would muse in their High Elven home as she lights up some green in her home to relax.
