Xarkly 12583 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 RECOGNITION OF IVARIELLE I KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Issued by the CROWN On this 18th day of Jula and Piov of 407ES VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK The Kongzem of Haense does not fondly recall the Silver War -- a conflict sparked by insults levied by the Silver State of Haelun'or against the Kongzem and her Royal House of Bihar. When it first began under the reign of King Heinrik the Stern, it was a simple matter of honour; Haeseni Knights and the Brotherhood of Saint Karl were dispatched to seek remedy of the honour-debt through combat or payment. When the then-Sohaer could have settled the matter quickly and bloodlessly, he deigned to ignore the consequences of his action, and cower behind the marble walls of Karinah'siol. This began the Silver War in full, a conflict of minor raids and capturings that would drag on for years, all because the High Elven people were too proud to atone for their actions, and their insults. They so wrongly assumed they could ignore the world by hiding. The Silver War has, of course, come and gone. The Kongzem of Haense received its recompense in full following a treaty with the Silver State's then-Protector, the Principality of Savoy, and considered all debts settled. What thus compels this declaration is pity -- pity for the High Elven people, who had not the strength, the will, nor the honour to take up arms to resist the Haeseni raiders who impeded upon her borders in search of our justice. Pity for the High Elven people, many of whom were prepared to fight, but whose overlords convinced them to ignore the war, and to submit themselves fully to fatal sloth. Pity for the High Elven people, who were once strong allies, who were once a nation of genuine renown. At the behest of her allies, the Crown of Haense met with the Elven claimant Ivarielle I. While the Crown did not think to interfere in matters of Elven politics, Ivarielle I did convince the Crown that a strong future for Elfkind was indeed possible. In exchange for an agreement of alliance once her quest was fulfilled, the Kongzem of Haense does thus declare recognition of Ivarielle I as Princess of all High Elves, and committed aid, both political, economic, and military, in aiding her in achieving this. The Kongzem of Haense looks forward to a return to the days of yore in which both proud, strong nations were close allies.

Wyrvun 1262 Share Posted January 7, 2022 "Damn time." Ayred Drakon says, a small smile forming across his face "I wonder if they even care that half the world doesn't recognize them as a legitimate state now. The mental state of their leader certainly seems to indicate there is some stress. . . I'll have to pay Haense a visit some time." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinny 1617 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The Silver Princess placed the missive atop that of Oren's, Fenn's, Elvenesse's and Norland's. "A pleasant people, a wise decision.. I continue to be impressed by the northern realms as my years go on. I look forward to my next visit in which I shall share a drink once more - Mayhaps llir you should make something of these relations also?" Queries the Princess to the Fenn next to her. @Monkee 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkee 7356 Share Posted January 7, 2022 That Snow Elf dips his head, commenting back to the Silver Princess. "We could not ask for better neighbors, nor better lliran, than the people of Haense. I owe His Majesty a visit and my thanks. In the near future, certainly, I see the development of formal ties between the Elves and Men of the North." @Twinny 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samler 1024 Share Posted January 7, 2022 An old elf reads the missive right before going to bed. He sighs deeply. "So political and economic support, that is enough to found her princedom. . . As in, every military action she performs, it's thus unjust, for she can build herself that throne she craves for." 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crevel 4727 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Leithedir An'asul, from the blessed Silver State, would be working in the mines. With each swing of his pickaxe was a swing that he performed in defence of the Silver State, ensuring that whenever the time came to protect themselves they were ready. The foreman would come down, ringing a bell to bring all workers to him. With the bell came the announcement of Haense's decision before putting the Sillumiran swiftly to work once more. Each swing of Leithedir's pickaxe was only furthered by his fervant support of purity and his home. As he continued to work, he'd hum and think to himself, "Those who support the pretender know nothing of our customs and culture yet they believe that this iconoclast is worthy of support. If they've been to the blessed Silver State at all recently, they would know that there is zero support for this pretender among the mali'thill." He would take a few more swings before striking a vein of aurum, he would jest with his llir beside him, "Ti, you could make a fine necklace for the pretender from this gold. Though, it's not like they would even know what it means." he would chuckle before continuing the day of hard work. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sheylo_ 979 Share Posted January 7, 2022 A citizen from the Silver State scoffs. "She should just form her own union. She won't take our state, not unless she pry it from our cold, dead hands." He huffs, wiping his hands from his work. "We will see how it goes with this debate in three Elven days." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulan 443 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) "At this rate, there will be no reason to fight the Haelun'orian Silver State. We can carve out our own Princedom, and let the withering and corruption of Haelun'or undo itself." Ruathar Indoren smiled widely as the news reached him, pleased that 'Fenn, 'ker, and 'thill can still form strong bonds. "A new dawn is rising for all Mali. Haelun'or can choose to fade into the pages of history, or fall in line with the new rhetoric." Edited January 7, 2022 by Tulan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
