“Our Bastion’s wealth and security depend upon our ability to control and regulate trade, even if that means at the expense of our lesser associates.” - Silir Uradir

Haelun’or has been known throughout Her history as the isolated state - from the time of the creation to present day - among the continents we have resided in. Such has been an asset for Haelun’or as we remain self-sufficient, we are not dependent on any foreign nation when it comes to exports and imports. Haelun’or has bloomed from the era of Malaurir Dio Astore to the era of Malaurir Elesia Elervathar. 

 

To remain progressive it is important to understand the value of external trading, the value of good diplomatic relations between Haelun’or and foreign nations, however not with the expense of ourselves. We must remain vigilant, yet open. 

I am thus bringing back something created by a former Okarir’san Silir Uradir - the seal of Elemyumiran. This seal will be granted on application basis to merchants that function within the Silver State. We will uphold and protect the rights of our government-approved merchants, who’s caravans will be sealed with the official mark of our Republic in order to ensure safe passage through the borders of the Most Favored allies. 

 

We require all trades associated with our nation to be conducted via these marked and traveling repositories. It is by this method that I ask the citizenry to consider supporting the introduction of enumerated goods. When a mali’thill merchant purchases goods to redistribute with a raised price (as is wise and just), or creates goods to sell, they will be required to filter certain textiles and items of interest back through the Motherland to receive the necessary tariffs. Any Silver Merchant would understand that it is their blessed duty to first provide for our Society, not just themselves. Any profit they make, some will go to our capital city (which, due to its elegance and continuation of our kind, is always in need of funds).

 

During times of conflict it is important we remain open to dialogue and diplomacy, the usage of swords and spilling of blood is but actions of the uncivilized. One must always seek diplomatic resolution to conflicts, even when the swords have already been raised. On this note, I am letting the representatives of the Dual Principalities of Fenn and Nor’asath, the Crown of Elvenesse and the Ebonwood Principatus know that Haelun’or still remains open to dialogue and diplomacy– violence should never be the answer. However for now, all trade between Haelun’or and the aforementioned settlements shall be ceased until further notice. We implore the nations to reach a diplomatic resolution. 

 

Signed, 

Okarir'akaln Usamea An’asul

A diplomatic resolution? We are too far gone for that, and everyone knows that Vytrek does not consider himself finished with Haelun'or. He will return, but not for diplomacy. He will return with fire and steel.

He stares at the blackness, eye twitching a little.

. . .Nevertheless, it is good to be hopeful. I can only pray that a solution is achieved.

An Elfess in a farm far away looks over the missive with her dulled eyes, and simply sat the missive aside, returning to her messy writings. A flurry of thoughts which brought on a sigh.

[Crevel 4727]

Leithedir An'asul would smile upon hearing of the announcement from his beloved sister and Okarir, "A worthy announcement to be admired, surely. Hopefully this system can be rolled out effectively given the current political climate.."

"Ahernan," Amaesil says, accepting the parchment from one of his Templars. He reads it as construction continues behind him. A low chuckle escapes his lips at the conclusion of the missive. "Government-approved merchants," he snorts. "Such an overcomplex system for a useless sanction. I doubt they will be able to effectively implement it. No matter."

[Bhased 3588]

Evar'tir Oranor laments the absence of his ethically* sourced coffee beans from Haelun'or in the morning, but is otherwise unaffected.

 

*[!] Independent fact-checkers have contested this statement.

[Minuvas 2966]

The Princeps receives the missive from a courier, noticing the last line, he picks up his quill and begins to draft a letter to an old acquaintance of the Silver State.
