UNITED IN THOUGHT

---

 

It is a joyful day for the Ebonwood!

 

On this day — the 9th of the Sun’s Smile, 69 SA — the Conclave of Ebonwood voted to amend the Balance Compromise. In its place, my Balance Law now resides:

 

Spoiler

 

The Balance Law

 

When voidal magic is utilized, it must be:
      I. Essential for individual defense.
      II. The minimum amount required for the necessary effect.
      III. Unallowed from harming any portion of the natural world.

 

The sanctuary known as the Spire of Ilandria will permit the following exceptions within a 10-meter radius of any given outer wall to the structure:
      I. Voidal magic may be used freely so long as it does not corrupt — intentionally or otherwise — the natural world.
      II. Voidal constructs may be created within the structure with approval from the Conclave.
      III. These constructs must have any corruption cleansed at least once per Elven Week at the expense of the Gwaithor in charge of the structure.
      IV. Any unauthorized or dangerous breach of the Balance Law by members of the Spire of Ilandria is grounds for the immediate dismantling of the structure with approval by the Princep.
 

 

In the chambers above the great hall, the leaders of the woodland voted unanimously to pass the law; however, votes were changed when the request to announce this as a unanimous decision was proposed. Some of my peers saw this as undue strife or bragging, but I see it as something much greater and stronger: unity.

 

We did this together. The sons and daughters of Malin — druid and mage alike — brought lasting, safe change to the woodland and found common ground beneath our feet. Every voice spoke; every voice agreed. It did not last long, but such is the way of politicians.

 

The future is brighter today. The natural world is protected and the mages are granted a new, safe path of practice. Ay'elame!

Amaesil Vuln'miruel, Prince of Ebonwood and Estelaurir of Elvenkind

Templar of Courage, Druid of Oak, Priest of Amaethon

Ayliana smiles proudly as she looks to Amaesil, the mali’thill wrapping her arms around him. 

 

“You did amazing, mayilu”

[TwistedFries 550]

The man read over the missive as he nodded his head slowly. He appeared to be in complete agreement with the new law, a smile forming upon his face as he said something to himself "I'm glad they were able to come to a compromise so early on in the debate. It's good to see that the balance is being upheld in other lands, especially the Ebonwood."

A letter from an old friend arrives to the hands of The Young Fox, bearing the seal of The Timber Wolf

 

     "My dear friend, it is of great comfort to me that the Balance remains still on the very forefront of your mind. It pleases me to know that even in your corner of the realm, you insist that the potential danger of the void is managed rather than the systemic oppression of otherwise ignorant people. This idea is of great interest to me, and I will ride to Ebonwood soon to discuss your thoughts.

                                                                                                                                Aspects Guide,

                                                                                                                                                             Aerendyl"

 

 

 

 

[critter 2812]

Wynanya nodded in support for her mal'onn-in-Balance, lifting a glass.

 

"It will not be a joyous day in the Ebonwood until action is taken for the lives lost in Krug," she remarked to a Karin, swirling the wine within. "But Amaesil's proposal is a brilliant one. One battlefront, won. A toast to the Fox."
