“The sun sets over the west, and in it rises the full moon and a lifetime of stars.”

As two sovereigns overlook the setting sun that dipped below the horizon that overlooked the western sea, an agreement had been made. It was in that moment in which two sovereigns had become one, the Kingdom of Elysium had turned into the Republic of Elysium and now raises their banners under that of the Principality of Celia’nor. As they enter into this new era of friendship and comradery to the mutual benefit of their peoples, they have made the following terms for this agreement.

 

I. The Kingdom of Elysium shall henceforth be known as the Republic of Elysium and as a self-governing state under the Principality of Celia’nor. The previous title for the ruler of Elysium shall now be known as the Lady Paramount of Elysium.
 

II. The Republic of Elysium retains the right to govern their territory as they see fit, so long as none of the articles within this document are impeded upon.
 

III. The former treaties with foreign entities that were held by Elysium are rendered null and void. The Republic of Elysium is not allowed to enact their own diplomatic policies within their allotted territory, it is the responsibility of the Principality of Celia’nor to handle all international affairs. 
 

IV. The vassals that are under the Kingdom of Elysium shall remain under the Republic of Elysium and the Republic shall be responsible for their oversight.
 

V. With this change in government, they shall go under the nobility system of the Principality of Celia’nor. The Republic of Elysium will adopt the practices and proceedings of Celian Court.
 

VI. Regarding the military of the Republic of Elysium; they are expected to merge into the Celia’diraar. A transfer of ranks shall occur and they will be given an adequate transfer after undergoing a training regarding Celia’nor law.

"Everything is as it should be." Valyris remarked, after a long meeting in which she set down her tea.

Seryn heard the news in a meeting. It was good tidings.

 

"Good. More unity for our kind. As if that's somehow meant to ease our bureaucracy."

 

He frowned. Was this a good omen?

 

Or a bad one?

Raziel Amethil watches Lord Chancellor Illarion's and Lady Paramount Leika's staring contest in the tower of Ivarielle, perking a brow, yet staying silent for a while before speaking as they finished. "Let us drink to our new-found friendship, ti?"

Aestenia Aevaris looked at the missive and pondered for a moment "Ah, more to welcome into the fold. This should be good as well as interesting."

"I have a suggestion for a noble tax," says Matyas to his cousin, Karl. @GMRO

The icy breathes left his mouth, the mornings shower that had drenched the West had passed for a time, with it's dew being all that remained on the vegetation. It was a cold morning, colder then most. Theoden could feel it, the coming of a winter not yet seen by most.

 

The construction had ceased for the day, celebration, was in order. The Principalities peaceful expansion was after all, a cause for celebration. Though to Theoden, it was just another stepping stone to the oncoming cold. "Celebrate now lliran, is of many good causes too after all. . . I'll be ready to celebrate when people of West all have shelter for coming cold." With that, he returned to his work.

Ember shrugged a bit as she saw the missive. She thought to herself what could become of this. Much to be seen

Leika sat on the roadside just off the main road between the her home and their new home. She had dawned on a familiar ensemble of scarlet and gold, though it was tighter than that she remembered it. The Silken fabric used to pool at her feet. Now tattered and frayed to create a more modern effect.. or maybe it was torn from past wars. Time was truly putting her mind to the test. Her body felt weighted,solemn as she felt the weight of such a kingdom of such strong-willed-adamant public. Sunken platinum eyes examined the gravel path, the woodland animals scurried and birds from tree to tree sang soft lullabies to their young.Graying brown hair turned back towards the shore's gentle tides lapping along shells and gleaming sea glass of broken carrion bottles. Breathing a long withered sky. “GOD, for I have always been following along someone’s shadow. First, it was my fathers who felt like the sun. Then it was my sister who was a breath of fresh air, then I was just the shadow of the whims of what others wanted, how they pulled and stretch my strings, used me as a puppet for their gain. I thought I was the queen. But merely a pawn on a chess board that was played by six other pieces. “ her fingers flicked down a standing shell as if she was kicking her piece down. The wind whistled as it pushed particles of sand over the piece until it was buried. but the shell it was long gone before she even stepped on the shore. long hours washed away her worries and her doubts as she sat alone. Not before the sun set over the West the tell-tale of familiar footsteps followed by a softer pair. “Go say it. Accost me. Say it- you told me so. “ she strangled out not bothering to look she didn't want to know “But I will not sit here and say that I allowed the city to rot in the sentiment that everything was a utopia. We're a republic now and changing is happening. They will just need to accept that.”

Ehrendil stared before the fox statue- Saegusa. His glowing golden eyes peered upon it with a discerning gaze- "I came here to start a new life, fought a war against orcs... again, fought against joining Malinor to keep our freedoms some years ago, lost everything to prevent this." he'd laugh, the cosmic irony setting in on him, "It is ironic that all roads seem to lead to the same place, isn't it Saegusa?" he'd query the statue, "But, if Leika thinks this is right, then I will bow my knee and put away my pride for the good of my new home." He'd turn his head to look down the path, toward Celianor, "GOD guide us on this new path." he'd mutter, turning the rest of way to head back into the gates.
