"It would be that had the skygods not taken into account putting restrictions onto such." Valyris remarked in response. "They are still encouraged to wait."

[Generi 621]

A certain pirate captain sitting on Celi'anor's docks begins to copy the laws onto a notebook to use as a to-do list, muttering to herself as she did. "High elves can only marry other high elves? That's fucked up."

[Kaladin Stormblessed 668]

"These marriage laws... They seem racist" commented a certain pale skinned mali'ame

[DrHope 609]

"

Those of High Elven descent may only wed or create offspring with others of the same descent. High Elven descent is described as those with two fully High Elven parents. Those of elven descent may not create off-spring with those that are not of elven descent. Elven Descent is described as those with two fully Elven parents. Half-breeds may not have children as to not spread multiple curses onto their children. Half breeds are described as anyone with parents of different races. The children of those are not to be punished for their parents' mistakes. 

"

 

Fernaen stares in adunian, laughing at that particular declaration.  For once he was thankful his people left their home.  "Ancestors..."

Jarad Munnel would read over the words again and again "iv seen this somewhere before" he said before picking up an old Haelun'orian law book "Ah i see.." - "They copied from their predecessors"

As Jarad would continue reading he would come across a section on paladins being prohibited "So your also banned the group who's soul purpose is killing and ridding the world of the undead and unnatural.."

"By the ancestors.. One Hundred years of Age is what I will continue to believe as the only True age.. Whatever these damned laws speak.. Twenty Five is too bloody soon.." The ker grumbled, stroking his beard, and shaking his head, seemingly quite unamused as he folded the paper he read this from in his hand.

[Disklexia 184]

The elf would slowly sit as seems to look at the new set laws. He would slowly bring a mug up to his maw, He would drink the brown liquid before placing it back onto the counter right beside him. He would clear his throat before the snicker could be heard from Vakas " By the spirits, So, Celia'nor is becoming softcore Haelun'or with a side of suspicion. I will say. These laws are going to make people react for sure. Can not wait to see that go down."

"Ah well bloody hell, there goes the Elysians or Vikelians, what ever those people call themselves, & possibly their rulers..." a Sick elfess would lightly laugh, though it be caught short with  a cough. "I hope they know that.... I give them 5 golden months" she said leaning back in her rocking chair  "And at some point in history, they were all mixed, a pot of so many cultures, now they are nothing but a city, for the rebranded Silver state, I wonder how that must feel, repeating history an' all" a small scoff came to her as she did keep the law scroll in her shelves "I hope that Gentleman and his wife is doing all right, his information on the History fo that doomed Duchy was quite usefull, what was his name....Ell- Ellado....Ne...Ellathor..." she said hoping that the Elder Elven man was doing well @Thannon

from the woods in the west lies a certain shield, enjoying her time back where she was raised in, as she sipped the tea she, read the new laws of the land and saw a specific one, a roll of her eyes was all she needed to respond with to show her expectations. She folded the missive and kept it for safe keeping as she drank her tea, in peace..... for now.

Jarad would bang on the wall a little. "Keep it down Ember." he said trying to sleep well having a headache.

Ja’Runk’Ungri ate his copy of the law papers and walked off “KRUG KRUG KRUG!” 

[verriberri 164]

Wren Ashwood II reads the missive. She then crumples it up, and throws it in the fire. "Pathetic. It seems they're becoming the people they originally fled from. What cowards they've turned into. They'll deserve to burn, just like Haelun'or. Perhaps I'll see to it they do someday."

"Just hillarious. These are no new laws, they have always been in place. The only difference now is that cross-breeding will now be fined instead of the offenders being punished. Have those people even the slightest idea what they are talking about?" A laughing councilor said as he watched confused people talk about laws in place for thirty years "Some really don't seem ro understand our history."
