The_Haelunor_Gazette 163 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) The Haelun’or Gazette Published the 4th of Snow’s Maiden, Y. 125 SA. Vol. II Recent News - On the same day as the first edition of The Gazette, it was announced that the Ashen State of Nor’Asath has now been granted temporary membership to the Sol Entente in a probation period to test their commitments. As more and more strangers make their way into elcihi it stands to reason that they become more peculiar than the last. As of today, the 11th of Malin’s Welcome, a female individual appearing as a mali’thill made their way within the city. Many crowded around this abnormal individual, wishing to learn more about them though the process could be seen as unorthodox. Soris had grasped the individual's eyewear, nearly ripping it off of them without even asking it seemed. Much to the dismay of those around, this individual, who appears to be named Nemi, had no eyes. They were very robotic in nature, even emitting clicking noises as they ambled about the square. Multiple individuals, such as sillumir Illynora and Phandelver, stated that Nemi resembled a doll, albeit a very strange and almost creepy one. As time went on, the being began to learn and repeat new words as others gathered nearby said them. A shroud of mystery surrounds this elf-like creature, though one fact is certain. They are not living, or at the very least natural. During the recent public forum debate hosted by the Okarir’maehr, there were a few rather bold and questionable wishes/statements, one of which was made by none other than the Okarir’tir Malithor Nullivari himself. One of his statements was that the recruitment age for the Sillumir should be lowered to twelve years of age. While he had also mentioned that the oem’ii would not need to face actual combat, it is still a rather unnerving request. As most, if not all know, a mali is not physically mature until eighteen years of age. Most still have a rather child-like mindset until the age of twenty-five, or even well past that in other cases. While it can be agreed that the oem’ii of today need to have some form of guidance and structure in their life, having it be thrusted upon them at such a young age is not wise. Oem’iian need time to grow, learn, and explore the world they live in. As someone by the name of Arasdir commented, “Oem’iian… should not give their life to the blade.” A few days ago, Haelun’or was attacked yet again by pirates. They had somehow managed to blow a hole into the back of the city where we were most defenseless as not many linger in that area. As they poured into our walls, many mali fought bravely and laid themselves down to protect many innocent civilians. Multiple mali were injured but soon after the sillumir were able to push the assailants back and forced them to retreat, though it is just a matter of time before they attack again. This is just one of many battles we are due to face as their malice brews, however it is suspected that these individuals are affiliated with the Mori and fish-people we once battled. Is there any reason for these attacks? Has someone wronged these attackers, or is it merely out of boredom and possible gain? Whatever their motives, these scum of the sea will face retribution. Whispers in the Wind - Haelun’ors Gossip Column It seems that from the limited interactions following the last volume of the Gazette, Curunir Maeyr’onn has developed a distain for the woman who was mostly innocent in regards to the incident that occurred. Some have admitted to seeing the Maeyr’onn glare towards her whilst she did nothing more than sit before the tavern bar, he even refused to speak to or acknowledge her before promptly walking off. While there has been no updates on Dakaith’s proposed casino, there have been scathing reviews regarding Sohaer Luthien. One critic had not hesitated to shame her for a ‘blatant egoic bias’ though had failed to mention how the Sohaer flashed her ego. According to their claims, Lady Luthien had reprimanded Sir Pamphilos for nothing more than speaking, though they failed to provide factual evidence to support these claims. They grossly exaggerated how Lady Luthien had asked for silence prior to the beginning of a diplomatic meeting, not to mention having the assumption that Sir Pamphilos had at all been offended by the request. They continued to deliberate her 'inflated ego’ but consistently failed to mention the reasons behind these accusations or provide any sort of evidence for them. Perhaps this flaming critic is somehow jealous of the Sohaer, or perhaps even enamored with Sir Pamphilos and is using this as a way to gain their favor? Though there have been no comments from either Knox or Grimm, it appears as though perhaps a possible romance is blooming... It is rumored that after a lesson taught by Lady Aiera Sullas, Skeral Nightingale opted to stay behind for quite some time. Though this may just be a pursuit of knowledge, one may suspect a small attraction towards the elder is being formed, similar to how some oem’ii develop ‘crushes’ on their teachers. Onto a more pressing topic, it appears as though our Okarir’tir is beginning to show signs of greed as his actions are becoming more self-indulgent and narcissistic. During the recent siege (as stated above) Malithor Nullivari attacked a citizen with his crossbow completely unprovoked. His claim was that they were a darkspawn, but considering the circumstances one would be led to believe dealing with the nation's attackers would be more important than a ‘I think’ or feeling, however his claim may hold some truth. It was witnessed by others that the alleged darkspawn got back up from the usually fatal blow, practically unharmed. The attacked party claims alchemy is the reason for this seemingly impossible feat, though it is a farfetched story. Malithor had then begun to get in an argument with the Sohaer as she reprimanded him for taking attention away from the ongoing battles during the siege. Unfortunately I cannot say what had happened past that as I do not know, but perhaps the Okarir’tir was using this attack as a diversion of some kind? It can be assumed that the disruption had interrupted the focus of others fighting, perhaps leading to some of their injuries? Who is... Surprisingly, the poll for the most hated individual has ended in a tie between none other than Dakaith Araaloq and Valazaer Calith. Multiple entires have the two men voted for the category, though one could have a sneaking suspicion that it was none other than themselves who voted for the other multiple times. Due to the anonymity of the Gazette dropbox, we shall never know for certain… Continuing on, it seems the individual who won ‘most attractive’ and ‘best dressed’ was also Dakaith Araaloq, though the Sohaer and Valazaer tied for second place. For someone that is still quite unknown, he seems to have gained an unprecedented following.. Onto this editions polls: Who is… the clumsiest person? Who is… most likely to be chased by suitors? Who is… the most likely to live their life alone? Submit your responses to the Gazette dropbox! Have anything you’d like to see/add? Wish to bring something to light? Use the Gazette dropbox!

SteppeNomad 1552 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Stoic Pamphilos read through the Gazette when one of the lads dropped it off at the Iron Temple right before their scheduled silver tongued debate! "Offended, was I? Hardly. I felt my self swell with worthy pride, for it was Sulian to see Lady Luthien had her mind drawn to me above all!" He cracked a small smile, recalling those days of his and her youth. "Whilst I, describing the history to one of the Urukhiim diplomats; Entered did she, at the moment when others spoke, yet singled was I. The first thing she had done when enter the citadel, before even addressing the Princess and the Rex, was to call upon me, by name!" He stroked his Hyptos beard and thought "Though, In that moment, it seemed un-Lariheic to ne go through the proper courtesies worthy of Larihei of Law's sacred temple, instead of admonishing before all else." The stoic leaned back down upon the 'bench', and heft did he with those lads. For what is a mind, without a body equally as mighty!

"That wasn't me." She mutters under her breath within her dimly lit room, reading the pages hung grasped above her. "Ich only grabbed her hair." Her gaze slips down the paper, reaching the ultimate end. ".. What are these questions?" 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayonnaise 1535 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Morgana slapped the paper unto a table nearby, "This is so poorly written - even Celian'or's papers are superior. Malithor's discussion of lowering the age resulted in a widely-agreed upon notion that the Sillumir create educational classes in which they can teach our youth adequate combat skills prior to joining the military at an older age. But of course - with such a biased paper, this completely gets dismissed in favour of mocking the Okarir'tir. And the Pirates!? Whoever wrote this clearly was not present!. Where is the praise for bravery and fearlessness? Protecting our city should not be a thankless job - we ought to commend those who put themselves in harm's way. Valazaer was actively leading the charge, with several Sillumir at his side. Phandelver and Illynora were my standing guards - protecting me against arrow and sword whilst I threw boulders. Where are the commendations?" Majority of the woman's ranting would be heard by any who crossed paths with her within the Silver State - though she would undoubtedly spew her disdain towards her closest companions; @_Sheylo_@Amelica Spoiler Please use a grey colour for the font! The white is incredibly bright and contrasts poorly against the forum's background, especially when everything is in bold. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander_Jester 162 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Celadon Sullas relaxed within the comforts of his own home; relaxing after a long day doing whatever. Today was a fine day to read the Haelun'or gazette too. He drank his tea with the pamphlet in hand... 4 hours ago, The_Haelunor_Gazette said: Though there have been no comments from either Knox or Grimm, it appears as though perhaps a possible romance is blooming...

Though this may just be a pursuit of knowledge, one may suspect a small attraction towards the elder is being formed, similar to how some oem’ii develop ‘crushes’ on their teachers and chokes."What?" He continued to read on with furrowed brows... 4 hours ago, The_Haelunor_Gazette said: Onto a more pressing topic, it appears as though our Okarir’tir is beginning to show signs of greed as his actions are becoming more self-indulgent and narcissistic. During the recent siege (as stated above) Malithor Nullivari attacked a citizen with his crossbow completely unprovoked. There came a long, deep sigh. Now his night became even longer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuTheCoolest 176 Share Posted April 20, 2023 A silver extremist takes ahold of the paper and frowns. He had many examples written, but the sky god's fan busted. He glanced down to other stories. "The invaders made a mistake in pursuing battle against such a disciplined force. We bested them, even with nonsensical orders, such as to seize the bravest, and most loyal of the allies of the Sol Entante whilst the battle is yet raging, the one who may be possibly the greatest hero of our generation, shows just what motivates the commander of that battle. Could it be, he didn't want certain others to gain more fame and glory than he?" He quirked a bemused brow, passing the paper on to the other lads while he grabs a barbel. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widu 335 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Seated at a table within the homely confines of the tavern, the esteemed Chef Miravaris indulged in a leisurely read of the most recent publication while intermittently taking small sips of freshly brewed black coffee. A whole stack of newly printed papers rested neatly upon the table's surface, eagerly awaiting mali'thill-visitors. In the proximity of the chef's seat, atop the counter, several steaming cups of express coffee were freshly prepared, their rich aroma wafting seductively throughout the establishment. With each sip of the invigorating brew, the Chef savored its robust flavor and comforting warmth, relishing every moment of his respite from the hustle and bustle of the world beyond the tavern's walls. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces__1 180 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Amphelice would grab a paper before smoothing it out on the table. After skimming through, she'd let out a hardy laugh "It seems the author loves to bash this Malithor person" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
