For Whom Shall The Bells Toll

Issued on the 6th of The Grand Harvest

147 S.A

______________________________________________________________

 

Affixed atop a plateau of rock are great spines and towers wrought of stone. Banners of Red and White furl and unfurl in temperate winds. Inside a great city resides an even greater people. Lithe and fair, intelligent and proud - the Blessed Elves of Aegis, for ours is a lineage which spans millenia. Millenia of toil, struggle, hardship and drive is what has brought us from depths low to our Mountain home of hope.

 

Yet questions now arise in the hearts and minds of all ‘thill. They are questions most fundamental. For ours are not a people of war and hate, ours are not a people of a brutish nature yet those who lead us do so into war and death - unprovoked and unjustifiable.

 

The hour is late and we stand before the threshold of a new sun’s rising. Dawning on this realm will be a sun illuminating our world in hues of red and quickly thereafter shall the streets of the innocent rush to imitate such a diffusion.

 

For whom shall the bells of vainglorious ambition and wanton malice toll? For whom shall tombs hewn from rock and stone be arranged? For whom shall songs of lament and sorrow be sung? For whom shall trumpets sound as the dead return to the living, never to be awoken?

"Hail Larihei! May her light, and the blessed waters cleanse us of the impure!! Hail Larihei! For it is not we who shall have vengeance..." Devoted Pamphilos, high priest of purity clasped his hands within the waters below the great statue of Larihei of Victory.
