Important News and Events - Haelun’ors Local and Global news column

With the war Haelun’or is staging on the Vale of Neveahlen, we of the Gazette only find it right to fund the creation of Haelun’orian War Bonds, in the Sillumir’s name. Purchases of these can be made in the city square, where the Haelun’or Gazette previously left its work out.

 

Miven Caer’meonn, leader of the Vale, has yet again attempted to seduce one of our esteemed members in society! Firstly it was the disowned Celiasil Uradir with whomst she was previously married to. It appears she seems to be attempting to keep it in the family, vying for our esteemed Asulir, Kolvar Uradir. The temptress is trying to tear down our nation, one ‘aheral at a time!

 

A few elven days ago, Carallia Maeyr’onn was spotted being approached by a sketchy looking individual. A few eye-witnesses express seeing the man walking up to and cornering her before the gates to the housing district! We’ve yet to get word from the oem’ii at the moment, but we have found some shocking news about this mystery man. Apparently he has been banished from our lands before. He masqueraded around, pretending to be a ‘thill in order to manipulate oem’ii away from the path of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya! The close llir of Carallia, Cresence Tunuviel’vihai, gave a written statement on the matter through our dropbox. She said en-quote, “I saw him cornering her and demanding physical affection in the form of a hug! He even knew her name and that he could find her here, meaning he had been watching her for some time. Once he noticed me however, he threatened to harm me and unnecessarily destroy the area for being there.”

 

The name this man goes by is Cain and seeing as he has personally attempted to put one of our oem’ii in harms way, we have decided to form a bounty on this disgraceful being. Not only has he broken the terms of his banishment but he had enough time to watch and stalk the young Miss Maeyr’onn to learn of her whereabouts and seek her out! We will be issuing a cash prize for any and all who manage to put this man behind bars. A grand sum of 200 mina will be issued upon completion of this, via a designated Sillumiran. (Note: If multiple people work to capture this man, the 200 mina will be divided equally among them.)

 

A summon was made by the Maheral for the one called Dyonne Alusa, calling for her to debate her reasoning for creating an alchemical potion that is said to make the blood of the drinker gold- experimenting with this on Mali’aheral, willing or otherwise. As any would know, do not trust that which has not been approved by the Government itself.

 

In a decisive opening strike against the Vale and her allies from up North in the Kingdom of Norland the Haelun’orian party would slaughter a combined force of Vale and Norlandic soldiers, leaving them in route while not a drop of silver blood would be spilt. In the aftermath of the fighting four Nevaeheln and Norlandic leaders would be taken captive, including that of the Norlandic High Keeper which would bring the number of hostages up to 5 as the Haelun’orian party stumbled upon a man outside the walls before fighting began. 

 

The Norlandic prisoners would be escorted to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan where they would meet their own fates. The High Keeper would be sent free after negotiating her release for the ending of hostilities between nations in a violent feud that previously had no end by writing a rather embarrassing letter to Urguan. It is unknown what happened to the Nevaehlen prisoners which were taken by Haelun’or, but many speculate they were released back into the wilds.
 

 

Whispers in the Wind - Haelun’ors gossip column

While simple, a rumor is spreading on our ex-Maheral, Seth Calith, stating he is bald and wears a wig! We do suppose he is quite the aged ‘thill, yet it would be such a shame if he had less hair than the ancient Silvos Sythaerin.

 

Stelios Hyptos, known to be a spirit-worshiping elf, has seemingly been harassing the Mar’sil Valindra Nullvari. He accuses her of being a follower of dragonkin, siding with the Azdrazi- even telling her to bathe in the golden pools and end her life on the account of his beliefs that she is an ‘ata! Valindra faced these accusations with grace and poise as any ‘thill would, with two others speaking well on Valindra’s growth and her ongoing path. Even so, Hyptos still questioned the leadership of Kolvar Uradir and Seth Calith; the two who unbanished her and gave pardon.

 

We have also heard that a goat was found hanging on a tree branch near the stairs to the Citadel! Was this goat a sacrifice, or a warning of what’s to come? Did a citizen commit this heinous act, or an outsider? From what we know, no visitor has been logged bringing in a goat with them… 

 

 

An Interview with Arasdir Miravaris

Tell us about yourself. 
This question was left unanswered.

 

What are your inspirations with your work? 
Ageless echoes from marbled stone, and the sun which rises on a morrow ever better than the last. Our Motherland, verily, which we inherited from those who walked before us, and the great tapestry which our people have weaved in threads of silver and hope, and left for us to toil, so that more beauty and harmony ever our successors may come to behold.

 

What are some things you would want to change, given the chance? 
Pertaining the Motherland, there is seldom any change I would enact. Mine yearning is that which we all should share, that the Light of Larihei may reach wide and far, and that all shall see knowledge and health to be the path to harmony, and end to shadow and the coming of an age of prosperity and wisdom.

 

Do you have any close friends, and who might they be? 
This question was left unanswered.

 

What is your opinion on the recent document send out by the ‘ame of the Vale?
It is by chance alone that no longer shall my heart find solace under tree, and that my rest shall be in the shade of ivory towers. Our cousins had not so fortunate to bathe in the Pools, but I trust that they may come to see the Light of Larihei and that we may together come to cherish our forgotten roots.

 

 

And now, onto the Gazette’s public questionnaire: Who is…

Our last poll ended in a partial tie. The winners for most likely to be intoxicated in public and most likely to stalk a love interest were Arasdir Miravaris and, you guessed it, Valazaer Calith. Considering our earlier entries, we have decided to change the winner of the former to match what has happened as of late.

 

As for our final poll of who is the source of our gossip, it was a tie between Arasdir and Elarhil Sullas surprisingly enough.

 

Onto this edition's polls! 

 

Who is… the most in need of a bath?
Who’s talonnii… has the cutest oem’ii? (Young and old may apply)
Who is… most in need of some intervention from Larihei, for all our sakes?

[Morigung-oog 2352]

Valindra let out a maniacal cackle. The gazette never failed to disappoint!

[MrSyth 457]

"Less hair than Seth? That's outrageous! Whoever wrote this needs their eyesight checked..."

The old elf tosses the damp newspaper to the ground, mumbling. "They don't even have facial hair, I bet I have more hair than any of them."

[Lirinya 2649]

A Wood Elf frolicked in the wilds.

[PrimnyaQuorum 1036]

Cackling flows through a quiet house in the Silver City, as a copy of the gazette finds itself in the hands of a Blonde. He wipes tears from his starry eyes as he sets the paper down, enjoying a Mimosa with his freshly homemade borscht. For a moment, he ponders a life of retirement. 

[SteppeNomad 1552]

"Eh? Valindra is still yet in our glorious cihi? I vote HER most needed of a bath! Hopefully in waters so pure they burn! Glad she has yet to allow her smells to harrange the perfumed breeze when it passes by me! May our separation of timezoness be praised!" A PURE High elf, not a kinslayer grins after reading of the great silver victories! "May the wicked be purged! May the impure be dunked in the purest pools, and emerge, immolated in burning flames! Hail Larihei! For it is not we, who shall have vengeance!" Grins a Hyptos! KEENLY aware of the dragon worshiper's dastardly plans to subvert the pure cihi!
