The Golden City of Sol’Tamartha {Art by Angrosch on Fantsy} “Who are we to dictate our people, when we ourselves have lost our way?” - Damirth Timasi, Grand Civil war Upon the arrival to the first land of the blessed ‘Solarii, it was always wished upon the people, to one day rise out of their thatch and stick built homes, or Sticks and stone towers, and build a Realm, in which embodied true Sun elven supremacy, while it was so this truly in history never became be during the ages of the Two Emperor wars in Arcas, a small yet formidable city was in place for the Sun elves. Named by the first dying Star of the Mali’Solarii, Tamartha, was a city claimed to be made from sandstone, and rich quartz and marble. A city named for its hidden brightness, and soon, its hidden corruption. Within this city, many events that lead to present events occurred. Each family mentioned, and discovered are correspondly at fault for the fall for Sol’tamartha, whether it was a positive effect or negative. This is also recorded that Tamartha was the city where the sun elves developed a social culture, which brought social hierarchy, Economic structure and Identity, Mass trade exports, and most of all a Principal ranking. Sol'Tamartha was built during the dissolution of the Kingdom of haense and the crown of renatus (S.Y 1721), This city while small, was not noticed by many great nations of vassals alike. However this was warranted by the fact that the Sun elves, once more were hidden in the corner of the world, in a land filled with lush woodland, and a large lake filled with much sea life. Sol’Tamartha stood as the pinnacle of High Sun Elven Society, conducting efforts to self Isolate themselves to their own cultures and disway from outside cultures for the time of the first Ruke of Tamartha. Goli Ac’Timasi of the Sol’Talonii of Lutan’Timasi. While warriors, the Lutan’Timasi practiced politics for once in the Golden age of Sol’Tamartha, Experienced enough the Son of Hatero Timasi, ran for the crown of duke, marrying the last daughter of the Sol’Harolis. In the span of five years, within the coup of Itori harolis and the embarking of new lands from Sol’Gunri to the new lands of Tamartha, the pair became close friends, and simply clicked. When they united in both name and blood the title of Gerl’haliim went to Goli, however he and his wife, wanted to rise the city from the dark ages of simplicity, and declared the First Ruchy of the Mali’Solarii, Dubbed The Sovereign Ruchy of Sol’Tamartha. Following, the couple were deemed the first Ruke and Rules, while the social standing was less prominent for the females of the city, The citizens found it fairly certain this method of living was not incorrect at the moment, this would as most things, change overtime. However Sol’Tamartha faced many challenges and many issues already by declaring such great titlage, in which led to the rise of the Golden age of the Ruchy and the fall of the Mali’Solarii. The Rise… (S.Y 1729) Spoiler The great city was yet to be built, but the land seemed rather intact and untouched, the luck from the beginning was almost too good for the sight of many Sun elves. In the moment, the first oriasmic following, led by Singathi’Ahernami as the High Speaker, congregated his kindlings and began to pray to the stars, the lesser spirits of Solaris (Aztran) and beckoned a blessing upon the land, so that it may continue to prosper and lush in great beauty. However, a Druid by the name of Leylah Ag’Sisame, accompanied by two other druids, blessed nature and land with many trees and lush plains of flowers. In a long time, this could have been the first time Shamans and Druids worked together to serve and bless a land. Nevertheless, this blessing was seen heretical and the Oriasmic following executed the druidic women in secret in an event called the straightening. After such, the city began its construction, with a couple of protests happening within the city against the following for the execution of a small group of druids, accounting fifteen deaths, the city built their walls and roads out of the mountains resources and the bodies which laid a foundation for the faiths reputation and the city as well, sandstone and quartz. Sol’Tamartha began to heal and rise rapidly, moving past from beginning incidents and tragedies. The city itself was built from quartz and gold, becoming a powerful yet beautiful isolated country. From it many things rose from it, A small yet Faithless Elder family was welcomed into the fold of elder families as the Sol’Harolis lost their seat after Gunri. Aelrothi, an Average yet sizable family in the beginning, held an eight hundred year old Mali, who had led the family since Gunri- [name of Family Member] was both wise and held by logic and facts. While the family was faithless, they were held highly by many as skilled scholars and Geographers. Such was the case for them as they did not serve the first Solitario legion. They were held for their skills and intelligence, serving the city with their quick and decisive decisions based on facts, analytics and most especially sharp intuition. The Boom (S.Y 1730-35) Spoiler Alongside the many elder families, The economic boom which brought prosperity to the city was nothing short but impressive, the city had open exports and imports, for being an isolated city, however the city attempted to hide themselves as a company rather than a city trading with other nations. Thus this was the case for the time when Sol’tamartha traded as a trading company. Many trades were incorporated with the Li-ren of Yong ping and Oyashimen, however they were trades of rich fish and mild spices, they heavily traded with the Elven kind of Haelun’nor and Elvenesse during the Sea Princes reign. And so they carried both imports by a large small ship fleet in which were not used for combat, but were simply used for trading and expeditions of exploration. And because of the Wars within Gunri, also came a baby boom, in which many ‘Solarii families were built upon this new land, and so it was during this time that the Ruchy dedicated the first ever academy to educate these fellow Ochem’iis (Children) everything they needed to know, including basic math, Reading and writing. From it the Elder family of Aeriolith was in the spearhead of the academic infrastructure of Sol’Tamartha, and tradesmen led by the Su’hirame began to trade heavily as well with Haelun’nor when it came to books and knowledges, though because of the culture of Haelun’nor many of these pieces which came back usually came back in small, and in casualties. With the knowledge however being brought from many different places, it was only then upon a book of social elven studies called, the Malicron hierarchy discovered by the Mali’Solarii. This would reach the elder council and thus began an age of order, with the adaptation of rankings and social status and culture, many citizens were classified not by ranking or popularity, but by a Social Labor culture. This method of Social culture was called Dragor’Varexi (Working Crown- Social Monarchism) Whilst the Structure was seen a tyrannical and based less on helping the unlucky, it focused on those who would work heavily to gain what they wished for, and rewarded those who would put the Ruchy before themselves. Nevertheless, many families would be rewarded with titles and small plots of land, to raise cattle and or grow spices and products. Many common folk found it easy to do their daily lives without the worry of heavy taxation because of this sudden rise in income from trade and taxes. Much of the Military was composed of mainly men and women, however because of the rise in children and young adults without employment. Many Solarii sought to earn their ballads through steel and glory. The first Sol'tarrio (Sun warriors) were created and held around 270,000 enlisted 10,000 in reserves. Many fought in future battles against the native tribes of the Ikibiki in the battle of the black swamp, or during the war against the terrorist organization called the Order of the Ashen Moon. These battles while taxing paved the way for historical figures and legendary stories shared within the academies of Tarmatha. However it was around this era in 1732 that three young twins within the royal family were born. Three princes that would soon become one of the biggest changes to Solarii society. The First prince, Prince of the Snow mountains, warrior against the Northern highland mountain tribe wars, Athien’Timasi, The second prince, prince of the Golden Calvary, the Silver tongue judge, grand wielded of the Saber of Timasi, Marthin’Harolis-Timasi, and last but not least Grand Master of the Order dark Sun, Third Prince- The Conqueror of the Ikibiki, Slayer of the Great black orca. Jantis’timasi The black Orca(he would later on change his last name to Jantis’ Harolis). Soon in history they would change the lives of the Mali’Solarii and all of Tarmatha forever. Dragor'Varexi- Working crown-Social Monarchism: was the given govermental structure that allowed workers and other kind of low income and social status individuals the power to speak and make decisions for the crown.Ochem'ii- Pronoun (Ungendered sentence): Signifies a younger Sun elf, or simply a descendant childSol'tarrio- (Sun warriors): The Military of the Sun elven cities. The Era of Tyranny…(S.Y 1851-1881) Spoiler During this era many scholars questioned whether this era truly happened. Because it was not a time in which they had expected to truly happen. However the evidence within the scrolls was always pinpoint accuracy. As other scrolls indicated these events through references of signatures and other sources of information. When the Three princes were born, the Mountain tribe wars against the Sun elves began. The mountains which sat behind the Solarii split them off from the rest of Almaris. Were inhabited by native tribes who saw elves as intruders and desecrators of the ritualistic land in which many of their brethren were buried. Thus the tribe commenced peace negotiations between the nation. The Ruke wanting to peacefully negotiate a way for both sides to have what they want, seemingly was an agreeable compromise within the council. However two of his sons saw the tribe as anti-spiritualist and heretics. The princes were taught in the ways of the spirits. Believing anything else is but blasphemy and impure. Such was the case, and seeing their father share mead and break bread with pagans; whilst ignoring the peace attempts- made them feel motivated to change. In a night of “prayer” toward the spirits, it is recorded by the high keepers' personal appointed clergy member tasked to teach the young princes that they prayed to “a dark spirit, asking it to forge within them courage and strength”. It was only until the month passed that the Ruke and his beloved were found dead within their quarters with weapons seemingly matching the tribe warriors of Tholuk. When this was heard the Princes in the name of their father and if the people of Tarmatha declared war against the cheif of Tholuk. The tribe in their attempt to clear things up, claimed that it was set up by the princes. All three denied being there that day due to simply being in the temple of Solaris, praying. It was only then the diplomats of the tribe were killed in the meeting room. “Pure Peace will only be achieved when the chaotic Impurities are cleansed”- Athien’Timasi Rise of the Principality…(S.Y 1855) Spoiler During this time, many people began to be skeptical of the situations which had already taken place. Many believed that it was a ploy to gain the crown over the realm itself, and many also assumed such. Otherwise many tried to find answers within the council itself, claiming many of the council members were corrupt and had mal intentions against the ruke himself. Furthermore the skepticism was fueled by small terrorist attacks against the realm itself- often what had happened were considered big attacks (Such as razing of farm fields, destruction of mineshafts, and robberies of fishermen dinghies,) were seen as small scale terrorism and were not taken seriously. Originally the attacks were made by an anti-monarchical group that established themselves during the time of transition between Sol’Gunri and Tarmatha. These groups would soon form into a greater danger, but for now began to shake down council and government officials within the city to make sure that the intentions of the people came first before their own families or even themselves. However the skepticism was heavily fueled more, upon the rise to Principality and mainly due to the wieldy structure hierarchy of such. Unlike most Elven realms, like Haelun’nor, Nor’asath (Stygian Hollow at the time), Fenn, Elvenesse (present time Fenn and Amathine). The ‘Solarii did not have much knowledge on how elven realms specifically deemed someone high prince, or how many there are. So with what they knew, the three princes declared themselves the princes of Tamartha, while claiming High princes, they only believed there could be more than one prince, and only one high prince and one king, that king being Malin. However during this time the princes dedicated themselves to the good of their reigns, securing their lineages with many wives and children. The Consequence…(S.Y 1868) Spoiler Many years after such a claim, the city has seen a drastic fall from grace. While it is true that many of the royal talonii saw their lives prosper and lavish upon the good labor of the citizens, it was such latter fact that drove them far from their original standard belief. Some claimed they had no differences from the snobbish human kings and queens who lavished in the hard work of others whilst not working themselves. This became a set-in-stone opinion after the princes attempted to pass a edict to proclaim themselves king of the Sun elves, in which case many who knew of the Elven history, declared the second prince Athien’Timasi; a “vile whitewash” and that he was “stepping out of a line” no prince outside or inside our city would ever take. And this would further extend their descent as they began to turn away from the spirits which guided them to their new home. Many places of religious beliefs were taken down to improve on their advancements in clockworking and automata, a trade of miniscule and rudimentary innovation and industry in which they had ignored and seemed incapable to make good use of. With that in mind the high speaker of the time Singathi’Ahernami explained the decisions of the princes were unreasonable with their beliefs of the spirits, in which case he asked an audience with the three princes. In such a meeting he explained further of the heretical actions which they were taking against the spirits, and how the spirits of Solaris became displeased with the actions in which Tamartha was taking. In such a case the princes laughed in the face of the High speaker, and executed him with no remorse during the meeting. When it was announced about the death of the high speaker- claiming he stated treasonous actions, the first witch doctor, or simply seen as a witch, named by Hayli’babut decided punishment must be handed down, and it was during a vision, the witch was told that the spirits will descend judgment upon the children of the ‘Solarii who scoff at their might and that they return for tribute in light of this scoffing. They claimed, to those who still believe in the fathers of stars and galaxies light, that they cover their doors with blood of Krugmarian Boars, and that they give the rest of the boar to a great scale prayer, each family must pray to their spirits within their altars and when night comes they never leave their home for anything. With such in mind, many citizens rushed to buy or steal boars traded from Krugman. They painted the blood over the doorway and used the rest in sacrificial prayers to the spirits, and awaited the night to pass. However to the princes and their families and the families which did not follow the spirits out of their own volition, saw a dark shadow overcome the night sky, the shadow dimmed the moon and any torch seemed rather useless within the shadow itself, all children and women of elderly age human or Elf, began to pass away, and enter the stargush. Soon many parents would awaken to their dead relatives and children, including the princes, whose lineage was still young and had been wiped out by the spirits' powerful curse. With the momentum of trauma and fear, the princes began restoration of altars and statues. They tore buildings in which these statues once stood and began to fix what was left untouched. They only asked the council of Oraism to make the spirits never do such again. The First war, the extermination and rightful Justice… (S.Y 1869) Spoiler After ages passed, the city soon became what it was before the great consequence. However the many issues with the city did not end, three native tribes under the command of three human chiefs, arose and began to bargain with the three princes of Sol’tamartha, their goal was to halt the expansion of the sun elves into their territory through the means of gem trade. However the first prince, fell in love with a woman within the Northern tribe, a fair babe with a kind soul, and strong sense of honor. The prince was swooned by the human girl. So he attempted to enact a sinful act and wed the human maiden. However the Chief did not wish for elves and humans to create monstrosities, in an act to keep the purity between their lands intact, the chief killed the woman, and sacrificed her body to the Pagan gods in which they praised. When Athrien heard of this, he became infuriated, and the anger turned to hatred. He set out to enact his campaign against the mountains, and eliminate those who he deemed unworthy to speak her name. On top of that, many remembered the incident with the Ruke and Rukess, and the tribesmen who had assassinated them. This with the murder of the soon to be and claimed Princess. Sparked a fire in the heart of every citizen within tamartha, and they ensued the princes to gain justice for their dearly beloved Ruke and Rukess, thus the prince deemed this as an eradication of the native tribe of the mountains, and had commanded his warriors to prepare for the Campaign In the end, Prince Timasi fought with no end, he believed the war would have ended by the second attack, only to find out 3 years later that was not the case anymore. His will to fight was shortened by his lack of want, though he saw the war to the end, in his wake lies over seven hundred thousand bodies, women, elders and children alike. Battle of Top rock (S.Y 1870) During the first year, the Three princes agreed that the first prince, in retaliation to the unjust treatment of the declared princess consort, would fight against the Northern Mountain tribe. The first battle took place, an uphill battle which saw the implications of wall fighting, and grappling hooks being used to fight these wall battles. At the beginning, many of the Sol’tarrior believed it would be impossible to scale a flat surface mountain without suffering casualties from the rain of arrows. However one famous soldier, unknown to time, found that grappling hooks could be hooked onto the ledge and used to ascend into the land above. Ultimately this strategy had to be used, and the forces of two-hundred forty mali’solarii began to ascend with their shields in front of them. This strategy would be known as Jall Wak’t Weteona or walking wall fight and this would be the only battle ever seen with such style of fighting being used. Twice was a push made by the Sun elves, and in the end, as the Tribe retreated the sun elves continued a push, however suffered a massive casualty of over one hundred thousand warriors. Battle of Sun ray hill. (S.Y 1870) It was in the next week, during the same day, after the city had then deployed reinforcements to his highness's side. The Sol’tarrior and the first prince formulated a plan of attack, one which involved the down hill battle which they faced. Many commanders and strategists deemed the battle easy and winnable, however what they did not expect was the advanced weaponry of trebuchets and dual chamber ballistas, which the enemy somehow held. In spite of all this, a strategist named Virion Aelrothi, of the Aelrothi Sol’talonii created a one time strategy that would have been seen as atrocious by most, however it was a key method of deception. In battle, the winner is determined by size, in this instance, even if it was an uphill battle for the enemy, the spies informed their commanders, and mainly Virion- that the forces were numbered four to two. In such a case, knowing he only had two hundred available, he was determined to make it work. Then in one late night meeting, he had presented the battle plan, which was then agreed to be used in the battle, after a swift argument from his vice commander and soon to be, Achaia Vasalis- With her agreement, the plan was in motion. Infoward for the plan to work, two ambush platoons were made and separated at the bottom forest under the flat surface mountain which where the battle of top rock took place. Another was placed near the river bank, at the bottom of the ocean, each platoon measuring over fifty thousand. Led by Achaia and Toso Dimitry, a Human farfolk who was an old resident of an old farfolk family within the Solarii. Both sides were covered by the shadows of the trees, which were tall spruce wood pine cone trees. By using the cover the platoons were able to camp out the night and await the march of the tribe, which was said to be at dawn break. As soon as the sun rose, the four hundred thousand warriors of the Tholuk Northern Tribe. rode to the middle of the hill with their trebuchets and ballistas, They prepared for a long siege and upon the first set of ballistas fired, a firework, colored red, was shot into the air, as the platoons began their ambush of the men and women of the Tholuk warriors. The battle was recorded to last about an hour before all were slaughtered, and the injured taken prisoner to serve a long painful death, by the order and decree that all who are part of the tribe, and survive the incoming wrath, shall suffer the similar pain they have caused his highness. “So it is declared, in this world there is no greater pain than loss, hopelessness, obscurity, and confusion. Grief creates nightmares of death, and loneliness creates the fear of eternal darkness. For it is then decreed, that all of the Northern tribe, and native tribes who dare stand against Solaris, and his blessed, that they shall feel a similar pain, death is a mercy, we shall make them beg for it.” -Athrien’Timasi, Snows maiden S.Y 1770- Battle of Top Rock The Red Sun Manslaughter. (S.Y 1871) The ‘solarii after a long trek finally came upon the tribal camp, It was then, during such night, when they arose over the hill the prince saw many of the tribes people, with the stolen trebuchets and cannons and all that he had in store. He demanded a full raid, to tear down every wall, turn every table, barrel, floor carpet. To leave no life behind, and to release all anger that was within the hearts of his men. The leader, who was there- fought the prince, yet was no match for his skill in axe to axe combat. In the end, it was said that the ashes of the fire mixed with some blood, and created a red colored smoke, in which enveloped the sky creating a red sun as well. This slaughter was recorded to leave seven hundred thousand bodies, hanged, flayed, cut, pierced. The Mali’solarii citizens, heard of this slaughter, and the other princes too, they condemned their fellow brother, and his actions, making it a royal crime, that a prince should not commit manslaughter for it is not the way of which Solaris intended. The Solaric Spiritual War (S.Y 1882) Spoiler It was then that the three princes grew ill, and they began to weaken. The many physicians who had sought to treat and mend the prince's illnesses were simply not able to. Because of this, the princes knew they had little time left in their lives. A tribal group named by the Ikibiki had began to pray to a spirit unknown to the Sun elves, they themselves asked the Stellabri of Solaris, and had asked whether the tribesmen were truly spiritualist, in a sense, Ritaa, the spirit of Order, and war, had claimed they were, however were praying to a much darker and sinister cannibalistic spirit. They claimed that the spirit had no intentions of making itself known, and it was because of the Followings influence, and a deserting witch doctor, that the Swamp tribe, had gotten their hands on the knowledge of invoking the spirits and weaving curses. This had Upset the high keeper, who believed they and they alone at the time, had the only right to worship spirits. In accordance with the Third prince, who was more aligned with the spirits, Jantis’timasi, Had declared to bring the best farseers, and conduct a spirit walk to figure out this spirit. When they did so, they found an empty void, there they saw a monstrosity, one that had casted them out from its realm and back to their corporeal bodies. The Third prince was convinced that he needed to stop this blasphemy, and to assure the survival of his blessed- he deemed a cleansing of the Swamp valah and Mali. And so began a five year long war against the Ikibiki: The Solaric Spiritual War The Spiritual war did not exactly begin immediately that day, many within the government did not wish to support the idea of a religious war, to keep the publication of religion not being forced within the nation itself. However with the increase in pagans and threats to gatherers and farmers outside the great silver barrier, the idea of the city ignoring the issue would also pose a threat to their public view. Nevertheless they embarked on a great endeavor to solve this issue. They began to drive off the bandits and those who were outsiders and or working with the swamp tribe. However that did not work and they were overwhelmed with many small villages being raided and pillaged. They soon began to realize that the scarring left behind by the witches of the swamp, who were nicknamed after the fact they hexed their own land. They needed more support behind the fact to drive off the tribal forces. In retaliation, the Third prince, and the other two princes, agreed that the great cleansing should take place. They amassed an equal number to the First war, however they had more shamans present than before, deeming themselves as Knights of Ritaa. Blessed by the lesser star of order and war. Battle of Golden Rye field (S.Y 1886) A small force of fifty thousand were immediately deployed in advance as the main force of the Sol’tarrio and Knights of Ritaa began to prepare themselves for the bigger fight. This small force did not expect a greater amassing of Ikibiki warriors, and the battle that ensued was located in the main farm fields of the golden city. Because the realm had simply only one large farm field and smaller villages contributing a portion of their harvest as well, the key point to their food supply was found in Silmane Lodge. This was owned by a farmer named Walter Barteli. A half Valah, half Aherral, who was banished from the city, however was still able to obtain a home outside the city and claim his citizenship. However it came at a higher price than usual, the farm field in which he owned must be used to feed the entire city. When the battle came to his and his families doorstep it seemed almost futile to defend against the ammasinge eight hundred thousand tribal warriors, where they merely sent a defense force of fifty thousand. Sadly it was recorded that the family was evacuated but at the cost of the defense force. They soon lost the key strategic supply point of the farm field to the tribal warriors. Upon hearing the amount of warriors, the three princes knew that they had to deal with this threat to their reign right away, and had conscripted twice the amount of warriors that the Ibikiki had amassed themselves. Their first battle, was a retaking of their fields, the tribes men fought to the bitter end, however they were no match for the Sol’tarrio who had many battle ready and hard experienced warriors who have seen battle many times and over. A field battle took place both sides clashed and the Sun elves came victorious but at the cost of the field being destroyed and unusable. Battle Of the Dark swamp (S.Y 1886-87) It was years end, and progress in the war was stagnant. Both sides have made skirmishes against each other in order to break through the defensive lines which they themselves have drawn. However in the year 1786 a commander, a mere commoner named Darthin Hisio Mah’nel. Came up with a strategy for a breakthrough. The swamps were far and wide aside from the plain, it is assumed that the defensive line only ran as far as the Sol’tarrio line did. He explained by using this deception they could flank the enemy, by taking a long trek across the mountains and around them, into the swamp where we’d meet them inside their own homelands. While the commanders seemingly ran out of options, Virion adhered to the plan and commanded the Young Mahnel to take a dozen men (12,000) and march across and around the mountain. To ambush the enemy forces. However, the trek was underestimated and way beyond what they had anticipated. They assumed the trek would be a mere four months, however it was to their surprise that the journey took around a full seven months, a full year. And by that point the dozen soon turned to a mere nine thousand due to natural causes. However in the year 1787, they launched a series of guerrilla attacks against the Ikibiki forces, and managed to break the lines, when the commanders got word they immediately ordered a full scale Calvert charge of their chariots and horsemen. They rammed through the enemy’s defenses and circled the platoons of tribesmen every step of the way back to their main city. At that point they were managing to win the war, as they prepared to lay siege to the tribe's camp. In the end. During the second month, the Ikibiki suffered a similar fate than the Tholuk northern tribe, those that survived gathered and hid away, abiding their time and scheming for the future. After the war they deemed the prince conqueror of the Ikibiki and reclaimer of the swamplands. They awarded him a orca, in which they also nicknamed him the black orca prince. However at home, the war never ended. The Grand Civil War (S.Y 1888-89) Spoiler Whilst at home, after the wars, much of the economy had been ruined by constant repairing and manufacturing for commerce. For the first time- Sol’tamartha began trade with bigger realms, like the Holy Orenian Empire, and Haelun’nor. These realms foresaw the Sun elves as weak and seen their way of living frail and insufficient. That most trades were almost pitiful. The ‘Solarii began to sell fish, and sea cuttery; in an attempt to make some sort of revenue and (or) mina off their trades with the bigger nations. With luck- they were able to continue trade with Elvenesse. Even with all these changes, they were still deep in debt, as they had asked other realms and vassals for mina. This would ultimately lead to higher taxation upon the people of Sol’Tamartha and the fields of wheat which were owned by the people, soon were evicted and reaped from the hands of the hard working sun elf. Protests soon began to ensue, demanding the land to be returned to those who raised it, and to those who lived within it. The three princes now demanded order upon their land, and their people. The newest general, Kina’khel nick name the Reaper is demanded by the Third and first prince to bring order to the city, and eliminate any revolutionaries that may insite radical change in the hearts of everyone. The Second prince, now Ill, asked his brothers in a inspirational quote recorded by a servant in a journal: “If we vyll bring order to tor’u home. How can wi’ look upon tor’u people as we take their order and peace?” -Athien’Timasi Ignorance turned to foolishness, and so in response, the second prince was dethroned and executed. And upon the Guillitine the prince spoke to his people, claiming his final decree upon them, a final will, and final command, this would historically be known as the final order. “To my Mali’Solarii, my llirii, my Ochem’ii and Ochem’aa. Listen for E’ am ni gone, for E’ will still be with ti, fight for order, for tir order, for tir peace. Fight for change, and let them ni bring us to extinction!” -Athien’Timasi The Civil war, in much was unrecorded, but it is known that many of the battles that took within it, were never successful for the rebels who fought for the final order. However the records that followed, were the aftermath of the Civil war and how the city slowly descended into ruin. In a long time, the city did not have rulers, and much law was ran by houses controlling small sections of the used to be golden city. However in such vaccum of power the remaining families of Sol’tamartha rose to the occasion to regain control of the lost anarchy filled city. Era of the Golden Sun set (S.S.Y 0001) Spoiler As the world around them was falling apart, The Solarii foresaw once more their extinction, and it was time for new leaders to rise and lead their people to new lands. The Sun elves knew how much trouble they were in and how much trouble they were soon going to be in if they stayed behind, foolishly believing that their home will be hidden to the forces of which had destroyed many other cities. It was at this moment the final three families of Sun elves took upon copies of all the records and knowledge with them and began to plan for the city's defenses. Mah’nel, Timasi, and Aelrothi all began to form the Oligarchy government, known as the Solaric Parliament. The Solaric parliament held the city together again, and common folk, participated in the parties which were made within the parliament. However no records were found of things they did in the government. The Fall of Sol’Tamartha With much luck, the mali’Solarii held their ground with small bandit skirmishes that came from outside surviving forces, Vikings and other dark entities who attempted to feast upon the citizenry. It was however noticeable that the raids became frequent and more difficult to fend off back to back. The General Kina’khel, began to also execute citizens who expressed revolutionary ideas, bodies would be stacked upon each other on a frequent basis due to a decree made by the parliament to stop a rebellion form happening again. This decision along with many others, created a path for downfall of society and unity amongst the Sol’Taloniis. And upon the invasion of evil, the city would befall to darkness and despair. Or did they? The Dark star, The Final battle of Survival, the Invasion of Evil. (S.S.Y 29) “For it was then- the Sun elves saved many but sacrificed themselves and their lives for survival. Truth be told, being a human living amongst them, was not a bad experience. They were a proud set of people, one day- I hope to see them again.” - Keegan Kruger When the forces of evil came ashore of their land, it was in fact not a surprise, and much of what was left of the Sol’tarrio had been preparing for this exact threat. They made towers of cannons, and water walls mounted with ballistas, they prepared ornaments within their great city, and they gained their hands on Alchemically treated weapons that allowed them to gain the advantage in the field. Nevertheless the combat began, and soon turned against the ‘Solarii as they got trampled on by an encirclement strategy.made by the enemy, and this would be seen in all checkpoints reaching the walls. And when the hordes of iblees reached the walls of the elven principality, they soon too in great horrifying speed crumbled after much damage was made. The citizens of the ‘had-been’ golden city, fled to the escape vessels which were ready to sail off. However they realized to get it working the ship's anchor had to be raised, a hard decision was given to the Three remaining families, and those within the ship. The Mah’nel, and Timasi offered themselves as sacrificial lambs to buy time, the knights and Sol’tarrio waterrio who were holders of those names, created a platoon of men called the Misen-wak’t (Final Stop), their only order, was to stand stalwart and draw the line the enemy will never pass, Whilst they battled with the darkspawn forces, those within the ship worked to get themselves moving, pushing and toiling to raise the anchor. The Platoon however had retreated all the way to the port district, where the citizens were evacuating from, they began to poush back- and when the sails lowered and the shout of the anchor being raised, the famous words deemed by a knight of Timasi then shouted “NO MALI SHALL TURN BACK, NO MALI SHALL STEP BACK.” “NI AZIERE, NI WAK’ERE!” (No retreat, No surrender) These final words of the Misen-wak’t were seen before they set sail, inspiring those on the ship to never turn back and look back at their destroyed home. Conclusion In the end, the dozens of denizens who fled from tamartha were never found. It is told that their blood faded in many elven and half elven lineages, spreading amongst the world like a wild fire. However one thing was for certain, is that they made it to the lands of Almaris. Their records hidden in the crevices of realms who opposed elven kind, or the ideals of spiritualism or simply other elven kin. These elves would return together as a nomadic group scaling the planes, however; they soon disappeared in the anals of history, forgotten and dispersed amongst other cultures and societies, who do not see them as anything else but servantry or tools. Spoiler Another great Piece! And this would be the last historical piece in a long time, for the Mali'Solarii. Many other pieces that come from the elder scrolls, would detail other small cutlural side pieces in which transcribe to our current Sun elven city Helious! I am so happy to release this to all of LOTC, and I thank those who have supported my idea from the get-go, its amazing to see many people taking intreast to our funny little Star loving, sun kissing elves. If you ever have questions, or wish to play a sun elf, please messege me at teawithFrisket on discord!.
