"No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence"

In reverence to the sacred oaths etched in the annals of our history and sealed with the shedding of blood, the Ranaleth clan solemnly commits to unwavering loyalty towards the true descendants of Malin, specifically pledging allegiance to the venerable Sylaveri bloodline and its esteemed nation. Henceforth, the Ranaleth lineage is cast as an indispensable clan in Amathine's history, cementing their position as a noble family whose name holds importance exclusively within the confines of Amathine's territories. This pledge not only binds the Ranaleth clan to the legacy of Malin but also solidifies their integral role in the trees of Amathine's rich ranks.

 

ARTICLE I THE BEGINNING:

 

The Ranaleth clan solemnly embraces the way of Mali, pledging unwavering loyalty to the Sylvaeri's reign and consciously renouncing the belligerent inclinations associated with Celia’nor's war lust. This sacred oath is declared as an irrevocable commitment, with the understanding that any breach shall invoke a dire consequence. This looming consequence will befall the entirety of the Ranaleth bloodline, both in the present and the generations yet to come. The gravity of this vow is underscored by the ominous specter of an eternal curse that shall forever shadow the lineage of the Ranaleth, a warning to continue the irrevocable nature of their commitment to the principles of Malin and the Sylvaeri's rule.

 

I. The Ranaleth clan steadfastly avows a commitment to refrain from engaging in acts of war or conquest against any individual bearing Mali's blood, except in cases where such actions are deemed necessary for the greater good, specifically to safeguard Amathine or protect the interests of their own clan. In embracing this pledge, they consciously disassociate themselves from any endeavors initiated by Celia’nor that seek to instigate needless conflict and bring about unnecessary death upon the land.

 

II. The Ranaleth clan, in a definitive declaration, hereby revokes any prior oath made to those falsely claiming Malin's heritage. This action is taken to reaffirm their allegiance to the authentic descendants of Malin, particularly the Sylaveri bloodline. To safeguard the sanctity of this commitment, any individual who presumptuously proclaims and uses the Ranaleth name beyond the borders of Amathine's territories will face severe consequences. Such transgressors will be subject to banishment and pursuit. Consequently, using the Ranaleth clan's determination to preserve the integrity of their name and legacy exclusively within the confines of Amathine and under the gazes of Ava and Ranni.

 

III. Despite the Ranaleth clan's departure from Celia’nor, their ever-lasting alliance with the Py’lrie family persists. Their commitment extends to collaborating with the Py’lrie family in their pursuit of vanquishing the wicked and establishing a realm of tranquility, as articulated in THE UTOPIA PACT. It's essential to clarify that this pact is not crafted for the benefit of only Celia’nor; rather, it serves as an announcement of the unbreakable connection between the two families of their ancient friendship to create a land of peace that goes past the confines of individual nations and as such, It will not be used for any political maneuver for both sides. Otherwise, it shall be considered as breaking the Pact.

 

ARTICLE II THE TRUTH:

 

The Ranaleth clan upholds truth and honor. Thus, they intend to shed light on the lies and deceit of Celia’nor, and the reasoning behind their departure:

 

I. Illarion, The short-tongued fool, betrayed the foundational pact forged between Ava Ranaleth and Illyria Ibarellan by infringing upon the promise of their initial oath. He callously barred Ava from participating in matters of national importance due to her physical appearance and employed manipulative tactics to sway her into thinking otherwise. In doing so, he violated the agreed-upon principle of refraining from passing judgment on how the Ranaleth chose to present themselves.

 

This breach of trust not only shattered the accord established between Ava and Illyria but also put in plain sight Illarion's disregard for the fundamental tenets of their agreement. By selectively excluding Ava based on superficial judgments and comments, he not only demonstrated a lack of etiquette but also contradicted the very essence of their initial words– a commitment to acceptance and understanding between friends and allies, irrespective of appearances. Illarion's deeds are proof of his treacherous nature.

 

II. Illarion with a thought for deceit, embarked on a dubious mission to suggest enlisting members of the Ranaleth clan to spy on their elven allies, including Nor-Velyth, Amathine, and Haelun’or. His objective was to maintain an eye over them and extract any valuable information. In addition to this clandestine operation, Illarion maliciously propagated a false rumor suggesting that Haense supported the wicked Valyris in her conflict against the Ranaleth. This planned move aimed to convince the Ranaleth to side with Celia’nor during the ensuing conflict while attempting to feign innocence and divert blame. Such manipulative tactics stand in contrast to the ideals the Ranaleth clan purportedly upholds. He also believed that Amathine would have become an obstacle due to the warmongering culture of Celia’nor and the peaceful ways of Amathine being completely different.

 

III. Illarion, and Illyria the absent; together, orchestrated a deceitful scheme to manipulate Húrin Ibarellan. They cunningly led him to believe that the prince title held significance, taking advantage of his aspirations for titles, all the while intending to covertly reclaim the name "Celia’nor" as quoted by Illarion. In a deceitful declaration, Illarion asserted around the lines of; "We granted him a title merely as a means of maintaining distance and keeping him at bay. Both his title and that of Malinor will hold no significance within Celia'nor." Furthermore, in the recent arrival of the Nullivari family, he acknowledged that they are supporters of Valyris and called them enemies behind their backs. The Ranaleth clan does not support this deceit even If their opinion regarding Malinor may not be as positive or have quite not a grand friendship with the Nullivari family. 

 

IV. The Ranaleth clan does not support the war that Celia’nor leadership has forced their people into. It’s not the way of Mali to get involved in human politics and put one’s people at risk. It was not decided through a public vote or meeting between councilors either. Whilst the Ranaleth weren’t forced to partake in the war, such a conflict has brought disgrace for they allied with orcs who butchered their people betwixt their square or found faceless corpses in front of their home. The Celianorian leadership acted purely only to achieve political power, rather than for the benefit of the Mali of Celia’nor. Henceforth, the Ranaleth clan does not support the purpose of this conflict.

 

 

In summary, the Ranaleth clan unequivocally commits to refraining from initiating conflict or causing harm to any citizen of Celia’nor or its leadership, unless met with aggression. Their stance is one of non-aggression and self-defense, pointing out that as long as they are left undisturbed and free to depart Celia’nor's lands, they will not engage in hostilities.

 

The invocation of this blood pact is a reminder and a call for awareness. Illarion's breach of the pact precedes any other transgressions, making it important for all parties to TAKE HEED. The Ranaleth assert that a true warrior doesn't rely solely on a sword, and this pact is intended to open the eyes of those involved. Proudly returning to Amathine, the Ranaleth clan envisions a future built on the foundations of peace, displaying their commitment to harmony and positive desires for the days to come.

             "OATHBREAKER."                           "PATHETIC."

 

 

In her maddened state, in her conflicted mind. She could already hear the many echoes and weeps that sought to blame her. Alas, in her pride, she thought she remained loyal to her people through and through. Only a smile lingered across Ava's visage as she stared at the missive, her visage bearing a tired look only to think about the aftermath. Hopefully, the conflict will end here for her! However, a last remark was given amidst the chaos. Safe in her manor.

 

"Unfortunately for you all; History will not see me that way."

A dark elf stares down at the missive. She pauses, then goes to a desk drawer. Pulling forth, other, and older missives from the land of Almaris. Pursing her lips out, then offering a shrug. 

"This woman hops kingdoms like a wench hops brothers in a tavern...very...ironic." 

"We'll see if my path crosses her own. A peculiar woman."

"Who could have thought that the Ranaleth would run under pressure... they were so eager to abandon Idril! Calling her incompetent and idle." - "In a decade they will dwell in Nor-Velyth or Haelun'or." Then, Raziel just shrugged, going back to constructions.

A tired veteran Celia'norian looks over the missive, seeing a few of the names caught her attention, ones that would be considered kin, ones that promised to stick with Celia'nor no matter what just barely over 2 Elven Weeks ago. Because they wanted to avoid conflict, plain and simple. And it disgusted her, anger boiled in her veins. "How does one get strong.. When they flee at the first sign of trouble? These new names thinking they carry weight because they have been touched by forces beyond, yet I can't think of a single thing this family has done for Celia'nor." she remarks "They should know peace is a lie, presented by the weak and frail that are unable to push themselves to be strong, so they can backstab those they hate because they couldn't come face to face with their foes." 

She took a seat, as a tome appeared out of thin air upon the table she was sat, she calmed herself with some remarks.

"Not often a cancer cuts itself out. Though I don't think they're suited for Amathine, perhaps they should find Braxus and his ilk."

Serigne Py'lrie peered towards the news, glancing between her son and her daughter in law. Nose scrunched up, the elfess shook her head in disapproval, offering an extended hand to the both of them and spoke, "Come to me with all news of- this... We'll respond of this together in time." She assured the two, though with a tad hint of annoyance.

"The Mistress is home"  Ember echoed as she began to walk her halls, practicing her gracefull walking manners.

"I must present myself to her soon" She rolled up the missive as she.

Seated within the hallowed sanctuary of her family estate, Lady Ro'ya Nullivari's regal composure remained unruffled as her viridescent gaze hovered over the missive. Her sharp brows furrowed at the mention of the Nullivari name and the subsequent web of lies weaved by Ava Ranaleth.

 

"The True Celianorian," the matriarch spoke, a melodious laugh escaping from her maw, "That is the only truthful deceit written within these pages." With a calculated air, Lady Ro'ya rose from her ornate chair, and with deliberate motion, she set the parchment ablaze within the hearth, watching as the flames consumed the falsehoods. With casual grace, she resumed the rhythmic task of sharpening her blade.
