TO THE MALI'FENN OF AEVOS.

[Isvinity 729]

 

[!] A missive spreads across the realm bearing the seal of the royal house of TUNDRAK, addressed to the REMNANT BLOODLINES and all those surviving MALI'FENN which made the crossing to Aevos, with the exception of the denounced ATMORICE. The noticeboards of HAENSE, NORLAND, REINMAR, AND NEVAEHLEN bear similar messages.

TO THE MALI'FENN OF AEVOS –

 

Though our tomes and records have been lost to the Cataclysms, it is writ across our storied past that the mali’fenn have time and time again eschewed the realms which have served to forge the united front of Elvendom. We have forgotten that just as our people have found strength and veneration on the fringes of these societies, we achieved more when we stood alongside them. It was on Arcas during the War of the Two Emperors that Aelthir II assembled the ranks of Elvendom behind the banner of Wyrvun and checked the advance of the Empire of Man. It was on Almaris that Vytrek’s yawning vision of grandiose shepherded the people of Iker’fiyem and Nor-Velyth unto the era of The Grand Embrace of Malinor. These ascents, though wrought by our steel, would have been incomplete were we to have been alone.

 

Yet, as the decades have unfurled and our people scattered with the ravages of time, our unity has frayed. Too proud to embrace a diminished station, us mali’fenn once again chose to forsake our kin and estrange ourselves from modern Elvendom. I am no innocent in this; when the great realm of Almaris met its ruin and we undertook the perilous voyage to this continent, I abandoned my duties out of fear, for my ideals did not align with our sovereigns of yore and we have long been a stubbornly traditional people. 

 

It is now, at the turn of the century in the rising AGE OF ELVES, that I see our people have borne the grievous cost of this isolationism. I believe that it is change that will deliver us to greatness again; that our survival need no longer mean our suffering.

 

With the blessings and benediction of my forebears I seek to amend these long-standing errors and to reunite our kin under the banner of Cauróst and The Khanate, where the people are honorable and the values of a warrior are not so unlike our own. Should service to the coming age foster the return of our people to safety, security, and prominence, then it is a cause deserving of our utmost dedication.

 

So I say this – to the mali’fenn bereft of hearth and home, and to those who have not found it within The Fennic Palatine, I implore you to return to me your name and place of dwelling, that I might send an envoy to journey you safely to Cauróst so we may all speak face to face. It is only together that we can restore the wellbeing of the mali’fenn, and so it is TOGETHER that these decisions must be made.

 

Let us point our blades to the future, and dispel the fears of the past, as one. 

 

 

SIGNED, 

 

PRINCESS ORSINA AELYRA TUNDRAK

Archon of the Tundrak Bloodline

"She possesses a zeal not unlike my own," softly notes Galahad to one of his councillors, Marywen @Kiiztria. "Burning, bright, and hot to the touch. How far do you think that kind of thing can take a blind woman?"

A lost Mali'fenn of Vortice would look upon the letter, first with amazement, then with a reserved sigh. Be it her own talonnii or the once-vagrant who had found their purpose, one thing was clear: her kin was lost, or went in other directions. She was no different in that regard.

 

Still, who is her to snuff out another's flames of ambition? Perhaps she shall pay her lost Princess a visit.

"In the absence of the eyes - not merely the strength of the body is that which is sharpened, but that of the mind, the wits."

 

"What will she be, when her eyes are returned to her?" The tribesman thought, then. Perhaps he would offer such a thing, one day. 

 

One day.

"Let us hope her flame does not burn the wick too quickly, Galahad. Otherwise perhaps she, like Veluc and I, will restore some bastion of hope for a people so lost." She commented as she absently polished her dulling blade.

A far away 'fenn frowns. . .

"Elves sucking up to Orcs? To weak to defend themselves, huh?" A priest by the name of Vasyl laughs.

“It is the brightest of flames that burn out the quickest.” An ancient Atmorice-Drakon mused from the safety of her palatial quarters, a document carrying a number of signatures laid out on the desk to her side. “I shall enjoy seeing this one being consumed by it..”

[Altered 82]

"The gall of a Tundrak to use their bloodline's name to put the 'fenn under the heel of another once more, while not having any ability to lead her people. The Tundraks failed Wyrvun and his children, the Drakons have put more effort into 'fenn unity than our supposed royal line." The Archon Tathvir shook her head at the missive.

Glynfir scoffed at what he had just read. “More fools rushing headlong into the Khanate’s thorned embrace. The irony of calling such nonsense ‘an age of elves’…..”
