I. Rebuking the Slander

This section will address the following concerns:

• The use of intimidation at the Celia’nor Ball of Valor.
• Refusal to discuss grievances in private.
• Ill-informed confrontation against Buttons Montague and ‘Tomes.’
• Inappropriate use of Diraar authority in a private expedition.
• Unsubstantiated claims of upholding Diraar standards.
• Repeated insults toward fellow Musin.

Use of Intimidation at the Celia’nor Ball of Valor & Refusal to Discuss Issues Privately

In the year 222 of the Second Age, Celia’nor hosted the Ball of Valor to celebrate promotions and achievements. During this event, Buttons Montague privately approached Marigold to inquire about her passive-aggressive behavior toward him. Rather than addressing the matter civilly, she accused him of disrespect without explanation and abruptly left the conversation. She then directed her affiliate, Mat, to intervene, who responded with insults and mockery, attempting to remove Buttons from the event. Instead of engaging in meaningful discourse, Marigold resorted to coercion and avoidance—conduct unbecoming of nobility.

Ill-informed confrontation Against Buttons Montague and ‘Tomes’

Two Saint’s years ago, Marigold confronted Buttons, accusing him of tarnishing the Musin reputation and claiming he had insulted Estinien Mah’nel alongside ‘Tomes.’ However, the one who verbally abused Estinien was an individual known as ‘Charms.' Despite lacking evidence, Marigold launched personal attacks against Buttons rather than seeking the truth—another indication of her lack of integrity.

Inappropriate Use of Diraar Authority in a Private Expedition

During a recent expedition to prevent a meteor from striking The Divide, Buttons and Marigold were part of a voidal research group traversing a desert. Buttons discovered a keg containing an unidentified liquid and, after drinking it, was thrown into the air alongside two others. Following the mission’s success, Marigold reprimanded Buttons at the Ball of Valor, claiming he had disobeyed orders as a Diraar officer. However, the directive not to drink unknown substances was only issued after the incident occurred, and the Diraar had no official involvement in the expedition. Her attempt to exert authority in an unrelated matter suggests a misuse of her title.

Unsubstantiated Claims of Upholding Diraar Standards

At the same Ball of Valor, Buttons believed he was not part of the Diraar Musin Corps. Marigold responded, "Good, because we have standards." However, neither she nor her group has earned any tilru—the measure of a Diraar’s contributions—while Buttons has accumulated over 150 tilru through combat and service. Her lack of contribution contradicts her claim of maintaining high standards.

Repeated Insults Toward Fellow Musin

Over the past four Saint’s years, Marigold has consistently demeaned Buttons Montague, making baseless derogatory remarks and refusing to engage in constructive dialogue. She has labeled him "incompetent," accused him of having "amnesia," and dismissed him as "unfit to be a Musin." Furthermore, her subordinates have referred to him as a ****ing rat." Such conduct is unbecoming of a noble and undermines the values of unity and respect.

II. A True Nor’onn

To be a Nor’onn Musin of House Serendipity is to embody "integrity, hard work, and goodwill through cultural philanthropy, and, of course, the spirit of adventure." True Nor’onn figures such as Snooks, Knave, and Julep exemplify these traits. Furthermore, a Nor’onn must "rise through the ranks of the Diraar," serve the crown diligently, and exhibit "unity and resilience."

 

---

III. Marigold’s Falsehood

Marigold fails to uphold these noble ideals:

• She has demonstrated neither integrity nor hard work, choosing instead to belittle others and shirk responsibility.
• Rather than serving the nation, she has focused on personal endeavors, delegating tasks to subordinates like Mat.
• She has not risen through the Diraar ranks but was instead given the title of Dion’sil without earning a single tilru.
• She does not serve as a royal advisor and has provided no substantial contributions beyond constructing a building—an effort matched by Buttons, who built the Ibarellan Pizzeria.
• She claims to embody unity and resilience, yet abandoned Babblebrook in its time of need against the Lurak orcs, prioritizing her own interests over the welfare of her people.

Marigold’s appointment as Nor’onn is undeserved. She does not uphold the virtues expected of a noble and has repeatedly acted in ways that contradict the responsibilities of her title.

Conclusion

I bore no ill will toward Marigold until she insulted and slandered me. I attempted to address these matters privately, yet she refused and publicly broadcasted our conversation. Given her unwillingness to resolve matters civilly, I see no alternative but to expose the truth, so others may recognize the facade she presents.

A blonde sat perched at the edge of her seat, fingers clutching the parchment before a sharp snort escaped her. "Wait, WAIT. The Musin are fighting?" 

A pause. Then, realization.

"Oh, my stars, I have to find my husband… and then Raziel." A bubbling laugh spilled from her lips, quickly escalating into full-blown cackling. She gathered up the paper, still breathless with amusement, before rushing off.

"Ah."

 

she scoffed

 

"Lions don't turn around when small dogs bark."

 

she rolled her eyes, crumpling the missive.

 

"A fool as always."

False Accusations Against Buttons Montague and ‘Tomes’

Two Saint’s years ago, Marigold confronted Buttons, accusing him of tarnishing the Musin reputation and claiming he had insulted Estinien Mah’nel alongside ‘Tomes.’ However, an investigation revealed that the true offender was an individual known as ‘Charms,’ who had made disparaging remarks about Estinien. Despite lacking evidence, Marigold launched personal attacks against Buttons rather than seeking the truth—another indication of her lack of integrity.

 

@Kabo0m

[!] A private letter would be penned to buttons baring the crest of Mah'nel

Spoiler

Only buttons may know this information irply

 

Buttons, It has come to my attention that you did indeed insult my son and that you issued a formal apology to him. I suggest you allow this particular issue to rest and accept responsibility and accountability for your actions like you have thus far. Denying it will only bring unwanted trouble to your door. 

 

Signed,

Jarad Mah’nel, Progenitor of the Mah’nel bloodline

 

[Kabo0m 118]

A private letter was returned to Jarad Mah'nel.

 

Lord Commander, the words I said to Estinien was that some people crave power and push others down to achieve it. I said most people like me and him are belittled by others. Charms was the one who referred to Estinien in a derogatory way. Marigold still confronted me about said issue which doesn't change. The other four points still stand, the one that needs to be held accountable is Marigold "Nor'onn."
 

[Tael 216]

In one of the many times Tomes would pass over Celian'or, he'd take a gander at the missive as his eyes squinted at it as he seemed to catch his name being flaunted about in it.

"How am I even involved in this mess..? I was never accused of anything, I just had Estinien and Buttons talk with one another."

Perhaps for obvious reasons, the magus seemed atleast a bit miffed about having his name included in a missive of this type. He clicked his tongue and added

"Estinien Man'hel is literally my student... I must address Buttons about this."

[DrFong 226]

Knave cringed seeing Musin fight amongst themselves, "There is only one proper, noble way to handle such insults: egg duel at twenty paces."

[Millawolf 16]

Julep read the missive looking increasingly confused.

 

”Marigold not a hard worker!? Not exemplifying our traits!?”

Grits her teeth reading further.

 

”Leave Babblebrook during its attack!? Outrageous! Lies! We left seeking our fortune before that! Perhaps that’s why she claimed he might have amnesia.”

 

Laughing Julep folded the paper up and put it in her pocket. Perhaps she could find some use for it.
