ISSUED ON THE

11th OF THE DEEP COLD IN THE YEAR OF 227 S.A.

SENT BY

THE PRINCIPALITY OF HELIOUS AND THE REMINANTS OF CELIA’NOR

 

To Aevos:

Let it be recorded for history, etched into the records of truth, and carried across the lands of Aevos by bird and breath alike, what has come to pass between the Nation of Celia’nor and the people of Helious was not born from ambition, nor from petty rivalry, nor from the hunger for power. It was born from betrayal. It was born from broken oaths. It was born from the failure of leadership.

Now, it must be answered.

It is the acknowledgement of Celia’nor and its own citizens that the rebellion of Helious is justified to all degree. The halls of their own council echo with resignation. Their own mouths admit fault. The very foundation upon which the Mah’nel family once served, loyal, unwavering, and steadfast, has crumbled not by the hand of Helious, but by the negligence and dishonor of Celia’nor itself.

Let no realm be misled. This is no rebellion born from restlessness. This is a declaration made only after every avenue of diplomacy was exhausted, every opportunity for reconciliation denied, and every appeal to justice ignored.

The Mah’nel family served the Nation of Stars with full heart and faithful hand. We rebuilt what was broken. We forged the alliances that Celia’nor threatend with its own instability. We offered stability in moments of chaos, voice in moments of silence, and strength in moments of weakness. And in return, we were undermined, slandered, and cast aside.

It was not Helious who broke the bond. It was Celia’nor.

It was not the Mah’nels who spoke treason. It was Celia’nor who whispered of coups behind closed doors. It was Celia’nor who plotted, who insulted, who refused justice to its own. The betrayal did not begin with our separation, it began long before, in the cold halls where pride sat heavier than honor.

Time and again, the Mah’nel family stood before the Council of Celia’nor to speak truth. Time and again, they were ignored, silenced, or mocked. And even when members of the Celian court themselves came forward when one of their own exposed the depth of the corruption within the leadership did nothing. They remained idle, as cowards do when faced with their own reflection.

The rebellion of Helious is not an act of war. It is an act of necessity. It is the inevitable response to a government that has abandoned its own people and violated its own sacred oaths.

Therefore, by the authority of the Mah’nel Matriarch, the Sunlit Council of Helious, and the remainder of the Celia’nor along with the last Ibarellan, we declare the following:

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Peh

The Signatories agree that the Mah’nel family vows once sworn to Celia’nor as void. A vow may only remain sacred if both sides honor it. Celia’nor has broken its vow, and so the Mah’nel are no longer bound.

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Seh

The Signatories shall no longer recognize the political or martial authority of Celia’nor and any nation that comes after it within the lands of Helious lands or among its people. Sovereignty has been claimed through right, through service, and through truth. Celia’nor and its successor has no claim to the land of Helious or its titles, neither moral nor legal.

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Teh

Helious shall become its own independent nation and be granted complete right over their land. (Tile_Midlands_39) and the land directly above (Tile_Midlands_34)

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Feh

Those citizens of Celia’nor who wish to seek refuge, who come in peace and bear no ill will, shall be welcomed in Helious with open arms. For our quarrel is not with the people, but with the system that has failed them. Celia’nor shall make an effort to direct high elven refugees to Haelun’or as per the agreement. The Signatories also agree to recognize Haelun’or as the one true high-elven nation.

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Ceh

All diplomatic treaties, noble titles, and offices once held under the Celian crown are hereby dissolved.

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Hes

Cerulia Shall be granted leave to join Helious, Go independent or do as they wish. (Independence means ceding Tile_Lonley_Moutains_2 to Mika1278)

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Heste

Urguan shall be given control of Gortek should they wish. (Tile_Lonley_Moutains_3)

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Ephi

As of the publishing of the missive the crown and lands of Celia’nor are hereby DISSOLVED. Siofra shall be granted leave to do what she wishes with the remaining land (Tile_Midlands_25, 26, 35 along with Tile_Tiga_Highlands_1 and 2).

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Nen

The land of the former noble manors shall be left to nature to deal with. (Tile_Midlands_27)

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Peh’o

It is deemed that an Ibarellan will never sit on the throne of Celia’nor again and that Celia’nor will never again rise from its ashes. It is to be forever gone. Should either party or their successors attempt to bring it back, it should be warred and destroyed post-haste.

༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ ⠀𖤓⠀༻⊰───────────────⊱༺ 

Peh’o

 Celia’nor and its successor hereby surrender to Haelun’or and will be responsible fully for the demands of Haelun’or listed in; THE FI'ANDRIA ULTIMATUM or any other agreement that Helious has not yet fulfilled.

"Pathetic." drawled the Arkon scion, shaking his head slowly. "Talonniis upon talonniis of 'fenn driven to extinction, despite their disagreements with the Principality, based purely and entirely on loyalty. We would sooner let ourselves be wiped from the face of the realm than turn on our own." he sneered, and shook his head in disgust. "You were never truly loyal. You were merely waiting for your chance." He tossed the missive aside, then.

An inevitable, a foregone conclusion; fallen star attempts to glimmer in place of the other. To be lost, endlessly searching forever-state; an almost inescapable diaspora the elvenkind meet in stages, taking turns as centuries pass. 

 

No matter the promised state of friendship and respect, it was only a facade.

 

Hate does not elevate sugar, venom does not morph saccharin.

 

Yet who was he to judge? Decades ago, he was willing to sign whatever paper, write whatever missive, or sing whatever song they asked him to if they mentioned unions of once-lost Mali’ker.
