The Declaration Of An Elven Republic!

[TheNander 241]

The Declaration of an Elven Republic

 

 

A hooded Melcindómien "Melcin" Caundaugion (Mehl-kin-doe-mee-ehn Cown-dowg-ee-on) in ERA uniform stands near the entrance of Malinor in the city square. He takes out a scroll and begins reading. After awhile (2nd Paragraph), he strays from the scroll, and begins rallying the Elven people.

 

          Elven men and Elven women! In the name of Malin and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of nationhood, Malinor, through us, summons her children to fight for her freedom! Having organized and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organization, the Elven Republican Army, now is seizing the moment and being supported by her children from all over Anthos, is choosing to take action!

 

         We declare the right of the people of Malinor to the ownership of Malinor and to the unfettered control of Elven destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a corrupt council of bureaucrats has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Elven people. Malinor is in need of a Republic, a government for the people chosen by the people. I am calling upon you! You the elven people, to step forward and show your support for the New Republic, for the Elven Republican Army, for Malinor!

 

((OOC Notes:

 

Please make an RP post with your support and interest in joining or supporting the ERA in this thread or by other means if you wish to in RP approach me privately. Villain applications are not required to join the ERA, but to do anything villainous you NEED to have a villain application. If you are not an elf and wish to provide support in minas, food, and weapons, feel free to approach me IC.

 

Please also note that this is not a power grab by myself. This is a paramilitary force I am leading and using to back a candidate that will be chosen by us and most likely supported by the Elven people. This is not an army set on attacking other nations. Regardless of whether or not you support this cause there will be exciting RP for all, I promise you that. I've been planning this for a few days now and so far it's looking pretty well.))

Wolf Druid Ouity watches the rally unfold, and shakes his head sadly. He brushes off his robe absentmindedly as a call to war is unleashed. The rally to arms, the trumpets that call for the shedding of blood. An army. 

 

"How far they have fallen..." Ouity muses to himself. "To  call for war is to simply dig yourself a deeper hole! Beware, elf, for you walk a slippery slope."

 

Ouity parts with the warning call, wandering back into the forest, limping heavily on one leg, his robes swirling around him as he fades into the thick brush.

*Feeling the day was too cheery to spend holed up in her tower, Azorella meanders about the capital before spotting the demonstration. She listens to the whole of it, grunting when 'rights' are mentioned and grumbling, mostly to herself, "This is the first I've heard of someone actually declaring a form of rights... goodness, it's like some Mali feel entitled to some strange concept of 'liberty' that isn't even on paper nor official in any way I've seen. Perhaps the garrulous will finally pass a referendum of sorts on all these entitlements they feel they need to have..." She grumbles a tad bit more in a quieter tone before tittering off, "Funny how some haven't grasped this... Strange ways the world works."

[Lord_Sauron_ 43]

Vanir, a very dark and menacing look about him, holds his chin up high as he speaks.

"Now it comes. The Mali have had enough. I am beyond fury at what I recently discovered... If this organization knows nothing else, they must know this."

Vanir scribbles a note on the declaration:

People will kill you if you do not watch yourself. Be on guard, and trust no one. Especially not the council.

"Thank you for your support, my good man."

 

Melcin watches Vanir write a note on the declaration. He looks the man in the eye and nods understandingly.

Meta takes one look at the list of demands by the newest form of rebellion; his eyes shining brightly as he leans back and begins to laugh. His laughter lasted a few seconds before he finally settled himself down into a semi capable state of being before shaking his head. "Yet another fool decides the best means of gaining their way is through idealism without ideas. Have they even bothered to /try/ to discuss their plans ahead with the current council. We are elves; yet we act as if we are some crude form of beast waiting for the nearest pile of meat to be slooped in front of us. I wish I could say it is the youth of the elves; yet I am only in my thirties and they act like mad children." He finishes softly before turning sharply to begin walking away.

Faendal calls out form the growing crowd

 

As a wood elf sea captain who defected from Malinor due to mistreatment and disagreement with the council, I would like to discuss my and my ship's allegiance to the ERA.  I am owner and captain of The Snapdragon, a 20 gun brig sloop privateering vessel currently under the service of House Silverblade.  However, former allegiances can be broken off if it means rescuing my beloved nation from the chains of oppression.  Our extensive combat experience are sure to assist in your fight.

 

((Edit: changed 'pledge' to 'discuss'))

[Lord_Sauron_ 43]

Vanir shouts after Meta.

"Don't you realize? Are you so blind you cannot see the obvious? When someone wishes to talk to the council, the council hides or worse! We had plans, specific ones...! And now the one who...."

Vanir cuts off, abruptly.

"This is not the end. Justice will be had," he growls under his breath.

[MetaSolaray 242]

Turning to Vanir he smiles at him softly with the expression akin to staring at a child as he adds, "Noble Mali I have quite literally walked into their chambers, submitted the beginnings of an economic reform and they were delighted to see an actual idea being thrown at them instead of another rebellion. Literally...I just walked directly in there...even listened into one of their meetings they allowed me to sit on."
