A Corrupt Servant.

[MrSyth 636]

Walking past the notice board, you see a new note has been posted. Words written with a dark cyan ink fill the note, some written noticably larger. 

 

My fellow mali'aheral, it appears an issue has revealed itself.

 

Earlier today, I was walking to my home when I saw a man in full, dark armour. Not recognising him, I asked him who he was, and where he was going. He did not respond.

Following him to Delonna's backyard, he ignored every question I managed to send his way whilst keeping up with his inexplicable fast pace. He then procured a key and opened Delonna's back door. It is then that I realised I was talking to Delonna himself.

Asking him why he was wearing the armour, he simply responded:

"There are nicer ways to address those with authority."

This is an outrage. He implied we are to respect and look up to him because he has a title? He continued talking about how he was a medi'ir, sillumir and Laurir. The latter is nonsense. He considers himself noble, a prince, just because he holds the title of medi'ir and sillumir. My llir, we must not take what this false mali is saying without throwing it back at him. Elmedi'iran are supposed to be servants, equals, merely having the title because they took the responsibility of helping elcihi progress. He should be glad he is allowed to have such a responsibility. But have us respect him because of it? If he did it out of love for elcihi, yes. But not with his intentions. Not the way he treats his fellow mali'aheral. His neighbour. 

Delonna has become corrupt, selfish and unforfilling of his tasks. In his speech, he mentioned he'd finish elcihi. He has since then done nothing of the sorts. Instead, it has been Caelria and I who have improved the farms, Caelria himself to build elsiimah'maheral, eltilruir'indor Lelien to build two more towers in the cloud district and Iatrilemar to expand his home so he could house Ariana. And alas, I've had to build the courthouse, the very courthouse I was judged in, on my very own. Do I feel betrayed for this? No. I deserved it. But Delonna would deserve it too. He hasn't been doing his job.

For these reasons, I ask Delonna, and suggest all of you, to have him step down from his position of medi'ir and let someone else more fitting take the job. And note, that I shan't be the one taking it, as I have lost my interest in the position.

Seth raises an eyebrow as he reads it. "Hmm.. Wonder what he can say to his defence about this.." He says quietly to himself before leaving.

[Esterlen 4499]

After seeing the penned notice on one of his daily strolls throughout the city, Carduin Maeyr'onn hurries home to compile a lengthy response to what he has perceived as Silvos' erroneous words.

 

 

An hour or so later, he returns to the noticeboard to put up his response.

 

Brothers, sisters,

 

There is no doubt that we all agree that it is ever unfortunate that we have only so recently been parted, albeit perhaps only temporarily, with our glorious Sohaer, Laurir Kalenz Uradir. Even amongst our superior bloodlines a grand leader deserving of such following seldom comes. However perhaps just as bothering and disconcerting as this separation is the utterly malign and self-serving attempts of a certain Silvos Sythaerin to unwisely undermine the authority and integrity of our government.

 

It is obvious that I speak of the recently posted thesis by Mr. Sythaerin viciously attacking our good medi'ir, Laurir Delonna Aeyelesa. Within his repugnant writings, this Sythaerin sees it fit to 'bring light' to the supposed 'tyranny' of the medi'ir whilst only providing marginal and negligible evidence as to the aforementioned.

 

Within any civilized society exists a static social structure or stratification of authority so as to allow for progress, prosperity and order. In the absence of this structure, solely anarchy exists. The writings of Mr. Sythaerin prove that not only does he have no respect for such a structure, he also actively seeks to remove and dismantle it and that he considers our government to have no power over and command no respect from its citizens. The sacrifice made by our officials in order to serve the city is worthy of respect and utter obeisance. I know as a fact that our medi'ir treats us as is only proper.

 

Just as any sane mali'thill would oppose this awry worldview, I must argue against it. The supposed Haelun'or that Mr. Sythaerin speaks of is no Haelun'or that I wish to reside in - a land in which none wield authority or power over others is an ineffectual, primitive and complacent land that can only go by the name of an anarchy. He states that titles are not cause for respect, admiration and deference within our glorious enclave, an utterly fallacious claim which can easily be countered by making a point that the very fact the holders of these titles do in fact possess them as elected by the populace is cause enough for deference and obedience.

 

This writing itself could easily construe that Mr. Sythaerin is a dissident and an anarchist opposed to the government of the Enclave of Haelun'or, a crime against his own brothers and sisters who live peacefully and prosperously within the city, guided and protected by our figures of authority. While I cannot fathom why Sythaerin sees the need to oppose the government that has done so much for both him and our people, I must say that from what is clearly visible merely by looking at our city, Laurir Delonna has done more for us than this demagogue and dissident.

 

To those who take the side of this petty insurrectionist (Who might I add, took this action of his suspiciously soon after our leader's departure perhaps so as to ensure he would feel no repercussions) who would have us living as orderless beasts who seek only to further their own selfish profits - all I need say is inquire as to why you would even consider the opinion of a would-be murderer as legitimate in any form.

 

Maehr'sae hiylun'ehya,

A new note has been added to the group, a carefully written addition on fine paper.

 

Since Mr. Sythaerin has failed to follow proper protocol, I shall remind you all of the announcement made shortly after the first meeting of the triumvirate. All important city issues are to be brought to Sohaer Kalenz Uradir, or Medi’iran Delonna Aeléyèlsa and Azorella Coulissante. All referendums are to be written by members of the blessed triumvirate, and only one wishing to take the position for themselves may challenge a triumvirate member.

 

As it stands though, this is less of an issue and more of a childish tantrum, not even slightly worthy of being addressed. However, as your statements are slanderous and extremely misguided, I shall address them regardless.

 

Firstly, many in the city will have seen me wearing armor, as have the rest of elsillumiran. When a war between nations threatens to drag our blessed city into it, expecting a high ranking member in the military to explain why he’s wearing armor is an atrocious and furthermore, dimwitted waste of time. And when I’m returning to my home to write warrants for the arrest of disgraceful criminals, I have every right to ignore such a petty distraction.

 

Whilst your first point was utterly insignificant, the rest of your points appear to be little more than slanderous and tantrumatic nonsense, based on opinions which directly contradict either Mali’aheral law, or the most basic powers of observation. Even your retelling of the brief conversation that caused such a childish reaction is abhorrently incorrect. Is it on purpose that you leave out how uncouthly casual you approached me, or did you merely ‘forget’ that I was simply correcting your poor manners?

 

Furthermore, I suggest you take some time to read the -accepted- referendum for Mali’aheral government, as your opinions on the position of Medi’ir seem to be entirely incorrect. You state that my position is that of a servant, and an equal. You seem to have my position very much confused with the position of Tilruir, which translates to Servant. The position you previously held until you disgraced your name by attempting to murder a citizen of Lin’evaral was that of a servant, but it’s very different to my own position.

 

Make no mistake, citizens, I most certainly serve Haelun’or, and have continued to do so since elected, but that does not change the nature of my position. Since Mr. Silvos clearly requires education on the matter, let me take from the accepted government referendum some statements to serve as a reminder.

 

Medi’iran (First and Second)

Two officials shall be elected by the Mali’aheral to serve as the Sohaer’s executive cabinet.  The Underlings shall operate as advisory and secondary authorities beneath the Sohaer, and shall perform his or her duties, should he/she be unable.

 

Due to their great responsibility, citizens are encouraged to refer to them as “laurir.”

 

As you can see here, yes, I do imply you should show some proper respect to me, not because of my title itself, but because of the duties and responsibilities that come with it. To state that referring to a Medi’ir as laurir is nonsense, is utterly ridiculous, when the law even goes as far as to state doing so is encouraged. All your statements regarding the position of Medi’ir suggest an utter lack of education on the matter, so I’d highly recommend you read up on the matter before you make such an outburst. Or perhaps I’m wrong to expect a more respectful, mature and educated response from a Mali convicted of attempted murder, and one of the two that single-handedly destroyed the nation’s longstanding relations with the Kha civilisation?

 

The true ‘outrage’ is the slanderous lies your message spreads about myself, and I find it abhorrent that you claim credit for doing my duties, when you disregarded protocol once more to utterly break the construction schedule. You claim I’ve failed to keep the promises I made in my candidacy speech for the position, which is entirely incorrect. In actuality, I have completed every single facility I promised, and continue to provide further designs and structures for the city. To claim I haven't been doing my job is either a blatant lie, or a presumptuous baseless statement from a mentally unsound Mali who spends too much conducting studies to benefit only himself, instead of actually helping Haelun’or.

 

I shall not step down from my position, however I shall request you return to wasting your time in the laboratory or in the depths of the labyrinth, and allow the valuable members of society to concentrate on more important matters, instead of being bothered by your tantrums. Leave the important matters to those who aren’t utterly incompetent, before you embarrass yourself further, Mr. Silvos.

 

Maehr'sae hiylun'ehya,

Medi’ir Delonna Aeléyèlsa.

Evarir'Aylastops by the noticeboard upon seeing new messages put up. He stands and reads for a few moments beside sighing, "Only the Valah have need to flaunt their titles." He mutters, moving onward towards his home, having copied a recipe for a cookie consisting of mostly chocolate from the library.

[Lawrna 440]

Lelien comes to a slow stop in front of the collection of posts. She sighs and begins to read

 

"What."

That is all she could say.

 

Lelien rubs her forehead, groaning quietly.
"Both of them are being idiots."

 

She walks off, going to put on her red dress to talk to Silvos.

[Birdwhisperer 1174]

Moved to the Great Library. It shall be sorted into appropriate category shortly.
