Alluin Miravaris had been listening to the nominations of the three candidates. He was still waiting for Zelios, who he expected to run, but as there was a silence, he took his chance. He was not planning to run for the position as he did the last few times. He already was short on time to spend with his family and interests, and he was not planning on burdening himself even more. However, after over a 100 years of servitude to elsillumiran, he would at least make sure to speak up about its leadership.
"Valorin, I have known you from our earlier days among elsillumiran, and I know you as a valiant and capable 'thill. You speak of servitude and intricacy, and I know you as a mali who can make these terms true. Focus on training, both physical and in legaslative matters and Law, is an important part of elsillumiran, and worth the attention you are planning to give to it. However, you have been away for a long time. Do you not think this caused a gap between you and our mal'onnan who joined recently?"
"Ellisar, you make a few good points. Your years of experience are valuable, and so are your ideas of strengthening our city's defences and setting up a system of intelligence gathering. However, in the last months I have noticed a shift in our conversations. As tilruir'sil, you do not only have the responsibility to serve elokarir'tir, but also to keep an eye on them. Why did you not take this responsibility and speak out against the path Celiasil Uradir was taking? When I asked about it, you tried to take a neutral point of view and concluded saying that the Silver Council approved of him remaining as okarir'tir. How are you planning to act if such impurity rises again? Will you stand by and say 'I can't do anything', again?"
"Olrin, we have not properly met. I do agree to the points you bring forward and the restoration of maehr'sae hiylun'ehya, purity and safety which you have in mind. However, good ideas do not make you a good candidate for the position in of itself. You are not a sillumir and lack the shared experience Valorin and Ellisar can call upon. Were you to be elected, what are your plans to bridge this gap between you and the other officers and sillumiran?" Alluin, having finished his personal questions, crossed his arms with a small frown. "And, lastly, a question for all of you. Recently there have been worrying developments in our Blessed Bastion. All of you mention maehr'sae hiylun'ehya and purity. However, corruption and impurity are gaining presence, and every day more 'thill seem to fall in its grasp. What does everyone of the candidates think their place and responsibility is in this situation: a situation of rising mental impurity, of mali'thill befriending Azdrazi, valahan and sentient tree-creatures, shortly, lessers, a situation in which we allow another nation to threaten us and back down, a situation in which even the acid pits have been removed?" His voice was sharper at the last few sentences, afterwards sitting down to allow the candidates to answer his questions.
