"Let the Pariran’tir decide, and let it be those not bereft of judgment and wisdom who cast the final verdict," exclaimed Liewyn Miravaris.

"A new chapter in the legend of elmali'thill," declared Aelorin, donning his new armour.

Resource pits and food chests form the true basis for a system of government. This is just terrible. Hopefully, adding the remaining player base to the staff will fix it.

Idendril Elassidil smiled, filling the application form. "Progress is the Diarchy."

“Three barrels of Visaj Red are on their way” Chef Liewyn replied, glancing at the kitchen ledger as the savory aroma of garlic-butter snails drifted by. “And, should the revelry demand more, a modest reserve of Miravaris Beetroot Wine awaits.”

Moderator: Maheral Kolvar Uradir Candidates: Speaker 1: Acalmaehr Calith Speaker 2: Kirkigar Speaker 3: Annyerir (resigned) Stenographer: Idendril Elassidil Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "My Blessed Children of Silver, we are gathered to witness the rigorous exchange of ideas from those that believe themselves worthy of the Sohaership. Take heed of what they say for it shall be the last chance to hear their vision for our cihi before you go to cast your ballot. To the candidates, I will now ask you to briefly introduce yourselves and outline your vision for our State – starting with Mister Calith." Acalmaehr Calith: “As most of you will know, I am Acalmaehr Calith. I stand here as one candidate for Sohaer, for I dream of a Haelun’or that is rich with life.” – “Rich with energy.” – “Over the last centuries it has been clear our stagnation, and our dwelling for the nefarious, the cruel and the bloodthirsty. I desire to rectify this, if you would offer the chance for me to be the one who plots our course, I will be sure to navigate our proud people to clearer and calmer waters.” – “I seek to reignite our guilds and companies, restructure our military to seek peace and prosperity rather than war and the shedding of blessed blood.” Acalmaehr Calith: “I seek for our Motherland to become the centrepiece of mali’aheral, the Motherland it deserves to be.” – “My reforms and directives I have shown amongst many, and I shall not pitch them all in repetition. But know I seek to delegate, to create autonomy within each sector to allow for prosperity to truly flourish, rather than lingering and falling derelict.” Acalmaehr Calith: “Maehr’sae Hiylun’eyha, with your support I will help to truly mean something when we scream it from our lungs.” – “To look towards our future, rather than simply remember our past.” Maheral Kolvar Uradir: “Ahernan, mister Calith, now we proceed to our next candidate. Mister Kirkigar, if you please.” Kirkigar: “Esteemed Maheral, fellow candidates, and citizens of Haelun’or. I’m Kirkigar Tarto Darkwood, and I stand before you not as a product of old lineage, but as a dedicated servant of Haelun’or’s enduring spirit. My vision for the Silver State is simple: Clarity, community and culture.” Kirkigar: “I believe Haelun’or needs more than just administration; it needs a renewed purpose, built stone by stone, by all of us. My proposals are broad, with culture and tradition as its foundation. A vision that is not centered on administration, but rather a vision of upright doctrine, a prosperous Haelun’or, and the empowerment of the Mali’aheral people so that they never again fall into the hands of tyrants and massacre. My full vision is now in your hands, Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya.” Maheral Kolvar Uradir: “Now that we have concluded introductions, I will posit the first topic of discussion, Elheial’thilln, the Silver Council. As many will know, the Silver Council is a key institution of our State, overseeing all matters of governance. To the candidates, I ask this: how will you manage and organise this essential branch of our cihi? We will start again with Mister Calith, then Mister Kirkigar – after which, you shall have the opportunity to challenge each other, if you so wish.” Acalmaehr Calith: “The Silver Council is that which I have worked and thought on dearly.” – “For it will embody all which I desire to carry out under my tenure as Sohaer.” – “I seek to organise it clearly, taking inspirations from our Maheral’s own Silver Council formation when he had performed the Sacred duties and burdens of Sohaer.” – “I desire to delegate our central sectors: Okarir’maehr, mali, akaln, sil.” Acalmaehr Calith: “With that too, there will be the potential futures. Should be my success, for additional roles.” – “Okarir’tayna and ‘hiylun, should my desired resurrection of our arcane studies bloom, or we attract a notable clinical and alchemical guild here within the city.” Acalmaehr Calith: “Each Council member will have autonomy within their sector. As much as is permissible.” – “There will no longer be stalling for permission and layers of paperwork; if a council member wishes to hold or host something they will actively be capable of doing so.” – “I aim to look over this council with a stern and when required iron fist, I will not condone slacking for power and status as has been seen before. And should impurity be found it shall be dealt with swiftly.” Acalmaehr Calith: “I shall trickle the guidance of elMaheral, and instil it into my council, so that they do not forget the reason they had taken on such duties and burdens.” – “I will ensure breadth and depth, the meetings I hold with council shall be for them to express their own ideas and visions, and how best to situate them within our city. I am not one to spoonfeed, and I would desire for my council to be that of adults and not infants.” – “Ahernan, that is all I have to say for this.” Annyerir enters the Silver Citadel. Maheral Kolvar Uradir: “Take to your stand, mister Annyerir. Once mister Kirkigar has finished outlining their plans for the Silver Council, you shall do the same, while not forgetting to introduce yourself.” Annyerir: “I seek not to interrupt such a procession. I renounce my intentions for the Sohaership. Please, as you were.” Annyerir leaves the Silver Citadel. Kirkigar: "The Silver Council, under my leadership, will be based on two fundamental principles: First, Autonomy in Management. There will be no micromanagement, as I deeply trust those who demonstrate true leadership and excel in their roles. With clear and established boundaries, changes will be implemented at all levels, from the Okarir’tir to the Okarir’mali, adding crucial new functions and rekindling the flame of innovation, pushing us to go beyond what’s expected. I’ll be the conductor in this symphony." Kirkigar: "Second, I will introduce the position of Tayna’mali, the People’s Advocate. I believe that the Council, in its current state, is susceptible to despotism, often leaning too far in favor of the Sohaer or becoming complacent. The Tayna’mali will be directly elected by the people, ensuring that their voice accurately reflects the popular will." Kirkigar: "This Advocate will have the freedom to openly share with the people the issues discussed at Council meetings and to vote on Council decisions." - "Its primary function is to empower the Mali’thill people and ensure absolute transparency. That’s all." Kirkigar: "Ahernan." Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "Ahernan, now, do either of the candidates wish to challenge or contest the other on this topic? If so, the floor is yours." Kirkigar: "Acalmaehr, in your vision, you promote autonomy for Okariran—yet you also say you will ‘only nourish and support’ the council.” – “Could you clarify what mechanisms you propose to ensure accountability within this autonomy, and how you will avoid stagnation without direct oversight?" Acalmaehr Calith: “Very well. I intend on setting primary directives to be fulfilled, my primary source of input. These will act as to give direction. Directives such as reformations of the military to turn our Weeping Blades into peacekeepers, trained to negotiate and relieve situations rather than drawing their blades as we have seen in the past.” – “I have posited ideas for whomever takes on the Okarir’akaln with the idea of our Kaliri’ihiam – Industrial Celebration. Colloquially a form of Market Day to interest smiths, enchanters and tailors back to our Motherland, and attract those ‘aheral who have flown from home to settle back where they belong.” – “These directives are open however, they can carry it out as they see fit.” Acalmaehr Calith: “It is in my best intention to oversee their activities, and stepping and intervening when I see something not in the spirit of Purity and Prosperity is taking place.” – “Apart from that, if our Okarir’akaln desired to host auctions, our maehr desired placing pamphlets and stalls to acquire information of purity and Larihei for the newer returning ‘aheral, or our ‘sill desiring to alter the uniform and whom may enlist as part of the Weeping Blades, that is for them to decide.” Acalmaehr Calith: “Any further questions?” Kirkigar: “No, llir.” Acalmaehr Calith: “I will now ask you a question llir.” Acalmaehr Calith: “Your Tayna’mali is elected from the people, and intended to be the voice that speaks and deliberates with yourself.” – “How would you respond should such elected individual – Larihei forbidding – was impure in mind or body?” – “How would you punish or react to one who may be injecting lies at such a critical position?” – “I ask: What would happen if your Tayna’mali saw themselves as the true figure of the people, and tried to overthrow yourself and our Most Blessed?” Kirkigar: “If the Tayna’mali were proven impure by deed or thought, I would act without hesitation, in accordance with our law” – “They are elected by the people, Ti, but under the gaze of the Maehral and the guidance of the Sohaer.” – “If they spread lies or stir unrest unjustly, a public inquiry would be called, and if found guilty, they would be dismissed and replaced by the same civic process that raised them.” – “The position is not an arm of rebellion, it’s for transparency.” Acalmaehr Calith: “As one may find anxiety turns into excitement, so too could communication become envy.” – “I respect such notion for one whom speaks the word of the people, however I would also suggest that it is the right of every citizen within our Motherland to stand upon the podium and speak their mind.” – “To speak through so many chains: Is that not more binding than simply speaking freely?” Kirkigar: “Freedom is sacred, but direction gives it strength. Every citizen may raise their voice, and I would see more do so. Yet not all voices echo equally, some fade, unheard in the wind.” – “The Tayna’mali exists not to chain speech, but to ensure that even the quietest concerns reach the ears of those in power. They are the bridge, not the barrier” – “Envy cannot grow where trust exists, and trust is earned through structure, not chaos.” Maheral Kolvar Uradir: “Mister Calith, I will offer you the chance to respond, but then we will proceed to the next topic.” Acalmaehr Calith: “I appreciate the zeal of your answer llir.” – “That ends my inquiry.” Maheral Kolvar Uradir: “Now, for the next topic, The Sillumir. The subject has already been touched upon briefly, however, I ask you, the candidates, to outline how you will manage our stalwart protectors. We shall start with Mister Kirkigar, if you please.” Kirkigar: "The Sillumir will be guardians, not glorified swordsmen. They will be trained not only in weapons, but also in ethics and diplomacy. They will return to the unsung ways, anonymous and numbered heroes, but paid for their service. I envision a renewed training circuit designed to hone not only their strength, but also their mind." — "Their first duty is to the citizenry, not to conquest. They will be forces of self-defense and defenders of the law." Kirkigar: "The law will be enforced, but also disseminated by these honorable warriors. They will not go to war, for under my leadership, it will not be a trivial matter as it has been" — "A specific mechanism has been designed for such a serious matter." Acalmaehr Calith: "Peacekeepers." — "Yes, that is probably the word I would use to define them best. But negotiators, debaters and caretakers too fit my vision." — "It was under the tenure of one Sohaer Dimaethor who spoke: “These ‘thill have made the daunting decision to burden their lives with the blood they spill in battle.” — "Truly the brutalist and accurate depiction. For should one of our Weeping Blades be placed into the position to draw it. It is a fracture upon their purity." — "It is a burden, to risk precious ‘thill blood. It is a danger to our people too. A danger not seen or acknowledged by previous Sohaeran, but one I desire to protect." Acalmaehr Calith: "The Weeping Blades, under my Okarir’sil, shall be turned towards protection and diffusion, our training regiments will instill these ideals that their role is one of sacrifice. It was in recent times we saw one of our Weeping Blades in such a zealous and aggressive manner, leading to impure notions in our own cihi. No more, for under my guidance I will select an Okarir’sil who will turn them from violence only at the last resort." Acalmaehr Calith: "That is my vision. And all I have to say on this matter." Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "Ahernan. Once more the floor is open should either wish to challenge the other." Acalmaehr Calith: "Under your precision Kirkigar, llir, what military experience have you had?" — "For one who takes the burdens of Sohaer must in my opinion have knowledge of all the sectors they are to oversee." Kirkigar: "Though it may contradict your view, Acal." — "I can say, without a doubt, that I am a veteran of the previous war, driven by foreign powers." — "Furthermore, I have hunted darkspawns and trained Koyo-Kuni, Numendil, and the Valleh" — "I currently hold the rank of Div’kinael. And I also led the search and collection of materials to supply all of Elsillumir." Acalmaehr Calith: "It was not an attempt to undermine do not fret." — "That is the only question I had wished to ask." Kirkigar: "I have one" Kirkigar: "Acal, llir. You speak of returning to a traditional view of the Sillumir, as a necessary sacrifice rather than an operational force. How do you plan to motivate and retain new Sillumir? Wouldn’t that weaken the defense in these vulnerable moments?" Acalmaehr Calith: "An interesting question indeed" — "I had described one directive for the Okarir’sil, which would be allowing open attendance training, so that if any finds themselves honourable enough they need not fill out forms to begin training, simply to realise their path is that of great burden and sacrifice." — "Additionally, is it not truthful that all us mali’thill stand here ready to dedicate themselves to their Motherland? It is of no question that to risk one’s life is a sacrifice greater than any other, so that all in the Motherland can continue their path to Maehr’sae, to purity." — "I also see the shift as motivational to enlist. For no longer will one be training to be a barbarian, a savage on the battlefield." Acalmaehr Calith: "They will learn to be a diplomat, one wizened from debate and capable of calming even the most woeful of storms." — "They will learn that the unsheathing of the blade is to condemn blessed blood, and that it shall only be the result of an ultimatum." Kirkigar: "That was it, ahernan." Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "If that is all, we shall conclude with the final topic, the Eternal Library, our most prized institution – whose legacy predates most civilisations. My question is simple, what will you do to ensure our Bastion of Knowledge continues to flourish into the next millennium?" Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "Mister Calith, if you would be so kind to start." Acalmaehr Calith: "The Directives I have set for my potential Okarir’maehr are threefold." — "Their primary role, to reinitiate and update the shelving and facilitation of newer works. I intend to make more use of the space, with open lectures and allowing the space for various broad and brilliant lectures. I intend to bring more interaction with our realm and the world around us as to attract our scholars and explorers home. For I do not bid them illwill for their ventures, but it is time for our ‘aheral to come to their Motherland and share what they have learnt to benefit our records." — "Additionally, with the act of resparking the passion and care for our Eternal Library, I intend to revive its assets: The laboratories that laid beneath it. Resparking each." Acalmaehr Calith: "Mali’thill’s curiosity and intrigue with their works" — "My Okarir’maehr will act autonomously as I have spoken, they will enlist whom they wish, as long as they are pure of mind and body. They will be asked to work with myself and others directly too once their duties are more freed and less swollen from those who have left their duties derelict, as I will begin to reform our sights towards the Arcane, our proudest of studies. For we were the first, and most proficient sorcerers in this realm." Acalmaehr Calith: "My Okarir’maehr shall be the one who will seek to produce an Okarir’tayna and ‘Hiylun. For should they succeed we shall become not only the proudest wielders of knowledge, but that of the arcane and the medicinal." Acalmaehr Calith: "That is all." Kirkigar: "The Eternal Library is not a museum of dust, but a living home of ideas. As Sohaer, I will guarantee the autonomy of the Okarir’maehr, protect its laboratories, and bring back the lectures and scholars to enliven its halls." — "We will publish our doctrine, revive scholarly competition, and ensure that no purposeful mind is without scroll or audience." Kirkigar: "Haelun’or will pioneer astronomy, let us cast our eyes heavenward, and into the arcane, like our mother Larihei. And above all, I propose an extension of Maheral himself: Maehrisulir. A scholar dedicated to doctrine, who will spread it within and beyond our blessed city" — "In short: Autonomy, drive, construction, and retention. For book by book, stone by stone, and hand in hand, we build our civilization, our knowledge, our light of tomorrow." Kirkigar: "Ahernan. That’s all from my part." Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "Sulian. Any final questions either candidate wishes to ask of the other?" Kirkigar: "Acal, llir. You speak of bringing the scholars home, and of rekindling the old flame beneath the Eternal Library... but what concrete steps will you take to ensure they stay, teach, and build here, rather than merely pass through?" Acalmaehr Calith: "For too long have our tomes stood unturned and unsifted through. Although not relevant entirely to the library, I did suggest the induction of Purity Counsellors: ‘Thill who have reached a respectable level of progress towards purity and so offer to those new to the Motherland, those new to Larihei, the ideals of purity. For such they will make perfect use in our library’s lecture theatre, and utilise its assets. Furthermore..." Acalmaehr Calith: "With the introduction of attempting to reignite our Arcane Academy and interests in the Alchemical and the Medical, much of our previously unutilised assets will become tended too. It makes for perfect coupling for those proud Surgeons in our clinic, or attendees within whatever Arcane Institution to form are also members of our fine Eternal Library, so that they can access its spaces and attend to literature they know no longer relevant and able to be archived." Acalmaehr Calith: "I will make for example our section on the alchemical. In our future it may be useful, to separate the Archived works of Sarrion among other mages of that era, whose alchemical practices operated differently, and make it clear their recipes are now no longer functional." Acalmaehr Calith: "Our arcane studies too, regularly tended and researched by those mages who are learning as apprentices. Even furthermore with the influx of guilds and presence from our Okarir’akaln, we may see adventurers who wish to earn their right to access our records within the library. Through hard effort and learning ‘thill mannerisms and etiquette, attending lectures on our people and our culture, so that they are permitted access to our works should it be relevant in their future ventures." Acalmaehr Calith: "I hope that answer appeals to you." Kirkigar: "A fair answer, Acalmaehr. Your vision for the Eternal Library is full of reverence, and I commend that." Kirkigar: "Yet beyond theory" — "That’s all from my part. Ahernan, llir." Maheral Kolvar Uradir: "As always, I commend the rigorous exchange of ideas. These candidates have astutely answered the questions posed to them and articulated their vision before the State. With that, the debate is concluded. I shall be announcing the opening of a Ballot in the Eternal Library, where the Blessed Populace shall answer whom they believe is better suited for the Sohaership. Regardless, ahernan to both the candidates for taking the initiative to rise to the call for such a responsibility. Maehr’sae hiylun’ehya."

Idendril Elassidil let her vote fall into the ballot box, with a smile on her face. Liewyn Miravaris adjusted his chef’s toque as he walked through the tavern, inventory list in hand, occasionally crossing off items with a quill. He noticed an empty ballot left on one of the freshly polished tables and snatched it up with a frown. “Such a waste of paper,” he muttered. On his way to the kitchen, he tossed the ballot into the furnace. Moments later, a plume of white smoke drifted from the tavern’s chimney.

I still believe shifting to the Second Age was a mistake. This clearly feels like year 2035 America, not a medieval fantasy world set in the year 235. PS. Happy Eid al-Adha to those who celebrate!

"The inevitable result of such brutal misuse of magic. A wise choice - let the council of Pariran’tir decide their fate," mused the Miravaris.

Another missive was soon issued, bearing the Miravaris sigil: It will be a great honour to organise and participate in the debate with the three declared candidates and any truth-seeking mali’thill this month, as I believe the issue of elSohaer’s accountability and competence should not be underestimated. As much as I favour the system of The Diarchy, the great disbalance of the recent century, that allowed Sohaer to act like Uthir, compels me to support the vision for strong Maheral and wise elHeial’malauriran. Perhaps through the debate we can achieve elMaehr’sae Hiylun’ehya. As is tradition, the debate will be held at the Silver Citadel. [!] A note has been added recently, explaining that the debate has been postponed to the next public assembly this year. [[Saturday the 7 of June, 22:00 CEST]] As signed by, Liewyn Miravaris

Issued from the Talonnii Miravaris, year 346 since the restoration of Haelun’or Lliran, mali’thill, countrymen, I write to you with a solemn concern regarding the ever-broadening remit of Sohaer’s authority. Precedent after precedent, from Sythaerins to Nullivari, it is evident that even the most seemingly competent leader can become blind to the dangers of such prerogative. When Sohaer wields this prerogative without oversight, the corruption festers. There are now those that already vie for the Sohaer’s seat, eager to claim such authority for themselves, when they could just as readily implement the necessary changes without assuming those dangerous powers. We treat sickness. We identify symptoms. But the longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease. Let the lesson of the past century’s disorder help us understand the disease of Sohaer’s authority and guide us onto the path of Purity. It is no wonder that the light of Larihei has recently reignited again, and, through Malaurir Fi’talareh, was found in Kolvar Uradir. At the second Visaj Public Assembly, with the support of Malaurir Fi’talareh, the solution was discovered in a reform. The reform proposes the following changes, In order to ensure progress and continuing stability, Blessed Maheral, the guide to all mali’thill, has to assume the following duties: To manage the Silver Council in pursuance of constitution and law, along the ancient principle of maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. To serve as Supreme Commander of the Sillumiran. To coordinate and direct the effort of The Silver Council; Elheial’thilln. To appoint and remove Okariran and Tilruiran to maintain a full and functioning Silver Council. To coordinate and direct the diplomatic and military undertakings of The Silver State of Haelun’or. To ratify treaties. To proclaim a state of war, should The Silver State of Haelun’or come under attack by foreign power, or necessary in pursuance of our international treaties concerning collective defense in response to aggression. To proclaim martial law, Diraar, for the purpose of ensuring public health. As such, the seat of Sohaer has to be abolished. Those who wished to bring positive change to our Motherland through Sohaerate to be presented as the candidates for the ancient pure title of Tilruir’mali, and under the guidance of our Blessed Maheral, to implement the reforms, to rejuvenate Haelun’or. Over the last hundred years, Mali strove for power, for knowledge, for unity - let us now strive for Purity to attain them all. Liewyn Miravaris

Liewyn glides to his oaken desk, laying two vellum scrolls before him. With a steady hand, he scribbles his signature and presses the silvered Miravaris sigil into the warm wax of the first, murmuring, “To Maheral Uradir, may his wisdom guide us onto the path of Larihei.” He repeats the motion on the second, “To Malaurir Arasdir, his presence would be most welcome at the Visaj’s public assembly.” Rising, he moves to the arched window where two trained courier pigeons are waiting.

"To the promised Uradiran Era," exclaimed Liewyn Miravaris, "For Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya!"

"Election..? Elections?" Miravaris scoffed, his voice laced with disdain. "As though the ruin wrought by this century's parade of failed elected Sohaeran were not warning enough. And now they clamor for more? The republic is beyond redemption."

"So, it took six disgraced Sohaeran for this Maheral to stir at last? The mali’thill have borne a century of shame - Fi’talareh’s name etched across its span,” exclaimed a Miravaris, voice echoing through the desolate square of Tahn’miar. “She should have declared the state lost long before this corruption sank its roots."

"From the resplendent Silver Empire of Uradir to the servitude as a mere Valah vassal. Truly, Aevos is a cursed land," mused the Elassidil, her hands deftly gathering her belongings as she turned her back on the city atop the volcano.

In the midst of another round of changes in Haelun'or, Idendril wandered among a host of monuments scattered throughout the city, quietly repeating to herself, "the cycle shall repeat, again and again." Among the statues, one stood veiled in dust and seemingly unattended, bearing the engraved name of Anethra Uradir. As the winds from the mainland whipped the red Haelunorian banners, another symbol of fading significance, above the high elven capital, the elfess mused: "The wheel remains intact, but does it still carry the meaning its creators intended? But who could give it a new purpose? An Uradir, perhaps, - For better or worse?"

A pale elfess, bearing the Elervathar sigil on her dress, mused: "So, the one who forcibly deposed Maheral, the Blessed Child, now preaches importance of Maheral's authority and Larihei's teachings. Well, debate is always a welcome sight." "An elaboration on the current constitution is required. The Blessed Silver Constitution, as its two predecessors - The Reformed Silver Constitution and The Silver Constitution of Haelun'or, was based on the principles of compromise and balance between Haelunorian factions, as such its removal from the official archive is uncalled for. Yet, there were other notable constitutions, through which one might see the centuries-long struggle. The Elervathar Constitution of Haelun'or, that attempted to empower Maheral in all matters of the State, while having Sohaer as a member of elHeial'thill, which was overseen by Maheral. The Sohaeriate Constitution of the Silver State of Haelun'or, that established a dictatorial rule of Sohaer Othelu Orrar, abolishing position of Maheral, his reign became infamous for its rejection of traditions, transition to the Uthirate, and the influence of Azdrazi. The Constitution of 1774, was a republican constitution, that saw its goal in democratisation of Haelun'or through elections not only for the position of Sohaer, but for any seat in elHeial'thilln. Lastly, the first and most influential constitution since the restoration of Haelun'or from the Enclave of Fi'halen is The Elervathar Diarchy Constitution, created by the Blessed Diarchy of Sohaer Dimaethor and Maheral Iaria Elervathar. While their reign was long and successful, given the personalistic and charismatic nature of the Diarchy rule, its recurrence is unlikely. Hopefully, the lesson of conflict between Diarchists, Republicanists, Sohaerists and Maheralists made it clear that the current balanced choice of The Blessed Silver Constitution is correct."

"Larihei smiles today - Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya," exclaimed a Miravaris.

A mali'thill rejoiced: "Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya!"

"Ito Haelun'or Iyath'ante," spoke a patriotic high elf.

Somewhere in an unknown realm at an indefinite distance from Haelun'or. A Miravaris rejoiced at his relative's accomplishments, while an Elassidil reminisced over her old mentor and friend.

Somewhere in the bustling kitchen of Haelun'or Tavern, a certain chef was overseeing the baking process. Evidently, judging one of young Andwen's creations. @Amelica

Seated at a table within the homely confines of the tavern, the esteemed Chef Miravaris indulged in a leisurely read of the most recent publication while intermittently taking small sips of freshly brewed black coffee. A whole stack of newly printed papers rested neatly upon the table's surface, eagerly awaiting mali'thill-visitors. In the proximity of the chef's seat, atop the counter, several steaming cups of express coffee were freshly prepared, their rich aroma wafting seductively throughout the establishment. With each sip of the invigorating brew, the Chef savored its robust flavor and comforting warmth, relishing every moment of his respite from the hustle and bustle of the world beyond the tavern's walls.
