We're a well established high elf noble family in Celia'nor looking to fill in a few family roles with established characters that have been abandoned by their original players. Message me for details please. Looking for relatively active players but new players welcome too! Thanks.

As Ellisar arrived home he was told the news by his wife Aestenia. He grumbled as he sat down, memories of Friedrich flooding back to him. It was Friedrich who had given him a second military career, it was Friedrich who had led Ellisar and his comrades in arms through so many battles. When his family had been forced from their home, it was Friedrich who had welcomed them to Haense. There were only a few commanders Ellisar would've followed into any situation, and Lord Marshal Friedrich Barclay was one. He sat in that chair for the rest of the evening, remembering his friend.

In a stable and safe city far away a former Okarir'tir of Haelun'or sat in a comfy chair near a roaring fire. He read over the missive quickly, emitting a low scoff. "Good governance and Haelun'or are like oil and water." he'd grumble. Tossing the paper into the fire, he'd lean back in his chair for a quick nap.

Ellisar Aevaris received the news of Fionn's death from his wife Aestenia. He sunk into a nearby chair, placing his head in his hands for a moment. "At the very least, he went out like a proper soldier." he'd mumble before rising out of the chair to get a carrion cocktail out of the stash in the kitchen. Raising it up in the air, he'd toast "To lieutenant Fionn Castaway, a great friend, drinker and soldier." before chugging half the bottle and sinking back into the chair to finish the bottle in a sullen mood.

Ellisar Aevaris would never forget that doomed patrol. Only the brave actions of Dame Marie had gotten him and the other soldiers out of there alive. While he tended his own wounds in his home, he could only think of revenge on the beasts which had done this. Eventually his thoughts would turn to Marie and her family, those kind and good people who had been nothing but welcoming to his own family. "Damn these soup demons, damn them all!" he'd shout at the empty room.

A wave of sadness washed over Ellisar as he heard the news of Lt. Porter's passing. A fine officer and a good man lost, but a brave and glorious end. He'd hope Jackson had found peace.

A simple note would be posted on the doors of the Citadel for all to read. "Citizens of Haelun'or, it is with heavy heart that I, Ellisar Aevaris, resign my position of Okarir'tir effective immediately. Though I am newly elected to the position, I cannot in good conscience continue to serve this nation's government. I do not believe in the path this government is taking. Stomping out debate, planning to execute those who dare disagree with them, perverting our people's purity into a means to seize and hold power only for themselves. Today they target lessers, but a state which operates thus will only ever find another group to be the enemy, it can never know peace. I know they will brand me a traitor, an impure, a fool. This is the price for obeying one's conscience. I bear the scars of my many long years of service to the Silver State, and if I ever forget how loyally I served, they will remind me. To every Sillumir I had the pleasure of serving with, I thank you. I wish you all the best, happiness and health." (OOC: a few OOC reasons for departing which I won't list here.)

THE BALLOT ((MC name: jonnyflatz )) Name: Ellisar Aevaris Vote for Sohaer: (XX) Arelyn Iyathir ( ) Nuala Telperion

A notice is posted around the city and handed out to citizens A Call to Trial “Recently, a writing was distributed titled ‘An Essay on Purity and the ‘Aheral Mindset’ by Eos Sinruil. This essay contains the following passage: ‘Mali’aheral may romance whoever they want, but they must understand that if it’s not an ‘aheral that they plan to settle down with, then it’s nothing more than a childish fling. If one has already done their duty to the Silver City by having high elven children, then some would argue that there is frankly no harm in an interracial or homosexual relationship-- as long as they don’t procreate.’ This inflammatory and impure writing cannot be allowed to stand unchallenged as published thought within our society. Thus, in my role as Okarir’tir, I, Ellisar Aevaris, hereby formally charge Eos Sinruil with breach or incitement to breach the following laws: CHAPTER I, ARTICLE 10. The Blessed Residents of The Silver State of Haelun’or will not tolerate the willful spreading of false or misleading information. CHAPTER II, ARTICLE 1. The Blessed Residents of The Silver State of Haelun’or shall not participate in physical fraternization outside of marriage. CHAPTER II, ARTICLE 3. The Blessed Residents of The Silver State of Haelun’or shall not participate in public fraternization of an intimate nature. CHAPTER II, ARTICLE 4. The Blessed Residents of The Silver State of Haelun’or shall not participate in fraternization of any intimate sort with impures, or other races. CHAPTER II, ARTICLE 6. The Blessed Residents of The Silver State of Haelun’or shall not participate in intimate fraternization of a homosexual nature. As a result of these charges, Eos Sinruil is called to publicly recant this writing and edit further copies to remove these illegal statements. Furthermore, a public apology should be issued for their misguided literary works on the 9th of Sun’s Smile, year 6 of the Second Age. Failing to meet these conditions will result in a full trial, with the accused to be judged by three parir’tir in accordance with the Silver Law. (OOC: Public Apology will be held on January 10th at 3pm, failing that trial will be scheduled.) Ellisar Aevaris, Okarir'tir

THE BALLOT ((MC name: jonnyflatz )) Name: Ellisar Aevaris Vote for Okarir'hiylun (can't believe you schmucks made me change this you got the point): ( ) Valorin Celia'thilln (XX) Ellisar Aevaris ( ) Olrin Hildinyr

Ellisar would remain in the square to answer the asked questions. Turning to Alluin, he would offer the following reply. "Alluin, I wasn't going to question my commanding officer in public and in uniform when we had that discussion. Though let me be clear today, once and for all. I followed the guidance of the Maheral, Sohaer and the majority of council. Celiasil Uradir has earned my respect and was acting with the support of our government. I had my doubts, which I brought to Celiasil privately and had resolved. The rule of law is most important to any functioning society and nothing was determined to be illegal, despite your opinion on the matter. To answer your question: were it to happen again, I would follow the law as determined by the council. If a law is broken, I would enforce it." "As to your question to all of us, yes, there have been unfortunate problems. Bandits, violent criminals and strange creatures have caused these problems. Unfortunately, dealing with such things is part of being open to the world. If we, as a nation, wish to trade, interact and participate in this world we must remain open. None of our citizens are conducting inappropriate relationships with lessers that I am aware of, no mali'ata are being born within our walls. If carrying on a casual acquaintance with a non 'thill is to be considered impurity how will we function? How will we maintain alliances necessary to our security? How will we trade for goods? I believe you see our doom in something that is a simple necessity of being a nation on the global stage. Don't marry your trading partner or the valah soldier you train with and we'll maintain our most sacred and valued purity. As concerns the Azdrazi, they are bound to us by the Pact. They have fought with us in battles to preserve Mali'thill lives and values. The Titan himself healed my wounds while I was helping to defend the city. To forestall your concern, no I do not worship him. I recognize that we have signed an agreement and they have shown their value to Haelun'or. To summarize my long winded answer: we must safeguard our purity but this must be balanced by realism." Ellisar would catch his breath after such a long response and await any further questions, remaining in the square.

A fully uniformed Ellisar would make his way to the square in front of the Citadel of Karinah’siol. Clearing his throat slightly, he pulls a piece of paper from a pouch on his uniform and keeps it in hand. "Karin'ayla everyone. Ahernan for taking the time to hear me out today." Ellisar looks around at the crowd before continuing. "I am here to announce my candidacy for the post of Okarir'tir, with the goal of continuing the fine work of the past Okarir'tir, Celiasil Uradir while modernizing and reforming Elsillumiran as needed." He would pause before continuing. "For those that do not know, my name is Ellisar Aevaris. I've served as Tilruir'sil of the Sillumiran since 1776 in the First Age, with a total of 24 years of service with Elsillimuran. In that time I've found a career that is challenging yet rewarding, made many close lliran, raised a family, and hopefully been of good service to the Silver State. Throughout my service the Sillumiran have faced many challenges and overcome just as many. The policies and reforms I intend to introduce are designed to continue this success as well as ensure the continued safety of our people and city. I would like to outline these further for you now." Ellisar glances down at his paper before beginning again. "If elected my first priority would be to undertake a comprehensive review of the city's defences. Strengthening our walls and fortifications will ensure our ability to defend ourselves from attack, keep unwanted visitors out, and endure any possible sieges. My second initiative ties in closely with the first. It is the adoption of cannon. I have seen these weapons wielded to great effect in battle, and I believe in order to match any possible opponents in the field Sillumiran must be trained in their use and our defences modified to accommodate them. Construction of additional towers able to hold these weapons may be required, something that I would coordinate closely with our Okarir'nor." He pauses for a breath and looks around the listening crowd again. "Another initiative I would undertake is to develop a system of intelligence gathering. Too often we are caught unawares, unable to locate offenders or left in the dark as to the intentions of other nations. This would be a long-term project as the very nature of this work involves time and careful planning, however I believe it will yield good results in time. Aside from that, I would introduce a system of court-martial for serious offences committed by any active member of the Silver State's military. This would, of course, be subservient to the nation's existing judicial structure and require council approval. However, I believe it would streamline disciplinary measures within Elsillumiran. Finally, I intend to continue our stepped up training in combat techniques, formations, drill and military procedure as well as our determined recruiting drive that has seen many new Halerir join the ranks in the recent past." "In regards to the judicial and legislative roles of the Okarir'tir position, rest assured I would continue to uphold our existing laws, customs, and the Constitution of 1774. On assuming office I would undertake a review of existing laws, directed by the Silver Council to address any issues or gaps that may exist within our legal structure. I would also see the Sillumiran be more available to help the citizens of Haelun'or should they face issues such as burglary, violence and so on. It has always been my belief that Elsillumiran exist to serve the people and government of Haelun'or and work to erase the mistrust and fear of past eras." Ellisar would pause again, making eye contact with familiar faces amongst those listening. "I hope that you will consider giving me your vote and your trust. My door, just above the tavern" he points "is always open should anyone wish to discuss anything I have said or any concerns you have. Ahernan for your time and for your consideration." Ellisar would fold the paper back into a pouch, nod to those in the crowd, and depart the square to resume his duties.

Ellisar Aevaris was handed a copy of the letter by a passing citizen while standing outside the city's gatehouse. Though the contents of the letter were not news to him, the official nature of the letter brought it home. His commander was moving on to other things, the one commander he had known for his decades of service within the Sillumiran. The commander who had led Ellisar and all the soldiers of Haelun'or into battle against infernal legions and seen them through it. The commander who had seen fit to give Ellisar a career he loved. He hoped that Celiasil would enjoy his well earned rest, and he hoped that the Sillumiran would strive to remain worthy of their now retired Okarir'tir.
