The archprelate thought quietly as the missive was read to her, the elfess resuming to her duties within Cathedral halls. "So Ravenswood has chosen the path of wickedness. A shame. I'll pray for them to deliver themselves." She noted in thought "Ne'estel Vull'talii" She gestured to those of the faith to prepare arms, for such sin in ignorance could not be ignored.

“Genocide. We were all born Haelun’orians, children of el cihi, who attempted to assert our right to a fair and democratic election by the people for the people. And those unsavory of Ni’Leya and the Bronze band that Haelun’or even now disparages led the charge against the people. This is the insanity those people bred.” The elfess noted to the missive.

The Symposium of Talyniism The Faith of Talyniism, is a new age elven religion founded within the heartlands of Celia’nor, developed by the nationalization of Celian history and culture. The sect of faith has no ties to former elvish beliefs, and outright abjures most spiritual concepts developed in the elven world, its identity fiercely rooted in elvish spiritual pursuit. The leader of the faith, the Archprelate of Talyniism, is considered the steward and spiritual guide of Elvendom, maintaining the vision of Elvendom’s greater journey towards enlightened insight. Talyniism, is a gnostic philosophy that recognizes the existence of various higher beings at play in the world, but declares a significant amount to be neither benevolent or malevolent, rather classifying most as meddlers towards higher knowledge. Talyniism supports the ideal of a unconscious collective, in which the supposed ‘Cosmic Presence’, once made of the collective ideas and minds of all living beings, was shattered in conflict with the various meddlers beyond, creating life as it is known, including Malin, Horen, Urguan, and Krug. This belief largely abjures the influence of the outer gods including Daemonic, Aengulic, Druidic, and Spiritual, viewing all as meddler outer gods from beyond reality. This belief however, shows support for the Canonist Faith. The basis of the faith is supported by the Compendium, a collection of five holy texts that support the ideal that there are many forces in constant opposition with one another, and the sole purpose of elvendom is to achieve a critical mass of knowledge to ascend past the influences of outer gods. It believes that due to the naturalized longevity of elven kind, both life and death are an unnatural state, in which the spiritual veil must be pierced in order to overcome the influence of deceivers. It naturally believes that those of the faith are considered to be ‘philosophers’, ones who are able to climb the ladder between the realm of forms, and bring back knowledge into ours, and once a critical mass of knowledge is obtained, known as ‘insight’, those of both Elvendom and Talyniism will be able to shift beyond the form and be raptured from the mortal world. There is no concept of the afterlife for Talyniists, much rather viewing death as an unnatural purgatory which may only be emptied once elvendom can achieve a critical consciousness of insight. It believes that the agents of Aenguls, Daemons, Spirits, and Druidic aspects are in conflict to prevent the ascension of Elvendom through the promise of power and deceit, long since being the reason towards elvendom’s identity fracture and incapability to unify, while equally producing some of the more destructive agents of chaos in order to distract and defeat greater understanding, to keep elvendom ignorant and divided. It believes equally that learning to both prevent outworldly influences, and understand them, a level of comprehensive insight and manipulation must be used in return, shielding the mind from the effects of outer gods, while learning to use their own against one another, thusly schools of voidal magic and latent power sources are deeply ingrained with Talyniism. The Compendium The Tuvatir, or ‘Compendium’ is a collection of five ‘holy’ books of high elven origin, namely ‘Edification’, ‘Ascendancy’, ‘Sacrosanct’, ‘Daemonium’, and ‘Misereres’. All five books together form the Compendium, which is used for a number of philosophical and liturgical purposes by Taliiyn scholars and clerics. Oftentimes, many of the full texts are considered a very difficult reading from introductory readers, especially due to its near complete writing being in Elven, leaving the books often being proselytized by clerics and philosophers. Many often refer to the text as a grimoire due to its heavy influence from various divination sources of magic and science As a text largely inspired by the Elvish identity in relation to the divine, it's often much more nuanced than most like its kind, wherein a complete and in depth understanding of its inner machinations and beliefs come to well experienced readers of the Compendium. Across the various texts, it often attributes a collective representation of the elvish people, and the notion of a gathered ‘collective unconscious’ divine amongst various outer god foes. Largely centered around the collective known as ‘The Cosmic Presence’, it is believed that a singular deity amongst countless daemonic ‘Great Ones’ was once the amalgamation of all living life, shattered by an unknown demiurge into the individual pieces of life. Among the core tenets of the Tuvatir, is the belief of ‘Divination by Cultivation’, or the theory that by extending one's perception and insight of the horrors beyond, that such collective knowledge unlocks a mental enlightenment and ascendancy. The more who become aware of this concept, the greater the strength of the collective unconscious, moving towards a collective uplift from the throws of incomprehensible daemons beyond the veil. Book One, ‘Edification’, is the first book of the Tuvatir, and often an introductory passage for those newly introduced towards Taliiynism. Edification is where many unique and core principles or terminology of the Tuvatir is explained. The read can be a daunting one for those unversed in elvish or elvish culture, but often compliments the long lived nature of the more scholarly societies of elves. Edification is one of ‘the big three’, also known as the old texts that comprises the first three books. It is often compared to the Pillar of Structure of Taliame’tanya, for various representations of the still and unconscious mind and its own strength. Book Two, ‘Ascendancy’, shares some of the fewest words amongst all five books, as the vast majority of the entire book is depictions of various, ‘perfect’ geometrical patterns and runes that are believed to bring good or negative fortune. These patterns are viewed as ‘holy’ due to their common recurrence in natural patterns, or perfect shape. While the chapter offers some insight to its depth, the chapter is often vague towards newcomers, due to the chapter's nature to be cognitively stimulating through detailed fractals and shapes. It’s often considered the Pillar of Dynamic, due to the active work it takes to stimulate the conscious and cognitive mind, while providing wards of safety. Book Three, ‘Sacrosanct’, is often the most proselytized due to its popular and dense nature for revealing many of the divinations of Taliiynism. Unlike other beliefs, The Cosmic Presence is considered neither monotheistic, nor benevolent; rather indifferent and incomprehensible. Amongst the various voidal horrors that lay beyond the veil, it was believed the presence was a similar waking Great One, who’s descent and exploitation was the birth of life, and that various great demiurges and outer gods contend to feast upon its sleeping remains as various unnatural powers such as Voidal Horrors. In this book, it is often described the position of elves towards custodianship, and education of this knowledge due to their longer lives, and ability to ascend closer towards greater knowledge. It views these outer gods and daemons as no different than the one that bore life, and that truly recognition of these things from beyond is the only way to prevent their meddling and attempts to keep the collective uninformed and divided. Book Four, ‘Daemonium’, is the first of The New Texts, and dedicated to the record and collection of Identified Great Ones. Due to its changing nature, these texts are largely a taboo that is not often shared beyond clerics or in sanctuaries due to its constantly evolving nature of adding Daemons, or striking old misconceptions from the records. The texts are often filled with eldritch, malformed depictions of incomprehensible daemons alongside in depth details and records of such meddlers. While it is often safeguarded towards sanctuaries, the depictions of such Daemons are often told as frightening stories of those that lay in between the stars. Book Five, ‘Misereres’, is the most recent of The New Texts, and similarly to Daemonium, it is considered to be fluid, and changing with the ethnic history of Taliiynists. Largely centered in the Celic heartlands, it often shares hymns and psalms of ethnic history in relation towards various meddlers and ethnic struggles. One of the more famous passages, ‘Exodus Wounds’, tells about the siege of Fi’andria and the exodus from the peninsula of Almaris. It even shares stories of antiquity of the broad elven identity such as the September Prince. Symbolic Concepts and Customs Given the book of Ascendancy is thoroughly filled with various runes of deific design, three various symbols are the most common way to identify the followers of Talyniism and traditions that often surround them. The Taliame’tanya, is often the symbol of the legitimists, or the order of Reason, which is depicted as a multi-circles rune with long flowing roots intertwining the intertwined twelves sacred runes that bind it together, the order of Reason often being those under the stance of active pursuit of expanding the faith. The Ker’caele however is often depicted as a 8 pointed star, often the symbol of the Relativists, or the order of Logic, which often take the mindset that passive expansion is the only true expansion. Both however recognize the symbolic depiction of the Cosmic Presence, often being viewed as not alike living beings, and either depicted as the physical manifestation of the night sky; a shattered relic dotted with the broken pieces dotting its surface, or as an amalgam beyond mortal rules, like that of the Taliame’tanya. The standard blessing of Talyiinism is ‘Aher’lye taelye’, often followed or joined with the gesture of cresting one's hand before the face, typically centered around the forehead as a reflection of passing knowledge. Meditation is typically done in private, but can often be done en masse at congregations. Kneeling with outstretched arms is often the most common form of meditation, with some simplified forms of clasping hands before the head being accepted as well. Often one will do meditation or blessings reflected by a page or depiction of sacred geometry, in which one is expected to reflect mentally upon the deeper meaning of each symbol during meditation. Congregation typically occurs in designated holy sites, structures often blessed or laced with ‘resistant’ materials such as Aurum or salts during construction. Great architectural design is put into these buildings, often seeing an architectural link between elven and high-human designs, constructing megastructures often similar to larger cathedrals and chapels with distinct elvish designs rooted into their construction, a compliment to canonist designs but distinctly unique with more elvish tried designs and techniques. Specifically cultivated trees from the original great tree of Fi’Andria are distinctly revered and often planted in holy sites and places of Talyiinist influence, and it is considered an omen if caught flame. However, the far rarer Ivory Tree was specifically cultivated by Talyiinists from Fi’Andria’s great tree, and while only under ten exist, they are typically planted specifically within major holy sites. Holy Orders Abbesses of the Cloth) The abbesses are a female-only order of reverends who dedicate themselves to both the ordained ministration of proselytizing the faith towards other elves, and devoted service to the royal family of Celia’nor. A secretive order, a convent is extremely difficult for outsiders to interject and gaze upon, as the abbesses are both extremely private with their affairs, and sworn to secrecy by the head abbey and sovereign of Celia’nor. While in public many can be seen as warm and kind, they are considered by many as highly dedicated to the orders of their Sovereign, and many undergo either vows of extensive silence, extensive training in subterfuge, or guardianship as personal private guards to the Ibarellan family. Some have given them the nickname as the Silent Sisters as the eyes and ears for the Sovereign of Celia’nor. Most are capable of self-defense and defense of their liege, and often sport light-weight lamellar amongst their robes, and often start their training in the staff. The order is made entirely by armed maidens, following behind the order of the head abbey, or Archprelate in the case there is no head abbess. Night’s Venators) The venators, colloquially known as the hunters, are a suborder of the Talyiinist Symposium, dedicated wholly to the study, hunt, and elimination of aberrations, often being referred to as monster hunters. Specifically trained in their respective fields, Venators are skilled professionals when it comes to the combat of Abberants that threaten the realms, specifically trained to combat the likes of Necros, Witches, Undeads, Corcitura, Ghouls, and other magical or daemonic creatures, some specializing in mundane creatures such as trolls and ogres. The venator order is layered between a cohesive and self-sufficient system of trackers, scholars, duelists, and stewards who manage to keep the order well stocked, but handle the business of selling services out towards foreign nations in need of assistance, where a venator may be sent to help manage the tracking, capture, or elimination of threats for a price. The order is headed by the First Hunter, or elected in chief, and if none is selected it is under the direct command of the Archprelate. Magic, while highly monitored by the order, is encouraged by some members to take up formal support and counter-magi roles. The order is often predisposed towards investigation and hostility of non-standard magic and their users, especially forms deemed hostile by the state or Talyiinist faith. Most however make use of mundane counters to opponents, including Salts, Aurum, and Fire, in which the latest technology is employed by Venators. The Venators are evolved from the former order of Sil'malin, and often compose a selection of armors between the tracker and hunter sub-classes.

The councilor of Celia'nor stared at the missive--was yet another batch of maps gone to waste over the name? A simple shrug was offered "We'll be there soon"

Reminder you specifically came into Celia’nor vc with me and twi to propose dismantling Elysium, giving us their land, amd playerbase, just so you could remove tigergiri and crines. Don’t start throwing rocks at glass walls unless you wanna get into it.

given they brought up the fact the Vale supposedly got ‘harassed’ just shows this was oocly based. Twi, and celianor have expressly avoided the vale for the entire duration of the nations existence due to knowing how toxic the community’s leadership is, and how much the Vale ST have been bad mouthing Celia’nor and twi for months in staff chats, just goes to show that this was oocly targetted. Good work providing further for one community at the expense of others.

Unfortunately, just quit doesn’t work. People come back because they become attatched to these servers. It’s happens throughout all other servers. The only way those servers end up dying, is because admins just keep ignoring to make changes. So if they won’t fix their conduct now, results will occur within time.

As many have seen on Twinny's ban post, a response by the admin team has been finally filled, and further--it was the response everyone already expected. A hollow, overextended excuse for the admin team to remove someone they didn't like. An excuse to abuse their station, and overextend past the rules and checks of this leadership community, all for the sake of dredging two members of this community through double standards because several of the administrators to their heinous, hypocritical obsession over bias towards other nations. This post is going to be locked, most likely, and I will either face punishment, or a blacklisting for even speaking out against administration. The admin team has shown not only have they abused their station by overstepping the mod team's say, but they have provided no evidence, no substance, and no proper quality to their decision. They have effectively banned two players on the schizophrenic concept 'if they stay they will destroy everything', with no evidence besides 'they were being mean, according to other people'. Lets get into the details of the admin response. "While the Administration does not permit bias toward any nation, we do care deeply for each individual player group, and if something would threaten to wipe out their existence as Twi had stated multiple times, this is a problem. This leads to some of the more publicly problematic behaviors Twi displayed which were extremely worrying to anyone with roleplay in their best mind." The team has provided us as the players of Celia'nor and Malin'or a genuine face they have treated us fairly. We were pushed out of a community we held alive for the sake of giving a dead nation back to the same people who kept it under, then let it flounder and die under that same administration. We have been treated unfairly by admin team, who has denied us the same opprotunities other nations have been given. The fact ItDontMatta had came to threaten Twinny that 'I will not allow you to touch Haelun'or' in dms, yet Krugmar dismantling Elysium because 'their leadership is bad' is perfectly allowed. The double standard that the community of Elysium, providing 10% of server activity at the time, wasn't valued at all, compared to Haelun'or, that didn't even pull 2% to keep their nation check allowed. "However, despite this, Twi still would engage in several ooc plots to suit their agenda. OOC threats, ramblings on destroying various nations, their cultures, their playerbases, both in target of an unrelated handful of people and their characters, and simply (with quote) because they could. Twi stated verbosely how they would not stop attempting to destroy other playerbases to the best of their ability until they were stopped by Administration/Moderation, and would then continue to push the limit." If this, loose claims of 'ooc agenda plots' not only are given no details as to what, or evidence, then deserves a deeper investigation into the 'ooc plots' of every nation leader. Krugmar, Haelun'or, and further nations and settlements have, with screenshots ready and available, engaged in 'death war' plots, threats, and insults directed at other nations, with leaders engaging in ploys to oocly manipulate, and bully their way into dismantling other nations. This is not a Twinny, or Monkee exclusive thing, so if you're going to ban them over such a reason, the whole server needs an investigation then. "They would harass members of the Vale and Haelun’or publically pre and post the war, constantly trying to get them to join Malinor through bullying, OOC pressure, blackmail, and other means. When they refused, Twi stated their intention to then conquer them. They’d mention this constantly oocly about how they wanted to destroy them. This need to destroy communities and harass their players off the server, is without saying, unacceptable. The harassment of these players and nations, to make them conform to their demands is against our Mission Statement of Roleplay First. By acting with all these ooc plots with no roleplay intention, driven entirely by ego and manipulation, it is clear that they don’t care for any of the other communities and just want to exert OOC pressure onto other players and destroying their communities whilst manipulating their own into being a platform which enables so." The vale, expressly, has remained out of the mouth of the Malin leadership for months, due to the knowledge the Vale had been insulting us in OOC, staff chats, and treating us poorly, knowing if we even spoke up, this sort of situation would occur. Haelun'or equally, is responsible too for 'ooc toxicity' in which the entirety of the 'republican plot' was a ploy to dismantle the Haelun'or leadership at the time, an OOC plot and ploy that dredged into IC. Where is their bans? Where is their punishment? Where is their fair treatment? The admin team has shown an unfair bias, an overstepping of their powers and checks by ignoring the mod team fully, and deciding to base an unfair ban and treatment of select people they have harassed for months. This requires the Mod team must step in, and demand change, because this will not be the last 'harassment' ban the admin team will conduct.

A blatant misuse and overstepping without consultation of authority, ends up with either a jaded community or team. So if not going to inform this server with a little bit of respect or transparency with how some players are treated and even the courtesy to consult your team and subordinates, maybe stop trying to destroy ~15% of your server activity with target bans. Terrible business model.

“They must be really desperate if they, genociders and purists, try to facilitate themselves as a ‘beacon’ of asylum for the homo. When I see every beetroot in Haelun’or destroyed, I will maybe believe this is more than a desperate death call.” She rolled her eyes at such a missive.

“Oh—so they admit that Haelun’or is no longer if there’s nothing to claim. Equally—funny how they keep talking about the Valwynns seeing as they ceased to exist.” The Ibarellan sighed at the notion, muttering to herself at the missive. “They’ve already embarrassed everything that was Haelun’or over centuries to where even the likes of Braxus—their ‘republican’ movement founder is out of favor with them. It’s embarrassing they’re still whining about the same things. For Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya, they really don’t seem to be in health or prosperity when they’re both dying, and dying under orc leadership like lesser thralls.”

“I don’t even know who any of you are.” Listed the lady envoy.

Literally this conflict ended months ago, giving you EXACTLY what you wanted on an OOCly complaint basis, got your playerbase free of the players you didn't want, got to do everything you want with your settlement and 'prove' you're the master of Haelun'or. Despite this, all that is done is complain that its still not enough, that despite being handed a situation that was completely unfair to a whole playerbase majority; and being granted something so spoiled, near a month later theres STILL complaints that its not enough. When is it ever going to be enough? Because am I going to have to come back here a month later, and see three more pages of just complaints about not getting more?

The elfess could hear the mad ravings of what would be a strange, homeless man outside the citadel raving to himself as if it were an open forum to a piece of newspaper. Leaning over from her perch high above the city by her office, she yelled out in comment "Put on some pants. Stop screaming about beauty when I see no wives in this fishing-clubs 'republic' to a single person. Now stop yelling, get humble, get a wife, and get a job, some of us are trying to work and cant deal with your screaming." She shouted, as only to march back to her office, shutting the door and window to resume writing.

"The fact they are so dug into the sand they dont even know shes not a princess, but Sohaer is the part that makes me laugh." The elfess sighed as she waved her hand to blow cooler air towards her face, as only to set the paper into a neat pile--right next to a pile of shreded paper. "Its a shame we're running out of paper because of pathetic wastes of time like this, but I figure recycling it into new books is at least worth my time." She looked at the paper one last time before speaking "Funny that--no one has actually died. Because /somehow/ they just show up after being bled. Funny, isnt that?"

The lithe elfess nods her head in approval from the desk of her office, speaking at the words of the notif. "We will prevail to a better future, to the right future."
