Lafthi Sylvari

((OOC username:)) Archoly Name: Lafthi Sylvari Age: 768 Research archtype: The energy of arcane and voidal evocation magic. Alchemy when I have the time. Research details: While water, earth and air/wind evocation are all caused by physical particles that we observe in the natural universe, fire and electricity appear to be something else entirely. I hope to pursue what this difference is and to see if fire and electricity are innately related. Potential danger (0-5): While I do not anticipate anything too dangerous, I will put down a 4 as both of these elements can be dangerous if not properly controlled. Space preferred: I would prefer A, B or C.

((If you could get skype that would help a lot. Just PM me your user name))

*A notice hangs on Malinor's noticeboard, quick, concise, and to the point.* "The three new interim captains are as follows: -Aeyrius Oussana -Emanaf Delsaran -Kaldo Raven'kor If all three captains could contact Prince Lafthi Sylvari it would be most appreciated." ((Mind posting your skype's if you have them?))

*sees the notice while he is on his daily walk. After thinking for a few moments he writes down two names.* "Respiren- the Hierophant Salmon Druid Petyr."

*Lafthi Sylvari stands at the well in the central plaza in Malinor, A small crowd is forming, as your curiosity piques you draw closer.* "Greetings my llir, Much has changed in our forest as of late, however, we cannot let a sudden change lull us into a sense of complacency. We still have much work to do. As the Prince overseeing the Lower Council, the following changes are therefore enacted: With Ebs Teluryna stepping down from the Lower Council, Resia Los'iirae has graciously accepted the invitation to join the Lower Council as Steward. Additionally, Golrodir Eritaf has joined the Lower Council as Foreman. The Hall of Labor will soon be posting for needed jobs around Malinor, all interested parties should see him. Finally, and no doubt, the biggest piece of information, the High Council has come to an agreement on what to do with Malinor's current Military situation. After much debate, a decision has been made. I will personally become Interim High Commander of Malinorian forces. During such a time, I will personally be assessing the military and how best to proceed from there. During such a time I will be watching for a someone to distinguish themselves and become to new High Commander. However during that time, I will need captains to help me oversee this force. If you are interested in joining the military or becoming a Captain please fill out the application I will be handing out. Additionally, the new military will be paid and obtain appropriate benefits based on rank, which will be established soon. Any further questions please see me personally." *Lafthi steps down, and begings handing out applications to any and all who want them.* Application: ((MC Name:)) RP Name: Age: Previous Work Experience: Pervious Military Experience: Weapon Skills: Captain Application only from this Point: Why do you wish to be a Captain?: What do you see for the future of the Malinorian Military?: Any other notes you may wish to note:

*As you walk through Malinor's front gates, you notice a group congregating around the well. Working your way towards the front of the group you notice a High Elf holding a rather large book. You recognize the Elf as Prince Lafthi Sylvari. Listening in...* "At last, I finally managed to find it. The record of the Elven Family Sylvari. Within this tome lie the traditions of the Sylvari family as well as an extensive family tree. I have been looking for this tome since Asulon so that we, the Sylvari Family, may be restored to one another. Without further ado..." *Lafthi turns the book around so that all may read it without having to take it.* "The Family Sylvari" Physical Features "The Family Syvari traces the vast majority of it's roots to High Elves. However there have been several branches of both Dark and Wood Elves. However, even with the stated diversity all Sylvari Elves tend to have blue eyes, and be fairly tall. However with their height they are also quite thin." Sylvari Values "The Sylvari family very early on in their founding took the words: "Faith, Service, Study." This family moto has proven to be very descriptive of the Sylvari Family and as such will be be described in finer detail below: 1. Faith- Above all the Sylvari family has been and presumably will continue to be a fairly religious family. However, even though the Sylvari's have taken to be a religious lot, that does not mean they all worship the same deity. While many worship the Creator, the druids among the Sylvari worship the Aspects, and so forth. However, as a combination of their faith and diverse family, the Sylvari are a very welcoming one. Any elf or half elf, or foreigner would be welcomed warmly into the Sylvari household. 2. Service- Second only totheir service of their deities, is the Sylvari's family's service to Malinor. Throughout Malinor's history, the Sylvari's have been very involved in everything from the guard force to the High Council of Malinor. Many Sylvari's find much pleasure in their work for Malinor and thoroughly enjoy helping their kin. However, with their physical limitations most Sylvari serve Malinor either through service to the Lower Council, or taking jobs as farmers and the like. 3. Study- With the Sylvari's tall lithe build, not many have grown to become swordsmen as it were. As such, many Sylvari have grown to become mages, alchemists, or even scientists.Most of the Sylvari family prefer challenges of the mind, rather than of the flesh. Even if a particular Sylvari prefers not to take the path of the magic user, many have taken jobs as scientists and the like, studying anything from the effects of the magic of the Malinorian forests to the effects of redstone. This is not to say that every Sylvari Family member shuns the sword, however most find other tasks more to their liking. Clothing "Most Sylvari choose to dress in a combination of white and green as is tradition, however other colors are often seen too. Most family members wear robes as a result of their magical calling, however those inclined to other pursuits will often wear other garments to match their chosen calling." Love Life and Children "As befits the diversity of the Sylvari family, it is not uncommon to see a union between two different subraces of High Elves. As such, there is some amount of blending in the Sylvari family, that is not seen in the other Elven Families present in Malinor. However, it remains true that unions between the same subtype of Elf remains far more common." Children are raised entirely by their parents until the age of 10. After such time they are often paired with an elder Sylvari as an apprentice. This could include anything from magic to smithing. Depending on the craft, the apprenticeship can last for a few years to decades and decades. Because of the severity of the choice, both the child and the parents would be involved in deciding what craft the child undertakes." Elders "Either through a combination of services rendered, significant discovery, or plain old age, a Sylvari Family member would attain the title of Elder. Mainly acting as sign of respect, if any important family decisions would be made, it would probably be discussed by the Elders of the Family before being discussed among the family as a whole." *turning the next page you notice pages upon pages of a family tree. As time approaches present day, you notice more and more blanks. However there are several blanks spaces where a family member might be able to fill in their information. The newest information seems to be painted in by Lafthi himself, showing his parents two High Elf Parents Aenor and Arvellan and Lafthi as an only child. While it appears that his mother Arvellan was an only child. There are a few sibllings of his father that some relations might come from.* OOC Bit MC Name: RP Name: Relation: ((OOC Info: All family members are entitled to a room in the family manor as well as all facilities with it.

*Prince Lafthi is seen hanging posters all over the city, a bit curious you take a closer look.* "The High Council is please to announce that Tyras McKay, current foreman of the Lower Council of Malinor has agreed to become the Malinorian High Commander. As such he will be given broad powers to reform both the Wardens and Lumidrim to bring Malinor to a full fighting force. Additionally, the position of High Admiral, which was rendered moot under the High prince Kolyat is being reestablished. The position of High Admiral will be responsible for finding a suitable ship-wright within the Holy Princedom of Malinor to craft ships, as well as take command of said vessels. Prior experience is necessary. If you are interested in this position please seek out Prince Lafthi Sylvari. Finally, Mayilu'llirame has been selected to join the Lower Council as our very own Event Coordinator. As such, the positions of Treasurer, and Foreman now sit empty upon the Lower Council. If you wish to fill one of these positions please apply with the appropriate flier." May the Seven Skies Bless You, -Lafthi Sylvari, Prince of Malinor, Head of the Lower Council

Lafthi continues to move about the glen, moving resources into chests, leveling the ground, and helping the druids move the trees. He turns and notices the High Elf and listens to his question as he continues to work. "You shall just have to see friend!"

*As you walk into Malinor you might notice a fair amount of activity going on the south side of the front plaza. An elf or two works quickly to remove the stone and wood that used to be the shop occupying the site. At the same time a druid works to coax the trees out of the glen. It appears that the Elves are clearing the area for something. At that same moment Prince Lafthi walks over and sticks a sign on the gate barring people's way.* "Construction in progress. Please remain outside the fence for your own safety." *The sign says nothing of what is being built, as it is clearly a secret for now. If you are a curious elf, your curiosity might be piqued enough to ask around."

*Lafthi hurries quickly to the notice boards around Luminaire, hanging a small additional note below the first.* "Congratulations to both Ebs Telurnya, and Tyras McKay. Ebs has been appointed as the new Steward of Malinor and Tyras has been appointed Foreman. Both will work to reform the economy of Malinor. Additionally, Ebs will be responsible for housing the citizens of Malinor and Tyras will be responsible for overseeing the new labor system coming into effect. Join me in welcoming them onto the Lower Council. May the Seven Skies bless you, -Lafthi Sylvari

*Lafthi Sylvari scribbles frantically at his desk, writing for one moment, scribbling something out the next. He sits at his desk for several hours, ink flying in all directions, on his desk, on his sleeves, yet the parchment he writes on remains clean. When he finally grows satisfied with what he wants, Lafthi writes out a clean version on new parchment. Satisfied with his work, Lafthi gives his piece one more look over and nods in satisfaction. He then leaves out his front door and walks down to the forest floor. Lafthiproceeds to post the flier on every notice board in Malinor."
