15th of The Amber Cold 1574
Restless - a word often applicable to the High Prince, an elf with the straight posture akin to a seasoned soldier. The one proclaimed King of all Elves, now a High Prince of his Dominion lay tossing and turning within his small, makeshift quarters set up within the supposed supposed taxing building. A quiet sigh concluded his seemingly endless movements and stream of thoughts, sitting up and peering down at his beloved wife whom lay beside him; an ever present expression of worry splayed across her features. A few soft murmurings and a gentle smile reassured her before he stood, tucked her in and headed out of their small, compact room.
Moving outside to be greeted by a cool breeze of air rolling through the city of Linandria, his tired expression soon melding into a stern, grim demeanor as he appeared in the public; as if it was a necessity for him to put on this look to his people. They knew him to smile little and almost always speak sternly, unless on special occasions that allowed some joy to pierce his otherwise somber features. He meandered through the city aimlessly, passing by his forge where he worked day by day creating tools for him to mine with, and armor to fight with. It was an endless grind, that perilous task of mining, smithing, and fletching bows for his people so that they may be prepared for battle. They asked for more and more, draining the young elf of his happiness and soon becoming a tool to his people, one that he sought tirelessly to do his best for. He was tired, there was no hiding it, any elf upon the streets at any time of the day could see the heavy bags beneath his eyes that gave way to his wariness.
“I do not even have a home yet..” he laughed to himself, affording a rare occasion of amusement as he arrived at the stop of the steps to a flat space above the throne room. A grand home he had planned to erect upon this soil, but instead focused upon building homes for his people, seeing to it that they had what they needed. Even allowing pews and a stage for a wedding and feast to be set there, caring more about the bonding marriage between two elves than his own home.
He thought back to his once unified Elves of the Dominion, how his entire goal throughout the near century of his leadership were to bring them together under one banner. Yet he knew it was impossible that the three branches of Mali’ could ever live together, he still wished for them to be joined; in some way. It had worked for some time until a mistake of his, one that he tried profusely to amend was exploited and used as a manner of propaganda to break away his unification of elves and shatter his goal. At first he wished to kill them all, how dare they rebel and have propaganda created to demean his hard work and actions, to slaughter them as the fabled White Rose did to the Malinorians of old. But upon that day he killed those elven rebels upon the fields of war, he no longer sought their unification, believing it would only bring more death and bloodshed to a race that produced few offspring. He did not want their death any longer, only the desire the preserve his kind.
There was always more that he could do, mistakes to rectify, and people to scold. His duty was never one that could be finished, it was an endless task that could only be ended the day that he decided to resign from his position as High Prince and hand the title over to his successor. Yet the task would still not be finished, simply handed off to a successor, and then the next, and the next. He believed a leader could never be finished with his duty, that when one task was completed, another arose that require mending.
He thought to himself about his arrival to Axios, stating to his council, his wife, and his child. “Just one more month”, yet his duties always made him stayed latched upon it longer than he wished. For a very long time he wished to resign from this position that he held, but never was he able to due to problems that would arise such as wars or issues within the Dominion itself. There were few times that he had the chance to resign without ruining his legacy, those rare occasions being spent to relax and prepare himself for what storm was to inevitably come.
No more, the elf finally made his decision and walked to his throne with a slow gait, his eyes seeming to savor the walls around him and the simple, yet fitting wooden throne he sat upon. From a slot beneath his chair he withdrew a stack of parchments, a quill, and an already filled inkwell that he began to write with. Every problem there was, and every one that would soon arise would no longer become his burden, placed upon another. With this very notion, he began to write smoothly across the parchments laid before him.
=+=
“To my people, not only those of Linandria, primarily the wood elves but those that the entirety of the Dominion encompasses. As I sit here contemplating the legacy I will soon be leaving, I cannot recall the exact year that I took my initial position within the Mali’ame. Firstly as a simple drill master, one whom found himself fancying a cocoa skinned Mali’ who was to birth my first child, and also become his murderer. To Princeps where I found the lovely wife whom I still stay with to this day, Praetor, Prince, and possibly another title that may have skipped my mind.
For a long time have I led the Mali’ame, and by extension created the Dominion of Malin which broadened by reign to Mali’ker and once Mali’aheral. Sixteen elven months. That is the time I have held this position, consistently seeking the improvement of the Mali’ and only wishing for them to become better, day by day.
We were once struggling, crippled by the purist mind of the Mali’aheral. My decisions in the past, close to a century of leadership have been more than controversial, yet one cannot deny the sheer fact that the elves are no longer as shattered and weak as they once were. Given that, our people are still spread far and wide among the several Nations, we are still in a much, much better place than we were over a century ago, and beyond that.
In the past couple decades I have grown tired of my duties, rapidly becoming a husk that led his people and only sought their improvement, nothing more. I became more of a being that was rarely seen out interacting with his people, more commonly found in the forge hammering away so that our Sirame could be well armed, fletching bows and arrows for great hunts or war, the mines where I beat rocks tirelessly to amass resources, and in the throne room where I held the meetings with our council, or visiting Nations.
It is time I resign, and leave the mantle of High Prince to whomever the combined council of Arbiter Dak’ir, Prince Artimec, Prince Ac’aelu Tinuvial, and Princess Titania Hawksong to gather and choose whom my successor shall be.
I hope that whomever takes my position handle it with responsibility, and should they fail to, and prove unhealthy to the Dominion shall a new leader be elected for the betterment of Our people. Otherwise, I’ll return briefly to beat you all senseless.
Therefore I, High Prince Tristin Tresery of the Dominion of Malin resign from my position so that another may take its place. May the Aspects guide you, Councillors, and our people to a better Elven Kind.
Signed,
Tristin Tresery of the Dominion of Malin

Extremely fitting for any leader.
First I’m sorry if the post sucks I don’t ever write forum posts so I’m not as seasoned in the art of formatting. Secondly I’m not quitting the server, just resigning from leading the welves and putting my focus into whatever RP I feel like going into. I’ve been doing this from half way through my Sophomore year of highschool, and to the beginning of my Senior year. I was twelve or so when I first started out on this server, fifteen when I started leading the Welves, and seventeen now. Sixteen months of doing this and I’ve decided that it’s about time I let someone else take over (probably leo). I’ll still be present in the welf community/chats, but no longer be in any leading position/etc with them. Any welf should have my skype, or easily be able to get it, so if you want to say anything feel free to pm me over that platform. You guys have all been pretty great, spare the several dozen times I’ve yelled/scolded people for making stupid mistakes, I’ve enjoyed my time leading nonetheless. Have a good one!

What is something you have always wanted to change on the server?:
Player retention is a huge aspect of the server that I've always wanted to see changed so it does better for us all. Let it be the staff communicating with players regarding decisions that they're making before they do. Many times I've seen the staff make decisions that ends up enraging the community/making them very displeased with the outcome. In the outcome to these situations the player base is left angry, which leads to players making rash/stupid decisions that the moderation team has to inevitable deal with. This then leads to an irritated and tired moderation team that has lost their patience to even discuss the topic further, let alone reason it.
My desire is to change that, so staff decisions are made based upon both the wants of the players, and the moderating effects of the GM team. A healthy balance in between that may not fully satisfy either, but is far better than having to deal with the inevitably angry players, or tired moderators.
What is something you would like to change on the game moderator team?:
The largest thing I would like to change on the staff team is the ability to keep things that happen in roleplay, in roleplay. This doesn't mean situations that were handled poorly/breaking rules/etc, but legitimate roleplay situations that occur and with proper reasoning shouldn't be stop by OOC barriers unless completely necessary. I do understand however the staffs view point in regards to certain matters that need to be stopped with OOC barriers for the sake of maintaining playerbases and not having them be completely destroyed by actions in rp. This isn't because the staff wants to make players mad, but for the good of the server and maintaining its place as the top roleplaying server on MC.
That is something I believe players need to understand, and not be angry at the staff for. But when it comes to situations that are handled in roleplay, and do not harm the server severely, it should be allowed to happen for the sake of this being a roleplay server that should have very little staff involvement in roleplay unless completely necessary.
What are your finest qualities?:
I think my ability to sit down and see both perspectives of a conflict and understand either of them so that I can handle a situation appropriately is one of my best. When a conflict happens, I do my best to see both sides and think to myself or consult others so that I can make an appropriate decision.
Furthermore, I'm a hard worker. If I'm given a task to complete or something difficult I'll complete it to my fullest abilities. This means I will literally slave modreqs roughly 80% of my time on LOTC because I'm always looking for something to keep me busy.
What are your worst qualities, and how could you improve these aspects?:
I think I'm a very blunt person for my age, and am not opposed to telling someone the truth about their ideas/actions if I think it was foolish/stupid of them to do so. Several times I've been told this and I can agree that its a flaw of my own.
I'm not particularly the nicest of people but I will also do what I need to do. The best I can do to better/improve on my bluntness is discuss with another uninvolved staff member and/or player on the current subject so that I can handle the situation in a better light if its problematic for me. If I believe I handle a situation badly, or have any sort of bad feeling/second thoughts about a decision I have to make, immediately I'll find another staff member to consult so that I can make the right choice.
I'm unsure if this is a bad quality I'm supposed to be mentioning but my ability to participate in the forums is severely lacking. I pay far, far more attention in game than I do checking the forums and really only come on to read interesting topics/announcements that I need to. To my knowledge it is still a GMs responsibility to moderate the forums at times when forum moderators need assistance/ are not around to handle a storm or another arising problem that requires staff attention.
I can improve upon this by checking the forums more often and seeing to it that those who do break forum rules are dealt with appropriately. I just need to look at the forums more often really, that's it.
What members of the current staff could you look to for guidance?:
Of all staff members Freema is the staff member that I would look towards/discuss with guidance regarding a situation. To my knowledge he is the most experienced GM to date on the staff team and has far more knowledge regarding how to handle player disputes/bans/conflicts than any other. When I say experience I mean total time as a GM, as Freema has been in and out of being a GM a few times, but every map since Anthos he has been one.
Who do you not get along with on the current team?:
I don't believe there's a single person on the staff team that I would struggle to get along with. I believe I know most GMs and have spoken with them in numerous occasions. Fireheart however can be a huge pain to deal with when he decides to throw a ranked game going 0-12-7 on Bard during my plat 3 promos.
https://gyazo.com/5600cf5fae0850ba61b23d34a3f3fa84
How much free time do you have? Will this change in the foreseeable future?:
Currently I'm in New Mexico for the summer visiting family, but I still can manage a few hours a day at minimum on the computer. Whether it be late at night or during the majority of the day there typically isn't a day that I cant get on at all. The only excuse for that being if I'm out on some road trip vising family a couple hours away for a day or two, but never longer than that and very rarely.29 -
Most of the people that giving -1's to Leo are because they didn't like him beforehand for probably some shitty and dumb reason and are just going to say -1 because of what he did to lose it in the first place. There isn't a single GM on the staff team who hasn't made a mistake before, either rulebreaking or some **** up as a trial that ended up crashing the server. He made a mistake and manned up to it, didn't try to hide and say he was in the right. He admitted to being wrong, and knows what he did is wrong. People make mistakes and they learn not to do do the same again. Leo as GM did very well in what he was supposed to do.

Mali'aheral,
The hour is late and I must rest so that I have the ability to respond to the onslaught of posts you'll have prepared for me when I'm awake, surely. Meet with me instead of writing, meet with I, Tristin Tresery so that I may attempt to rectify these mistakes, and action can be had. Refuse to meet, and there will be no action.
Signed,
Tristin Tresery

"Mali'aheral,
No allegiance holds more importance to me than my people, Mali'aheral. For years, the true state of the Mali'ker and Mali'ame have been at peace and happy with each other, yet, the only obstacles to our unification have always been your kind. You sit behind walls of ivory and write away, attempting to leach away and what you can manage a grasp upon. Why do you again prevent the unification of the Mali'? It is the only goal I seek, and I shall sit here awaiting a letter from you to speak formally, one on one so that we may discuss peace between our peoples yet again, as the Dominion proved. "
Signed,
Tristin Tresery Of the Dominion Of Malin

"Damn." Malin said to himself quietly upon reading the flier from the his study upon the isle he had been nearly all by his own hand. Malin let out a quiet groan, his shoulders briefly rolling and his lips curling into subtle frown. "Tis as if every post that comes from the Mali'aheral since the age of Kalenz is written by the same person, always the same pretentious *****." Malin chuckled softly to himself, procuring a sheet of beige parchment from his right, staring at it's blank depths with a quill in hand before pushing it aside. The young Malin leaned back comfortably in his seat, talking to himself whilst looking behind him to examine cape that hung, detailing something about woodworking or of the sort. "It was simpler in those days, without having to deal with the tantrums of high elves when they don't get what they want. I preferred Avern more, she was an annoying one no doubt, but lacked the extremely oversized pair that Kelthran does, likely swelled to perfection by some unlucky Warhawke. Most rebellions are simple temper tantrums by manchildren who didn't get what they want, and then their are the typical blood thirsty 'leaders like those of the Dreadlands ' at the ready to fuel their tempers and focus it upon a single object, or obstacle. Those types just need a spanking to get put back into order." Malin mused quietly to himself, taking up the parchment again and beginning to scribble upon it. "Likely wont do anything due to them refusing to listen to my 'Tyranny and Orens Oppression' upon the mali'."
"Children of Haelun'or,
Take a moment to step back, and if possible away from your inflated egos to realize your current situation. What would most likely happen if I wrote this letter about Oren and the Dominion, and how history has proven it's impossible to lose, your leaders would begin to preach about how 'corrupt' my Elven mind is with Oren's 'oppression' upon us. Look around you and realize what has happened to the Mali' since we were first introduced to Oren when every state was vassalized beneath them. They gave us a helping hand, and raised us from the ground to where we are now, and in return asked for little but to offer them in assistance in war, nearly every battle being a victory that only filled us with more pride as an Elf. They haven't oppressed, and they still do not. If you believe that somehow the Mali' are oppressed, please send me a letter and we can discuss such matters, I'm happy to speak with my people, King or not, it's a title.
The next topic, look around and realize who your allies are. Warhawkes, known and branded as snakes to the elven kind as they attempted to slaughter and betray their Arbiter, Dak'ir Des'nox for no good reason during the dukes war, and bringing with them human allies to assist in a purely elven matter. Dreadlander, mercenaries who have been rumored to worship and praise the being known as Azdromoth, a Drakaar akin to Setherien of the fringe, and seeking the same goals. Use your head, you pride yourselves upon intelligence but do not realize you ally yourselves with a threat that nearly slaughtered all of our kind. Orcs, the same who demanded your blood and heads upon a pike just a few years ago, raiding your cities yet failing to penetrate the might of your Vigil. You proved yourselves to be better than those green-ilk, yet you spit all over your achievement by allying with the enemy. There is also the worthy mention of their true goal, spreading their 'taint' across the lands and seeking to devour the world in it, have you seen it yourself? If you've not, walk outside the deserts of the Orcish lands and notice the barren, dead lands that this plague has consumed, and continues to. You've seen their threats to the Druii, to all who interrupt their tainting, if they're not stopped, your silver walls soon be a lovely hue of green and corruption. I don't believe the Mali'aheral particularly fancy death and decay eating away at their city and lands, lest I'm mistaken and have forgotten your people. Next, those of Courland, whom I simply don't care about and should've kept their rebellion human to human, instead of being craven and calling in foreign forces to assist them in seizing the Empire for themselves.
Furthermore, when have the Mali'aheral worshipped or even respected Malin? For a long time you've denounced his ways, you care nothing for Malin, and have proven it over centuries of time. You call yourself a true son of Malin when it's clear you are not one, as he wouldn't want this to occur. The title King was taken to give hope that there would be a figure to unite the Mali' to be together again, yet I've failed. I admit my failure, but not a day goes past where I am not trying to further the progress of the Mali', their unification, and make us better.
It is likely the vast majority of you will not even read this, nor particularly give a **** and continue on in your lives. That is the way of most Mali', to not care for those affairs around them and only for yourselves. I plead that you think and realize the position that you're in, and how surrounded by hostile enemies you'll be after this war if by some odds you manage to win. To be blunt, as I am typically am, realize how absolutely fucked you'll be, perhaps not immediately, but in years time you will. I care for all Mali' and admit my threat towards the Silver City of Haelun'or was uncalled for, and give my apologies to our Sohaer and the rest of the people. This apology is far too delayed, and rather short, but I do apologize for my actions, and daily still continue to seek the unification of the Mali' so that we can only grow stronger day by day, to something of much larger significance than history has made us out to be in times past. I am sorry, lliran. If I must relinquish the title of King and return to the Malinorian High Prince to prove this to you, so be it, the title is not what I'm attached to, it is my people that I am; and my people are all Mali'.

Tristin Tresery of Laureh'lin20 -
Agreeing with what Leo said above, and adding an addition to it: Siri is an amazing writer, highly intellligent individual, and also extremely creative. I think she'd be a great addition to the team. +1

14th of Snow’s Maiden, 1558
To the common citizen of Seahelm and Norland,
War never changes, and neither do men.
Rulers declare war, and men do the fighting. You citizens of Norland are not politicians, or rulers or kings. You are simply small-folk who settled into a promising frontier.
Yet you’ve raised up arms and entered a another war. Not as defenders of your homes and families, but as conquerors, putting out to sea on your floating fortress and a steaming vessel stolen from the dwedmar to launch an invasion on Felsen. A city home to families, tradesmen and soldiers like yourselves, woman and children like the ones you care for.
You are not in this war for a moral reason, nor a righteous reason. This is what Earl Ruric tells you to fill you with Zeal and Pride. Let us go over the facts.
Are you fighting for freedom?
Were rights infringed before this war? Did Emperor Sigismund impose restrictions upon the citizens of Norland due to their species or their colour? I think not. Was the Empire an occupying force on your homes? Or was Norland a holding given to your power-seeking Earl Ruric?
Who terrorized your homes before Ruric raised his banner and declared rebellion? Was it the Orenians? No. It was the Dreadlanders. The very same Dreadlands you fight with now. You have let your leader convince you to side with the very men who brutalized you for so long, side against the Empire that fought alongside you and had done you no wrong. Not only did you let him convince you to do this, you believed that you were fighting in the moral right.
Thomas Ruric, ever the honourable northman, rebelled against the nation that had given him everything. He sided with brigands who prior had done nothing but harass his people, and countless other peoples across the continent.
Why did he do this? Because the Empire had granted him half the island your city of Seahelm is on. He wanted all of it.
This is not a war about righteousness, freedom, or the moral good. You, the common man of Avar, are dragged into a war you have no business being in due to the whims of a mad ruler with a lustful desire for relevance, power and land.
Is your enemy really your enemy?
This war was not founded on Imperial aggression. It was founded on the nature of uruks, and a band of opportunists seeking to live above the law. Although no formal state of warfare was declared- it was the Dreadlanders and uruks who began encroaching into Orenian territory. Burning their farms, kidnapping their wives and enslaving their children.
Yet despite all this, your ever honourable Earl Ruric has managed to convince you that the Empire you fight is an oppressive, domineering force with thousands of poor souls under its iron fist.
Indeed, the largest nation on the continent is an easy one to demonize. And certainly the Empire is not without its flaws. But do you truly believe the lies old Ruric is feeding you so you will be the pawns he needs to gain the power he so desperately covets?
The Empire is a diverse entity with dozens of cultures, people groups and traditions. From the Krajian Hetmanate to the the Turkins in the east, from the hardy men of Courland to the vineyards of Savoie. And of course, we cannot forget the sons and daughter of malin. The elven race, divided so long by infighting and civil war could never have become the force it is today without the support of the Empire which it willingly fought for so decades before.
You men of Norland were once part of this diverse web. One of many peoples who maintained their own customs, culture and traditions, but lived under a united banner. Ruric has torn you from this, and now you fight against your former friends, alongside bandits who pillaged both you and them.
How can you claim to be fighting an oppressive Empire... when instead of facing slave-soldiers, you face a staunch army of loyal warriors. A dozen levies of men and elves, chanting in unison for GOD, the Aspects, and their Ancestors?
We are defending our homes from invasion. From aggressors who come into land that isn’t theirs and terrorize it. This is our burden, you were fighting the same righteous fight until your leader turn-coated as well.
When Thomas Ruric came to the imperial palace that fateful day, he did not ask to be given all of Avar. No. He demanded it, alongside the horde of orcs and dreadlanders he arrived with. Sworn enemies of the Empire. Yet, he victimizes himself and acts as if the Empire wronged him by imprisoning him for approaching the heart of their lands with a swarm of their enemies.
How can you blame an Empire for raising arms against you, when you forced their hand by fighting alongside brigands who have done nothing but burn?
Can you win this war?
Your Earl Ruric launched his naval invasion on Felsen believing he could. He misjudged the Empire, whose morale had been lowered by a string of defeats in petty border skirmishes and lightning raids. Yet, at sea he was crushed by an armed, fed and prepared Imperial force. Nortruppen and Dreadlanders alike driven back to Avar, their invasion halted.
Now, the Empire lands to retake the lands it gave Ruric. To bring peace back to the realm.
We men and elves are prepared now. It’s army rallied, its morale raised once more. This is no unprepared haphazard force your Dreadlander benefactors have preyed on like vultures. This is an army.
Seahelm is a city. Not a fortress. It will fall, you’ve not the fortifications or numbers to hold it.
This does not mean you need to die. The Empire cannot and will not punish every single citizen dragged into war. Many of you are fighting due to delusions of freedom which you already had, and delusions of Imperial impression which does not exist. Many of you are simple men, who, under different circumstances would be our brothers in arms.
Lay down your arms. Forsake your Earl Ruric.
Put aside your one-dimensional notion the Empire is some singular entity bent on your oppression.
Let it be known that any soldier of the Nortruppen who takes off his uniform and publicly swears to no longer take up arms in this war shall be treated akin to any Imperial citizen, with respect, protection and a guarantee of peace.
Sincerely,
Imperial Viceroy of Oren and King of the Dominion of Malin
Tristin Tresery
With the Blessings of the Emperor
