An elf tacks a note down alongside the others.
1. The only time anyone is truly united is when you are in the grave. The current situation under Haelunor is acceptable and also vastly preferable however to the disunity and failure that the previous elven governments have wrought.
2. When one mixes pure water with pure dirt, one receives mud, which is neither water nor dirt. It is much the same with bloodlines, let them remain distinct and untainted by intermarriages and crossbreeding.
3. If a few weeds must be plucked from the ground to allow the wheat to grow, so be it.
4. Improve the military force. As noted by another, they are literally trampled over by the local peasant levy armed with pitchforks and torches.
