THE TESTAMENT OF BRAXUS NI’LEYA

 

Issued from the lin of Talonii Ni’leya,

5th of Malin’s Welcome,

Year 60, S.A

 

Lliran,

 

Initially, I returned to Haelun’or, as I was made aware of her terrible predicament. I wished to help her, as she had helped me, so many times over the last few centuries. I, as a Mali’thill, had a duty to her, and to her continuance, and so I returned. Very shortly after, I was appointed Medi’ir, and then Sohaer - a position I have held for many months now. My ambitions grew as the enemies of Haelun’or reared their heads, and so I decided that I should stay on, as Sohaer. Haelun’or was flourishing, yet it could flourish even more, and so this would be my aim.

 

I am sure many have noticed my absence this past week. I have contracted a rather serious ailment, one which I do not believe I shall recover from. It is with great sorrow, that I must resign, with the greatest immediacy, so that I may not hinder the progress of our blessed Haelun’or.

When I began my tenure as Sohaer, Haelun’or was groveling, depressed, and lacking. Due to an unshakeable adherence to maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, elheial’thilln has restored Haelun’or to where she belongs. She is stoic, strong, and plentiful. I say to you all, dear blessed denizens of Haelun’or, that now - Haelun’or is in good hands. My successor is known to all, our dearest Okarir’mali, Idendril Elassidil shall become Sohaer of Haelun’or upon the propagation of this missive. For as long as I am capable, I shall serve Haelun’or, and will continue to work alongside elheial’thilln, as Medi’ir.

 

Haelun’or shall continue to thrive, for it is in her nature. Blessed lliran, I ask that you trust in your new Sohaer, as you have trusted in me, for maehr’sae hiylun’ehya is pursued best, when we are all in accord. I have bridged the divides of Maheralist, Diarchist, Traditionalist, I came not to divide, but to unite - and we have achieved this. Long may it survive.

Regarding the First Eldari Conclave of Ebonwood

 

Issued by Sohaer Braxus Ni’leya

 

13th of Malin’s Welcome,

Year 59, S.A

 

 

Haelun’or was invited to attend The First Eldari Conclave of Ebonwood, called to fruition by the Prince of Ebonwood. Haelun’or decided to attend, as the topic of ‘The Nature of the Silver State and the challenge to the Sohaer’ship of the flock of Larihei’, was to be discussed. What ensued, was rather chaotic, and unbefitting of Mali - as the debate swiftly descended into threats of violence and murder, as professed by Ivarielle, herself - but, what is to be expected of a false ferrymen and fennic ‘princess’. What surprised me though, is that this bandit received a vote, after her barbarous episode - which only leaders of Nations, or dignitaries, or Gwaithor’s received. Remember, Ivarielle is no leader of a Nation, nor is she a dignitary of one, nor is she a Gwaithor - she is simply, a pretender to a throne which does not exist. Or am I now, upon this most royal pronouncement, Malin?

 

I was questioned later on, as to whether or not Haelun’or had engaged in slavery. What is quite odd, is that I had but a week or so earlier, ventured to Elvenesse to discuss with the High Prince and indeed the Crown Prince, this very matter. I had made it quite clear that Haelun’or had not enslaved anyone, let alone a mali’ii - even the brother of the Crown Prince himself, stated such in the presence of the Princes - yet, deaf ears, does the truth often fall upon where matters of power and malice are concerned. The very ‘ker in question has stated this, several times upon his travels, where he so chooses to go, that he is not a slave, but you claim that we have brainwashed him, because you care not about truth, but rather the propagation of your vile agenda. 

 

Farcical, was this Conclave. Haelun’or entertained its conception for reasons of hope - hope that this might be a step towards Elven Unity, through reason and honesty and good intention, yet it proves to be the opposite - a destructive force, aimed at ruining the most populace, active, and bustling Elven Nation on Almaris, for Haelun’or will not bow - she will not concede to those who would see her undone.

 

This is a direct quote from a missive entitled, ‘Malin’s Revelation of Silver and Bronze’, following this Conclave, by the Prince of Ebonwood himself;

 

“we must also acknowledge that Malin’s children do not live solely by words, our history is martial - fighting for causes when there is injustice. The Dominion of Malin, the Principality of Laureh’lin, The Bronze Rebellion, and the Irridite wars reflect a long series of Mali causes taken up by the blade to protect his children - historically against the Silver State, who casted these rebellions and nations as false.”

 

Now, it appears as though the Children of Malin turn their blades against the Silver State, not out of protection, but out of a want to harm. I am sure Malin would be most pleased to see his children slaughtering and raiding Mali’aheral. You speak of injustice, yet it is perpetrated by Elvenesse, by the tribe of Fenn, and now by Ebonwood. You, Minuvas, have perpetrated injustice by allowing a bandit to threaten violence against Malin’s Children, at your own Conclave, without repercussion - for she was not removed, nor was her illegitimate vote revoked.

 

You go on to say, Prince of Ebonwood, that, and I quote;

 

 “The sovereign of the Silver State is the determination of the Thill alone.”

 

How right, you are. However, you contradict yourself by inviting Ivarielle to this conclave and giving her a vote, by your failure to denounce her, for if what you say is true, and you believe it, Haelun’or has determined who its rightful ruler is, and this is I, Braxus Ni’leya, not Ivarielle Ibarellan. Does the Prince of Ebonwood believe that it is a Nation of Mali who ought to decide its ruler, or the metal of Mercenaries and Valah?

 

You have determined, that I ought to stand before Elvenesse to answer for accusations of Slavery against a Mali’ker child. Here is my response.
 

I would be satisfied to know by what power, I am summoned to Elvenesse. By what authority? There are many unlawful authorities in this world - thieves, common highway bandits, upstart ‘Princesses’, et cetera, but now I would understand by what lawful authority I have been summoned. When I come to understand the lawful authority that you claim to bear, then, and only then shall I answer. Remember, I am the lawful, and legitimate Sohaer of Haelun’or. I am not a denizen of Elvenesse, Ebonwood, or any other Nation, but Haelun’or. It is to Haelun’or and her SILVER CONSTITUTION, that I am referred. I am not bound by any external treaty, but find myself denounced, by the very same Mali you intend to see me tried by? You have not the authority, nor the power to submit me to trial by a foreign government - a foreign legal jurisdiction, for supposed crimes I have already consigned to falsity. Haelun’or holds no internationally binding treaties of law or otherwise with Elvenesse, therefore I am not bound to their discretion. 

 

Haelun’or refuses your determination.

 

Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya

PREAMBLE

 

Our motherland has prevailed longer than all other Mali’aheral, Mali’ame or Mali’ker. Haelun’or outlives each and all descendants in her unwavering purpose. Larihei, our first Haelun, had a vision for the blessed progress and health of our settlement. Haelun’or propagates it, not due to political prowess, vast armed forces or submission to others’ sword and shield. Our Silver State is beckoned to a higher purpose, as are Mali’thill across the continent — there is nothing out of reach for Haelun’or, naught but perfection — and this is her challenge.

 

Over centuries of torment and heartache in Haelun’or, contrasting factions such as Sohaerists, Diarchists and Maheralists had fallen to war and crime. Yet, we can find moments of inspiration amidst the chaos. We, the Mali’thill of the Silver State search for value and information at the end of each battle, whatever might aid progress and health, the Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya, within our walls. Corruption and chaos are bound to opposing factions. Yet, we know these contain principles of a modern Haelun’or, constructed upon the traditional understanding of what our motherland was, is and will be. As such, the Silver Council of Haelun’or has implemented this into a new rulebook, a guide that binds itself to a politically neutral state of being — connecting each divide of principles amongst the different factions. 

 

Since the rise of a new government, there have been countless appeals for reform from all corners of our State. In response to these cries, the Silver State has seen fit to safeguard the will of Larihei through a new rule of law. A system designed to ensure progress and health for our blessed citizenry and future generations. I am bound to unite our kin, not divide. And thus, I present The Silver Constitution of Haelun’or.

 

Signed,

Sohaer Braxus Ni’leya

MAEHR’SAE HIYLUN’EHYA

"You served diligently, Miss An'asul." Stated the Sohaer, upon finishing his scan of the resignation missive.

Sohaer Braxus Ni'leya reads this letter. "Mister Orrar was certainly no fool - I cannot wait to hear the cries of delight from our enemies who misunderstand the purpose of this!" He'd chuckle to himself, shaking his head as he places the letter down on his table within the confines of the Citadel.

"Most of us will never be privy to deals struck under the dark of night - in alleyways and dimly lit rooms,  but what strikes me most about this.. intervention, is that Oren has taken the side of schemers and followers of Azdromoth. They side with the Tribe of Fenn and other unsavoury murderers. Why I wonder, has Oren abandoned reason for madness?" Ponders the Sohaer from the top of the Citadel - he looks out over his newly bustling city, sighing as his gaze meets the azure oceans beyond the Silver Bastille. 

"A rather pretty painting." Remarks the Sohaer as he scans the missive. 

"On one hand, we have a Kingdom led by an infamous House of Bandits and on the other hand, we have a Principality - on paper that is - propped up by The Ferrymen." Remarks the Sohaer, chuckling to himself as he strides towards his Hearth - tossing the missive into it shortly thereafter. "Birds of a feather, flock together." Concludes Braxus, satisfied that yet another Schism shall be put to rest by the sheer ineptitude and incompetence of those at the Helm.

The Sohaer paces back and forth in the Citadel, happy to have signed the pact. "A new future for Elvendom awaits - Cordial and Strong shall our relations be." he murmurs to himself.

The Thillaric Confutation

Issued from the Citadel

The 11th of Amber Cold,

Year 54, S.A

MALI'AHERAL,

 

Recently, a missive has usurped my interest. The caustic nature of said missive requires a response from Haelun’or - the legitimate and only successor State to Ancient Haelun’or - as led by the Silver Maiden herself - Larihei Lomahnih. It is from her Ancient College, that we derive our principles of Governance and our guiding Philosophy - elMaehr'sae Hiylun'ehya, which the author of this missive, the self-proclaimed Princess - Ivarielle, blatantly and intentionally disregards, for her own political, baseless agenda. 

 

Laid out in this missive, are the most egregious proposals and errors. Erroneous in nature, and abhorrent upon contemplation. I shall, as is my duty as Sohaer of Haelun’or, unveil, and bring to light, these vile notions.

Haelun'or, shall endure, as she always has, against those who impose Schism. As elVuln and many others contended with Schism, so too shall elMarullral'ito'tennallar.

 

     I.     “I write to you as one who of those who had so left the state to avoid the failings and lethargic dealings of Kolvar and his failed twin of Diarchism,..”.

 

Here, the Aheralic have erred greatly - Kolvar Uradir is no longer Sohaer. During his tenure, there was no Maheral - which means that Haelun’or could not have been a Diarchy while he was in power. Given that Diarchy is ‘Rule of Two’, your claim here is beyond false - but a clear and blatant lie. Furthermore, I am a Traditionalist - that thing you despise most, for it is the purest form of Haelun’or and subsequently, the most apt political persuasion for elMali’aheral to follow - your attempts to deceive el'Mali'aheral shall be in vain - they shall see through your false rhetoric.

 

     II.    “A Princedom - something that has yet to have dawned in the Silver State; for those there know that placing the silver state under a leadership akin to our distant Lari’onnan and Mal’onnan as Princedoms would eradicate their dying clutches on it.”.

 

Here, the Aheralic have erred greatly - Haelun’or does not cast down tradition for a Crown because we fear that we shall lose her, rather, we maintain our traditional form of Government because it is how it ought to be. Haelun’or and her fundamentals are unchanging. Of course, there is room for expansion upon these ideals - for that is the essence of progress. However, they wish not to further Haelun'or, but to destroy it - yet they are so cowardly that they hide beneath the guise of wanting  to 'save' her. They wish to trick you.

 

     III.    “Those who hold displeasure in the state for their practices and ideals of purity in which they dictate how one should look, allow us to come to the middle ground for the first time and hopefully indefinitely.”.

 

Here, the Aheralic have erred greatly - for they have admitted that they wish to compromise on Larihei's ideals and philosophy. A building which at its foundations allows for corrosion, shall soon crumble - such is the nature of those buildings who have at their base - quicksand. The Aheralic wish to dilute Haelun'orian culture to such a degree, that it is beyond recognition - simply yet another Elven Princedom - a direct rival and threat to both Fenn and Elvenesse.

 

     IV.     “For those of you who join, and are of a notable Talonii I so express my desire to reform the ideals of purity to your respective bloodlines..”.

 

Here, the Aheralic have erred greatly - Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya - the Philosophy of Larihei and Haelun’or, is unchanging in kind. It does not fall to the whims of leaders, Sohaer or Princess for it is fundamentally unchanging in essence. Their wish to anathematize Larihei’s blessed teachings further shows their foul intentions. They have more in common with elFenn than they do with elThill. They propose a Principality with certain ruling Dynasties - this is Fenn. They secretly propose the worship of Azdromoth - Fenn worships  Wyvrun. They propose the tolerance of bodily mutilations and tattoos - As does Fenn. 

 

     V.     “Willing modifications of one’s form is now also permitted in the form of hidden tattoos | such must always be done in moderation as to not conceal the full natural glory of those born from the Golden Pools.”.

 

Here, the Aheralic have erred greatly - Haelun’or and her denizens understand the importance of the gift of the Golden Pools and the consequent effects on their bodies. They understand the painstaking efforts by their ancestors to defend and protect their bloodlines and physical appearances - which set them apart from the world. As such, we strive for physical perfect - the intentional scarring of the body, the intentional mutilation of the body is, has and will always be, a mark of the ‘ata.

THE SILVER STATE CALLS: ELMALI’THILL

Issued from the Eternal Library

“The continuity of our people must come before all factionalism and personal desire, no matter their cost and our pride. We must all strive for diligence in the face of ignorance.”

BLESSED MALI’THILL,

 

Kae mal’onnan lari’onnan’ehya,

 

It has been the Imperative of Haelun’or, to have at its foundation, two things; Elmaehr’sae hiylun’ehya, and eltalonnii. Without Elmaehr’sae hiylun’ehya, our people - grovelling, would be no better than lessers who exist purely to satiate their idols, hedonism and baseness. Without the latter - eltalonnii, our society would default to the individual, deifying him and making his efforts and fruits solely his - himself being the only beneficiary. Why should he care for others when eltalonnii is of no importance? As such, from the very creation of Haelun’or, our blessed leaders had the foresight to center Haelun’ors foundations around these two institutions. Mali’thill who practice and maintain Elmaehr’sae hiylun’ehya - who strive to establish a fruitful Talonnii, do not benefit only themselves. They, in their toil and efforts, give to each Mali’thill, something to strive for. The betterment of Haelun’or cannot come from simply oem’thill. It must come from us all - as a collective - each Talonnii doing its share to benefit one another.

 

As such, I call upon eltalonniian of yore to return to Haelun’or with your namesake, to be with the rest of your kin. To take the reins in moving Haelun’or forward - into a new era of progress. Re-ignite your forges, Re-assemble your laboratories, Re-host your symposiums - Haelun’or beckons.

 

 

---

 

“Children of Larihei, separate yourselves from those lesser. Return to your people and reinstate your Nation among the leaders of the world. Revive in yourselves, a sense of superiority, for you are ‘thill. Disregard not, the gift you possess - your Silver Soul, but follow it’s call - flock home.” 

 

- Sohaer Braxus Ni’eya

The Silver State calls: 

 

AHTALONIIAN ELERVATHAR AND VISAJ, that led elmali’thill from the cradle of  Fi’halen to the great cihi of Lareh’thilln, and gifted to them invaluable knowledge pertaining to Arcanism.

 

 

AHTALONNII ELIBAR’ACAL, that always protected the Ancient Traditions of Haelun'or. elTalonnii that gifted Fi'hiiran'tayna to elmali’thill.

 

 

TALONNII SEREGON, that ensured the safety and Hiylun of elmali’thill by their service in elsillumiran and the Clinic.

 

 

SILVOS SYTHAERIN, AND HIS TALONNII, that contributed greatly to Maehr’sae by their tireless work in the Laboratories. Who invented Acid, the great purifier of all who have erred beyond reconciliation.

 

 

AHTALONNII URADIR, PURE DESCENDANTS OF KALENZ, that once led elmali’thill to greatness in the times of the Fringe, uniting Elvendom under the rule of elmali’thill.

 

AHTALONNII SULLAS, PURE DESCENDANTS OF LUCION, that gave mali’thill the Silver Law and invented Electric Evocation. elTalonni of logicians, respected for resolving disputes between residents of Elcihi’thilln.

 

 

TALONNII ALDIN, that made tremendous contributions to the Eternal Library and education of elmali’thill.

 

AHTALONII MIRAVARIS, that ensured the prosperity of elmali’thill by the reformation of ElSillumiran, and numerous public lessons on the teachings of Larihei.

 

 

AHTALONNII LAZUL, that gifted the Dichotomy of Lewdness to elmali’thill, and who always aided the blessed denizens of Haelun’or with their wisdom.

Throughout this upcoming Grand Harvest, there is to be a Silver Fair, one which celebrates the newly appointed Silver Council and the most exemplary parts of maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. It is a day which calls for the return of all Mali’thill, for them to rejoice in the times that are to come within this new breath of fresh air. 

This Silver Fair will be hosted within the lower market district of elcihi’thilln during the Grand Harvest of 54 A.C. There shall be games, a variety of booths regarding the past of Haelun’or, important figures in Haelun’or arriving to tell stories, food, and drinking. All friends of the Silver State are welcome to attend, so long as they remain respectful of our culture throughout the event. 

 

We cannot wait to see you there.

THE ARGENT IMPERATIVE

 

The Sohaer’s address to the Blessed Citizenry of the Silver State of Haelun’or

Issued on the 18th of The Grand Harvest, Year 53 - S.A

 

 

 

Blessed denizens of elcihi’thilln. The time has come for the appointment of a new Heial’thilln - one that will lead Haelun’or from its current plight - one that will elevate her among the Nations of Almaris. Too long, have the Blessed children of Silver suffered the woes of stagnation and malefactors. The time has come to reinstate Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya as our driving principle - to rekindle in the minds and hearts of all Mali’thill who roam this world, a drive for perfection, as our predecessors had. I recall a quote from Malaurir Kalenz Uradir; “With all it’s luster and Blessedness, even elcihi’thilln will tarnish with time without care. It is the Children of Silver who must tend to its spires and make its Silver glisten: Progress”. Haelun'or, my blessed kin, enters into a new era - an era of prosperity and progress. Return home and aid your motherland in her great revival!

 

-

 

The position of Sulii’ceru is reinstated among the council - they shall;

 

- Keep their identities secret to all but the Maheral. An exposed Sulii’ceru will be retired.

- Keep a record of administered marks of any of the Heial’thilln and request the resignation of those who surpass two marks.

- Immediately strip of their title those of the Heial’thilln who are found to be either impure or knowingly violating Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya. In this event, the Sulii'ceru will inform the Maheral who shall ask the violating member of the Heial'thilln to step down (or step down himself if he is in violation). The council member in question will be suspended, pending a vote from the remaining members.

 

The position of Okarir’nor is hereby abolished - the responsibilities of that position shall return to the guidance of elOkarir’mali.

 

As you will notice - there are several positions which have not yet been filled - I assure you, when competent Mali’thill present themselves, they shall be afforded - given their merit, a position among elheial’thilln so that they may serve Haelun’or. Until then, I shall assume and delegate the responsibilities of the following positions;

Ay’Haelun’or!

 

Medi’ir Braxus Ni’leya

14th of The First Seed,

Year 52, S.A

 

Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya

 

It is rare that I get to rest these days - however rest is vital for the maintenance of body and mind and so I have decided to confine myself briefly within my lin, to contemplate the future of Haelun’or. 

 

When I found her, she was a wicked sight to behold - festering. So interred was she, in the graveyard of impurity that not even her own children would come to visit. However, dear followers of Larihei, I say to you with absolute certainty - the Motherland lives! We are mistaken to think her dead and leave her to rot. For I hear within her, a heart that still beats - it is faint, but a low hum. However, where there is life, there is hope. Thus, I intend on a great exhumation. 

 

Haelun’or shall return to us anew. She does not deserve burial, nor does she deserve to return to a lesser incarnation of what she ought to be - thus, I have devised her perfect form - the ideal State of Haelun’or. Permit me to use the analogy of our own Silver Soul, to make clear my point;

 

There are three parts to the Ideal Haelun’or. The Rulers, Soldiers and Common Citizenry. It is those who rule that make policy decisions and lead, which benefits the State as a whole;

 

The Soldiers - Our blessed Sillumiran - Defend the State; they defeat her enemies and they keep public order. 

 

The Common Citizenry engage in the everyday affairs of life - the Sciences, Arts, Construction, Smithing, et cetera.

 

I have identified Four Virtues which will allow Haelun’or to fulfill its function as the Perfect State. They are the virtues of Wisdom, Courage, Moderation and Justice.

In this Ideal Haelun’or, Wisdom is to be found in the Rulers - the Ruler must be Wise in order to accomplish their duty of ruling over the State well. Courage is to be found within our blessed Sillumiran; they need Courage in order to perform their role in the overall life of this ideal Haelun’or. Moderation is to be found chiefly among the Common Citizenry. They must be Moderate in their desires and in pursuing their own private goods. We are Mali’aheral, not Bortu - let us not succumb to greed. However, Moderation extends beyond the Common Citizenry, for the Rulers and indeed the Soldiers must also be Moderate - in their own way. And so Moderation as a virtue, applies to all three classes of people within this ideal Haelun’or. 

 

Justice is the fourth virtue, and Justice is not to be found in one particular class of citizen. Justice entombs the State as a whole - it permeates throughout it in its entirety. Justice, in this instance, is the correct relationship between the three different parts of the State, in which each part does its own job and no part tries to do the job of any other part. This means that the Rulers rule over the whole State with the cooperation of the Soldiers and the Common Citizenry.

 

It is now known, that within all Mali’thill, resides a Silver Soul - this soul is Tripartite in nature, it has three elements to it - the Rational, the Spirited, and the Appetitive [For further explanation, read my previous works on these topics “The Silver Soul”, and “The Tripartite Soul”, in this order]. The Soul is ordered by Reason, who uses the Spirited part to reign in the Appetitive. 

These three parts of the soul correspond perfectly to the three classes of citizen in this ideal iteration of Haelun’or. Reason, Spirit, and Appetite, as I have just mentioned. 

 

The role of Reason is to Rule over the entire Soul. Reason is able to weigh all relevant information and to make choices that are in the Soul’s long-term best interest. Reason, of course, corresponds to the Rulers of this ideal State.  Spirit fights for the soul externally and internally, and helps to keep order. The Spirited part of the Soul corresponds to the Soldiers in this ideal State.  Lastly, the Appettitive part of the Soul is our desire for food, drink, sleep, sex and other material goods. The Appetite knows no internal limits - it takes as much as it gets, unless it is retrained by some outside force or lack of supply. The Appetite corresponds to the Common Citizenry. Remember dear lliran, in our efforts for perfection, we must not become Bortu-like in our ambition - rather, we must not let our ambition turn into greed, for it could be our very un-doing!

 

Justice in the Soul, as with the State, is the correct relationship between the three constitutive elements. In which each part performs its own duties and does what it is by nature, best suited to do. Specifically, Justice in the Soul means that Reason Rules over Appetite, with the cooperation of the Spirited, to govern and restrain the Appetites and direct them towards the Good of the entire person.

 

Those who Rule, Those who Defend, Those who Labour - Different, but Equal - pursuing Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya as One.

 

Let us create this perfect form of Haelun'or.

The Address of elMedi’ir

 

Medi’ir Braxus Ni’leya

6th of The Deep Cold

Year 51, S.A

 

Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya

 

Haelun’or exists as both physical and non-physical - She is twofold; an idea - elMaehr’sae Hiylun’ehya - for the two do not exist without one another - and the physical instantiation of Larihei’s legacy, where every ‘thill ought to dwell. As Medi’ir, it is my intention, as was stated upon my appointment, to protect Larihei’s legacy - both elMaehr’sae Hiylun’ehya and Haelun’or.

 

As is rightly noted under our THE FIRST SOHAERIATE CONSTITUTION - Title II, Chapter II, Article 13 - “The Talonnii is the foundation of our society. The State shall watch over its moral and material stability, for the proper development of oem’ii within our community”. As it currently stands, our streets are barren, our homes derelict and the moral fabric of our blessed Haelun’or, bankrupt. Haelun’or weeps for her missing children. Larihei weeps for the temporary suspension of elMaehr’sae Hiylun’ehya that Haelun’or has experienced as of late. Thus, I have been appointed as Medi’ir to heal the terrible transgressions of stagnancy. Malefactors and agents of Impurity have been cast out. I, a servant of Larihei exist as Medi'ir to give a reason for you, the blessed children of Haelun’or to rekindle their hearths and to call once more, their motherland - Home.

 

There are those who fled Haelun’or for the terrible stagnancy which overwhelmed her - Are you to blame? For recall, even Old Malinor stagnated and thus, Larihei herself was betrayed for her efforts. There are those who fled Haelun’or for the terrible deeds of impure malefactors - Are you to blame? For why should you suffer filth when you are destined for perfection? On behalf of the State, on behalf of elHeial’thilln, and in my authority as Medi’ir, I wish to extend a sincere apology to all of Larihei’s children. You have been failed and let down by Mali sworn to protect you - to nurture you - to guide you in the philosophy of Larihei, the Silver Lady - Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya.

 

I call upon all Mali’aheral, who wish to reside in a city which values elMaehr’sae Hiylun’ehya - a city worthy of bearing the namesake of Haelun’or, to return home. There was a time when Haelun’or was revered for its strides in the Natural Sciences, the Arcane, Poetry, Music, Philosophy, Law, et cetera. There was a time when these noble pursuits were at the forefront of our society, these are the days of old. We have not been graced by their presence in many, many years. Thus I say, let us embark upon a journey - together. My appointment to the office of Medi’ir marks not only the filling of a council seat, but more importantly, fundamentally even, it marks The Great Regress of elMali’thill, to better times - purer times. 

 

To progress, we must regress.

The Consummation of Love

 

Braxus Ni’leya

14th of The Deep Cold

Year 50, S.A.

 

Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya

 

I consign these words to paper on the eve of my Six-Hundred and Fiftieth Birthday, in hopes that I may impart unto you, some of the Wisdom I have acquired over my long and arduous life.

 

It is known to those ‘thill who dwell within Haelun’or, that in both plain sight and behind closed doors, impurity of the body and mind festers. The caustic and corrosive nature of such foul deeds leaves stains, the likes of which can tarnish even the most pristine Silver Soul. Our physical purity is imperative to us, as a race - This is known and has been known since our transcendence, as is our mental purity. Thus, I bring into existence, this work - let it serve as an homage to Beauty and Love - those primordial beasts, so powerful that they may lead the Pure to tarnish and the Tarnished to Purity.

 

Consider, dear lliran, a Mountain, and let us call her Love. You stand before it, unable to see its peak, for it is shrouded by cloud. At the base of this Mountain, is where one finds physical beauty, bodily love - erotic love. This love, is of a strictly lustful kind - one is attracted to another’s body and takes part in activities of the flesh - This kind of love is ruled by appetite, it is the most base form of love but it is vital for procreation - the continuation of our people, so it is not necessarily evil - for being controlled by one’s passions certainly does lead to evil. However, soon you will realize, with the correct guidance, that what attracts you to the body of one person, is not exclusive to that one person - in fact, the objects of your desires are quite commonly found among others. So, dear lliran, suppose you are attracted to one because of the color of their hair - you will find many others with the same, and so your intensity for this kind of physical beauty dwindles - because you begin to recognize the beauty in all bodies - but is this all that love has to offer you? Of course not. You must aim your sights higher. This love must be tamed - it must have a directedness about it - it must be coupled with something else - and so you begin your ascent of Love. This takes us to the second stage of our climb.

 

You find yourself having reached a greater height and with this, greater understanding. You are able to see further up this great Mountain and its intricacies are becoming clearer. You move past your lustfulness and begin to love the person for themselves - You begin to love their soul. The constitutive elements of their mind, their thought processes, their mannerisms, their sense of humour, et cetera. You have reeled in your passions and they are now under control. This, dear lliran, is love of the Soul. You are infatuated by the person for who they are and not what they are. Now of course, you will not be attracted to just any soul - you are naturally attracted to the virtuous soul - the Silver Soul for it radiates beauty - purity. However, as with our previous case - you will find that many souls are virtuous and good. Many are Silver so your intensity dwindles once more until you happen upon a love for our institutions and culture - the very vehicles by which people acquire their personalities. Our values are inculcated by the society in which we live, by our families, our traditions, our laws and cultures, et cetera - but is this the end of love? Fret not - for we have yet to reach the peak - the pinnacle - The Consummation of Love. 

 

We ascend, surpassing the clouds and we traverse the rocky outcrops which have made our journey treacherous - we may now view the horizon with clarity. We have gained so much from our ascent and now we can truly come to appreciate beauty - for the object of our love is beauty itself. Previously, we loved things that were beautiful, that partook in beauty, but now, we contemplate universal beauty - the ‘Form’ of beauty, if you will. When you scale this mountain and learn to appreciate the abstract idea of beauty, this will stir in you a passion to seek knowledge in everything. To seek out the Form of everything. And this, lliran, is our calling. 

 

Throw off the shackles of your lust, reign in your appetites - let your reason, in line with your spiritedness take charge. Seek love in all of its forms, begin your journey of love so that you may benefit us all with offspring, a love of Haelun’or and a most glorious pursuit of wisdom.

 

Love deeply, Love purely, Love knowledge.
