"So the citizenry is allowed to speak then?" Ibar steps forth, a scowl on his face, before exclaiming in an irate way: "Then so I shall speak! Let it be known that the Sohaer did not only subvert the process of the trial, by attempting to remove Rotharr and others, but also has attempted to subvert the course of democracy. For after the trial which proved her vile association with the Orrarir, she did send impure scum to try to punish me for revealing her true form. The Sohaer dispatched the still deemed-impure Imrassa to try to kill me and was only prevented because Earendur happened to stumble across us before she revealed her violent intent fully— When questioned she admitted she would kill me next when Earendur was not about". "Is this who you seek for a Sohaer, lliran? One who kills her political opponents who do nothing but work within the political system to challenge her? Nae, she is not fit to lead us. This scheme of the Sohaer must end!"

.~- Amidst the Cacophony –~. As the industrious mali'aheral began to construct their new home, one by one elves of old began to show up at the blessed gates of Haelun'or. One by one the mali'aheral returned to their homeland, and with them came those deemed undesirable— Pariahs to the Old Regime of Haelun'or. Apprehended they were brought before a great court of the mali'aheral and three Parir'tir did question them to determine their innocence of guilt. But in the hall, another confrontation brewed entirely. A confrontation between the Spider and Sohaer brewed with the Sohaer's true allegiance being cast into doubt by some of the elves present. And then the Golemancer burst into the room, decrying the court as nonsense. Claiming the cursed accused had been deemed guilty and exiled on pain of death if they were to return. Words were flung between the Golemancer, Spider and Sohaer like throwing daggers. But they were not the only things that flew that day for soon crossbow bolts flew, despite the Sohaer's objection, and the accused found himself no longer whole but splattered upon the Silver Walls. It was then that the Spider spoke, announcing his displeasure with the actions of the Sohaer. It was thus a challenge was decreed. The Sohaer was to battle the Spider in the public realm. And so, before the public of Haelun'or— Their debate began.

This is cool.

An addendum is added: Rotharr also finds himself invited to the League's first meeting.

.~- Practice –~. For those seeking entertainment this eve, The League of Gentle Elves is hosting a practice session for the fencing tournament in 26 elven hours presently. Attend at your own pleasure. — The Gentle Elves

.~- A Humble Request from a Gentle Elf–~. Dearest Government of Haelun'or, I write this to you before your election is complete so that one of the first things done by the new government can be to approve (or, regrettably, deny) this humble request. You see, the Gentle-Elf's league seeks a building, neither particularly large or small, that it can host chess competitions within, hold a small library and construct an underground meeting room for its members. The league intends to act for the benefit of Haelun'or. Space is required for us to be productive. Consider this request, The League.

.~- The Gentle-Elf Tournament –~. It is the duty of any serious follower of the high elven ideal to exercise their mind. The art of Chess is the art of the mind, and so it follows a follower of the high elven ideal will be capable of playing chess, as will any elf of the Gentle-Elf's League. To participate in this opening friendly tournament elves ought show up to the Inn of Haelun'or in precisely 2 hours and twenty minutes. The format shall be decided upon the assembly of all who intend to play. — The Gentle-Elf's League

"Nae, I do not dispute this elf. For it is a simple thing to say that the high elves should aspire to reach new heights!" Exclaims Ibar.

((MC Name: PeculiarPenchant)) Name: Ibar Izalith Age: 130 Gender: Male Origins of your birth: I was born related to the one known as Kalameet. He is, in truth, my cousin. I was born in Aegis, however, long before he was— Though perhaps I am less accomplished due to my times wandering. How long have you resided with the blessed Mali’aheral?: I have yet to arrive properly. Why do you wish to become a citizen of our cihi?: I wish to learn of the kin that I have been estranged from for so long. Is this not a reasonable request? How can you declare you are Mali'thill?: He who questions my bloodline insults me. My blood is as pure as your's. What does maehr'sae hiylun'ehya mean to you?: It is the guiding way of the high elves. What is your personal vision for our blessed race?: For us to grow and prosper under the guidance of the maehr'sae hiylun'ehya. Are there any other details about yourself you wish to relay to the mali’aheral? I am but a humble historian who dabbles in a little magic on occasion, though I'm not any good sadly.

"Oh".

Ibar stumbles into the town "A chance to name the new home of high elves!? Oh providence provide me with words... Ederanati!"

When the departure from Asulon came he found himself alone in Anthos, not wanting to join society properly but not truly wanting to be alone. For a time he lived in Salvus, until it fell. Then he lived a short while in Malinor, albeit he thought the elves mad, wild and inferior to the high elves. Then came the fall of Anthos, and he made his way to Athera. Deciding he had lived amongst the other descendants long enough, he decided to make his way to Haelun’or and live with his kin. But by the time he got there, a coup had occurred and the high elves found themselves subject to Genocide. So he hid, and waited... And now he returns to learn from his kin and forge a new home for himself Now, noticing the resurgence of Haelun’or he seeks to rejoin his fellow elves and form a guild of gentlemen (gentlelf) scholars and warriors.
