"Protecting a treasonous blood mage?! The hypocrisy." Says Cenwall 

The young Elven leader, stares movingly towards the missive-- a light of innocence has truly escaped him in his longing gaze. Cenwall's lengthy 6'5 frame standing firmly with resolution, moving with a mystical gracefulness only an Elf of high prominence would contain... He would move to the balcony in front of the crowd before him.

"I ask those standing before me to remember, that this is the cycle that we as High Elves have gone through since the start of our blessed existence.  I myself, have full confidence that this will be a blip in the echoes of history-- for we will grasp and achieve greater things!

His voice would raise, as his hands would expel a glorious show of arcanism-- tan wisps flowing around the air as if commanded by a conductor.

"In our long, long lives we have been through it all and yet we still stand. Leadership after leadership, the Silver State of Haelun'or has stood. For we have always progressed forwards, as is the nature of the High Elven race! See this as another cycle in which we must journey through to get to our ultimate goals."

Pauses a moment, the wisps around him halting to a stop.

"Journey with me, my friends, my councilors, my citizens and thrive in teachings and ways that Larihei had laid the foundation stones for us to build upon! For the foundation is strong, and so far has guided us through unimaginable threats. We shall continue to fight all that stand beneath us... Hold your head up high, fellow 'Aheral! For the worst is behind us, and we will never bow down to the threats of impurity! Stand tall...and supreme.

Stands firm, as he looked to his people with hope-- for he knew they would never succumb.

The young Sohaer, Cenwall Maeyr'onn would pen a letter back to the elfess "You can expect me and Maheral Athedil to come. ~Sohaer Cenwall Maeyr'onn"

Footprints In the Dirt

One night a High Elf had a horrific dream. He dreamed

he was walking along a dirt path with GOD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of

footprints in the dirt: one belonging

to him, and the other to GOD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the dirt.

He noticed that many times along the path of

his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very

lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he

questioned GOD about it:

"GOD, you said that once I decided to follow

you, you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when

I needed you most you would leave me."

GOD replied nothing.

At this moment the High Elf woke up from his dream for he realized that the ideology of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya would carry him through his hardships.

The young high elven leader, Cenwall Maeyr'onn would remain unfazed by such insults as he'd throw the paper down into a trash bin-- the bin as
empty as the words spouted on the paper. Shaking his head he would think aloud.
"We value progress and self improvement--yes, but the valah of Horen blood are sorely misinformed to think we allow such anarchy through our halls. All such threats have been dealt with by my hand personally and will continue to be dealt as such... a shame they cannot take some cues of progressing and accept that now the Coalition rules the political power in today's world and not the dead empire of Oren."

A missive is posted around the Silver City

To my most blessed people of the High Elven people,

It is with heavy heart that, I, Cenwall Maeyr'onn, hereby offer my resignation as Maheral. I had led our people from the brink of collapse yet in doing so I had realized I cannot be the pinnacle of purity and lead a nation simultaneously. I had made many decisions that could be seen as impure-- many hard decisions for the safety and security of our state. Decisions not meant for a Maheral to make. Hereby by decree of the Silver Council I am to transition to the position of Sohaer of the city immediate effectively -- voted in with 3/4ths majority vote in accordance to the Ikur'onn system.

To replace me, Athedil Acal'elor will serve as Maheral, for his services to the motherland and his dedication to Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya and the ways of purity. The Maherals role henceforth will be reverted back to the duties of old and be a teacher and guider of our people-- lest we fall back to the decadence and impurity of the past. 

To my citizens, let it be known that we will move forever forward in repairing the deep fissures in our government.  Forever progress, let us not forget where we were.

"I asked  the Council for suggestions." says a helf named Cenwall

Party Proclamation Act, 1632

With the passing of the Government Reform Act of 1632, I-- The blessed and wisest of all ‘aheral Maheral Cenwall Maeyr’onn  pass the Party Proclamation Act of 1632. Many citizens are left out of the voting process with the new bloodline bill pushed. With this I make a party system; A caste dedicated to giving the bloodline-less a clear voice in our governmental process.

Party System

The parties are fluid-- almost shifting and forming on a whim, but to ease citizens into this new system I will lay out two base parties on which to expand from, that are integral to High Elven culture: Conservative and Nationalist. This however is not to fully state that many other people cannot garner enough support to start their own parties. This system is of course to serve the High Elves who feel they have no voice.

Conservative

The Conservative Party of Haelun’or represents those who wish of political reform that tends to lean back to the age of Lin’everal. A more lenient group to outsiders, preferring government policy lean toward kindness of lesser races.

Nationalist

The Nationalist Party of Haelun’or represents possibly the most xenophobic to outsiders-- with good reason. Those who lean in this party tend to support the ideals of the late great, Kalenz. A High Elf leader, who fought for supremacy over lesser races-- Physically, Mentally and Culturally.

Debate Halls

Debate halls are an event held every elven month where the Maheral and Silver Council sit and listen to concerns of the people-- Where the people believe policy should lean towards and influence the powers that be. All of pure High Elven blood are invited-- Regardless of citizenship. Citizens would submit questions given to a chosen moderator to read to the Council to answer. Many High Elves in the crowd may also raise their hands to be called on to voice their opinions and ask questions.

Party Powers

Aside from giving a voice to those who can no longer vote written in the Bloodline Act, 1632 Article I: B, Clause III, party powers extend to pushing a theorized reform that the council can either vote for or against. This process then would move to the Maheral to be either rectified or vetoed.

Government Reformation Act, 1632

“Our philosophy stems both from our minds, and our blood.”

- the opening of the blessed book: the Bloodline Archive

Throughout the centuries bloodlines our blessed kind have forged many systems of government and methods to determine who is pure. As the blessed leader of our kind, I shall further the vision of the malaurir Larihei Lomahnih and Dio Astóre.

kaean'leh thilln chul'okarae mali’aheral

Article One

Our bloodlines are sacred, for well over a century families both notable and nought have had their members and histories etched into the Bloodline Archive. Though for too long we have been blinded by egalitarianism in thinking all Mali’aheral are superior when so few have acted to further the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. Thus, to record all the purity of each bloodline and afford special privileges to those who can prove their ancestor’s adherence to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, the talonnii system is to be established.

A: The definition of a talonnii:

1. A talonnii is an elder family of Haelun’or, having inhabited in the silver walls for at least fifty years and/or had contributed significantly to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya via leadership or service.

2. A talonnii must have proof of a completely unsullied line - the further back in history the better.

3. A talonnii must have at least two-three members who live and participate within Haelun’or. Exceptions may be granted by the Maheral for special cases.

4. A talonnii must have a matriarch or patriarch, who shall serve as a laurir. This laurir is hereditary via absolute primogeniture and initially (after the passing of this referendum) the eldest mali’thill member of the family shall take on the role.

5. A talonnii must be created by edict of the Maheral, which must be recorded in the archives.

B: The privileges of a talonnii:

1. A talonnii is given special consideration in housing, for their members are more numerous and have remained in the city longer.

2. A talonnii matriarch or patriarch is allowed a vote for Maheral (see article two).

3. A talonnii member is allowed to vote for laws and reforms passed by The Silver Council of Haelun’or.

C: The destruction of a talonnii:

1. A talonnii can be destroyed for the following reasons:

   1. There are no members remaining of the family in Haelun’or.

   2. A trial has been conducted proving the impurity of the bloodline.

2. If any of the aforementioned reasons take place, the Maheral may destroy the talonnii by edict, however it may be regranted by appeal.

Article Two

 The system of Maheral appointment first proposed by the Second of the Twin Moles has resulted in unsatisfactory succession crises and the appointment of impures. Prior to that, the system created in the days of Lin’everal diminished the importance of the position to merely ‘ex-Sohaer’. With malaurir Dio Astóre unable to lead us, we must devise a new system of Maheral succession. Because of the establishment of a talonnii system, the decision shall be placed in the capable hands of the bloodlines and previous Maheralan.

A: The establishment of the electors:

1. The council of electors (heial’laurir) shall consist of the following members:

   1. The lauriran of the talonniian.

   2. All previous Maheralan (exceptions are listed in clause II)

   3. In exceptional circumstances, the Okarir’mali shall be called to cast a vote (see section B, clause VIII).

2. Any former Maheral who has been removed via acceptance vote or otherwise declared impure is barred from becoming an elector.

3. Votes for acceptance for a Maheral from this day forth shall not be permitted.

B: The process of nomination and election:

1. Should a Maheral resign or perish, the heial’laurir shall convene within the city. At this assembly, they shall first nominate candidates (see clause II to IV) and second, vote on them (see clause V to X).

2. The only requirements for a Maheral candidate are the following:

   1. The candidate does not have a history of being impure, unless they have atoned for their transgressions by taking the path of purity.

   2. The candidate was not a previous Maheral who was deposed or removed by acceptance vote, or otherwise impure.

   3. The candidate has not acted against the interests of the state or committed any crimes against her.

3. A Maheral candidate is nominated by any elector or the previous Maheral.

4. No Maheral candidate can nominate themselves.

5. Once the candidate(s) have been chosen, the party of electors shall convene and cast their votes. Their votes are not anonymous and they are welcomed to state their reason for their choice.

6. Electors can vote to accept the Maheral, reject them or abstain.

7. An elector is only allowed one vote, being both a laurir and former Maheral is no grounds to have two votes.

8. The candidate who wins a simple majority shall become the new Maheral.

9. If there is a tie, the Okarir’mali will called to cast a vote.

10. If no candidate reaches a sixty percent majority, the candidate with the least votes is eliminated and voting shall commence again.

11. If the majority of votes (fifty percent or more) are for an abstain, all candidates are eliminated and cannot be renominated. In this case new candidates are chosen.

The wise, exalted high elven leader stands firmly above a ledge to gaze at his new army, he'd grip the stone as if attempting to crush the very material-- a grin of pure glee upon his features "The start of a stable High Elven government. My predecessors were weak, deserving all they succumbed too. The start of the downfall of the High Elves started with my late and great uncle, Nelecar... Only fitting a Maeyr'onn restore our great nation from utter collapse." he'd grumble under his breath to himself "Together, we will restore the peace!" Cenwall would shout down to the finely led troops

"Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya." says the young High Elven Maheral as he passes the bill.

Reformation of Weeping Steel, 1631

Security--This fundamental principle of life in a stable nation-state, This aspect of nationhood is what separates the savages from those of more civilized stature. For far too long has it been absent from our lands. No longer Silver but Gold; Corrupted by greed, greed of false power that was not tangible. For too long have leaders promised this fundamental principle. A concept has gotten old to many pure minded ‘aheral-- No longer… No longer shall Mali’Aheral cower waiting for the next uprising or fatal event. We shall be secure.

The Sillumiran

 With this missive, I announce a new leadership change with Arin (@ggteixeira) being named new Okarir’tir, and leading the military for Haelun’or. His presence signals a new change in how the militant branch in Haelun’or is run-- Moving away from small, highly unorganized groups to a large, organized, and standing force. Under his leadership we have already greatly sped up our assets of defense and are speedily making a force, no elf, man or anything in between has ever witnessed. May we continue forward.

Don't get me wrong, pvp is the way to go. Saves you a headache from ooc bickering. I was just memeing tbh lmfao

This is why high elves are superior though... we can literally make nukes, robots and retconned guns with ease due to our magical knowledge, while you LESSERS cannot learn to even make a simple flintlock...

This is a fine rewrite of the magic. Honestly an interesting read, I like it a lot. +1
