"It took them years to muster a proper response to Ivarielle, and all they push forward is the same man that brought them into this mess? The very foundation of Haelun'or is corrupt, to support degenerates that openly display themselves in the streets, and to work with forces of dark, I hope that nothing else foul is afoot." she comments upon hearing the news.

"Interesting, it seems elections weren't held at all but for some few individuals, unfortunate I doubt we will recognize Braxus as the Maheral." she comments, the blind woman prepares to get to work to undermine this group that seemingly cropped out of the wood works and likely will vanish if Ivarielle ever left to let Braxus drive the Nation into the Ocean.

"Indeed, and they delude themselves, the man himself after arriving in Haelun'or declared himself Sohaer, and even said so to the visiting Kha!" she comments to Ivarielle

"A trustworthy source to be sure." she remarks after having this read to her, going to show Ivarielle.

Laerdya remarks in private after having the read the missive "Frankly, I think killing them is a mercy at this point, considering the degeneracy they are willing to support in order to claim whatever power they can. Who would support a group that backs another that openly declares how proud they are to be without pants, and telling citizens in the streets to not wear any. They are willing to go against Larihei's vision when it suits them, but when one mistake happens by those they don't like, they cry to the world, the world they hate, the world they have openly taunted, about how unfair it is. Ironic to call us hypocrites, when you are below 'ata, you are a reverted reprobate.." The woman carried on with her insults for many hours, having the creativity for such, and the knowledge to appreciate the words, unlike those evil and pants-less republicans.

Laerdya prepares to destroy this with facts and logic. "My work will be unending." she simply remarks.

"This seems to be clearly false." A woman remarked after having the missive read to her, not paying single attention to any of the points that this 'ata wished to explain. "This sounds like one of those Elves who are happy to declare they are pantless, and wished to expose themselves for all to see, utter impurity."

"I agree, these rebels, these 'ata, those against Larihei must be driven out!" she remarks after the missive was read to her

Laerdya gave a dip of her head at the missive after Guide had read it to her "As I've said time and time again, these so called republicans are only liars, who consort with the dark for their own gain, who run at the face of danger, they will pin upon us their own failings, we must resist this at every turn, do not allow them to place blame upon their own impurities on us. Haelun'or will rise up once more under the Silver Phoenix."

"Guide." she simply said, as the micro-atroanch became alert hearing it's name spoken, quietly speaking so only Laerdya could hear, she then commanded "Give this fellow the second last missive you read to me." And so the micro-atroanch grabbed ahold of the missive that remained in her satchel, before plopping it in front of this prideful Elf, Laerdya then simply commented to the Elf "I do believe this is one of the insurgent's writings, given the contents that I had read to me. Not once have we called for slaughter, we only seek to defend our home from those who would cause chaos, and then blame those they caused chaos against, it is unfortunate that you, who claim to have 'aheral blood, who says they would follow the facts, logic, and truth, truth no matter how bitter it may taste, opt to constantly ignore it. That is the view of 'ata, to ignore truth, to stand with dark beings, to gain power for power's sake. Ivarielle has the people with her, we merely wish to exist in our home without disturbance and to suffer mockery, as it is impure to perform, and none of 'Aheral blood should have to deal with in Haelun'or. Hopefully in time, you will come to see the truth, and it will set you free. I will not humor most of what you said, because frankly, it is deranged conspiracy. It would be interesting to see what those who oppose Ivarielle do in their private meetings, but given your calls for violence, and these bizarre comments, I fear it would only lead one to become 'ata. " "Ay'Ivarielle, Ay'Larihei. Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya." (( Link to the 'second last' missive ))

"This is the democracy the want, who are to define the pure, they want to control the vote, and we will not let them." she remarked, after Guide read these words to her "Remember what I've said constantly my lliran, these are the words coming from those opposing Ivarielle who spoke of killing us if they had the chance. All one can hope is those who currently oppose her see reason, lest they be betrayed and murdered behind close doors, for none to know."

Laerdya ponders this shouting from a crazed Elf, recalling what a similar Mali said some other day, she merely remarked "I wouldn't wish to enslave you at all, you would be of little use. You can not fight, you can not speak a single coherent thought. Actually, I will list off the only thing you and your Hydra followers are good for, complaining."

Oh no.

Once more did this Mali’thill treads up to the SIlver District, to take stand to address those within Haelun’or, though a writer took note of this woman’s speech, to spread as a missive across the lands. Once more I ask you of Haelun’or to hear my voice. Today, these insurgents have sent missives through our wonderful city, their nature revealed. I’ve had this missive read to me by Guide, and it calls Ivarielle’s forces naught more than mercenaries, and ‘Fenn ‘bandits’, yet I know many Mali’thill have been defending our streets from this petty attempt of an insurrection. They decry us for violence, yet they call for each other to arm themselves, so they may take us out, one by one, like I warned they would with my last speech. Shall I remind all, that the man Varus approached me, Warhammer in hand, when he was attempting to cause dissent with those who support Ivarielle, yet he tries to declare me violent, when I call upon a llir to assist me, as I feared for my life, when I would have been unable to defend myself if this snake attacked me. I knew that they perform an action like this, these insurgents to Ivarielle’s rule, are simple minded, thus their actions were known to me before they even committed to them, they are cornered, they are unable to match our numbers, they are unable to match our skill, they are unable to match our ability to defend our people. So in an attempt to take control of the city, they will try and stir violence, any slip up that those that defend our great city state, after months of stress, of unceasing duty to protect our home, would be taken and called upon as injustice, yet they have created this conflict, it is them who sow the seeds of chaos, those who plot in the shadows to try slander our name, by telling half of a biassed story, with an agenda to take control of the city for the sake of it. This ultimately proves they are not of Larihei, and that Larihei is on our side. Larihei creates, not destroys. If they were capable of protecting Haelun’or, if they were capable of proper rule, they would have not lost the city, not have so many Mali’thill who actually think, upon facts and logic, as all those of ‘Aheral blood should. This is merely a transition, this is merely change, but they refuse it, for they are not of Larihei’s flock, they are ‘ata at heart, all they care for is power, to claim it as if it were a precious thing to be hoarded, like the impure would with gold, believing it to be their birthright, despite all of us being equal, and that we ought to earn the right to lead. Together, we must stand, we must stand for progress and change, not these rebels who are the true ‘ata, those who would slaughter you if they were able if they believed that you were a threat, for merely calling for chaos to stop being spread. Ay’Ivarielle Ay’Larihei Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya And so after giving her speech, she went off, a smile upon her face seeing her lliran in the streets, enjoying the peace that Ivarielle has secured for all this fine Elven day.

"Ironic. After all the rebels have tried saying." she remarks, as she heard of these missives, beginning to prepare to give an address

Guide informed Laerdya of this note "This Seabreeze seems a wonderful addition to the Silver State of Haelun'or." she remarked, before going to sleep.

Laerdya gives a dip of her head, knowing that Ivarielle will keep her word in this matter, knowing that if the rebels were to try and make a promise, they would not keep it, as they would merely flee at the first sign of trouble!

A Mali’thill treads forth upon the slight podium, located within the Silver District of Haelun’or, it had been a long two days indeed, of riding to allies, of assisting where she could to drive out the enemies of the Silver Phoenix that tried to lay their roots within the city. The sash wrapped around her waist blew with the gentle breeze that rolled over Haelun’or, as her dulled eyes blankly stared over the once again bustling city. Tales of this speech may travel far and wide, the ‘thill did not care if the enemies of the Silver Phoenix, of Haelun’or, of Larihei, heard them or not, for they are of little consequence. As she stepped furthermore, her fingers clasped around the cane she held, that retained bark upon its form, a set of hands laid upon the railing, and so she began her speech. “Hear my voice! These past two Elven days have been filled with chaos, chaos sowed into our city by those who refuse to accept that Ivarielle had Haelun’or handed to her justly. There are likely some of those who do not know my history with Haelun’or, I will briefly explain, I arrived in the Silver State several Elven Months ago, my intentions were simple. I wished to help Haelun’or however I could, I had assisted the old barkeep and had plans to aid with the agriculture of Haelun’or. But I left, like many others at the time, I believe only two remained. This was due to Sohaer Kolvar Uradir’s inaction, the lack of a Maheral, the lack of progress caused many to leave, so as Larihei did, dissatisfied with Malin’s Realm, many of us left in search of what we innately yearn for, progression and knowledge. I did from time to time, briefly return to look upon the matters of Haelun’or as they unfolded, as Sohaer Braxus Ni’Leya had obtained the position Sohaer, his tenure during such, is disappointing, to say the least. I knew from one event, that this man single-handedly is the reason Haelun’or suffers so as it does today. In a room from what I gathered containing twenty individuals, he spoke of a better future, of how he was going to form alliances with the other Nations, even those that support Ivarielle’s claims at the time. An individual spoke up, are these Nations to be trusted? They had asked, informing Braxus Ni’Leya of the events that had supposedly transpired in Oren, of how the Emperor was murdered so another may take the Empire. His response, in this very public meeting, was to remark. ‘Which of these snakes are to be trusted?’ He rhetorically inquired of the gathered crowd. Not a single alliance was signed, from what I recall, with Sohaer Braxus. With his remarks, he painted a target upon all who resided in Haelun’or, and put countless lives in danger with careless words. Anywho claims to be a leader of a group has one ultimate duty, the duty to those that follow them, to protect them from the dangers of the world, to aid them when missteps are taken, to guide them to a better place. Though as a result of Sohaer Braxus’ words, whatever hope there was for a peaceful future was tarnished with a single sentence. After such, my visits became rarer and rarer, as I sought out whatever knowledge and skills I could, because despite my efforts, to try and warn Sohaer Braxus, to offer mercy, to listen to reason, to change for a better future, he simply refused, completely unaware of the dark clouds he brought upon Haelun’or and himself, for he believe he could do no wrong, so he did not listen to any others, despite whatever warning any could have been given to him. His response to the Princedom’s movement was simply to belittle it, yet twice he was captured, to give Haelun’or peacefully to Ivarielle, but he spoke like a mad man. Simply pretended that we were not a threat, for that we did not exist, that no Mali’aheral of any kind would support Ivarielle’s movement. Blatantly, he was dead wrong. We existed, hearing the insults as our people and rightful home was being dragged through the dirt, yet still for months did she offer mercy to them. Some Mali’aheral simply do not understand our ways, and of how the world functions, we are a people of progress. Progress is change, of moving forth into a brighter future. Progress is rebirth, as Larihei’s pursuit for progress ultimately blessed the blood that flows through us. No longer will we suffer fools who can not change.” “Some might call into question Ivarielle herself, that she is naught but a murdering bandit, so tell me, if she were a murdering bandit, why has she dedicated herself to Mali kind, to Larihei’s flock. I recall when Fenn was set upon dark retainers, that sought to kill the Fennic people, she stood forth, and with power that she had gathered and trained over years, unleashed a colossus inferno to drive them right back, though this was without great strain upon herself as she fell upon the snow-covered ground. Others would have perished doing what she did, but by Malin’s Blood, by Larihei’s Blessed Blood that flows through her veins she survived and awoke in due time. She was willing to lay down her life for what she believed in, to stand with her people and allies, but I hear no tales of such bravery from those who constantly slander her name, at the first sight of ‘trouble’, they flee as fast and far as they can. They have to spread constant lies about Ivarielle, to slander her name, to make her feared, because ultimately, they have no other recourse. Through her talkings of individuals, not constant attempts to brainwash those who follow her, like those of the Hydra, were she able to sway the entire realm against Haelun’or’s old leadership that was frankly stagnant. She has from nothing, formed an invincible force to protect all Mali’thill, yet none since Kolvar sought to build a force to protect their own home, and as such be unable to deal with the Voidal Hollow that threaten all within the realm. No longer will we suffer from leaders who are impotent.” “They lie constantly, yet they change their lies at the same rate they spew them, I am unsure if their lying is on purpose, or if they’re genuinely unwell in mind, having grand delusions overtake them. Anywho were ACTUALLY present likely know what I speak of that unfolded in Haelun’or, a crazed Mali the prior day was speaking of conspiracy, of some hidden national power that was taking control from the ‘rightful’ National power or some such claim, and that the ‘women’ were taking control of the city. I was furious, at such slander being spoken, the unfiltered opinion of a Mali who is convinced that Mali’thill women are evil, such are primitive views not befitting of our kind, but yet, I also felt sorry for him. The Hydra has utterly deluded those who have opted to follow him, into nothing more than lowly, deranged insurgents. First, they claim that we, those who truly care about progressing our people, are nothing more than ‘invaders’ from Fenn, but then as that outburst I spoke of tells, some shadowy National power that lies in the waits, to randomly seize control of what they already controlled? Such monumental claims, though they are conflicting, are they not, lliran? They attempt to deceive those who are unable to be around, in hopes that they will believe their falsehoods so that they may gather support for their stagnant cause. It was ironic that the Hydra accused me of violence, yet he approached me, Warhammer clutched within his grasp, before quickly fleeing and shouting in the distance, like the coward he is. Yet they claim they speak for the majority of those who are older in Haelun’or. Is this the legacy they believe that you and our ancestors taught, through your words and actions, to believe and spread erratic lies, to attempt to sway the opinion of whoever listens to the vile they attempt to sow? To act upon and hold primitive views upon gender? To try and disrupt what should have been a peaceful transfer of power? No longer will we suffer attempts to destabilise Haelun’or.” "So I ask all you, lliran, to simply stand together. We must remain vigilant at all times, they will simply take hold of what they can, be it through attempts to take buildings, or your opinion to taint them with nothing more than slander. Make no mistake, these people, if given the chance, would’ve taken you one by one, to butcher you, as I know they have done before. Do not fall for the, they will constantly and thoroughly attempt to pick through anything those who have sided with the rightful Sohaer Ivarielle, and even fabricate lies if they so believe is necessary in order for them to regain control of Haelun’or for their own benefit, not the Mali’aheral. For those who still remain undecided in this conflict, in this battle of the very meaning of Haelun’or, of the Mali’Aheral, if you are of ‘Aheral blood, I implore you, to speak with Ivarielle in person, not third hand accounts of those who barely have met Ivarielle, let alone not even spoken with her. For those who would seek to sow more chaos upon the blessed land Haelun’or, you are not welcome. You are nothing more than cowards that deserve nothing from the blood and sweat of the labour we have spent, for your actions against Haelun’or hold us back. The world is watching us, lliran, make the right choice. We should not be found wanting, however this attempted and pitiful insurrection ends. With pride I call out. Ay'Haleun’or Ay’Ivarielle Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya" So the woman concluded, a rare smile upon her face, as she turned to step away from where she stood, a passionate display of her thoughts upon the state of affairs.

A woman wonders how such even happened, there was no war in Haelun'or.

"With pride, because of Ivarielle, I will shout for all to hear!" she exclaimed aloud for any to hear, before another call "Ay'Haelun'or, Ay'Ivarielle! Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya!"

Laerdya comments to A'eollaja as she heard the woman speak in passing "I had read to me your missive! It was wonderful to hear."
