“This ideology, this comedy of the aheralic Princedom whom openly support the spawns of Iblees and ally with the criminals that make the murdering of Mali an Olympic sport seems rather funny.” Usamea would comment upon seeing the missive “A shame Norland had to declare a war on us but I suppose they have no idea that this is but yet another attempt over thousands of years, impures trying to take over us. “ Elokarir’san would chuckle along with the rest of council.

We are beings not controlled by emotion however sometimes we make mistakes. This karim a Mali’thill will be brought before pariran’tir, to be judged for their crimes.

[!] A beautifully decorated missive inked upon silver parchement had been pinned to the Haelun’or notice board. To follow Larihei, to progress and learn Written by Usamea An’asul 5th of The Deep Cold, Year 55 of the Second Age The most blessed of Mali shall never cease progress, scholarly work must continue Dear teachers, masters of the arcane, I am writing this missive with a genuine heard and a wish to progress myself in the field of the arcane. I have read more books than I am able to count, while I believe theory to as important as action itself, one may not learn without a teacher to guide them. The artisans of the arcane rarely, but sometimes take upon them to continue their legacy, to sheir their sacred knowledge with an apprentice; so that knowledge may be passed on. I am looking for a teacher, someone to take it upon themselves to ensure that these sacred arts are not lost in time. I am hoping to become an apprentince, to finally begin my jorney as a progressive sorceress. Hard it will be, full of many ups and down however I am prepared. Years of consideration and after hundreds of interviews I have decided that this is the path I wish to take. To whomever this may be of concern, As it was with Larihei, us Mali’thill are perhaps the most fluent wielders of the voidal arts. Thus I am seeking to progress myself especially in the voidal field. I am seeking masters in the following voidal arts: Fire evocation Sensory illusion Voidal translocation Were my search proven unfruitful, a search shall never cease. A Mali’thill shan’t ever stop seeking knowledge. Signed, Usamea An’asul AY’LARIHEI AY’MAHERAL ELESIA ELERVATHAR MAEHR’SAE HIYLUN’EHYA

Genocide of Mali’thill Written by Okarir’san, Usamea An’asul 22nd of The Sun’s Smile, Year 55 of the Second Age Hunted, hated, murdered. Monsters are spilling our blood. Dear Mali’thill, other residents of the most blessed Silver State and whomever this may be of concern, During my tenure as Okarir’san ito’Haelun’or I have seen missives, heard lies and witnessed lessers and Mali’ata sharing misinformation about our blessed bastion. I have come across enemies that wish to slaughter us and to decorate their necks with our ears. Brutal monsters spilling our blood around on whatever ground we walk on. We are hunted, persecuted for just existing. These vicious behemoths claim the realms would be better off without us, they claim we pour acid on everything we do not like. They claim us to be violent beings while having little to no idea what Maehr’sae Hiyulun’ehya truly means. We are not violent, we are not Mali that condone harming others. We are all but humble servants of the State, scholars dedicating their lives to studying and progressing oneself and the Motherland. It is impure to harm another sentient being out of hedonistic glee, one should always aim to resolve conflict with the use of one’s mind and verbal skills. One should rely on a sword only when one’s life is in danger or if someone is a threat to the well-being of one’s blessed body. It is true we are well known for our acid pits, however those are reserved purely to the most abhorrent such as murderers, beings siphoning the power of Iblees and those having non-consensual relations. We do not kill anyone for being impure, we just detest their presence and thus they are banished from our sovereign lands unless they are deemed salvageable; they are offered the chance to regain their purity, to be ‘thill once more. If one is beyond salvation, they may go seek life outside our lands, free from our laws. No one has been killed by a Mali’thill in over a century, however Mali’thill have been killed by lesser beings simply for breathing. Yet you dare to call us violent? Thus I implore beings of the realm to choose peace over violence, no more blood should be spilled over nonsense, over bickering that could be resolved over a healthy debate, a dialogue. If our enemies keep spilling our blood, let me ensure that shall be the last thing you will ever do. While we detest violence, we will always protect ourselves even with force if necessary. I implore all other Mali states to protect one another, while we are different, we are all Mali, children of Malin. The Silver State of Haelun’or shall always offer refuge to Mali who are persecuted by other races. The Silver State is open to those who wish to learn, who will respect our laws and culture. We should stand together against common enemies instead of remaining to ourselves. No more blood should be spilled, the world is but crimson coloured from all these wars.

So the Maheral Returns Written by Okarir’san, Usamea An’asul 22nd of The First Seed, Year 55 of the Second Age For She was the first Maheral, now represented by a direct descendant; the epitome of purity. Dear Mali’thill, The Malauriran have convened, deliberated and chosen after a long while — and their wisdom is beyond questioning — the leaders of the past, after much consideration have anointed the Maheral, the epitome of purity. The Blessed Child, heir to Haelun’or and the daughter of Malauriran Dimaethor and Iaria Elervathar, the grandchild of Iatrilemar Elervathar. She was forced to escape the Motherland ruled under tyranny, she was forced to abandon her kin to protect what was given to her by our Haelun. However, she remained vehement, now returning to the Motherland to ensure progress and health, to lead our kin. Thus we, Usamea An’asul and the signatories, pledge our perennial allegiance to the most blessed, Maheral Elesia Elervathar. May her reign be eternal and may she lead our people into everlasting progress and health. She is eternal, she is the epitome of purity, she is the representative of Larihei. AY’LARIHEI AY’MAHERAL ELESIA ELERVATHAR MAEHR’SAE HIYLUN’EHYA Signed, Okarir’san, Usamea An’asul Okarir’mali, Idendril Elassidil

“I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting an Elervathar myself, however I have heard they obtained quite the arsenal for making an entrance.” The An’asul would smile as the news reached her ears “A true servant of Larihei, the Elervathar talonnii. I now understand what Idendril meant, Ay’Maheral” She would conclude, the elfess shoving cloudberry cake down her throat while hugging a bottle of white wine

"Progress is purity, progress is health" Usamea said as she noticed the missive

“A great choice, Mr Ni’leya is a puritan indeed, a true follower of Her teachings” Commented the An’asul as the news reached her ears

Usamea would wonder where in her missive did it state someone has been banished. Over and over she would read the paper without any luck.

Published as of 4th of the Amber Cold, 50 SA When found guilty of impurity, a once called child of silver is but a tarnished resemblance of all we fight against. While impurity shall not be appraised, we are not beings of harsh brutality. All those who walked these realms as a child of Larihei shall be offered a chance to redeem themselves, to call themselves Mali’thill once more. They will be offered to take the path to purity, guided by a Blessed Citizen whose purity is beyond questioning. Once the guide is satisfied with the path the mali’ata has taken; they shall summon a meeting where all citizens will vote whether this ‘ata will once again be a pure member of our society or if deemed unworthy; they shall forever vacate our sovereign lands and bear the mark of an impure. The guide will task the mali'ata with all sorts of tasks that are to be completed. Mali’ata Orinmon Viradiraar was accused and found guilty of impurity by Pariran’tir consisting of Malauriran. He was assigned a guide who unfortunately is unable to carry this sacred mission — I have been named on his behalf. Thus, I Usamea An’asul as the appointed guide, strip the Mali’ata Orinmon Viradiraar of any and all rights and privileges that come as Mali’thill. Orinmon no longer serves the silver state as nothing more than as a lost individual, once a child of silver now in need of guidance. Orinmon Viradiraar must wear a golden crown at all times and he will be given the title Uthir’ata, the King of the impures. The Mali’ata is not worthy of a name, thus he shall only be addressed as Mali’ata by the blessed mali’thill and other residents of Haelun’or. Were the Mali’ata unable to perform the duties presented before him in a timely manner, nothing but forever deemed beyond salvation is the answer. Signed, Usamea An'asul Sulii'ceru Ay'Larihei Ay'Maheral

“Monsters? Have they no idea how many of our lesser cousins have we saved from the brutals that hunt down our kin. And they think we mindlessly acid others?” Dear Usamea sighed as she saw the response “I am willing to educate anyone who lacks knowledge this much, to teach them our ways. To teach them what Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya truly means. May Larihei guide the path of every blessed Mali’aheral, especially those lost.

As the elfess who wrote the missive would hear similar comments, she would idly state to those around her "To question the judgement of pariran'tir consisting of Malauriran is to question the will of Larihei. Former Maheralan represent the very purity of our blessed bastion, their judgement is not at fault. Those believing to be above the wisdom of Malauriran are nothing but stains to be cleansed by means of acid. Purity of our Blessed Bastion must be restored."

[!] Published as of 21st of the Snow's Maiden, 50 SA The Bastion is ever so stagnant, impurity halting the process of purity. The leaders of the past graced us with their presence to anoint a new Maheral, however, their progress was halted due to impures, such as Mali’ata Orinmon Viradiraar. But fear not Children of Silver, hope is on its way. While our blessed bastion has stopped progressing, the Mali’thill shall never cease living up to the standards of Maehr’sae Hiylun’ehya. It is within my pleasure to announce the names of the most competent Mali’thill that have seen the state of our nation and decided to rise up and to nominate themselves for the position of Maheral. Laurir Alfér Elibar’acal Braxus Ni’leya, tilruir’san Miss Laerdya These ever-so-progressing Mali’thill saw our nation’s cry for help and decided, it was one of them who shall get the ball rolling. I am touched by these servants of the state who will not wait a single moment when the public is calling. May Larihei guide the blessed heial’malauriran in their sacred mission. Regarding elheial'thilln, Sohaer Kolvar Uradir, our state as of now is devoid of Okariran, none but you running the nation. Stagnancy is staining our blessed bastion of Progress and Health. While I ne wish to ignore the work you have done to the Motherland, you simply can not do it alone. On behalf of the Mali’thill and other residents of Haelun’or, I urge you either appoint Okariran as soon as possible or declare the seats to be filled by a fair election. I trust you, Uradir. Aim towards progress instead of stagnancy. Signed, Usamea An'asul Ay’Larihei Ay’Maheral

Pickles are so nasty

Please stop

A Mali’thill named Usamea An’asul would squint at the missive, a smile forming on her face. The silver elf would adjust her leather gloves and head somewhere within the depths of the Silver Citadel of Haelun’or. Usamea would place a nicely sewn blanket onto the ground by the pit and sit on it. A basketful of ripe beets accompanying this pure ‘Thill. “Good soup“ She mumbled as she tossed the abomination of a missive into the acid pit, watching it melt out of existence.

9th of Malin’s Welcome, 44 SA To restore tradition, The Blessed Maheral From the beginning of our kind, we have faced many difficulties, hardships, and even the destruction of our home by evils that stain these realms. By Larihei’s guidance, however, we have overcome and continued to prosper. We have been led by multitudes of great Sohaeran, whose chiefest duties said continued prosperity of the Motherland and the safety of her citizens. Aided by our most respected Elheial’thilln, the Sohaer works tirelessly to maintain our course. However, the Sohaer is but a humble ‘thill, no more, nor less, than any other among us. Right now, we are without guidance. We are without the wisdom of our Mother, Larihei, and her chosen representatives, and this has made us lose our path. Our shared Haelun, she who brought us unto those sacred pools that heralded our rebirth, would be saddened to witness the state of our silver nation. I am but a young Mali, my return to the Motherland recent - yet the stories I had long been regaled with of the cihi upon the hill did not match what I returned to see. Okariran defending lesser cousins when they have broken our sacred laws and rodents working in elsillumiran greeted me. Larihei left in her place a chosen representative, the second Maheral - one that might administer her wisdom, and correct our path, in her absence. Sohaeran, Okariran, Lauriran, and all those of Silver are left unguided without the wisdom of Larihei. The epitome of purity, one we might all endeavour to follow in the traditions of the State, is a vacancy - and this has left a poor example for those that remain. Thus we humbly request the following, The seat of the Maheral shall be filled at its earliest opportunity. Our people shall no longer remain unguided. The Maheral will be anointed by Elheial’malauriran as is custom to our ancient traditions. The Office of the Maelunir will be reinstated within the government of Haelun’or. The Maelunir shall act on behalf of the most pure until the new Maheral has been anointed. The Maelunir will be in charge of upholding the purity of our people and translating the wisdom and clarity of Larihei in the absence of the Maheral. The Maelunir shall also summon elheial’malauriran as soon as possible. The Maelunir shall be chosen either by a fair election between those who wish to nominate themselves for such a position or by a vote by Elheial'thilln (Duly note, the position is temporary & the new Maheral shall appoint their Maelunir). The current Government of Haelun’or, within their discretion, may or may not allow the interim-Maelunir to participate in the workings of Elheial’thilln.
