〚 ❂┇ ═════════════ - ‹ ≺ ☼ ≻ › - ═════════════ ┇❂ 〛 THE MAHERAL SIMPLY IS Issued by the MAHERAL 8th of The Grand Harvest, 256 S.A. When first the mantle of Maheral fell unto me, it was during a time of great peril and uncertainty. My ascension was not of my own choice but of the Motherland's, for she lacked a guide to lead her through the storm. As the Children of Silver set foot on new land, I can attest that we have weathered the storm and enjoy renewed prosperity. Having seen the duty that was bestowed upon me by the revered Malaurir Avern'dionne Fi'talareh to completion, I believe I have but one task ahead of me. As the light of Larihei fades from me, I can conceive of one final duty to the Motherland, to illuminate a new guide of the Mali’thill. I can think of no wiser or more learned hand to direct the Blessed Populace than Malaurir Silvos Sythaerin, who previously held the seat to great acclaim. This bestowed honour comes as the result of careful deliberation with Malaurir Sythaerin and his proven unwavering loyalty to the ancient Motherland. As such, Silvos Sythaerin is now Maheral, for the Maheral simply is. May he guide us all in Larihei’s wisdom. liewyn'Larihei eltaeleh walehe ohn vallein eltaliyna walehe maehr'sae hiylun'ehya

EMPOWERED BY ANCIENT TRADITION, I DO, AS MAHERAL; SUMMON MYA RIANETH AND ANNYERIR TO PURITY TRIBUNAL. “Oh tremble, you who test the principles of our people, the unwavering staunch stand against both dark and division. Oh fear, you who claw at the tall silver walls of our blessed bastion, delusional attempts condemned to fail. Oh dread, you who are summoned to the Purity Tribunal, where deceit and depravity meet unyielding justice and the triumphing truth.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar The Children of Silver are teeming with accusations of menace, a testament to the tenaciousness of the Mali'thilln to cleanse our state of all ill. Rooting out impurity is an eternal battle, though paramount for our permanence. Without the struggle await only toil and everlasting torment. With the Blessed Citizenry as witness, MYA RIANETH and ANNYERIR are to be brought before justice in the Silver Citadel. To shield tradition and silver, philistine attitudes and unprincipled beliefs ought to be fought when they sprout. Should the accused not appear, they shall be tried in their absence with their nonattendance taken into consideration. All are urged to submit evidence and report all illicit tendencies the two have shown. Until their names have been cleared with the Blessed Citizenry as audience, they are temporarily excused from their respective duties and responsibilities in Haelun’or.

〚 ❂┇ ═════════════ - ‹ ≺ ☼ ≻ › - ═════════════ ┇❂ 〛 MALI’THILLN PROVIDENCE To the Blessed Populace of Haelun’or, We find ourselves in tumultuous times, but I assure you, there is no cause for concern, for we have endured much worse and persevered. Whether the Mali'thill will again reach unparalleled prosperity is not in question, for it is our destiny. I have witnessed the unconquerable spirit of our kin time and time again, emerging from any struggle with renewed purpose and vigor. We, who devote ourselves to the ancient Motherland, must remain steadfast in our duty to ensure the safety and security of our State, now more than ever. The events that transpired over the past few Elven weeks made it clear to all that action needed to be taken. The republican system had again crumbled into disrepute. Having failed the Mali’thill, it ultimately fell to our Maheral to act. Empowered by ancient decree, our Most Blessed used her sacred prerogative to dissolve the Silver Council, echoing the heroics of Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar in Fi’halen. Now, through the wisdom of our Maheral, we may begin to move forward and forge a new administration in the coming days. Let the inspiring show of unity in yesterday’s Public Assembly serve as a sign of our providential return to glory. For it is known to all, the Children of Silver remain eternal. maehr'sae hiylun'ehya As signed by, Kolvar Uradir

It was my first idea to have metallic armour play a role, however, I could not find offcial lore stating the conductive properties of all armour. It felt like there was a risk of falling down a rabbit hole so I just stuck with the standard 'heavy armour reduces dmg' line. However, your suggestion of inversing it for light armour is interesting and I will look into it, assuming it doesn't cause complications. Yeah since a regular critique of these writes is that they are not precise enough in the language, I went in the other direction in being very descriptive. But I do agree with the point and I have adjusted some of the language to be more fitting while still hopefully conveying the same meaning.

ELECTRICAL EVOCATION – O R I G I N – There are few experiences that can evoke both awe and unease as the sound of thunder and the sight of lightning. Therefore, it should come as little surprise that the emulation of such a phenomena has captured the interest of numerous mages down the ages. The history of Electrical Evocation has been tumultuous, rather like the magic itself. With the rediscovery of this ancient art, much of the latent power of Voidal lightning has been diminished, but not lost. From the Void, there still remains vast potential to harness the destructive force of the storm. The means to channel raw power through one’s fingertips has always been a tantalising prospect for many an ambitious mage. To wield such a chaotic form of Voidal magic is not a matter of restraint, but of dominance. The electromancer does not deny their impulses, but refines them, bending the chaos to their will. True mastery of lightning demands the strength to shape disorder into purpose. Those who devote themselves to this path stand to wield one of the Void’s most awe-inspiring forces. – M A G I C E X P L A N A T I O N – Electrical Evocation is a form of Voidal magic, wherein the mage pulls crackling arcs of sparks that mimic the appearance and behaviour of lightning from the Void. Like all evocations, it requires the mage to connect to the Void, visualise the element, and draw it forth into the material world as their desired spell through focused willpower. In order to achieve success, the mage must be familiar with the element and well versed in the use of Voidal lightning. Electrical Evocation is notable for its reactive, volatile nature, offering a balanced blend of offence and utility, with a preference towards disruption and precision. As Electrical Evocationists grow in experience, they gain the finesse to wield Voidal lightning in complex ways, from jolting bolts of sparks to orchestrating full arcs of controlled, crackling storms. As a Voidal magic, Electrical Evocation requires 1 magic slot and being taught by a valid TA holder. The maintenance of spells and progression of tiers is subject to currently accepted standards for Voidal connection. Tier Progression: General Properties: Lightning Burns: Nervous System Definitions and Explanation: In the interest of fairness and quality of roleplay, it is the responsibility of the Electrical Evocationist to clearly outline and communicate the effects of the spells they have cast to prevent any unnecessary ambiguities and disagreements between parties. GENERAL REDLINES Core Electrical Evocation spells do not reflect the scientific properties of real lightning or electricity. Electrical Evocation spells cannot power electronics or machinery. Electrical Evocation spells cannot directly stop a beating heart. Electrical Evocation spells cannot chain between targets or ignite materials, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Electrical Evocation spells disappear as soon as the mage is disconnected and follow all currently accepted Voidal connection guidelines, including line-of-sight. The physical consequences of Electrical Evocation spells (e.g. lightning burns) are not reversed upon disconnection. Non-deployable Electrical Evocation spells cannot travel through solid objects or pierce through liquids, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Electrical Evocation spells will function on a damp target as they would on a dry target, with no additional effects. Electrical Evocation spells cannot produce a volume of sound loud enough to damage hearing. Electrical Evocation spells must be telegraphed by visible, but harmless, crackling sparks around the caster. An Electrical Evocationist cannot control real lightning, only lightning conjured from the Void. An Electrical Evocationist may only upscale a spell to their maximum tier. Combat Specific Combative Electrical Evocation spells travel at the speed of an arrow, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Non-deployable combative Electrical Evocation spells that impact a body of water (minimum 1 block in size) will electrify it for the duration of the casted spell’s direct contact with the water. This electrification expands the size of the spell from the point of impact up to a maximum radius of 5 blocks within the water. Anyone within the electrified water will be affected by the spell, with the impact targeting all parts of the body in contact with the water. Combative Electrical Evocation spells cannot target gaps in heavy armour with precision and will always impact the armour if worn on the targeted body parts. For reference, armoured targets are considered those wearing anything greater than half-plate, i.e. heavy armour. – S P E L L S – Spells are labeled by the tier in which they are unlocked, and once unlocked, an Electrical Evocationist is able to freely upscale and downscale the tier of its effects as specified in the mechanics, expending the mana cost of that tier. All emote counts specified are inclusive of connection and cast. CONJURE SPARKS [T1] – Non-Combative By envisioning the crackling essence of lightning within the Void and drawing it into the world, an Electrical Evocationist may conjure vivid but harmless arcs of lightning. These sparks, flashes, and beams of lightning may be composed into any shape the mage desires. THUNDERBOLT [T1] – Combative The fundamental combative spell of Electrical Evocation, Thunderbolt allows the mage to unleash a sudden arc of volatile lightning from the Void toward a target. Though lacking the lethality of true lightning, it delivers a burst of zapping force from the caster. JOLT [T2] – Non-Combative Sometimes a jolt is all it takes to stir a consciousness. This spell allows an Electrical Evocationist to emit a harmless, controlled surge of Voidal sparks to rouse a naturally unconscious person. STORMCLOAK [T2] – Combative The Electoral Evocationist may create a defensive cloak of volatile static charges as a means to protect against and repel projectiles. NERVE ZAP [T3] – Non-Combative In understanding Voidal electricity’s potential to disrupt nerve function with lightning burns, a mage may precisely utilise the numbing property, targeting only the nerves to aid those in need. ARC LIGHTNING [T3] – Combative By acting as a conduit for Voidal lightning, an Electrical Evocationist may unleash Arc Lightning, a continuous stream of electricity that courses rapidly through the air, delivering sustained shocks. CHAIN BOLT [T4] – Combative In focusing one’s efforts in replicating the conductive nature of electrical charges, the Electrical Evocationist may channel a single burst of lightning that leaps from one target to the next in quick succession. An essential spell to aid in staggering a group of enemies. IONIC ATTUNEMENT [T4] – Combative Through greater understanding of Voidal lightning, an Electrical Evocationist may enhance select spells with additional force and volatility to render severe lightning burns on a target. However, the spell requires additional time and concentration to pull off. STORM CALL [T5] – Combative Having gained a fundamental grasp on the nature of storms, an Electrical Evocationist may rain down a disruptive barrage of Voidal lightning from the sky onto the battlefield. VOLTAIC WILL [T5] – Combative Voltaic Will is the apex of mastery over the art of Electrical Evocation. Aptly named for being the manifestation of destructive will. Devastating barrages of lightning converge into a singular colossal beam from the caster, with the sole purpose to lay ruin to one’s enemies. – P U R P O S E – The intention of this write is to embody a form of Voidal magic that offers distinctive and thematic disruption to targets. While many elemental magics focus on immediate damage or direct environmental manipulation, Electrical Evocation stands apart by offering nervous system disruption and muscle impairments to its targets, resulting in a unique set of consequences in both combat and non-combat scenarios. From a thematic perspective, lightning is a quintessential fantasy magic, seen across all fiction, including LotC for many years. It’s no small secret that issues have plagued this magic in the past, a common one being the conflation between real lightning and Voidal lightning. A key goal of this write is to clearly define the magic so as to avoid any confusion over the most basic fundamentals and to give it properties that relate to the idea of lightning without all the unintended abuses that could entail. Additionally, this magic seeks to be distinct from the other elemental evocations without simply resorting to being a fully passive magic or an anti-fun full paralysis magic. Unlike the straightforward damage of Fire, Electrical Evocation emphasises precision and disruption. It introduces the concept of lightning burns, a mechanism that doesn’t scorch, but instead affects the nervous system of the target, leading to symptoms of numbness, muscle spasms, and the loss of precise bodily control. This makes it more than just concussive damage dealing commonly associated with Air or Earth Evocation spells. Instead it adds a layer of tactical depth by forcing targets to respond not just to the magic’s impact, but to the unique prolonged consequences it has on their body. – C I T A T I O N S – – C H A N G E L O G –

THE SILVER LAW Issued by the ASULIR 12th of The Deep Cold, 151 SA CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I – THE OBVIOUS LAWS CHAPTER II – THE DICHOTOMY OF LEWDNESS CHAPTER III – THE RETURN TO PURITY CHAPTER IV – THE SILVER TRIBUNAL CHAPTER V – THE TIERS OF PUNISHMENT INTRODUCTION “Rooting out impurity is an eternal battle, though paramount for our permanence. Without the struggle await only toil and everlasting torment.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar The Silver Sanctum is built on Laws and Principles well-rooted in maehr’sae hiylun’ehya and the teachings of our forefathers traced back many centuries. It is the view of the Asulir that the reintroduction of The Obvious Laws and The Dichotomy of Lewdness is imperative for the next step in our march onwards. CHAPTER I THE OBVIOUS LAWS “The venerated society of the mali’aheral will not tolerate those who cannot abide by the simplest of civilised behaviours. For those who are incapable of deducing such things (or philosophers who tend to debate the existential qualities of “laws” and the purposelessness of attempting to order a world that is fundamentally chaotic, or perhaps something equally irritating) I shall write a guide of laws that should be, to most civilised beings, obvious.” Malaurir Lucion Sullas ARTICLE 1. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate unsanctioned violence. This applies primarily to acts of physical aggression upon the Mali’thill. Such unauthorised violence will only be permitted when absolutely necessary - for example when one finds themselves in immediate danger and self-defence is required. ARTICLE 2. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate theft. Theft is frowned upon greatly within our venerated land. As a society we are called to craft, develop and earn our own belongings. To steal from Haelunorians is to disrespect the work of one’s bloodline and to bring shame to your own. ARTICLE 3. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the meanderings of unscrupulous and alien wanderers. Those who are deemed unworthy will not be allowed entrance. Those who are allowed within will be on a very short leash. Should they irritate enough of the citizenry, foreign beings will be ejected--by force if necessary. ARTICLE 4. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the purposeful tarnishment of purity. Purity is not in the eyes of the beholder. It is in the venerated manners of our Mali’thill ancestors where we find guidance in purity. It is not enough that one’s heart is pure--for only when one’s mind and blood remains unmuddied can true purity be gained. ARTICLE 5. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate the disgraceful and irrational destruction of written thought. Knowledge and written thought are completely imperative for the progression and preservation of our people; a custom rooted in maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. The unsanctioned destruction of tomes of any value within the great library is to be treated as a crime akin to both unsanctioned violence and theft. ARTICLE 6. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate purposeful mutilation of oneself. To ensure the bodily purity of all citizens, the mutilation of one’s body for reasons aesthetic is forbidden. Medical licensing and governmental approval can be acquired by those with individual needs, but the harming of one’s own body through piercing and other means is, as is necessary for soundness of mind, to be rejected. This extends to the dyeing of one’s hair. ARTICLE 7. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate attire which obscures one’s identity. To ensure the safety of the Mali’thill, and indeed of all Blessed Citizens, it has been determined that the wearing of overly large hoods, helmets, full masks, and other forms of obscuring perception of identity both through worn attire and magics is hereby banned among all non-citizens and non-mali’thill of Haelun’or. ARTICLE 8. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or will not tolerate slanderous public speech by untempered tongues toward invited guests, allies or the Empire. All in Haelun'or will remain courteous and hospitable to all invited guests and denounce any who publicly slander her allied nations or factions. The scattering and distribution of slander and anti-purity propaganda concerning the Silver Empire of Haelun'or puts the stability and health of the populace at risk. CHAPTER II THE DICHOTOMY OF LEWDNESS “The filth accumulates, not in the sewers, but in our very streets. The waste that pollutes the once clean walkways of Haelun’or is carried in the hearts of her children. To purge the city, she must expel these waste-bearers, for they are disgraceful, lliran. Our city weeps, and her silver tears leak away the memory of a once great civilisation. Larihei lives in disrepute, and we are to blame. We have not lived up to her.. Examine your hands, and the hands of your lliran. It is time to wash away the filth of the streets." Anve’vuln Lazul ARTICLE 1. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in physical fraternisation outside of marriage. This crime disrespects the very nature of the matrimonial union. Unmarried citizens who physically fraternise disregard the purpose of procreation and cause unruly distraction, emotional disruption and in the worst case scenario - consequences of bastardisation, a terrible crime, considering it taints the reputation of an otherwise innocent mali’aheral child. ARTICLE 2. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation with an oem’ii (an oem’ii being any mali less than fifty years of age). Oem’ii are indeed the most precious safeguard of our kin. Subjecting an emotionally immature mind to such matters is unacceptable. ARTICLE 3. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in public fraternisation of an overly intimate nature. A disrespect of peers and the Empire’s dignity itself, those who violate this covenant of Haelun’or’s sanctity deserve not to walk her halls. ARTICLE 4. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation of any intimate sort with impures or other races. Preservation of life itself resides in the idea of purity. To lay waste to one’s untainted mali’aheral blood is a crime no less potent than murder of another citizen. ARTICLE 5. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in fraternisation of a homosexual nature. All who engage in intimacy in public or private with a member of the same gender should be treated as unclean, dirtying the sights of their fellows with such a display of uncivilised, unproductive lust. ARTICLE 6. The Blessed Citizens of Haelun'or shall not participate in incestuous fraternisation of any kind. No self-respecting mali will need explanation as to why this type of behaviour is both obscene and illegal. CHAPTER III THE RETURN TO PURITY “You are more Mali’thill than you admit. Learn of your ancestors, of the past, it will guide your future. Restore honour and pride in your long wayward heart.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar The Path to Purity is an ancient process. The Mali’thill are a people of mercy, offering that which will have true lasting impact; re-education. As the Mali’ata has wronged our venerated race, they must seek redemption in the eyes of all who would call themselves Mali’thill. As such, they must gain the forgiveness of all who dwell within the pure lands. THE FOUR STAGES FOR PURIFICATION STAGE 1. The Drawing of the Curtain The Mali’ata must be sincere in their desire to become a part of our society once more, and be willing to perform all the tasks asked of them. They must be willing to acknowledge the wrongness of the crimes they have committed against their kin and Haelun’or as a whole. Should they not conform to this ideal, they shall not be allowed to return. STAGE 2. Righteous Revulsion Should the Mali’ata be sincere and willing, they will be allowed to enter Haelun’or. Here, they must seek out every Laurir of The Council of Nobles, Elheial’lauriran, and tell them individually of the crimes they have committed towards Mali’aheral. They will then, after informing each individual of the crimes, ask for forgiveness from each. The Laurir may ask the Mali’ata of anything, and the Mali’ata will do as they ask with great vigour and a calm disposition in a manner befitting any true Mali’aheral. The labours the Mali’ata provided are but a pittance in exchange for the attacks on purity they have performed. As a Laurir, standards of good judgement are expected and a request which calls to question the logic of itself will reflect negatively upon themselves if inadequately explained. Should a Laurir request a task that clashes with the laws of Haelun’or, the individual shall be punished according to the crimes they requested to be committed. The Mali’ata may not advance to the next stage unless every Laurir gives their forgiveness. STAGE 3. Learning the Way All Mali’ata must understand and revere the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, as it is the very phrase that defines our people, our culture, and our civilisation. Those that lack an understanding, or adequate interpretation, of the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya will find themselves shortly more unwelcome than they had been previously. The Mali’ata shall be assigned a teacher from the pure Blessed Citizenry, the duty of whom it will be to teach the Mali’ata maehr’sae hiylun’ehya. During this stage, the teacher may assign to the Mali’ata multiple tasks which they must complete in order to advance to the next stage. At the end of this process, they may be tested by members of The Silver Council of their knowledge regarding the blessed phrase. STAGE 4. Acceptance The Mali’ata, after gaining forgiveness and understanding the apex of our culture, will be called to an assembly of all volunteering First Class Citizens. Here it will be decided by the majority whether the Mali’ata may become a part of the exalted society and resume their title of Mali’thill. Should the Citizenry decide that the actions of the mali’ata are satisfactory, they shall again be considered a Citizen. The mali’ata will regain their title of Mali’thill and they may see Haelun’or as their home once more. With the conclusion of this final step, a celebration should be held - as they have obtained citizenship. CHAPTER IV THE SILVER TRIBUNAL “The Silver Tribunal is both shield and sword, the most important weapon in the Haelunorian armoury versus corruption and crime.” Malaurir Dimaethor Elervathar In the event that a citizen of Haelun’or is accused of violating any of the above laws and is summoned to stand trial by either the Asulir or the Okarir’sil, a group of three judges, pariran’tir, are appointed to operate as a panel of decision makers. These judges, once appointed, shall deliberate upon the accused’s guilt. When a decision is made, punishment as appropriate will be delivered at their discretion. If the judges so desire more evidence, they may call for a testimonial, or a character witness. Members of The Silver Council and the Imperial Family can only be summoned to stand trial by the Asulir. A judge, parir’tir, is chosen based on a hierarchy of respect and authority, namely: a) Okariran b) Lauriran c) First Class Citizen Should the accused not appear at the time they were summoned, they shall be considered guilty and a sentence shall be issued by the pariran’tir in their absence. CHAPTER V THE TIERS OF PUNISHMENT “Haelun’or has proven herself to be efficient in cleansing society from the corrupt minds. Whether that may be through execution or banishment, we drive out plagues by grace of our rigorous loyalty to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya.” Malaurir Iaria Elervathar THE FIRST TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For minor infractions and crimes against order, either by discretion of the Asulir, the Okarir’sil or the Pariran’tir after a concluded trial, the guilty may be punished with: Mandated cultural classes Mandated civil service Fines THE SECOND TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For repeated or severe violation of The Obvious Laws or The Dichotomy of Lewdness, by discretion of the Asulir, the Okarir’sil or the Pariran’tir after a concluded trial, the guilty may be punished with any of the First Tier punishments, in addition to: Stripping of property Annulment of marriage The Path to Purity Corporal Punishment Penal Labour Penal Transportation THE THIRD TIER OF PUNISHMENTS For the most heinous crimes, where there is no reason to believe the guilty may ever reform, only death is fitting.

THE AGE OF SILVER Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in our centuries spanning history. The walls of the Nevaehlen territory have collapsed and all resistance has been quelled. The self-declared leadership of the occupied land thought they could stand against history, against our March of Civilisation. They were wrong. The battle was short but decisive, similar to our previous fabled campaigns. The ever merciful and benevolent Silver State sought not to level the city under our overwhelming fire-power, but simply breach the walls so as to avoid the unnecessary loss of life of the poor destitute Mali’ame forcibly detained within by the arrogance of Nevaehlen leadership. The Silver State honours the valiant heroes of this patriotic war. Without the efforts of our brave Sillumiran, the liberation effort would have been nigh impossible. The Warband of Mog proved themselves integral allies, their ferocity was unmatched by any throughout this symphony of war. The State also pays respects to the role played by Sorcaril Sythaerin, who has honoured his ancient Talonnii through valiant service to his Asulir. Many of the armaments used today were supplied by his kin, for that the Sythaerin’s deserve only the highest praise. May they, like the other Ahtalonnii, continue to lead by example. With the liberation of Silver land from the clutches of tainted influence, both Mali’thill and Mali’ame may rejoice that they now share common cause once more. We stand on the verge of a new Age for our people, a Silver Age. Through our ever diligent efforts to guarantee the security of the Haelunorian realm, the Silver State will be reorganised into the first Silver Empire, to ensure peace and prosperity reigns in perpetuity throughout our Blessed lands. maehr'sae hiylun'ehya
