To my fellow citizens of the Dominion of Malin,
In all likelihood, you do not know me. My name is Laethis II Elverhilin of the Ihelia Seed, and I am a resident of Norseth'onn concerned by the recent proclamation. I know not of the circumstances leading to the Dominion's status as a Protectorate beneath the Holy Orenian Empire, only of the dissatisfaction of the mali I have managed to speak to on the matter.
I am neither old nor wise, yet one need not be to understand the folly of this choice. Too many times have elves become the puppet of man, and too many times has it earned us little more than hardship and strife. War brews throughout the realm, and it is my belief that we must stand apart from those who seek to domineer over us. We are elves, and we must not find ourselves beholden to men.
If there are any other like-minded elves of the Dominion reading this, I encourage you to join me. I wait in the public tavern of Norseth'onn, the city which I call home.
And to those who would oppose me, know that I remain here unarmed, and seeking no quarrel, only to gather with my elven brethren to express our discontent.
May Malin guide us,
Laethis II Elverhilin of the Ihelia Seed
