AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic

A letter is sent from the hospital to the places where the shrines wounded lay, Kampos and the ruins of the Shrine. The messenger instructed to post it where it can be seen by all there. The Handwriting would be Earalkachas familiar cursive script though the some observed it looked as if the writer had been writing with weakened hands. The letter was written in Undercommon and clearly from and for a drow perspective

Dear friends, family and acquaintances as many may know the Shrine of Eilistraee suffered a terrible attack from She-kats burrowing through what we had once thought was unassailable bedrock. We have lost what can not be returned to us and the damage done to our families far outstrips that which was done to our home.

Yet it is in the face of this that we as a people as a family must stand resolute. This hardship tests our faith and pushes us to the brink and you my people will endure. I have faith in you, trust you and know that we will bring a vengeful wrath upon our foes so terrible the abyss shall tremble in our wake and when the last of our enemies lays in a pyre as a sacrifice unto Eilistraee we shall rejoyace and dance as their corpses return to the soil as ash!

We have seen the abyss, walked through days of pain and suffering in our memories what to most would be nightmeres beyond reckoning. This attack no matter how painful and terrible as it may be will be answered with justice and we will survive, nay we will thrive for among all the people of Faerun we have walked the darkest paths and battled our way into the light, our strength is adamant and our hearts burn with passion even the abyss could not contain. We are Eilistraee's children and our foe knows not the fury it has awakened!

The next section was written in common clearly intended for all to see

I would also like to publicly and personally apologize first to Triel' words that I shall not repeat (least I incite further slander or distrust of a trusted member of our shrine) that were hurtful to her and her reputation. Words that should have remained an internal matter not a public one. I stand in sincerest apologies for the thoughtlessness of my words to Triel' and while I ask for forgiveness for my slight I do not expect to be given. Though if personal amends are sought I shall do my best to accommodate such.

I would also like to apologize to all gathered at the Shrine for our meeting, my anger was neither justified nor righteous it was simply angry and nothing more. I place no blame upon anyone save for squarely upon my own shoulders. Every thing that has occcured in the last few weeks, my anger, paranoia, self-inflicted stress and the attempt to channel a direct divine intervention knowing full well it could have killed me due to my condition, all were my actions taken and chosen by me. All are burdens I carry and take responsibility for. To all wounded, worried, and offended I can only offer you my deepest apologies.

-Erelkacha Kenlyl

A notice is soon posted in Bendir dale and the Holy City, as well as at Kampos.

Let it be known to all allies of the Shrine that Darklady Aly'dra has been removed from the Shrines Holy Council pending the results of a hearing regarding internal affairs at the Shrine. Any matters relating to the Shrine should be sent to mineself, Maral Zau'ana, Jud'vardas Kenlyl, Sabune or Phyr'tana. -Erelkacha Kenlyl.

A letter is sent to Winya and the Holy City to be posted.
Dear allies in the Treaty of Light it has as of recently came to our attention that the Shrines council is not widely known among our allies. As such I would like to publicly clarify and inform our allies and friends alike of the people in our Shrine who are in good standing with our ruling body, vote on our council and are considered equals in rank.

(the names are presented in alphabetical order in common with no preference due to order)
Erelkacha
Jud'vardas
Maral
Phyr'tana
Sabune

Any new inductions or removals to the Shrines council will be made note of in future proclamations. -Your friend Erelkacha Kenlyl

Posted at Kampos and sent to the grove and members of the treaty is a notice bearing the seal of the Shrine.

Dear friends allies and fellow adventurers I would like to take this opportunity to apologize on the verbal diarrhea being spread by one Aly'dra. I will take this time to clearly state that she is being hysterical, overreacting and jumping to conclusions regarding the matter of her misconduct hearing. I ask kindly that you pay her and her entirely off base and incorrect assumptions and accusations no heed. As Aly'dra has no desire to speak to me in person I shall kindly implore that should she read this she come before her peers and learn what is going on rather then jump to inaccurate conclusions. I will also implore her to do so because if she does not the council has decided to hold a trial even in her absence and it would be in her best interest to defend herself or at least learn what is actually going on. However if she wish's to fly off the handle and assume things she is kindly welcome to overreact like a hysterical emotionally deranged and entirely unbalanced person. -Erelkacha Kenlyl

*A note is left under the one in Kampo's*

Isn't there actual criminals and murderers to trial? Or is it just for personal disputes, this trial-system?

*The note isn't signed, but the black-glad drow leaving it made no effort to hide himself.*

::

The notices of both Erel'kacha and Aly'dra on the subject of this matter, as well as all those in response, are simply taken down.

A notice is left at Kampos and Sent to the Grove, Dale, Winya and Kohl for whom ever wishes to read it

In light of the recent strife caused at the Shrine of Eilistraee I hear by denounce Maral Zau'ana and Aly'dra as betrayers and traitors who two months ago leveled an unwarranted attempt to remove myself and Sabune from the Shrine of Eilistraee and continued a campaign of lies, treason and political skullduggery after they were democratically voted down. Their continuing hostility and desire to force me and Sabune to leave a home we have invested our lives into for the better part of a decade has come to a head and both myself and Sabune can no longer stand to endure the attacks leveled at us by people we once felt were our sisters in faith.

By the time you read this I and Sabune will have left this island, very likely never to return. I leave you good folk of Amia with one last dire warning, do not trust Aly'dra or Maral, their ways are subtle, hungry for power and wicked. They have been victorious in driving myself and Sabune to the brink and leaving us no option but to abandon our home.

Good bye to the people i have helped, lands I have protected and friends I have made, as it stands I and my beloved Sabune have no intention to ever return. -Erelkacha Kenlyl

A blue-and-silver clad drowess giggles as she reads the note, and shakes her head. If she has anything to say, she doesn't say it.

She simply removes the notices wherever she sees them. "For the unity we're all trying to promote now!", she says if she's asked.

A middle aged hin looks saddened by the note in the Dale as she reads it, then reads it again carefully.

After reading the second such letter in as many hours Maral sat down with her own writing set. When she was done she pinned a copy to the Shrine’s notice board and sent a messenger with copies to the cities of the Treaty of Light as well as the Grove.

It has never been my intent to claim I did nothing wrong; though it may appear that way due to my inability to keep quiet when false accusations are made about me. It feels to me as though I do this as a matter of trust, as in other’s ability to trust in me, but I admit it may be the short-coming of pride. For that I apologize.

I held myself apart from people that made me uncomfortable, giving them no chance to know me or my heart, and then grew frustrated and angry because they believed what they were told by someone they knew better. For that I apologize.

I allowed weeks, months of verbal abuse and threats of violence to the people I love to overwhelm my emotions, and I screamed when I should have stood in kindness. For that I apologize.

While I have no idea how I could have prevented it, I allowed a conflict to carry on to the point that it destabalized our relationship with our allies, and drove many of my own family to the brink of losing their faith. Still, for that I apologize.

Creating a laundry list of how another broke our Goddess’ dogma, or betrayed her own people will only continue a conflict that I pray with all of my soul is done.

Those that know me, and had any contact with me during this conflict know what I did, and what I did not do. I will not address this matter again. My family’s record of providing aid where it is needed on this island and to our allies stands for itself, as will our future actions.

In the Maiden’s Service,
~ Maral

Earalenia looks at the notice and reads it through, then after a while of simply looking at it she lets out a sigh and bites her bottom lip before she tears the notice down, and does this to the notices she find. (Mainly the ones in Kampo's and the Grove, as these are the ones she has access to.

Finding the one in Kohlingen, Brizthara reads it quietly and quirks both her eyebrows in surprise.

Well...

She leaves the comment unfinished, finding herself at a loss of words.

*The Great Druid of the Grove seems to give no official comment... yet. Though those who see her read the notes can tell she ain't happy.*

Somewhere, a gold-haired sun elf laughs.

Noticing these strange statements by someone named Maral in other cities, the middle aged hin takes down the original letter from Erelkacha in the Dale with the utmost care. She is at least thankful she never saw this statement from Maral in the Dale.

An offical looking Notice is sent.
