The current situation with the Principality of New Celest

Addressed to: Everyone


Greetings. My name is Rilandria, and I am a Lucidian from the
Principality of New Celest. I am sure that some of you have heard of me
but for those that haven't you know of me now.

First of all, I would like to start by saying that I have personally
made it a goal of mine to see to it that Erion is punished greatly for
what he has done to the world, and for what he has done to our once Pure
Celest. What he did was not 'needless'. What he did was not 'horrible'.
What he did was spit in the face of the Light and all that is innocent
and good in the world, and it cannot be forgiven. If he is not shamed
for the rest of his existence for what he has done, then his dishonor
will run deeply in his family for all of eternity and possibly, in New
Celest as well.

In his foolishness, Erion decided to take the words of a Holy Supernal
and twist them around, with other knowledge he had, to the point where
he believed that the flesh of the Fae was what Celest needed to save a
Holy Supernal. In short he didn't bother to listen closely to the Holy
Supernals in his rush to get things done. A fatal mistake one that shows
his weakness for leadership, and thus many of Celest refuse to follow
him even as I speak now.

Celestians followed him and in their hearts they knew he was wrong. But
how could they question him? Not to mention Erion was constantly
silencing them, and telling them not to question. It had to be done, and
there had to be ultimate cooperation. But they believed his information
was from a Holy Supernal and although it seemed wrong to them, the
situation was dire and in need of immediate action. Unfortunately, Erion
was the source of this immediate action, and the following massacre
occurred.

If anyone should atone, it is Erion. If anyone is to blame, it is Erion.
To me, all that he can do now is pray that he does not shame his Guild,
his City, and his family any longer

Our leaders did not make wise decisions that day. Prince Rhysus trusted
in Erion, and for that I was angered beyond reason, for if there was
anyone who could have stopped Erion it was him. However, Prince Rhysus
knew that their time was short, and they needed to act quickly. So, also
believing that he was listening to the word of the Holy Supernals and
not of Erion, he allowed it to occur.

Erion has been removed from his position, and is being punished at this
very moment. However, in the future, I wish to find a way to permanently
display to Celest the disgrace he has brought, so we may never forget
what has happened.

I don't expect those of the Serenwilde to forgive us. I don't even know
how Celest could begin to work for the forgiveness. So do what you will,
but know that the actions of only a few Celestians ruined much of what
the Just and Pure population of New Celest were attempting to achieve.

As far as Magnagora goes every word any of you say drips with hypocrisy.
I am amused do you believe the Dwarves and the Delportians to be stupid?
Unwise? You Magnagorans slaughter Dwarves on a daily basis, and you
expect them to rally under your flag? Southgard especially is drenched
in the blood of Celestians defending it and all of its people within,
including my own. Our blood flows in the mines, now, our blood is in
every scrap of metal that comes from the mines there. And now, Rockholm
is shaping up to be the same.

Simply because Magnagora has the ability to slaughter endlessly does not
mean it is the greatest beneficiary in the world. Many Magnagorans only
kill for the pleasure of it kill on a whim and how can you trust any
person who would attempt to kill the Holy Supernals themselves? Even
sweet Raziela such a loving creature, such a beautiful creature, and
Magnagora did not even pause to slice Her body into pieces. The
Magnagorans do not know peace, and thus, how could they bring it to
anyone in the world?

They delight in the torturing of Dwarven souls. I literally laughed when
I read the comment previously made by a Magnagoran attempting to barter
with the villages of Southgard and Rockholm Oh yes, I am Magnagoran and
I hold your life in the palm of my hand now, if you just give up that
life and pledge it to me indefinitely, then it shall be spared. If not,
it will be squished by our ultimate and unending greatness that is so
glorious and awe inspiring' Do you honestly think the Dwarves to be so
foolish? So cowardly? They are not. Southgard and Rockholm, you will
stand against any who oppose you you are proud, and you are strong, and
no one holds you under the palm of their hands. New Celest protects you,
and spills it's blood for you standing by your side while Magnagora
laughs and slays your children, then proceeds to slay us. I know you do
not want to be a part of something... so vile... so disgusting... as
that.

Any comments regarding Celest's willingness to slay Dwarves or
Delportians in order to feed a Demon is utter stupidity. As my previous
comments show, the actions were mostly of one Celestian, and by no means
would Celest ever condone the killing of Dwarves or Delportians. Never
again will this happen under my watch... never again will Celest kill an
innocent creature because of the actions of one false leader. I will
personally hunt down whoever does so, and bring to them Justice by the
hand of the Glorious Light... because even a Celestian citizen can harm
the Light, as proven by Emperor Ladantine so long ago. No one will be
exempt from this Justice, Celestian or not. The Light rewards any that
are Good and Just, and punishes any who corrupt and harm the good of
another.

Be it known that the Light protects the Dwarves and the Delportians, and
is simply waiting for the right time to spread its Benevolence where it
may Shine it's protection upon all that reside within the Basin. Those
who wish to harm the Light will not be spared.

May the Light bring Truth to you all.
Lady Rilandria, Protector of Celest, Protector of the Innocent
