[IC] A Princess' Admissions

*Several copies of this letter have been placed around the major capitals and embassies. It's importance is clear and has a message the writer wished to show.*

Dwarves of Ironforge,

I've stood by on the advice of many for far too long. This fighting and hatred you feel towards my nation, and even some of my people who feel it towards you must be brought to an end. So allow me, to make the first offering of the olive branch. When I ascended the throne before the Orcish incident I would like to explain my defiance of your wishes. I was only recently Sixteen, not even close to any level of true maturity. I had just 'lost' my mother, I lay in her blood and held what I thought was the last thing she ever wore. I was then bombarded by advisors telling me to do this and that.. Out of no where the horde began their invasion.

Citizens, nobles, senators.. I suffered from a severe depressive state. My physcians advised me to relinquish my role to a regent to allow me to mourn. Something our laws now enforce. I refused, attempting to make my mother proud. Alone I made every decision I thought would save lives. Call it a pact if you wish, in the terminology of war, it was a ceasefire. I wished to evacuate all the innocents I could. I understand you see this as a grand betrayal, but I would rather have faced your wrath than have my people's blood on my hands. That was so long ago and has escalated to this nonsence. So now I beseech you. Forgive the mistake of a young girl who truly believed herself alone in this world. Ancestors know I punish myself enough inside, I feel that your punishment has been served in the form of punishing my people.

This is the olive branch,
Please help bring together our two nations again.

To make myself plain; I apologise for my transgresions against the Kingdom of Ironforge, sincerely and truthfully.

By the consented hand of Her Royal Highness,
Crown-Rhan'ia Anaei Tyra Trollbane of the Kingdom of Arathor

Ancestors bless you all..

*Elizabeth looks at the copy, before shaking her head and starting to walk away*

''Th-That was quite br-brave of her...''

*Barely making a few steps away, a few tears hit the stone beneath her feet, affected by the deep emotion in the letter.*

((That made me sadface irl :< ))

*Trave looks at the letter, he rips it off the wall and inspects it closer. His lips shape into an approving smile.*

"That lass got balls bigger then Varian. Sixteen? By Uther's beard she's been through way too much, and the dwarves whine at her?"

*Trave shakes his head and folds the letter putting it in his pocket before walking back to Sophyra's home.*

"Reckon I should pay the princess a visit.."


OOC:
You people age far too fast. :DD Cute letter!

Your Highness,

You and your mother have led the nation along a misguided path in the past, and although it is heart-warming to see this appology we remain highly sceptical. First of all, you do not wear the Crown, and the letter does not bear the signature of your mother the Queen. As such, every recipient will regard this letter as a private appology, rather than an appology on behalf of Arathor and will therefore feel in no way oblidged to repay in kind and actually forgive your nation.

Secondly, your letter made no clear commitments to the change in policy and conduct from the side of the Kingdom of Arathor, which makes this appology again purely diplomatic rather than practical.

Although the Chapter does not hold any grudges against the Kingdom of Arathor, and has offered to your mother the Queen to reconcile, we send this letter as an advice from the Tyrrean Order, which treads in the footsteps of Anethion, may his name be forever exalted.

-Seek confirmation and seal of your mother the Queen if you wish to give this appology any officially-recognizable, regal status.
-Make clear commitments towards change.

May the Light guide and preserve you, and forge for your dynasty an enduring crown,

On behalf of:
Abbot Waldemar,
Supreme Lector of the Chapter

Sister Ioanna,
Archlectress of the Chapter.

Chapterians,

My mother has done no wrong but defending the honour of her Kingdom, and i'd appriciate very much so if you neglected from commenting on her rule. This was my public apology, to the DWarves of Ironforge for the actions taken during the Orcish-Hammerfall conflict as it escalted so much. As the Heir-Apparent of the Kingdom of Arathor and still acting Secretary to the Shar I have every right to publish any official apologies I wish. However this is not one, this is a personal apology from myself; Anaei Trollbane to the Dwarves. I wished it to be known to the public that I was changing my ways, so it could be at least seen that I am attempting to make changes.

Thank you for your concern,
Anaei Trollbane

Politics.....

*Cid reads the letter on the notice board, then takes it down and walks off to show the Senate*

Might be useful...

*Looks at the poster*

Uther bless that lass, may her time of regin come soon, and peace be with it. Too long have this nonsense accusement towards all.

*Ray reads the poster and shows a sad face for a blink of an eye and then he gets his usual tough look on and walks away*

Che'.... Like i'd care....

*Ath runs after all those damned fools who keep stealing that poster! He's been trying to get a look at that thing, but he's been out of luck.*

OOC:

What is this! A princess is lowering herself and trying to reason with a bunch of drunken half-wits? Psht, all this "diplomacy" garbage is wasted on them! :p Haha but no, seriously I enjoyed reading the "letter". It gave us a lot of insight of how a saintly priestess would respond to the situation, for sure. Well done!

TYRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! *hug*
