*The notices are written in a flowing Elven script, with each I dotted with a tiny heart. And great care is taken with each notice. They are placed in most taverns around the land*
To all that have Elven blood in Cormyr.
Long have I been in these lands, and have seen how things have changed. Many things come to pass, be it slow or fast. But, in my time. I have never felt troubled with how those of Elven blood scorn those for being different, until now. I have heard the words of some of our sisters and brothers. Some words are harsh and some are simply troubling in themselves. I speak out for our kin, I do not stand idly by and watch The People fade away once again, hiding in shadows, being loathed and spoken of, only in whispers. For those that need to understand, the Father of Elves, Corellon speaks of what Elves should do. To further ourselves and bring new experiences to our kin. Without these words, our kin will fade away and become nothing but legend. I am attaching these words here, for those that do not fully know what they are. I have underlined the key of this phrase, to show how some Elves are treating our kin, because they are different. To not heed these words is a simple insult to the Seldarine and to the Father himself, and to The way of the People.
We are sculptors and wardens of magic's endless mysteries. Bring forth the beauty that envelops and let the spirit gambol unfettered.
Seek out new experiences and new ways. Ward against those that would destroy what they cannot create. Commune with the natural and mystical world.
Be ever vigilant against the return of the banished darkness, and be strong in heart against the corruption of the Spider Queen.
I was once a Warden, a Warden of the forest. I stood guard over those that required it, I stood vigil in the woods and pushed back the darkness that threatened our kin. But in my time as a Warden, I never forgot I was an Elf, one of many. Brothers and sisters who should protect one another from those that would harm us. But things have changed, I have lost hope in believing that the Wardens are who they once were, they are no longer the beacon of hope that I remember them to be. Lead with false leadership, that was voted in by a false vote. The laws are simple, one vote for each Warden. Yet, one voted that was not done by a Warden. To see the work of others fade, the old ways lost saddens me greatly. The old alliances made, are fading, none speak the name of a Warden with pride now. Instead, many speak it with loathing. I ask you all brothers and sisters, to look at what has become of the Wardens. What has started to become of our Kin.
The Wardens were made to protect kin, not turn them away. They were the sword against the darkness, the vanguard against the Dhaerow. And now they are turning away our kin, from a place where they can be with other kin. To this end, as High Priestess of Hanali Celanil in this region, I hereby request all current Wardens, heed the words of the Father. If, anymore animosity towards kin that seek new ways is seen or heard. I will personally send correspondences to the relevant nobles to request that the current structure of the Wardens be dissolved and re-established to further the good of the People and our ways.
