Quill Chronicle & Tavern

[Dandeli]

Ladies and Gentlemen; I, Melionette, have been given a bountiful feast of debauchery to indulge in.
However, a disclaimer, and forewarning; Melionette Meanderwalk does not agree with, nor does she condone, any of the blasphemously insane sentiments conveyed within this piece.

 

Furthermore, Melionette extends the 'Right of Reply' right to anyone who reads this paper and sees their name enclosed.

Please send in your scathing (or polite) replies.

Not all facts are confirmed in stone: use your own common sense and discretion.

 

Now, with the stage set. .

I present to you the first opinion: "My darkest evilest opinion is that the quill and tavern should be IMMEDIATELY shut down with haste..."
 
I, Melionette, exercising my right of reply, say: "No. Make me."
 

CHAPTER I: THE YOUTH

Dark opinions have first flooded in with ties to the next generation; these kind souls below find themselves mulling over the youth's future and current prospects. A forewarning and lesson for the future, next to a critique of the present.

 
"We have only felt the ripples of the great wave of death. Worse will come, in greater numbers, and soon. An entire generation will have to embrace a position on the edge of oblivion, and accept that they could fall at any time. Their minds will become hard, cold and granite-dark.
 

The only future for the youth, the ones we want to protect most, is one in which they build something kinder over the ashes."

 

"Children are slaughtered and killed without hesitation but people whom idle within their city have heroes saving them."

 
 CHAPTER II: GLOOMLIGHT

Gloomlight, or, it's people, aptly dubbed 'Gloomlightians', also seem to have a buffet of theories levied against them.

 
"I believe that there are witches in Gloomlight that are protected by the Oracle. How else do they create faceless and make soldiers?"
 

"I think Gloomlight is amassing demons of "Agarthan" nature to secretly police Dalthala. It would explain the lack of presence the old king has."

 

"Ysayl dul Vique is a hypocrite and an aspiring tyrant. She decides who lives and dies based on her personal whims and who she thinks is important enough to her to be worth protecting. She withholds information of her executions from the public and keeps the wealth of those slain in Aphrosian coffers. Rumor has it she keeps the preserved corpse of a Magic Beast for some nefarious ritual..."

 CHAPTER III: ???

I'm not even going to summarize the next point; it speaks for itself.

 

"I think people should start treating Mystical Beasts like the wild animals they are. We should be cultivating them, helping them grow, than butchering them like we would a chicken or a cow! I mean the cores are pretty useful, but some of them are potentially edible. Surely they're edible, right? Right? I'm not the ONLY one who wants to try eating them am I!? Ents could be a vegetarian dish, owldrakes are just overgrown birds, I bet the metal tin-man I've seen walking around has some meat beneath all that... And the stone golem-like one? Perfect for creating mystical salt! This is a perfectly sane thought process. Right!? Right!?"

 

CHAPTER IV: Individualised, Personalized, Customized Assaults

Individuals have theories, assertions, and other proclamations levied against them; it would be a lie to say a large majority of these all didn’t come from the same bundle of letters - three of them, after transcription, died to my meddling and crumpled into my hands.

 

I spread their ashes over my small potted succulent to nourish it.

 
"I think Tal'guth is still a demon. I heard from someone that he told the late Lucky Luciano to study Necromancy to fix his little problem."

"Aegis and the Caewynn.. Dawnseeker family are a cult of witch harboring xenophobes. With Sabathiel's death, Leonard has taken up his late father's goals of radical racial superiority to subjugate the 'lesser races' of Meranthe."

"A certain king isn't as innocent as he wants his people to believe. His power is built on a foundation of blood, gold, and tortured children."

"Azalea Aubreen, kind and peace-loving. If she is truly the re-embodiment of Aschea, then why has she allowed Aschea's ancient enemy, the Moonfall Coven, to fester on Meranthian soil?"

"Nyflheim is a ghost town. Ever since the death of Ilathia, the settlement is only held together by a skeleton crew of non-magi. Why does such a place continue to stand, despite having known ties to Prospera's old-guard?"

"Aegis once destroyed the island of the Fel Gardens with a massive bomb. If they are capable of such destruction, why have they allowed the Atrellyan menace to linger unopposed?"

"The surviving remnants of Skarnfel have done more good for Meranthe as a whole than any of the myriad rulers of the kingdoms ever will."

"Bartholomew Wilkersson did nothing wrong." 

“Katrina Astalet should be granted eternal life, only so that she can experience eternal suffering.”
