The war ended suddenly but in a way that was accepted by everyone.
After losing Queen Teslin, the heir of the Duke of Raven, most of their land, and the confidence to continue, the remaining lords in the North had to accept this reality and announced their surrender.
An era has come to an end. Some people sigh with sadness, while countless people cheer and rejoice.
The rose flag that once fluttered across half the continent is no longer there, replaced by the fairywood flag, with a dark green background dotted with small light white flowers. They are tiny and tenacious, making people feel emotional and cry.
The former imperial capital, Titaneia, is once again surrounded by fairies and elves. The streets are lined with flowers and lush leaves, like a city in a forest.
In the central square, members wearing white clothes with green borders stood in formation surrounding the square, all looking at the high platform in the center. In the midst of the green and white garlands were countless people wearing clothes of various colors, looking at the center of the square with a little nervousness and anticipation.
Twelve high-ranking committee members walked onto the platform. They were wearing robes with a pure white base and emerald leaf collars. There was a wreath-like pattern on the back, which was simple and solemn.
Today, the platform has a circular arch decorated with flowers. There are orange-red and golden marigolds, deep purple and quiet violets, light white blooming daisies, ink-black roses, and light green and dewy lilies. These flowers are clustered together to form the shape of an arch.
"Since the fall of the Mercury Dynasty and the beginning of the Third Age, this continent has experienced many things: the rise of hundreds of nations, the calamity of Chaos, the reconstruction after the war, the rise of Cang Cui and Xi Feng, and the great war between the two factions. Until today, everything has finally come to peace again."
"The glory, prosperity, and splendor of the past have all vanished. We cherish the shining names and unforgettable deeds of the past, but we should also recognize the darkness, injustice, distortion, and ignorance that were once unnoticed."
“The world is advancing at a slow but unstoppable pace. Although there was once a beautiful scenery behind us, we can no longer stop. We must always face the unknown and challenges ahead.”
"From this point on, we will establish a new country, a new order, a new future, and everything."
"The stars are like flowers, brilliant and eternal. From now on, we will no longer have titles such as emperor, duke, noble, etc. All titles that symbolize inequality will be abolished."
"We long for a world where we work together and unite as one, a country and a home where we can feel warm and at home."
"We dream of a land where humans, elves, orcs, and even all races, hold hands, sing and cheer together."
"We hope for a fair and open future that takes into account the needs of all, where all members are equally respected, free to choose their own lives, free from judgment and criticism, and able to fully enjoy and develop themselves."
"This future is pursued not only by us but by every intelligent being on this continent and in this world. We join hands, full of ambition and anticipation, to welcome its arrival."
"We, the united nation of Flower and Verdant Star, referred to as the 'Star Alliance', are officially established today."
"The state will be established with the Twelve Articles as its highest purpose. All order, codes, and rules will be based on, expanded upon, and improved upon these twelve articles. This Charter, in the form of a legal code, confirms the achievements of the struggles of all ethnic groups and has supreme force. All organizations, members, factions, groups, and even individuals have the obligation and responsibility to uphold the sanctity of the Charter and prevent it from being distorted or defiled."
"The flag and emblem will be a entwined wreath with twelve blooming flowers, symbolizing the will and ideals of the Twelve Charters. The stars dotted within the wreath symbolize our eternal gaze towards the starry sky above, our unwavering commitment to exploring and advancing in this vast world."
"Now, let us proclaim these twelve articles, which represent everything, each of which is represented by a flower."
Afterwards, each of the twelve senior committee members held an open scroll and announced the charter written on it.
"First, the Fairywood Chapter: The Star Alliance is a nation established to be free from oppression, fair, and open-minded. All systems will be built around it."
"Second, the Emerald Rose Chapter: All power in the country comes from..."
"Third, the Violet Chapter..."
"Fourth, the Blood Rose Chapter..."
"Fifth, the chapter of marigolds..."
…
Every time one of those inspiring charters was announced, a huge square stone tablet with vivid words engraved on it rose on one side of the square, and at this time a cheer rang out from below, the sound shaking the sky, like a boiling ocean.
Finally, these twelve stone tablets stand motionless around the square like the scales of a clock.
When all was over, the twelve commissioners turned around and faced the wreath arch in the middle together. Then a colorful halo appeared in the wreath arch, and a golden holy grail slowly emerged. It was the twin holy grails that appeared when the country was founded.
As representatives of the entire organization and even the entire people, the twelve committee members stretched out their right arms, a trickle of blood flowed, and then floated into the quietly suspended holy grail, filling it half full.
The blood oath is still recognized by countless people and has sacred meaning.
Fairies appeared in the air one by one, holding hands and singing together. Then the holy grail symbolizing the blood of oath slowly floated up and rose into the air.
At some point, sixteen witches dressed in black robes and veils slowly descended from the sky. They surrounded the Holy Grail and offered their blessings to this newborn nation, wishing it to be guided by wisdom, blessed by the starlight, not be confused by illusions, to remain young, to be as solid as white stone, to be evergreen, to have a sharp sword, to be like a ship sailing in the night, and so on...
Finally, three white wrists jointly grasped the golden holy grail, like three flying stars, holding it up and continuously soaring up to the distant sky.
A flash of light passed by, and then a brilliant halo bloomed in the sky, and then carried countless voices and wills, spreading in all directions, announcing the establishment of this new country.
Even more enthusiastic voices rang out across this land, from the snow-capped mountains of the Mountains of Sighs to the distant coastal docks of the East, from the cold and frozen permafrost of the coniferous forests to the reefs in the south where the warm sea breeze blows, from the prosperous and bustling cities to the remote and quiet mountain villages, from the forest crowns where elves live to the small towns opened up by humans in the desert oasis. Countless people witnessed this scene and felt the grand will brought by the halo.
What we have been waiting for, what everyone hopes for, a brand new country is being established today.
