Official Declaration of the End of the Windscarred Rebellion

Subject: Official End of the Windscarred Rebellion and the Restoration of Order
I. Preamble

It is with solemn recognition and finality that we, the governing bodies of the Sylfaris Dominion and representatives of the sovereign lands of Comhlaidir, declare the formal cessation of hostilities between the forces of the Windscarred Rebellion and the forces of the Sylfaris Dominion.

The conflict, known as the Windscarred Rebellion, which commenced with the first skirmishes of Year 1 and endured through five grueling years of war, has been concluded. The resolution of this conflict comes after an extensive period of unparalleled struggle, sacrifice, and loss on both sides. With the death of Liera of the Broken Tithe, the fall of the rebellion’s central command, and the collapse of the Windscarred resistance in the final stand of the Windborne Rangers, it is with great responsibility that we acknowledge the end of the hostilities.

We, as a collective, recognize the bravery and resilience exhibited by all those involved in this protracted struggle, and honor the sacrifices made, regardless of faction. The reconciliation of the realm begins with the acknowledgment that this conflict is now closed, and that the future of Comhlaidir must be one of healing and reconstruction.
II. Acknowledgement of the Key Events
The Windscarred Rebellion saw a series of significant engagements that shaped the political landscape and left deep scars in the physical and social fabric of the realm. The following events are hereby recognized for their importance in the conflict’s resolution:

1. The Skirmish of the Broken Winds: The initial clash that set the tone for the rebellion, where the Windborne Rangers made their first mark on the Sylfaris legions.
2. The Battle of Vindra’s Gap: The first decisive victory for the Windscarred forces, where Liera’s leadership secured a strategic victory, proving the viability of unconventional warfare against Sylfaris might.
3. The Siege of Greenstone Keep: A turning point in the rebellion, where the forces of the Windscarred captured a critical Sylfaris stronghold, symbolizing the potential of the rebellion to strike at the heart of Sylfaris power.
4. The Battle of Ravik’s Vortex: A cataclysmic confrontation that sealed the fate of both the rebellion and the Sylfaris forces, resulting in the death of Liera, the destruction of the Vortex, and the collapse of organized resistance.
5. The Last Stand of the Windborne Rangers: The final act of defiance, where the remaining rebel forces made their last stand against the overwhelming Sylfaris forces, marking the end of the organized Windscarred Rebellion.

III. Acknowledgement of the Death of Liera of the Broken Tithe
It is with great respect that we acknowledge the death of Liera of the Broken Tithe, the leader and symbol of the rebellion. Her passing in the aftermath of the Battle of Ravik’s Vortex marked the final chapter of a conflict that had, for a time, shaken the very foundations of the Sylfaris Dominion. Though the methods of the Windscarred were born from desperation and often from tragedy, we cannot ignore the fact that Liera led her people with fierce resolve and an unwavering belief in their right to freedom. Her legacy will forever be etched in the annals of history, whether one views it as an inspiration or as a warning.
IV. Restoration of Order and Reconciliation
In the aftermath of the rebellion, we call upon all citizens of Comhlaidir, both in the lands of the Sylfaris Dominion and the remnants of the Windscarred, to begin the process of healing and reconstruction. We recognize the importance of unifying the realm under the principle of reconciliation. The violence of the rebellion has taken its toll, and it is time to restore peace to the land.

1. Rebuilding Communities: The lands affected by the conflict will receive the first focus in efforts to rebuild destroyed villages, damaged infrastructure, and agriculture. Special councils will be established to ensure that reparations are made to the victims of the rebellion, including the displaced Windscarred.
2. Healing of the People: We will support initiatives to help communities process the emotional and psychological scars of war. This includes grief counseling, community support programs, and efforts to heal the divisions that have torn apart families and regions.
3. Territorial Reallocation: The areas under the control of the Windscarred during the conflict shall be integrated back into the fold of the Sylfaris Dominion, but with recognition of local governance rights. Towns and villages in these areas shall have the opportunity to elect representatives who will work alongside the Sylfaris governors in shared leadership.
4. Rights for Former Rebels: Former rebels who lay down their arms and submit to the laws of the land shall be granted amnesty, provided they abide by the agreements of peace and demonstrate their willingness to integrate back into society.

V. A Message to the Sylfaris People and the Windscarred Remnants
To the Sylfaris people: You have shown tremendous resilience and commitment throughout this war. This victory marks a moment of peace, but also a time for reflection. While we stand victorious, we must learn from the loss and consider the cost of unchecked oppression and the fragility of peace.

To the Windscarred remnants: Know that your fight has ended, but the spirit of your struggle shall not be forgotten. The future of Comhlaidir does not rest in conflict. It lies in unity, understanding, and reconciliation. The path forward is one of cooperation, not continued division.
VI. Closing
