Hail my good friend Baladas,
- I would like your opinion on my plans for the psychological developement of our people, the Telvanni. Historically, we have been isolated and independent warrior-wizard holds held together by a less than influential council that cares little for politics. However, that has changed since my rise to power. The younger and more ambitious generation of Telvanni is a sign of changes to come. However, I need some way to rally the older and more powerful, though uninterested generation, into embracing change and war. Obviously, it seems war could break out at any point should a spark be set off. If we are in a war, or even neutral, we will be crushed as our individual holds cannot defend against armies. Therefore I plan to first recruit more warriors among the Telvanni. Secondly I would like to have Daedra worship to be 'allowed' in our society- a very unreligious but tolerant people; and I would also like to have betmer slaves freed on the condition that they assimilate into the army or join the Betmeri League. With the increase of soldiery, I hope to instill a greater sense of unity and militaristic pride in our people. Such an emotion has not been present in our society for several hundred years, except briefly in the Ashlander-Telvanni War at Vos which a Telvanni coalition I led succesfully defended Vos and brokered a peace-treaty and later an alliance. Daedra worship in moderation will place us closer to the ashlanders, betmer, and cults we are attempting to ally and hold together as they all have large populations of Daedra-worshippers. Our greatest aid should a war come would be from the betmer. They are the most versatile force we are allied with. They have warriors adept in ambush, guerilla warfare, and frontline war. The ashlanders and Cults seem better suited for more specialized roles. Therefore I hope to increase their disposition towards our culture by releasing betmer slaves and encouraging them to join the League of Betmeri.
Now, the hardest part would be changing the culture of the Telvanni. Within ourselves, we are a survival of the fittest society. However in the face of the rest of Morrowind, we are often-times unaggressive isolationists. I hope, by giving the more aggressive younger generation more power, the culture can gradually shift to a more militaristic and dynamic society. I have also begun sowing in people a sense of unity by having the commoners petition to their local Master-wizard for action such as defenses, garrison of troops, etc. As of now, it appears to be working, and with your support, as well as the young Uvirith's support, and Divayth Fyr my master's reassurance, I am confident in my abilities to transform the society into a more unified and aggressive Great House. What do you think of my plan, Demnavanni my friend?
