A letter written by Kalithil SIlverthorn to the Great House Council, read into the record by Matriarch Kajeda Silverthorn.
To the Matriarchs of the Great House Council,
I write to you today in the spirit of forgiveness and restitution. During the events that preceded the Demontide, a great injustice was done to a man and his followers whose only sin was being utterly dedicated to the defense of Saaret.
I speak, of course, of Læroth and his Dagniri. I recognize the horror felt by the rest of us at their willingness to take the power of demonkind into themselves, corrupting them for the remainder of their lives. I recognize also the danger involved, the idea that the demon within them could gain control, but I do not believe these elves should be imprisoned for all time for the mere potential of what they might do. Their sacrifice is horrible, but also inspiring, for they were willing to give up everything to protect their homes.
I would also like to point out that before the Demontide, Læroth and his Dagniri had scored a number of impressive victories against the Demonhost. It is my belief that had fear among our people not carried the day, the Demonhost could have been defeated and the Demontide averted entirely.
Therefore, for justice, and for our own protection should the Demonhost return, I request that the banishment and incarceration of the Dagniri be revoked, and these elenanorë be allowed to go free and resume their lives as best as they are able.
Many Thanks,
The House of Silverthorn
Archivists Note: At the time this letter was read to the House Council, Kalithil Silverthorn was not openly operating under his own name. It is possible that Kajeda Silverthorn read this letter as if she herself had penned it. There is no record of this issue ever being brought to a vote, and of course the Dagniri were not released for many millennia. It is also possible that taking this stance in Council may have contributed to the age-old bad blood between the Houses of Silverthorn and Eventide. This letter marks the only known example of Kalithil attempting to directly influence Great House politics.
