Reimian Empire

Bedivere

In a beautifully furnished room of a lovely Camellian house (do they even have other types of houses?), a Camellian man and woman were present. It was late, so the house was dimly lit – except for a few candles and a fireplace, there was no other lighting. The Camellian man, who looked slightly older, had just finished playing another piece on the piano, while the Camellian woman sat in a luxurious armchair, sipping wine.
-“You played wonderfully, as always,” she said after the piece ended.
-“Thank you,” he replied without showing any emotion, then moved to the chair opposite her and poured himself a glass of wine. After taking a sip, he looked at his companion and was once again surprised by how beautiful she was.
-“Have you ever thought that it might be better to continue enjoying playing musical instruments and leave fencing solely for entertainment?”
-“No, I’ve never thought that. Playing is only interesting because it evokes admiration from listeners, and I’m far from being the most talented musician among our people. Fencing, on the other hand, quickly became monotonous until I realized what I was missing. I was missing real enemies who would try to kill me, and I would try to kill them.”
-“And is that why you joined the Knights? To increase the interest in fencing?”
-“Again, you’re wrong,” he smiled. “I became a Knight for the sake of my people. For Camellia.”
-“And what threats do you want to protect your people from?” – there seemed to be a hint of mockery in her voice.
-“From all of them. The whole world is a threat to us. Absolutely any sentient being besides us is an enemy.”
-“That sounds a bit radical, don’t you think?”
-“Not at all. Every human state strives to become as strong and powerful as possible, to conquer its neighbors. Don’t think that just because we’ve lived in peace with the Celestial Empire and Nihon for so long, that peace will last forever.”
-“Are you talking about the Reimian Empire?”
-“First of all, yes, about them. 500 years ago, they were nothing more than a tiny state struggling for survival. Now, it is one of the most powerful empires in the world, which crushed Nihon. And how many generations of Camellians have passed in that time? One? Two? People expand quickly, their lives are short, and their memories are even shorter. Even if we convince their emperor not to touch us, who knows what his heir will decide? The heir of his heir? Notice, I’m not even talking about treachery and betrayal on their part – and that too should be feared.”
-“What do you propose?”
-“To carry out a complete reformation of Camellia. Every man and woman must be required to undergo military training. This is not just about wielding a sword – we will need experienced officers, medics, sailors. The government must organize scientific institutes that will be dedicated exclusively to military research. Solve the demographic problem, since humans currently have a significant numerical advantage. Require every Camellian man and woman to conceive and give birth to at least two children. Give a reasonable deadline for the latter – say, do it before the age of one hundred. That’s plenty of time to enjoy life and figure things out.”
-“In other words,” – there was sadness in her smile – “you want to deprive us of our way of life.”
-“No,” he shook his head. “These are only temporary measures. Yes, every Camellian will have to devote some time to our country. But nothing more than that. Otherwise, our way of life will remain unchanged. And if that seems cruel to you, think about what Reim will do to us when it comes here? They will take our homes for the nobility to live in, they will give our lands to their peasants, and they will exterminate us or turn us into ‘citizens of the Empire’ – and then each of us will have to spend not a few years of our lives, but every year, working 8 hours a day in one of their factories. What I propose is the lesser evil.”
-“Our people will never accept your ideas.”
-“Our people will accept my ideas. But they will have to, or they will forever lose our freedom and our identity.”
-“I see that you’ve already made up your mind. Other peoples are our enemies, Camellia needs reforms. What is the purpose of your journey if you have already drawn all the conclusions without leaving home?”
-“Well, certainly not to look at the peoples around us and ‘give them a chance’,” – there was undisguised mockery in his voice – “and not to say ‘we can live in peace! We need to give way to young races! They have the potential for great things!’” – he laughed – “no, not for that. I simply believe that no experience is complete without practice. I want to see how they live. How they fight. How they die. And if some of them die at my hands, so much the better.”
-“So, you are leaving me?”
-“Yes. I’m really sad to leave you, but a man must do what he must.”
They both stood up. The woman approached the Camellian man and hugged him:
-“I love you, Bedivere.”
-“And I love you, mother.”

I was really looking for a good Elven name, but all these Arandors and Irandruils didn’t appeal to me at all. If it’s really bad, I can rename it, but then give me a link to some relevant collection of names, please.
