EPICS
(with Ollie, various languages; all translated into Common)
desc: It’s a book on epics and folktales, with in-depth analysis and translations of many ancient epics gathered from Celeste and Terra. The epics often depict an ancient hero, skilled in the art of battle and magic. Heavy emphasis is put on the reverence of nature, being a protector of the weak, and a love for adventure. Romance is also popular among several of them. You’ve probably encountered some of the Celeste epics in your readings before.As for the Terran epics, three of them stand out.
Harahel and the Golden HarpThe story is said to originate from Illyria, and was translated from Celestial. It’s a dramatic story about a fallen angel, cast from the heavens for their pride and made to walk among mortals. The only way for Harahel to be welcomed back into Elysia is to find a legendary instrument and perform a song so beautiful that the gates of heaven will welcome them once more. On the journey to find the instrument, Harahel falls in love with a mortal bard named Falenas. They eventually find the ancient artifact, but Harahel decides to give it to Falenas instead, insisting that she could play much better music than they ever could. Harahel supposedly lives the rest of their days training aspiring musicians, alongside Falenas.
Amisra and the Siren’s BaneIt is a fairly lyrical epic (moreso than others in the book) from Eastern Aeston, translated from sylvan. It’s supposedly about the most beautiful creature in the world, Amisra, the Siren of the Salarius Ocean. Amisra supposedly lures all sea-farers who dare pass by her domain, and proceeds to drown their ship, making them lost forever. At some point in the story, a famous captain by the name of Jaonos, on his ship named the Siren’s Bane, vowed to hunt down Amisra and kill her once and for all. Throughout the epic, Amisra is described as beautiful, deadly, and cruel, and often seen and regarded as a monster. The epic then takes a sudden turn in the last few stanzas, where it starts to speak of Amisra more gently and empathetically. According to the story, the Siren’s Bane sank just like all the others, and that Amisra just wants to be left alone. The ending seems to imply that Jaonos survived the shipwreck and is the narrator of the epic.
Orel’s ChampionThe origins of the epic is debated on, with some people tracing it anywhere from Western Aeston, all the way to Lucerna. It was originally translated from draconic. The story is about the life of Reinyreth, often called Rein in the story. He was the child of two poor fisherfolk. He was said to have been so kind and brave during his youth, and was well loved by the people in his small village. As a gift for his good deeds, the great Orel granted him a legendary weapon (some say it’s a sword, others say it’s a trident, others say it was something else entirely) and magnificent powers. The rest of the epic details several different quests, slaying different monsters, saving kingdoms, and amassing great riches. Yet despite everything he’s been through and all the fame he achieved, he remains humble and generous by the end of the story, always giving back to those in need. The epic concludes with his eventual death from old age. They say that during his long life, he also spread the word of the god, Orel, all throughout Terra.
Expedition 14: The Lost City of Laissaea
(with Ollie, in Terran)
desc: It contains an author's note, which reads as follows: "After many years of deliberation, I have been persuaded by my partner to publish this novel on the basis of it being an entertaining read. The events of this story are based on a real life expedition by members of Edena, of which I was part. The names, including my own, as well as a few other details and important dates have been changed to preserve the privacy of all those involved. This book is also not affiliated with Edena despite my connections and is merely a personal account that I’ve decided to share. I also do not encourage readers to replicate this expedition without due preparation and experience."
The story is told through the perspective of Leopold Broffet (human), a junior marine researcher from the city of Galeza, in Central Aeston, and a member of Edena, a well established nature and science guild. His friend and colleague, Arnald Halas (half-orc) apparently had a dream about the lost city of Laissaea, and now wants to hold an expedition to find it, and is asking Broffet to co-lead it. After a month of paperwork, research, and rejected proposals, they finally get a go signal from the High Inquisitor, on the basis that the mission is volunteer-based only.Broffet and Halas spend the next two weeks writing letters to other branches, both in Terra and Celeste. It’s a difficult task, because while they still want experts who would be of use to the mission, it's much harder to find someone willing to join a 1-2 month journey in dangerous waters. Many scientists also doubt Laissaea's existence entirely, believing it to be nothing more than a Terran myth. Nonetheless, after another month since the expedition’s approval, they are able to form a team.The research team consists of: Ienaga Hauker (dragonborn), a jungle researcher from Tanyth; Ayda Elpyr (tiefling), an expert of historical artifacts from Augur, Illyria; Llora Valnan (wood elf), an alchemist from the Oakheart branch; and Tanyl Bobellon (halfling) an eager young intern from their local branch in Galeza. Broffet and Halas of course bring their own marine research expertise to the table as well. However, the team is still badly in need of a ship captain, as most of the local sailors are weary of agreeing to this mission, even if they are offering a decent amount of coin.
Eventually, they are able to get Captain Jefor Tomoa (water genasi), an older captain from a nearby fishing village, who accepts the job for double the gold, despite his rather unimpressive ship, the Hangman. We are also introduced to the captain’s daughter, Rieth Tomoa (water genasi), and his first mate, Conah Sands (yuan-ti), as well as some other minor crew members.One interesting thing of note is that Broffet refers to everyone in the story, even when speaking to them, by their last name. The only exceptions are Arnald, who he still calls Halas when in public circles, and the young intern Tannyl. As the story progresses though and he gets closer to the other members, he starts to call the others by their first name.The group encounters many different challenges throughout their journey, ranging from harsh storms to food spoilage. There are multiple times when the ship has to make a stop at a small island or back to the mainland, in order to resupply. There are also several attacks throughout the book that they must deal with, such as harpies, water elementals, and pirates. In the end, they are able to deal with most of them with little trouble.But perhaps the most interesting part of the book is the dynamic that develops between the members of the expedition. Halas and Elpyr find themselves constantly exchanging words throughout most of the story, frequently getting into heated debates over research. Halas frequently vents to Broffet about how Elpyr doesn’t respect him, and how he finds her insufferable. Broffet is more understanding, since Elpyr has the highest rank among all the Edena members of the mission, even if she isn’t the leader of the expedition.Meanwhile, Tannyl develops a crush on the captain’s daughter, and frequently goes to Broffet and Halas for advice. Broffet, the more reserved and rational one of the pair, advises him to take it slow and be respectful, even recommending getting closer to the captain first. Halas, the more brash and impulsive of the two, says that he should do a big dramatic gesture and definitely avoid the captain at all costs. Tannyl and Rieth do end up becoming somewhat of a couple later on in the story.Broffet also develops a strong friendship with Llora Valnan, and the two spend many nights just sharing stories about their respective homes (Galeza and Oakheart), the difference between ocean and sky vessels, and of course, their research. However, Broffet quickly learns that she is engaged to someone else, forcing Broffet to bury his developing feelings for her before they get any worse.
Several members of the team, mainly Hauker, Elpyr, and Halas, also heavily distrust the first mate, Conah, mainly for bearing the last name Sands (a name for bastards and orphans). Captain Tomoa of course defends his first mate, claiming that Conah is the bravest man he knows and is the only reason he agreed to this expedition at his old age. Hauker is the most critical of Conah, and at one point accuses him of stealing from the team (it is later discovered to be a different crew mate, who they turn over to local authorities during one of their stops).The expected two months of the expedition go by, and the group find themselves no closer to finding the lost city. They’ve checked almost all the rumored locations, but found nothing. Supplies and morale are at an all time low. Most of the members are eager to go home, especially Hauker, who has a husband and two children waiting for her. However, Halas and Elpyr, the two most dedicated to finding the city, continue to push for the mission’s extension. Broffet warns Halas about getting too obsessed with Laissaea, but ultimately lets him make the final call.The group resupplies at a village near Kore, and then continues their search for the lost city. Despite warnings of strong winds by the villagers, Halas and Elpyr advocate for sailing immediately. This leads to the Hangman getting caught in a terrible storm, where they are attacked by a giant sea serpent. Several crewmen, including Captain Tomoa, Tannyl, and Rieth, lose their lives to the monster. The ship is also severely damaged. Conah desperately tries to rescue everyone remaining at great risk to his own life. In the chaos, Conah takes a near fatal wound and loses an arm trying to save Hauker.With a combination of fighting and magic, the group is able to escape the beast, and row far enough to be rescued by another ship. They are taken to Lucerna, where they are allowed to rest and recover. Broffet feels a terrible sense of guilt for being unable to rescue Tannyl, who had looked up to him. He also contemplates confessing his feelings to Llora, but decides against it. Meanwhile, Hauker is heavily embarrassed for the way she treated Conah all throughout the journey but is having a hard time finding the words to apologize.Halas and Elpyr continue their explosive arguments, blaming each other for the tragedy that struck the ship, much to the frustration of everyone else. While in Lucerna though, the group discovers more concrete clues on where the lost city of Laissaea could have sunk. They use the last of their expedition gold to procure a new ship and resupply, and sail off once more, with Conah as their new captain.Despite their new information, the group still struggles to find the lost city. Another month passes, and it becomes obvious that they will never find Laissaea. But Halas refuses to give up the mission, saying he would rather die than return as a failure. Tired and frustrated, Broffet finally snaps at Halas, saying that they have no more funds and that they need to go home, loudly declaring in front of the whole ship that he refuses to die with him. He then asks Conah to sail home, taking charge for the first time since the mission started.On their way back, the party is attacked by the same sea serpent from before. More crewmen fall, and the ship is once again damaged. In the chaos, Llora almost dies, but is rescued by Broffet, and in the heat of the moment, the two kiss. Halas almost dies as well, but is rescued by Elpyr. Conah, despite his injuries from the last fight, battles the serpent head-on, in hopes of buying enough time for the rest of them to escape. Hauker sees this, and jumps in front of a fatal strike meant for Conah, dying in the process. Conah is able to finish off the serpent with the help of everyone else. They later discover that the serpent had been guarding a small underground treasure pile, which they take for themselves.
It is a shorter journey back now that they have stopped actively searching for the city. In under a month, they make it back to Galeza where Broffet confesses his feelings to Llora upon arrival. Llora admits to Broffet that while she likes him back, she cannot be with him out of duty. She thanks him for their collaborations, and then makes preparations to return to Oakheart. Meanwhile, Halas reveals to Broffet that he plans to travel with Elpyr back to Illyria, and that the two have been having an affair since the first month of the expedition, much to Broffet’s shock. Halas also leaves him to do the rest of the paperwork.The last chapter of the story involves Conah and Broffet making active plans to go to Tanyth and N’Batu (where Tannyl was from), in order to properly give their families the sad news, and their share of the treasure.Broffet reveals in the epilogue that he never spoke to Halas or Elpyr again, but wishes them the best in their endeavors. He admits that he remains good friends with both Hauker and Tannyl’s families, giving them part of his earnings when he can spare it. He also says that a year after the expedition, he received an invitation to Llora’s wedding, but he declined it. Broffet eventually became a senior researcher for Edena, with Conah as his regular on-call captain for any new expeditions.He ends the story declaring that if the lost city of Laissaea was real, the risks of finding it far outweigh any reward one hopes to gain through its discovery. He warns like minded scholars and scientists about the reckless pursuit of knowledge and to learn from his story.By "Leopold Broffet", Y. 6508
Terra
(with Ollie, in Common)
desc: It’s a short-ish leatherbound book, with simple illustrations depicting daily life. People carrying baskets along a marketplace, small sail boats sailing across the water, complex wooden house plans, etc. They are all labeled “Terran marketplace”, “sailing across Terran waters”, “traditional Terran houses” and the like. The drawings are simplistic but very easy to understand. One notable illustration is of a dragon flying in the sky, with the label, “a blessed sighting”.The text itself refers to a land named Terra, specifically around central Aeston, where the author stayed for most of their trip. They talk about how it’s like to live there, the locals, and just life in general. The narrator talks about how they’ve never seen so much water before, and how amazing it is to see so many new animals and creatures. They mention several times that this is far from what they were expecting, and is nothing like the accounts of other scholars. They note that Terra has larger civilizations than they thought, beautiful ways of dress, and a magical culture that is much more natural than that of Celeste.However, there is a section mid-way through the book where they mention something that the other scholars got right, which is the monsters. According to the author, the Wildlands or Wilds are quite untamed, and more dangerous than other parts of the continent. They mention that the locals can navigate them, but still avoid it when they can. At some point in the text, Fane admits that they’re too much of a coward to go anywhere without a guide.The book ends with the explorer going back to their home in Avencia, eager to publish their research in the royal library.By Thomasin Fane, Y. 6736 - DIS
The Gardener
(in Oakheart's royal library, in Common)
desc: The book follows the point of view of Rayen, a 21 year old human who has recently moved to Pinegulf, from Cottonwick. He is struggling to find work in the city, and has gotten into a few debts. Right as he is thinking about going back home, he finds an application to be a gardener for Lord Ivem Zwe, a 37 year old handsome half-orc/half-elf offering up a ridiculous amount of money for 6 months of work.He gets the job, along with several other servants, to revive the dying garden and refurbish the estate, so that it can be sold by the end of the year. As the only gardener that was hired, Rayen mostly keeps to himself. He spends a lot of the first few chapters trying understand the ever quiet and mysterious Ivem, who seems much kinder than other nobles he's seen or heard of.Almost all the hired help prefer to communicate to Ivem solely through the older housekeeper, Una, due to her being more approachable. Rayen is the sole exception, with Rayen choosing to report to Ivem directly, and the Lord personally asking him how the garden is going. Rayen also catches Ivem looking through the windows, into the garden, though Ivem never visits it himself.He frequently asks Rayen if there's anything else he needs for the garden, and shows a lot of concern for it. When Rayen says that the garden might require additional hands to meet the deadline, Ivem offers to double his allowance and even offers him a room in the estate so that Rayen can put in more hours. Rayen accepts, knowing that this money will be more than enough to pay for his debts and keep him in the city for years.While living in the estate, he slowly starts to learn more about Ivem through observation, snooping around the manor, and through Una. He learns that Lord Zwe inherited most of his money from his elven mother, who is an old wealthy noble somewhere in Sylvain. He was also the local Lawmaster of the city, before his very early retirement. He also learns that Lord Ivem was once married with a young daughter, through old family photos.Throughout the next months, Rayen slowly befriends Ivem, first through their shared meals, and later by inviting him out into the city. He later convinces Lord Ivem to finally go into the garden, in order to watch the progress of his work himself. After a bit of pestering, Ivem agrees, though he immediately starts to cry upon seeing the now blooming poppies.Rayen musters up the courage to ask Una about Ivem, and she reveals that he and his wife had built this garden together, when they first moved into the city. She explains that the couple was very happy together, and even had a young child, Poppy, who they adored. However, mother and child died in an airship crash while visiting Poppy's grandparents. The only reason Lord Ivem had survived was because of his work in the city, which left him unable to join the trip. Una also tells Rayen that the only person who has made Ivem smile in recent years is him.The months continue on, and Rayen is determined to help Ivem overcome his grief and help him find happiness again. He invites him into the city more often, plays music with him (apparently Lord Ivem is very good on the piano) while Rayen has a nice singing voice, and eventually, gardens with him.There is one particular night, in the later months, when the two of them lose track of time in the garden, and are caught in the rain. The two laugh it off, and in a spur of the moment, kiss, before going inside. The two continue their friendship in the next days, but never talk about the kiss. Rayen also realizes that he has fallen in love with Lord Ivem.Not too long after the kiss, exactly five months since Rayen was first hired, the two of them have fully restored the garden to its former glory, ahead of schedule. With the rest of the estate in good condition as well, Lord Ivem gives everyone their promised pay early, and begins looking for a buyer. Rayen, who had thought that there was something more between them, is deeply hurt by this. He turns down the rest of the money, and moves back to Cottonwick heartbroken.Rayen is welcomed back by his family (who owns a small farm) with open arms. A few weeks after settling down, his family informs him of a visitor that came all the way from Pinegulf, none other than Lord Ivem Zwe himself. Rayen's family invites Ivem for dinner, and asks him to stay the night. Ivem quickly befriends the rest of Rayen's family, leaving Rayen himself quite confused by the whole circumstance. The two are unable to have a conversation though before lights out is called.The next morning, Ivem asks Rayen to speak with him, but Rayen says he is busy with work in order to avoid having to deal with his feelings. He is later surprised to find Lord Ivem in a gardening outfit, ready to help him in the fields. The two work side by side, with their conversations initially being quite awkward. But as time goes by, the two rekindle their friendship and begin joking around like nothing ever happened.By sunset, Rayen and Ivem end their workday by going to a nearby meadow. There, Ivem confesses that he has fallen in love with Rayen, but that he was scared of rejection and misunderstanding Rayen's feelings. He also didn't want to overstep his boundaries while he was still his employer. Ivem says that while he still wishes to sell the estate, he does not want Rayen out of his life. Rayen kisses him enthusiastically, and jokingly says that he's welcome to stay in the farm as long as he works for it.In the epilogue, set 2 years from the last chapter, we see both Rayen and Ivem happily married, having built a new simpler cottage, just a bit away from Rayen's family home, complete with their own little garden.By Hermes Sommers, 661 AE
The Nobleman
(with Nine/Fiske, in Common)
desc: So it's a book called "The Nobleman" with a pretty, washed out illustration on one of the early pages. Very simple drawing of a man in a suit, and some figure wearing simple, more natural attire. It’s written like a very interesting old fictional novel.The two main characters are Aiden, a young nobleman from Upper Sylvain, and Luan, a druid from Terra. The two meet early on in the story, after Aiden’s ship crashes somewhere in Easter Aeston. Luan rescues Aiden, and nurses him back to health.As Aiden is recovering, and the airship is being rebuilt, the two become friends. Luan shows him the most beautiful places in Aeston, while Aiden talks about his kingdom in the sky. The druid talks about how they’ve always wanted to fly to the sky kingdoms, but has always been too scared to do so. The airship is eventually repaired, and Aiden asks Luan to come with him to Celeste, which they accept.Most of the story focuses on the differences between the two leads, and the two different worlds they come from. There is a strong romantic subtext between the two of them, though it’s never explicitly written. It’s just very clear that two care for each other a lot. It doesn’t help that their relationship seems to be frowned upon by both their peoples.Throughout their stay in Celeste, Luan frequently reminisces about the home they left behind. A trade vessel going to Terra presents them the opportunity to go back home. Aiden asks Luan to stay for good, but Luan ultimately says no, saying that they would never truly be happy there. The noble understands, and brings Luan back, promising to visit them every year.Several years pass, and the noble is painted as unhappy. They miss Luan dearly, and frequently longs for their yearly visits. Aiden abdicates the throne, and decides to catch the next ship going to Terra. However, the ship is caught in a heavy storm and crashes in the middle of Salarius (an ocean near Aeston it seems).When Aiden stops visiting, Luan comes to the slow realization that he’s finally settled back to his life in the city, and has probably forgotten about them. Nonetheless, Luan still waits by the shore at the same time each year, hoping that one day, their friend will return.And that's how the book ends.
Q&A (asked by Ollie's player)What/whose pov was it written in? Curious because the title only mentions the nobleman and not the druid.
Third person limited, following both the main protagonists, but more closely follows Luan's. It begins with them on the shore, seeing the ship crash and ends with them on the shore, waiting for Aiden.How long is the book? (pages/chapters/etc., whichever works)
Hmm around 300-400 pages, but easy to read. About 24 chapters.Were their respective races and ages ever mentioned?
Races were never explicitly stated. Aiden is in his 20s, and old enough that their family is pressuring them to marry. Luan's age was never said but they help take care of kids in their village, and seemed to have a growing number of responsibilities na, so implied adult.Just checking if I'm right, bc ppl can have multiple pronouns naman anyway - Aiden is a he/him, Luan a they/them?
Yes, Aiden is he/him and Luan is they/them.Was it ever mentioned why their relationship was seemingly frowned upon? Like, any hints or minor details.
There seems to be a bit of tension between the people of Celeste and Terra. While trade seems to be established, there seems to be a lot of differing practices and beliefs (ie. people in Terra don't really have nobles, kings, etc.). People in Terra also seem more wary of the technology such as airships.At one point in the early story, Luan gets a little offended when Aiden asks where all the monsters are, because apparently he was told that Terra was full of wildlands. Luan explains that this isn't the case, but that there are definitely places you should not to, such as beyond the borders of the settlement. It's never really touched upon again in the book though.Any author name anywhere?
No author it seems; though you may roll a high DC investigation check if you'd like.
(Investigation check result: you'd know that one of the only other characters mentioned is a fellow noble named Vincent Riviere. Aiden's best friend, and the only person he told that he was running away.
Subsequent history check result: Elwood isn't familiar at all. Riviere however does sound vaguely familiar. Maybe you read about it, or maybe one of your parents said it once, or maybe it is still a prominent noble family. Can't be sure.)Are there any dates mentioned anywhere?
No date, but based on the bindings, it looks quite old. Aiden's last name is Elwood. There is also no mention of the words 'Empire', 'Erebos', 'Helos' or 'Scarlet Guard'.Actually, onga what was the noble's kingdom? If it was ever named hahaha. Follow-up question: how is Sylvain divided ba? (ex: upper, so may lower? if so, ano yung kasama in each section?)
Upper Sylvain means the kingdoms that are higher up in terms of elevation. That would be Lakestar, Oakheart, or Mythwood. (Though Oakheart is teetering the line, coz it's a bit more towards middle. It's also low compared to the other kingdoms, since Sylvain is lower in the sky compared to Sol and Azure).What was Luan's stay in Celeste like?
It was a bit weird, but not wholly unpleasant naman. Aiden tried his best to accomodate them. They don't feel as comfortable in the clothes. The lack of water (like oceans and seas) was a big adjustment. The food doesn't feel as fresh. People would give them weird stares (you can't be sure if it's coz of their appearance or because they're some random person hanging out with Aiden, a noble).What were the main differences between the two protagonists of the novel?
Aiden is very chill, polite, and bookish. A little bit of a coward, which is why them giving up their status to follow Luan is sort of a big deal. Luan is more of an outdoors person, and is very adventurous. Doesn't like being restricted. Both are somewhat leaders where they come from, just in different ways.Any actual physical descriptions for these two pala? hahaha okay lang din kung wala.
Author doesn't really focus on appearances. But when Luan was in Celeste, they'd think about how most people look like Aiden, implying Aiden is one of the more common races (human, elvish) and that Luan is not.Are there any geographical etc. differences between terra and celeste, aside from one being up in the sky and one not? (na mentioned sa book ofc)
Well the oceans and sand is one thing. Hotter climate it seems also, at least where Luan is from. Lots of references to fruits and stuff that Ollie has never heard of. Houses are smaller and simpler compared to the stone buildings and castles in Celeste.
Also, the Celeste empire is still what it's called in modern day. Auros is the name of the world, inclusive of Erebos. Though when most people use the term Auros, they often just refer to the sky kingdoms / Celeste empire anyway.END OF Q&A
The Man Who Swallowed the Moon
(with Ollie, in Common)
desc: The front page has a detailed illustration of a dark silhouette against a silver moon, and a silvery “shadow” cast upon the ocean.
By dawn or dusk, a young Auros persists,
Its children waging war against its back
Monsters and mortals in their ceaseless clash
Only to bend and break by nature’s wrath.
You see images of overgrown wilds, leviathans rising from the sea, large elemental titans, and fearsome beasts and monsters terrorizing towns. You see images of earthquakes leaving cracks along the earth, mountains spitting out fire, and untameable storms devastating ships.
Our true story starts with the birth of twins,
Found along Old Illyria’s moonlit shore:
Cal, with cunning mind and veins lit ablaze
and Aur, of tender heart and gentle soul.
A fisher village takes them in, at cost
To live a childhood stained by orphan names
Which they cast upon the sand, forgotten.
They smile, content to play among the waves.
There is an image of two young boys playing in the ocean waves, under the light of one large close-up moon, and a much smaller moon in the distance. Both moons are never drawn in any other phase other than full.
Until then came the eve of their tenth year,
When the land was swept by an umbral plague
Sickness and sorrow, amidst blackened limbs
and ghostly eyes of men marked for the grave.
The images depict people's veins and skin darkening, victims bleeding “darkness”, and eyes turning full black, before dying.
Such as young Cal did darkness seek to claim,
At risk of being taken by the Shade.
Yet this quick end, his twin could not accept,
To every god and spirit Aur had prayed
Only to return to a midnight sea
and cry, ‘Fair moons above please save his life.’
Since then the sky would grow a little dim,
For the distant moon had lent Aur its light.
There are drawings of Aur just wading through the water alone and crying, the waters glowing around and drowning them, and then Aur resurfacing with white hair, as the second further moon completely disappears from the night sky.
With haste Aur rushed towards his brother’s side,
He held his heart and cured Cal of his plight,
As with all the rest of the village sick
For healing hands have come to end the blight.
This miracle the town would not forget,
Across the waters, young Aur’s name would spread,
A name never looked down upon again,
And a gift cheered for years and years ahead.
Aur heals Cal and the rest of the village and is celebrated for it. He is treated as a hero by everyone.
Before much long, ten years had come and gone,
The twins had grown and changed by their own charms,
Moontouched Aur with his, no their, long white hair
and Cal with pitch black marks upon his arms.
You see drawings of the two boys growing up. As young kids, they looked almost identical, with brown skin and dark hair. Later on, Aur takes on a more feminine appearance, letting their white hair grow. Meanwhile, the black veins on Cal's arms and legs remain. Aur is also more often drawn in the foreground, with Cal in the background, as they age.
Same face, yet the crowd sings different songs,
Same eyes, yet one sees more fame.
Healer, dutifully loved and admired,
Warrior, who strives and reaches for the same.
All did marvel upon Aur’s radiant grace
Yet for brave Cal, his marks their eyes would stray,
Their cruel whispers drowning out the praise
But through it all, he always chose to stay.
It becomes apparent through illustrations that Aur is well-loved and respected by many of the townsfolk. Meanwhile, most of the villagers only seem to turn to Cal to get close to Aur. A fair few even seem to avoid Cal, due to his markings, which are seen as a painful reminder of those who have been lost from the old sickness.
Although one night, Cal found himself at shore
and begged, ‘Fair moon above, please bless me too.”
Only the brine stood still and ever silent,
As he wished for a life he never knew.
There is one scene where Cal goes to the waters alone, asking for the same gift given to Aur, and being met with a still, quiet ocean, and a large unmoving moon.
When more years passed, Aur only found renown
From orphan child, to chief and spirit guide
Suitors and princes lined up at their door,
As poor Cal’s envy festered deep inside.
Despite this, he remained as their right hand,
Cal’s tactical wit to Aur’s trusting heart.
All while the fears crept up within his chest
Knowing that one day soon they’d grow apart.
There is an image of Cal walking with a shadow, that seems to have shifting eyes. It is depicted as growing whenever Cal’s resentment and jealousy festers. It only disappears when he’s alone with Aur.
One faithful hunt upon the wilds, Cal met
A maiden fair whose sword was just as sharp,
How their blades crashed and danced, evenly matched,
So thus their secret love affair would start.
The traveler from far across the sands,
One who saw beyond his looming shadow,
Five joyous months, before asking her hand
And yet she was gone within the morrow.
The woman is depicted as a darker skinned aasimar, who proves to be an excellent warrior. The two of them accidentally end up going for the same kill in their meeting illustration, ending up like that one still from Princess Mononoke. The two would later keep meeting in the dangerous jungle wilds, training with each other and getting closer. But one day she just stopped showing up.
A year and two months, Cal’s broken heart pined,
Moping upon Aur’s side, ‘til threat had come:
An army marching from the desert north,
To the beat of conquest and warring drums.
Yet violence and death was no man’s intent,
So Magister and village chief would speak,
Posing a marriage to unite both tribes
Else battle and blood their city would seek.
There is a drawing of an old, yet vast army. The armor, weaponry, and tools of the conquering nation seem to be quite advanced for the time period, at least compared to the twins’ village and even the other visitors illustrated thus far.
Aur they chose, as the leader of the town,
Magister’s daughter offered in exchange.
A lovely bride, and a familiar face,
In Cal’s lost love, ruthless fate had arranged.
Upon their vows, his heartache thus burst forth,
Now asking her to choose between them both;
In duty’s name, she answered there and then,
‘The moon’s chosen is the one I shall wed.’
The images come slowly, with the words. It’s an elegant wedding, as the bride enters for the first time. You see Cal’s face before seeing the bride’s. As the wedding grows on, Aur completely unaware, this growing darkness gathers around Cal, before he speaks up, to everyone’s horror and she rejects him with tears in her eyes.
In a sudden blur came what happened next,
Cal and his shadow having now transformed
To a monstrous beast made of hate and scorn,
Unleashing upon a dark, hungry storm.
Cal’s shadow grows intense, morphing into silhouettes of several monstrous forms, before attacking and killing the Magister.
The foreign soldiers he tore through with glee,
As the village folk would soon then follow,
Aur chased and scrambled after through the dark
Shielded only by the light they’d borrowed.
Cal has fully merged with his shadow, turning into a monstrous shadow creature, intent on consuming all within his path. Aur uses their light to keep their brother at bay. Somewhere in the drawings, we also see the warrior girl making an escape with the few survivors.
Hundreds, thousands, of men Cal laid to waste
And yet no blood or bone could quell his rage,
Until he saw high up, the one to blame,
The light that trapped him in this twisted cage,
The source of every wrong within his life.
With that, Cal rushed upon the moon in spite,
And in one fell swoop, consumed by the shade,
Plunged self and moon into a dark, cold night.
There is a drawing of a monstrous shadow swallowing up the moon, and then being consumed by light as they both disappear.
Alone, Aur clambered back towards the sea
Weeping beneath a black and moonless sky,
‘Take me if you must,’ Aur, to nothing, prayed
‘If it would mean being back by his side.’
So the ocean’s depths pulled them down below,
The surface water growing more untamed,
For the small distant moon has now returned
And the twins, up above, the sky has claimed.
We see Aur, standing in the middle of the ocean, with no moon in sight, yet still praying up above. In the next drawings, we see them close their eyes, falling and sinking into the sea.
By dark or light, a young Auros moves on
As our story ends, back upon the shore:
One moon, same face, two souls, and two children,
Now free to play along the waves once more.
The last drawings are the silhouettes of children playing with the waves, pushing and pulling, as the distant moon changes phases in the sky for the first time.

Under The Moonlight
(with Seira, in Common)
desc: The main love affair features a young woman named Eleanor and a man named Fabian. The story is set in an unnamed village near the Talek Mountains (near Enoch). The time period is a little ambiguous, but one can assume that it’s not too far from the current setting based on technologies mentioned.We follow Eleanor’s point of view for most of the first part, but it later switches to Fabian’s and even Clay’s (Eleanor’s father) as the story goes on. We learn very early on that Eleanor lost her mother at a young age, and has a complicated relationship with her father, a once fearsome hunter before his retirement. The two had been living a comfortable life in Enoch City before suddenly moving to this new village. It is implied that Clay was running away from some unpaid debts in the city.Not accustomed to the much simpler life of the village, Eleanor is miserable in her new home, frequently longing to return to Enoch. After about two weeks of settling into the town, Eleanor impulsively runs away in the dead of night, sneaking away from the old cottage where they’re staying. She seemed to think (or hope) that she could walk back to the city, despite it being several days through the mountain.Unsurprisingly, she doesn’t get very far before she is attacked by a pack of wolves. A brave, handsome young man (later revealed to be Fabian) rescues her. He jumps between her and the wolves, despite bearing no weapons, and just talks to them. It was as if the wolves could understand him. He escorts her back to the village and warns her about the dangers of wandering the nearby forests, especially at night. Eleanor is instantly smitten, and spends the next week just dreaming about meeting this mystery man again.There’s a whole scene where Eleanor is just staring out of her bedroom window, staring at the full moon, practically asking Myria and Ardent to let them meet again. The moon is also called Aurora numerous times throughout the book.After a few more days, the village starts to make preparations for the Golden Leaf Festival. Eleanor is very excited because the upcoming party is the closest thing she has to her old life in the city. She immediately volunteers to help the other people in town prepare for this. This is where she meets Fabian again, who is apparently the Lawmaster’s son, who has only recently returned from traveling around Celeste. The two of them are part of the decorating committee, and are able to get closer to one another in the process.At this point in the story, rumors start going out that a large beast was spotted in the forest, deeper into the mountains, worrying several villagers. The Lawmaster, who acts sort of like a mayor to this small village, begins inquiring to Clay about his skill in hunting, but Clay plainly states that he is retired and doesn’t hunt anymore.After several chapters of exhausting sexual tension and shameless flirting between the two main leads, the Eve of the Golden Leaf arrives, marked by a large celebration. This is where Eleanor and Fabian get together for the first time. They spend the rest of the week enjoying the rest of the festival together (and at night, sleeping together). When the holiday ends, Fabian makes his courting public, much to the delight of the rest of the townsfolk who think they are a rather attractive couple, and the Lawmaster who thinks highly of Clay and his daughter. Clay however isn’t too eager about his daughter’s suitor, warning Eleanor to stay away from Fabian, believing him to be trouble.Eleanor does not listen to her father’s wishes, frequently sneaking off to meet with Fabian whenever she can. The two have a tryst almost every other night. One of these nights, she evens suggests that the two of them elope, but he turns it down promptly, saying that he could not do that to her father and that he is a gentleman.Almost a month since they first met, Eleanor starts to realize that Fabian has been acting a little strange. He seems nervous during their meetups. He’s frequently going in and out of the forest. Basically, it seems like he has a secret. When the week of the next full moon arrives, he tells her that he has business to attend to in the city on his father’s behalf, and that he will be gone for the next few days. Wanting to go to the city and being partly suspicious, Eleanor offers to go with him, but he immediately refuses.Eleanor starts to suspect Fabian of having another woman in the city, and plans to catch him in the act. Of course, remembering her past attempt to leave the town, she decides to do some extra preparations by attempting to steal her father’s old hunting gear. She is caught by her father, who agrees to follow Fabian instead if it means keeping her in the village for her safety.Clay trails Fabian’s carriage to the city. But due to a combination of bad weather (and the Mist), he loses them somewhere in the forest on the first day. He camps out underneath the full moon, where he feels a moment of inadequacy for being unable to give his daughter the good life she deserves, and how her happiness (with Fabian) means her leaving him for good. He ultimately decides that he would give his blessing to Fabian as long as he turns out to be an honest man.As he continues tracking Fabian’s carriage, he is attacked by a large wolf, a beast and monster that makes all his previous hunts pale in comparison. He wrestles with the beast for quite a while, damaging one of its hind legs and slashing at its maw with his silver dagger. Clay manages to escape with only a few injuries.When he returns to the village, he finally agrees to organize a hunting party for this terrible beast, much to the Lawmaster’s delight (as he has been under a lot of pressure from the scared villagers). However, Eleanor is very disappointed that he did not follow through on his promise to watch Fabian.A few days later, Fabian returns from the city, now sporting a small scar across his lower lip and a minor limp, which he claims to be from a tavern brawl. Clay immediately starts to suspect that Fabian and the beast are one and the same person, and becomes increasingly paranoid throughout the next month. He forbids Eleanor from seeing Fabian entirely, practically locking her in their small cottage. Meanwhile, the hunt for the beast continues.Eleanor and Fabian continue their affair, now completely in secret. Fabian is revealed to be a werewolf in his chapters, still in search of a cure. When it becomes clear that the rest of the village wants him gone, he accepts Eleanor’s previous proposal to elope together, on the condition that they do so within the week (as the next full moon approaches).Clay learns of their plans to elope, and realizing that he is unable to control his daughter, decides to go for Fabian instead. He lures Fabian into the woods on the guise of finally giving his blessing, but secretly plans to kill him. In self defense, Fabian transforms into his wolf form despite the lack of a full moon, proving all of Clay’s fears true. In their battle, Clay is fatally injured and bitten. Fabian, with the last bit of humanity he has left despite being in beast form, is able to drag the injured Clay back into the village, where he is rescued by several healers. Unfortunately, Fabian is caught by the other hunters of the town, and subsequently killed.When Clay wakes up, he learns about the beast’s death (and later on, Fabian’s “disappearance”) and feels shame and guilt. Eleanor is heartbroken, believing that Fabian has abandoned her for a life back on the road. Meanwhile, Clay realizes that his wounds have healed at a much faster pace than they should, and that he feels younger and stronger than ever before.In the last chapter of the book, which follows Clay, he writes a last will and testament for Eleanor, and arranges passage for her to go back to the city safely, where she can start the new life she always wanted. The book ends with Clay disappearing into the mountains, hunting gear still in tow, as he transforms for the first time in the light of the full moon.By Adoris Thellen, 708 AE

Expert Fishing Techniques
(with Seira, in Common)
desc: It is a book on different cloud-fishing techniques, along with the common altitudes for the various flying fish and cloud life around the Umber islands. But perhaps what's more interesting is the various little notes and anecdotes written all throughout the margins of the book.It starts with a few comments and additional fish facts by a person named Arwen. In another, distinctly different handwriting though, are the messages of Yvana, sort of doodling on the book (pretty decent drawings) and treating it as a day to day diary.Arwen compliments Yvana on her drawings, but also disapproves of her lack of fish trivia. Yvana calls Arwen a nerd. The two start a weird sort of friendship (with a little bit of light flirting and teasing) throughout the different pages.At some point, Yvana dares Arwen to meet her outside the "training room" at midnight. After that point, the messages of the book become much more lovey-dovey. Until it reaches a point where Arwen's handwriting disappears, and you see frustrated ramblings of Yvana asking Arwen to stop ignoring her and just talk to her, along with some sad doodles.The last message is at the back of the book, in Arwen's handwriting (after many many chapters of nothing from her) that just says "I miss you. I'm sorry." Published Y. 7003
Fifty Shades of Red
(with Luna, in Undercommon)
desc: "There's this one about a vampire that apparently glistens like moonlight when they strip and stare at the sun... Maybe I should ask Flint about that one. You know these people have odd taste in fiction... 50 shades of red? Who wants to read about color?" - Luna, as he reads through it
Guide to Polymorph by Rangers
(with Larkspur, in Common?)
desc: A red leatherbound book found in a mysterious underground study. Title was mistakenly read as 'Go, go, Polymorph rangers' by Larkspur.
Guide to Foraging
(with Ollie, in Sylvan)
desc: The book is very old, with weathered pages that almost tear when you go through it. Some of the ink has faded, but it’s still mostly readable. It’s written in sylvan and is quite detailed, going through the various plants, berries, and edibles that can be found throughout the kingdom of Sylvain. A lot of these things you already knew about from your time in Aster, but there are still a few plants you’ve never seen before. It’s a pleasant read, even if you have to squint at some of the older pages.
H-M
Home Cooking
(with Ollie, in Common)
desc: It is a decent sized cookbook, with a lot of different recipes all for different occasions. A few pages have accompanying illustrations that are simple and cartoonish in style. The book seems to pride itself in using many local Avencia ingredients in most of its dishes. You’ve probably tasted a few of these before, while others you’ve had in different forms or styles. There are definitely a lot of new recipes to you, but most seem very doable in terms of ingredients (either they are still available somewhere in Sylvain, or have some substitutes you can think of). The difficulty of the dishes vary widely as well. By Rosemary Weaver.
House Helos
(found in bookstore in Lakestar, not bought, in Common)
desc: Skimming through, the book talks about the Helos lineage, starting from Valor, the great hero who vanquished the treacherous gold dragon and the 1st Emperor. You skip to the last pages, and you see that it ends with the coronation of the current queen, Valyra Helos. There's a gorgeous illustration of her in the book as well. She has bright red hair and delicate elven features. She looks extremely beautiful, and is depicted as a sweet and kind queen in the portrait.
How to Make Anyone Laugh
(with Kibble, in Common?)
desc: A small pocket book, filled with various jokes, that allows the holder to cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter once a day, with a DC of 13.
Local Flora and Fauna
(with Ollie, in Common)
desc: It's a thin journal that catalogues the local flora and fauna of Old Avencia. Some of them you still recognize, because they grow in other parts of Sylvain. A good portion you don't, and considering what you've seen of Old Avencia's landscape, they're probably extinct.
N-S
Rulers of the Sky
(with Ollie, in Elvish)
desc: The book is quite thin, but very extensive. It’s written in elvish, and has a series of detailed illustrations on various kinds of dragons; none of them are colored, but each illustration is often labeled with a detailed description of the dragon’s scales.The book mostly talks about their various abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. How some older dragons are terrifying in their own right. How their wings can knock down forests, and their breath can destroy even the strongest of castles. It talks about strong magical abilities, and for some, the ability to transform.The author states that they believe the dragons are the vessels of the gods, sent to the world to teach mankind magic. According to the text, many people from Terra worship the dragons, but the people of Celeste are more likely to fear them. The authors are very neutral on the subject, and don’t express their own beliefs. Published 4190 - YLF.
T-Z
The Brave and Courageous
(with Ollie, in Common and Elvish)
desc: It is a small book, not overly thick or thin, but has very small printed text written in common, with elvish translations. It is basically a book all about social etiquette, for both commoners, aristocrats, and nobles. The author is very wordy, and a little sarcastic at times, but is quite good at getting the points across. He speaks of the different social rules more as a necessity that people must live by, rather than something he actually promotes. Sort of like a survival guide. He often makes references to knights and warriors, and talks about treating social engagements and events as a battlefield. A lot of the stuff is definitely very old fashioned but some of the things here are still practiced to this day. By Anthony Riddle, Y. 7080.
The Eighteen
(with Luna, in Common)
desc: ...a thin book on the 18 major gods and goddesses of Auros. The title is just "The Eighteen". It's quite old and not the most detailed, but it gives basic information on all of them.
The Everlasting Art of Carpentry
(with Ollie, in Common)
desc: It is a very detailed and long book on different wooden furniture that were popular in Sylvain during the time. It has names for various furniture types, illustrations of what they look like, close ups on the kind of legs and wood carvings they would have, etc. It has a section on the most famous furniture makers of the past century, but seems to focus on people from the kingdom of Sylvain. It also has a section on the best furniture making and carpentry techniques. It even has an entire section dedicated to trees and the wood they produce. By Asodth Litmus, Y. 5998.
The First Tree
(Cobblestone household, in Common)
desc: ...a very thin hardbound book, and the cover has this really pretty but worn illustration of like a tree being planted by a firbolg looking figure.One day, the goddess Vir came upon the earth, resembling a creature very similar to the firbolg.The humans of course, wary of someone that did not look like them, did not take kindly to Vir. The village pretended to be her friend, welcoming her among them, but secretly plotting to take her out.Of course, not everyone in the village was unkind. One person, a young boy warned Vir about the village's plans. Of course, Vir being a goddess, after finding out about their deception and plans, grew angry. In a fit of rage, she cursed the humans to feel hunger for the very first time. And they realized the harshness of the barren lands that they walked upon.The boy of course pleaded mercy to Vir. Because of the kindness that the boy showed to her, she decided to leave the boy with a gift.She turned him and his family into the first firbolgs, and gave them a seed which would turn into the first tree. So basically the boy and his family, the only kind ones in the village became the first firbolgs, and they planted the first tree, which grew into the first forests.
The Life of Norwin Grove
(with Seira, in Common?)
desc: It's basically an autobiography of a halfling man named Norwin Grove, who was the only child of a single mother from a small village near Mooncrest. He became the assistant of a local tax collector in his small town, by the age of sixteen. As he worked, he was quite adept at learning people's secrets throughout his visits.In his late thirties, he would later board an airship headed for Dustcall seeking a change in his life. He travelled from town to town before landing a banker job in Ironfair. He briefly got engaged to a half-orc woman working in the mines, but broke it off due to a fear of commitment.Somewhere in his forties, he would accidentally get kidnapped by some local rebels in a town raid, where he survived two fatal stabbings. Due to his trauma, he would later seek self-defense lessons somewhere in the small island of Millstone. His airship back crashed on his way back to Dustcall, landing him on a curious island. The rest of the story seems to be incomplete or unwritten. By Norwin Grove, 714 AE.
Journals
Halfling's journal, from Old Avencia
(with Ollie, in Common)
The journal seems to be someone's private journal, set in 576 AE. It's not the most interesting. The writer seems to ramble a lot. Talks about school in the early pages, brings up wanting to go to Seros, etc. Parts about getting a girlfriend, and then parts about breaking up with said girlfriend.“...Tadeo has formed a team to explore Old Avencia, and has been kind enough to invite me. He also invited two others. Salvia is a firbolg. I’ve never personally one of them before, but I hear they have the most beautiful home. Apparently she worships Myria. I should ask her to tour me around the next time I find myself in Oakheart. Brilliant archer apparently. As for Selene, well, I don’t know how to feel about her. She supposedly worships Myria as well, but she rubbed me the wrong way when we first met. Always trying to cling to Tadeo….”The next part just talks about gathering supplies, how he feels a bit out of place with such an accomplished team, that Tadeo plans to invite more people.“Three more are joining us. An Erys Lowin is a kind drow fellow, supposed inventor. Worships Vita, same as Tadeo. There’s also a gnome… Glen? Yeah, I think that’s his name. Didn't ask who they worship. There was someone else, but they backed out. Forgot the name that Tadeo mentioned.”Then he talks about what he had for breakfast. Talks about having second thoughts in the mission. Talks about how Tadeo's been acting funny ever since meeting Selene. Talks about what he's gonna wear.The next part talks about how the mission got delayed and how Tadeo and Selene grow impatient. Salvia, Glen, and the narrator don't seem as bothered by it. Got delayed basically just through logistics, like problems getting a ship, etc."Our ship crashed... we are stranded... I argued that we should repair the ship first, before pressing forward, at least assure our way out. But Tadeo insists we keep moving.""The door to the temple's locked. We're hoping that the library will have answers. I'm personally more interested in checking what else this place has to offer, anyway.""!!!!This library confirms it! Terra! All my theories about the mist are true! I want to keep reading, but I also want to keep exploring! This is amazing!""It looks like this library leads to another hallway. Tadeo insists we go inside to check if there's another way to access the temple through it.""This room seems to be the royal bed chamber."And then the handwriting is getting progressively worse all throughout."THE THING. IT'S AWFUL.""IT GOT GLEN.""WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING."And there's like very loose black scribbles of like a blob but it's very bad."Okay... we've barricaded the door. We should be safe.""NO. WE'RE NOT. IT GOT THRO--"And that's where the journal ends, with the rest of the pages blank.
Bunker journal, from Samora
(with Ollie, in Common and ???)
It reads like a personal diary, though you aren't able to get much out of just cursory glances. Whoever wrote it had pretty awful handwriting.Contained a letter in a different handwriting, in Common, that says:
To the Neredras family:Good day. My name is Kaeda Teldros, a soldier from Lower Umber and a good friend of your son, Oryn. The two of us have been friends ever since he was drafted into the same squadron. Two weeks ago, we were tasked to defend Drasir from possible invaders. While we ultimately won against the Terrans, many were lost in the battle. It is with a heavy heart that I announce that your son did not make it. I'm sorry.Oryn was a brilliant man, and a good friend. A much better man than I could ever be. He proved an invaluable member of the team, and saved my life multiple times. He did not deserve this death.I also write to warn you. Part of the information we gathered before the attack is where they plan to strike next. I fear they plan to invade Samora. I know that no place is safe right now, but please try to find shelter where you can. I know Oryn would want you all to be safe.The package attached to this letter contains the last of Oryn's things, including his personal journal.Keep safe. May the Gods watch over us all.Kaeda Teldros
