༺༉❁ April 7th year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>“Fair questions, but ruby is actually an incredibly hard, durable mineral– making improvised weapons out of it is quite a bit more useful than you might think. Most people just don't use gemstones for such large implements because it's...

༺༉❁ May 1st year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <Sexual themes>It took…some time for him to clear his schedule, but when he did Velho was more than eager to return to the one he’d left to sleep up in his room. Entering the room, he’d tread over beside the cocoon and lifted from where it’d been cut...

<notes>Like many Æld’Norai, starting a family was a fleeting dream to the Exodii, one he regarded as a delusion that’d only make him feel inadequate if he ran after. To hear that he had noticeable potential from one of few sources that could say so with any certainty was…strange. It gave him...

<notes>It was interesting to hear that; Æhti had never really paid much thought to how predatorial beasts might perceive their prey. To learn that they were all the same in the eyes of animals…he liked that, actually. So tired was he of hearing that some people, some races, so on, had more value...

༺༉❁ January 3rd year 19,213 of the second age ❁༉༻ <notes>Ever since he'd gained the ability to decompose from flesh to Ash and back, Velho welcomed the skill and frequent use of it immediately upon its acquisition. It was a break from his body, the weight of it, the malaise of it. Scourge, the...

<notes>“Yeah, I don’t really know what his goals are. I know he has them; has to, right? He’s a scientist…they usually do things for a reason, to figure something out, at the very least. I suppose I just wish he’d tell me. It’d be easier to stomach, at least; knowing that my suffering has a...

༺༉❁ April 7th year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Abraia looked a bit disheveled from the encounter, but that didn’t matter– Æhti was just relieved to see that she was unharmed. “They are! I…honestly, I’d like to explore these caves more, some time. Like, bring appropriate supplies and spend...

<notes>Ah, and there it was. Just who was this client? Velho was a bit taken aback at the choice of both giving another an operation– likely implanting a Glamour organ– and Rusalka in the same encounter and then leaving of all things. It did make him wonder– just who was this person that’d done...

<notes>Vivian’s answers, though brief, confirmed his suspicions; he'd been turned, then abandoned. A rare occurrence, that's for certain– and surely, it'd happened outside of Ælheim. Given the boy's looks and apparent heritage, as well as proximity, he guessed either Bahn'Shei or Arcanis. That...

<notes>When Vivian turned to look at him, the creature floated back an arm’s length away; a bit longer than normal for that, though, given Velho’s height and strange, gangly proportions. He was all too happy to let his ‘guest’ look at him. The moon poured in from a single window on the far wall...

<notes>Velho exhaled a breathy chuckle, subtle ashes escaping his lips in the process. “A pleasure, truly, to come across one so sincere,” he’d say, though he’d not elaborate on what exactly he meant. “She– uh, in Draconic, she was talking about how she misses the cold, Velho! Maybe after we...

༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>The beast’s eyes were enchanting, entrancing; brilliantly kaleidoscopic. And though his inner monolog had quieted down to nothing, there was a sensation welling within that he’d reach a sort of enlightenment, perhaps, if he just kept staring into...

<notes>Æhti was quiet for a moment to think about the suggestion that he might stand to benefit from the blood’s regenerative properties during his initiations. The hypothesis made sense; the biggest threat during a Galdr initiation was your body destroying itself as it learned to resonate, or...

<notes> In the midst of performing a particularly complicated embalming– the deceased wished to have her corpse elaborately woven with a specific list of flora– Velho felt the immediate sense that something was…off. And not in a way he could dismiss as paranoia, no. This was a sort of sixth...

༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Æhti thought for a moment, and Postmaster did have a point– for when one gave something a name, one typically regarded that thing, or concept, or even abstraction, as known. And that doing so, indeed, was counterintuitive when one was searching...

<notes>“Truthfully, I’m not sure how Sovereignty works for Glamour magics, or Grist in particular…personally, my experience is exclusively with Galdr– but, Velho has said it’s the same? Or, rather, that he uses it when he casts any of his spellwork,” Æhti responded– though now that he thought...

<notes>The centipede would be unable to make a second attack, as in the same few moments that it tried to recover from its failed bite and wind up another strike, Æhti had gripped the back of its head with his other hand and, in a panic, blurted out an incantation. In the seconds after Abraia’s...
