꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Being a good teacher is an acquired skill in and of itself; at least Själ is genuinely trying to be helpful. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Själ needs to get closer to some of her fellow fighters so they can shoulder one another's emotional burdens; seeing so much violence can be a lot & she doesn't seem like the type that's devoid of empathy. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ She might consider actually getting proper shield training, because while not particularly flashy, shields are incredibly versatile in combat. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Why doesn't Själ yet have an array of practice weapons to use while she spars? That way she wouldn't have to split her focus between honing her techniques and trying to not cut her partners to ribbons. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Hmmm, I wonder where Garen acquired this strange, foreign weapons. But also, Själ simply needs friends. Most warriors do not rely solely upon themselves, that's why adventuring parties and the like exist. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ It's completely fair for Själ to be cautious when navigating the forests of Ælheim; one never knows when one may wander into a grove, or into a precarious plant or animal, for that matter. Also deciding to spar in an isolated area when the caravan...

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ As an aside, some people might react with curiosity towards Själ's weapon of choice. Katana-style blades aren't particularly common in Ælheim (though I have no issue with you using one since if she specifically requested it from a knowledgeable...

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Fun fact: I used to walk toe to heel until my mid-teens, where I started having ankle issues that needed surgery to correct. If I was taught to walk properly (heel to toe), this wouldn't have happened, lmao. Nobody corrected me so I didn't realize it...

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Canonized } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Haha, a swordsman without her sword really do be feelin' naked and afraid. She'll get him next time! ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Reviewed/Canon } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Själ (Cælum)+9 XP Have you considered making Själ a personal mentor to teach her swordsmanship? You could use an SNPC, plus it might give her some additional direction in life. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Reviewed/Canon } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Själ (Cælum)+10 XP If Själ feels like she needs more limbs to properly wield her weaponry, I know somebody who can help, hehe. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Reviewed/Canon } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Själ (Cælum)+10 XP +Steel scythe +Steel plate armor Seems like Själ needs to do a lot more soul searching to find her place in the world. ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

꧁══════════• ༺༉ { Reviewed/Canon } ༉༻•══════════꧂ Velho+9 XP (930 WC) Lakali+10 XP (1,022 WC) As cute as Lakali was I do look forward to writing with Aster! & perhaps these two will interact again eventually with Lakali as an NPC... ꧁══════════• ༺༉ ❁ ❀ ❁ ༉༻•══════════꧂

Summer 04 year 124 of the third age Själ’s confidence in herself wasn’t entirely misplaced; the Æld’Norai were adept at picking who was worth taking under their wing– their eyes usually fell upon those with magical talents. Any with a spark of it were carefully watched, and those who were...

spring 50 year 124 of the third age Abraia’s knocking likely yielded no answer because the inhabitants of the nearby buildings were in such a state of panic that they simply couldn’t be sure whether or not opening the door would spell their doom. Which, in all reality, was fair– they knew not...

Summer 04 year 124 of the third age With Själ's acquiescence to follow, the stranger turned, her leafy cloak sweeping behind her. She took a few steps, and if she heard that the other was keeping pace, she would continue forth. “A fair question, but I cannot say. They might be able to spare...

Summer 04 year 124 of the third age The stranger had expected curiosity– rather, it would have been odd to her if Själ had asked nothing at all. “I am in league with the Æld’Norai, yes,” the woman clarified with a soft smile. “I am a messenger of a sort.” “These…anomalous events…aren’t...

spring 50 year 124 of the third age The icicle Æhti had thrown pierced the creature in the shoulder, causing it to roar in fury– but this did not appear to slow it down at all. Trying to suppress his rising panic, “I-...I’ve never seen anything like this before!” Faintly, his voice wavered...

Summer 04 year 124 of the third age The stranger’s features were largely obscured by her cloak, but Sjal would be able to make out her pale, yellow skin, dark, almost black-emerald lips, and angular, diamond shaped face. Her features were sharp and regal, like those commonly seen on elves or...

Summer 04 year 124 of the third age During one of the first of what will become Summer’s many storms, a figure approached Paradise amidst the downpour. Paradise’s location created a rather unique spectacle, too, as the heat and flames of Veiðrbrand did nothing to stop the weather above– what...
