[mireaerim]

you're thinking that i hate you now, cause you still don't know what i never said / i would stay forever if you say 'don't go' / so many things that i wish you knew / i'd tell you i miss you but i don't know how / i wish i could run to you / every time i don't, i almost do / i don't wanna miss you like this / nothing we say is gonna save us from the fallout

[mireaerim]

though i know my heart would break, i'd tell them "put me back in it"

[mireaerim]

you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever

tenertia ; the city of vines

tenertia is the mirea in mireaerim. it is a realm of darkness. there is no sunlight, the only source of light is the glowing fauna and flora and the charmed lanterns in the city. the lanterns are made with leaves from the forest and they produce artificial heat and light. the forest is very dangerous because it is cold, dark, and mischevious. the city of tenertia is surround by a wall of vines that reach throughout the streets and cover buildings. the vines protect everyone inside the city from the forest, and the creatures and plants in the forest from the lights in the city. without a source of immortality, the tenertians are very familiar with Death. they honor and celebrate it, and much of their magic involves interacting with spirits and necromantic divination. Preserving life is of course important, but allowing Death its course is more so. When wounds or illness are severe enough, the "wind cools" and priorities will shift to comfort of the living body and the soul. while tenertia is not governed by any one group or person, there are known powerful mages who can be called upon is unrest occurs or there is a problem with the city's charms. just as lumrish people do not understand the importance of death in tenertia, tenertians scorn the "obsession" with life and health in lumris.

lumris ; the city of glass

lumris is the aerim in mireaerim. it is a realm of light. the sun shines always, so the city is made of enchanted glass. instead of reflecting light and burning like regular prisms, the glass of lumris traps the excess heat, and absorbs the light at nighttime. there is a giant glass dome over the main part of the kingdom that is enchanted with protections from the heat and from the weather. every window is made with stained glass, the pictures with sigils and other magics. small prisms are hung above doorways as a symbol of truth, and glass statues of old leaders are erect in city squares. science is very important in lumris. the city council is run by academics and the magic used in lumris is scientific; alchemy, sigils, potions. the light of the sun is what creates immortality, so lumrish people are unfamiliar with and frown upon the death magic of tenertia, referring to it as "dark" and "unnatural." this of course is not true, and if lumrish people and tenertians interacted with each other, they would quickly learn so.
