Welcome back to "Things Aurora drew ages ago and is finally posting!"

This was before I figured out what height I wanted Hydan to be at. He's now shorter then Aym is. But this is the outfits Hollows wear when they go out into the Lands of the Old Faith. What are they pissed at? Don't know. Maybe Narinder is kissing Lambert. XD

ZEKE CALOGERO MY SHAYLA 😭❤️

This Elvenking fact has not left my mind since I first read about it.

I just can't get over the fact that Aydan didn't fly her ass to Slovenia to find her son when he called. Its not even that she didn't tell his fiance for me - but just as a concerned mother, your son was literally in a serious accident, is missing memories, and you didn't go to him regardless? Like okay, respect part of his wishes and let him hide for a bit, but you could've been the one next to him helping him piece things together until he was ready! The insanity.

Well I disagree that it’s okay in any scenario that Aydan would hide that info from his fiancé. There is absolutely nothing that will ever make that okay for me. It’s impossible to justify, they were moments away from being legally bound! And Aydan knows that before amnesia, it would be Eda that Serkan wants most of all by his side in a situation like that. He’s been in a catastrophic accident and has brain damage. For his own good, he doesn’t get to call the shots like that. (or his manipulator doesn’t get to call the shots like that).

However, I agree it’s ridiculous that Aydan didn’t drop everything and fly to him regardless. What a disservice they did to the character of Aydan and her development when they decided to destroy her character in order to absolve Selin of kidnapping Serkan, but still getting to brainwash and manipulate him unfettered. 

But to me it’s 100% character assassination, because I believe Aydan would have not only been on the next plane out, she would have brought Eda and Seyfi with her! No question. Honestly, if your plot isn’t going to work without having your characters do completely asinine, unbelievable, out-of-character things like this... rethink your plot. 

[moon-elves-cult]

In Melven society there are not figures of power, but items of power, and whoever is currently in possession of the item is responsible for the tasks and jobs that come with the item. Each item relates to an unmapped star and the properties of that star’s quintessence.

Candesian Scepter

Owned by: the Admissionary

Currently: Aydan [they/them]

Responsible for the integration of new Melves to society and ensuring the transition is as seamless as possible. The Scepter is used to channel a small amount of direct Candesia quintessence into the jewelry of the new melf to transform it into the melven version of a registry pendant--commonly referred to as an ident--as the presence of the quintessence can be tracked. When the new melf wears the ident, the quintessence will slowly seep under their skin throughout the next few months in order to better help the body process the moonlight they are now being exposed to.

Description: A roughly carved black staff. The top has a large silver crescent moon attached to the staff with layers looking similar to scales. In the center of the crescent is a small oval shaped crystal, lilac in color. It is suspended in place by multiple small strings attached to the crystal and wrapping around the crescent evenly in each direction. At the base of the staff is a spherical crystal of the same color, and below that is a small metal adornment to prevent the base crystal from scratching the ground.

Elementinal Falchion

Owned by: the Tactician

Currently: Unknown

Responsible for the physical protection of all melves, whether that is through direct combat or maintaining the atmospheric bubbles around the cities. The falchion is used to direct quintessence from Elementine and infuse it with the force fields around the cities for extra protection. The Tactician is always a psionipath, as they work with force fields. In the case that the melves had to engage in physical combat, the Tactician would lead in battle strategy and ensure order was maintained and victory achieved. The falchion is the deadliest weapon on the moon, as it is charged by Elementine, the most unstable of the stars. Most would think this would make it an untrustworthy source of protection, especially in regards to the force fields, but in reality the pure power can be controlled.

Description: A wide, flat, single-edged blade similar in design to a machete.The blade itself is pale grey with marbled threads of white spread throughout. A raw crimson crystal is embedded in the metal just above the hilt. The hilt is braided and ends with a small spider web of red

Phosforien Stellarscopes

Owned by: The Physicians Center

The Physicians Center is the healing center and research laboratory in the capital of the moon, responsible for developing treatments for most ailments. The majority of their work involves the quintessence of Phosforien, which is known to work well with DNA. It is also where patients who require longer treatments are transferred to ensure they are closer to their caretakers and remedies. It was found that the most efficient way to channel this quintessence was through the traditional style, stellarscopes. There are around three dozen designed specifically to absorb and bottle the quintessence from Phosforien so it can be used in elixirs and other treatments.

Description: Similar in physical appearance to a golden engraved spyglass, though the lenses are a crystal milky grey. Two dozen are permanently set up on stands in the centers observatory, a constant feed running to keep bottling quintessence without assistance. If more is even needed for any reason, there are more in storage that can be brought out.

Marqueseire Forge

Owned by: the Mechanic Guild

Unlike the others, this is a place located in the farther reaches of Melven society. The forge is where the blacksmiths in the guild combine the quintessence from Marqueseire into the basic materials used in building and technology. This mainly includes basic metals and crystals, breaking down their basic cellular structure and making it more effective based on what it’s needed for.

Description: The majority of this building is underground in the base of a crater, the building made of a matte golden-brown color. The interior is kept matte to prevent the intense light of the forge from reflecting off every available surface. The actual forge takes up an entire wall, with various openings of different sizes for various sized projects. While it cannot be seen from inside, a tunnel dug straight down from the top of the forge to the surface is lined with dark crystal, allowing the quintessence from marqueseire to reflect into the flames and be worked into the various materials.

Lucillantien Cryoglass

Owned by: the Lych

Currently: Unknown

The cryoglass is used during melven plantings, which are always officiated by the Lych. As on Earth, death is a rare occurrence, but in the event someone does die, their idents (if it can be recovered) will be buried in the ground along with a small seed. Idents have a symbiotic relationship with the wearer, and as the quintessence placed in the ident by the Candesian Scepter assimilates into their body, the ident becomes in tune to their minds frequency. When the seed and ident are buried the cryoglass is used to direct a beam of Lucillant’s light onto the ground where they were buried. After a few moments, the seed sprouts, and a curling vine emerges. Instead of being modeled after a melf’s physical and biological appearance, the ident and lucillant quintessence combine to preserve the mental essence of the melf. The vine may be sharp and jagged due to an intense personality, or perhaps when the wind blows a quiet melody may be heard as the leaves rustle. No vine is ever the same, and it is referred to as a cyr (pronounced kai-err). Cyrs are planted in the home of the lost melf, to ensure they aren’t kept apart from the society, sequestered away in a corner of the world no one ever sees. Melves value community, so they keep the memories and cyrs close.

Description: The cryoglass is circular, about the size circle a person could make with their hands, and is strung on a delicate white chain worn around the Lych’s neck. Various colored crystals cut into different facets for a stained-glass-like effect on the inside, the pattern might be described as similar to a dreamcatcher. The center of the cryoglass is rose gold and is the focal point of the quintessence when it’s being cast on the ground.
