Who the hell are the last three.

🧣 : Is there a fashion style you think your character would be good in, but they'd never wear it IC? For Haes, Eleus and Zay!

Haes would be adorable in sweaters, but he has yet to be convinced that something so informal looks good on him.

Eleus should wear a suit once in a while. He dresses rather slutty most of the time and would really clean up nicely.

Zay would look stunning in a good punk get-up. He’s too clean-cut for it, but he’d look great in more black, some safety pins, and big stompy boots.

Does your character get restless when things are too quiet or do they favour solitude and silence? Why? For Eleus

Eleus is very fond of solitude and silence. It’s when he does his best work as a perfumer. He’s also just very used to being alone and it still startles him a little sometimes when he realizes that Sivath is in the room with him and it’s been quiet for a time. He finds that the quiet helps him focus.

To Eleos

I pray to Eleos, sweet spirit of mercy, daughter of Nyx who rules the star-strewn night and Erebos, great one whose gift it is to wrap us in the comfort of the dark. Eleos, so long ago your altar stood in Athens' marketplace, amid the temples and assemblies, where all could see your name, recall your goodness and your might. Eleos, compassionate goddess, friend of the needy and the poor, the supplicant and the refugee; Eleos, protector of the wretched, provider of sanctuary, I pray to you.

random thoughts

As part of my research into Stratonikeia, I’ve been reading about Panamara.  It makes me want to come up with a way to implement the Panamareia and the Heraia. Nothing I’ve read says when these festivals were held, only that they alternated years.  And that the Panamareia was men-only and the Heraia was women-only. Makes it hard for a woman who is practicing by herself to implement. lol -  Traditional offerings for the festival are olive oil and wine.  At the Heraia participants received gifts of oil, wine and money. Hard to give myself such stuff.

In other thoughts, I’m considering working on an ‘Obscure and Forgotten Greek God of the Month’ project. Inspired by a friend who introduced me to Eleus, Goddess of Mercy.
