Is this thing on? Is it working? My first note of the night... if Camellia is wrong about the effectiveness of this thing, she’ll be cleaning my daughter’s fur sheds until we figure out something better.
Onto important matters.
With our duty getting more difficult by the day, it is imperative that we strengthen our connection with Beastclan trade lines, especially those of Longneck that roam our mountains. With their diligent help, we hope to continue finding and sealing strong sources of Shade in Sornieth.
Our mages, (though I loathe to call them that, they who don’t even have proper names), have given us access to a magical boon I can only describe as form-changing. It allows us to take the shape of a Beastclan, to the approximate size and physique. We still tend to be more furry and bear larger horns than usual, but it greatly assists in more effective communication when we are so large and they so small. However, we are not able to choose which Beastclan- the spell assigns one to us, though i do not know exactly how it decides.
I and my daughter, Toibomme, take the form of Longneck, much like the nearby tribes. So does Gingerdoodle, though her mate Perrebaca takes that of a centaur. (They also roam the mountains, though less frequently.)
Eurridice take the form of a fawn, lithe and quick. His mate, Glaccion, is (surprisingly) a Maren, which may be useful if we ever need to commune with the saltwater Maren tribes (though as for now, we wish to keep our efforts on land until we are forced in the deep).
Cameilla herself is that of a Talonok. Tabkkleta, who I am surprised chose to participate, is a Mith of the varient found in Light territory. However, our mages- Eirys and Binxe- themselves take form of two Kitsune.
Somehow, that concerns me, but I cannot figure out why. I’m sure I will figure it out.
Images will accompany this as soon as we figure out how to attach them. They will likely not be added by me.
