Flagship Villa NOT A HOTEL Kitakaruizawa Irori,

[bi-hop]

Went to bed thinking about the hilarity of that one bit in Divine Mysteries where the in-canon author, Yivali, starts speculating hard if Abadar and Asmodeus (or Abadar and Irori) (but NOT Abadar/Asmodeus/Irori in a triad) are romantically involved against her mentor’s best wishes and then had a dream where I was in Cheliax and forced to attend a festival commemorating the ‘unholy union’ of Abadar and Asmodeus, as revealed to the people by the clergy of both churches.

Because apparently they got married or something.

Recently our friends over at Paizo sent us a little sneak peek of their upcoming "Pathfinder 2e Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide" and we made a video!

We're going to quickly go over some of the deities and religions here in the upcoming book.

New Year, New Deity, Day 10: Cleric of Irori

We've hit the halfway point of the cleric builds, so it's only fitting that the cleric of Irori stands in the balance. Check out this build that the Master of Masters would approve of:

The cleric of Irori seeks peak perfection, both mentally and physically. They have a base speed of 40ft, powerful fists with Gorilla Stance, can augment their offence with harm once they get into the thick of things, and are absolute monsters at tripping, grappling and disarming, especially with Athletic Rush. While a little more fragile than some of the other frontline clerics we've seen so far, they're still a powerful skirmishing debuffer.

Sunken Hearth at Teahouse (Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan)

The Amazake-chaya Teahouse has retained its charm dating back to the early 1600s. The entrance still has the hard earthen floor where wooden tables and chairs are made available for guests.

Farther back are the more traditional woven straw tatami mats where guests sit on the mats and enjoy their drinks and food on knee-high tables.

The centerpiece of the interior is the irori (open sunken hearth), which has a unique figure-8 shape (typical irori are square or rectangular) surrounded by beautiful hardwood flooring.

In this shot, you can also see the jizaikagi—a contraption that includes a pothook attached to a rope that runs through a bamboo pole and extends up to the ceiling timber directly over the irori. The height of the pothook can be changed to adjust the temperature of the food or liquid in the pot.

Irori were common in the main living room of traditional Japanese homes where wood, charcoal, or even coal was burned. Upper-class homes would have had an additional irori in the tea ceremony room where smokeless charcoal was used.

Irori also provided homes with some lighting at night, heat for the main room, and could be used to dry wet laundry, cook food, boil water, and to dry fish and fruit.

Smoke from the irori, specifically the tar in the smoke, was also an essential component for preserving the structural integrity of thatched-roof buildings. While the heat from the irori drew moisture from the building’s timbers and thatched roof to prevent rot and mold, the tar from the smoke would coat and permeate the wooden beams and underside of the thatched roof helping to further prevent mold and rot, and was especially effective at repelling pests, and added an extra layer of waterproofing against rain and snow.

(Someone else had pointed this out on Twitter before me, but I can't find it any more)

Basically in Pokémon legends Arcus; as new houses get built in Jubilife village you get some with irori hearths with the traditional fish motif. And these are made to look like Magikarp (see above left). But there is one that looks different. It could very easily be a stylized Magikarp as it had the same tail shape and number of fins, but it lacks the distinctive whiskers (and bulging dead eyes).

Nintendo are usually very deliberate with their designs like this; so I'm genuinely wondering if this is a hint to a new fish Pokémon or new form for Magikarp in the future Violet and Scarlet games? There are a lot of people who turn up at the village from different regions, so it's possible they brought Pokémon designs with them from their local areas.

Naturally, take this with a grain of salt, it could be just an alternate Magikarp design. But I felt like drawing attention to it, as it intrigued me.
