Finally finished a minor Reference Sheet for these two <3 I needed one with all the short-stories, ideas, and art I've been doing with @sarndipityart .

The Zin-Ashari clothing was inspired both by in-game Kaldorei and ancient Greek garments, just based on how they perceived Zin-Ashari in some cinematics and artwork, it looks like the inspiration is of that era, or ancient Asian architect as well.

They are very much so my 'Ody/pen' ship I'd say, loving each other apart continents for thousands of years and finally get reunited in the end.

To go into some lore for these two; they were married maybe a few months before the Sundering took place, and were both middle-class in regards to hierarchy in Zin-Ashari times. Nassiandor was going to school, learning Mage-Things and Viannorie was a herbalist that worked in the Royal Gardens. They most likely met, due to his father being an architect in the City, and when they joined as mates they made matching pendants of the moon.

Pregnant, Vianne had moved outside the City to her family in Hyjal for support when the Rebellion began, and thus the Sundering as well. She never found Nassiandor, and believed him dead - the stress of such a belief unfortunately swiftly ended the life she was carrying.

Years later under the Tutelage of Druidism, she was given the chance to train two young Kaldorei [Alyraei and Elyssaelora] who's Highborne parents had abandoned them. They were highly capable of Arcane magic which was forbidden now by their people; but Vianne could only see Nassiandor in their similar palettes and eyes, adopting them swiftly without question as she aided them to understand druidism; and in secret, the Arcane that had meant the world to her late husband.

With her children growing to be exceptional Balance-Druids, Vianne's life seemed fulfilled in most ways, but she still missed her counterpart, even all of these years later. She'd always waited for some sign that he was alive, but one never came -- until Bel'Ameth. Settling down with the rest of their people, Viannorie was introduced to some of the previously outcasted Demon Hunters, Fallen Dark Rangers, and other unwanted Kaldorei.

And there he was, different, but the same. I'm still fleshing it all out, but the Night Elves have so much lore to go through and try to timeline it, yeesh.

Obscure Reagents: Iris Lake & the Lunar Lachryma

Mundane Uses: Emotional catharsis | Mental clarity

Magickal Uses: Corruptive purging | Banishing

A sister to the many holy lakes of Ashenvale Forest, Iris of the northwest is yet another where the realms of earth and spirit converge. This islet long served as a repose for the shed tearstones of Elune, often manifesting on nights of especially heavy rain and unusually radiant moonlight. These lunar lachryma are powerful sources of clarification; both on the mind, and against profane forces.

Many believe that they fall when the Goddess Herself cries, though the reasons are widely contended. Some purport that the stones appear after the spread of corruption in the natural world, or perhaps from Elune taking the grief and burdens of Her devotees upon Herself. Lunar historians note from records that some tearstones of yore have curiously fallen on ill-fated anniversaries of past events, such as the coronation date of Queen Azshara, the eve of the Sundering, the creation of the Scythe of Elune, and so on; though no one is certain if this is mere coincidence or not.

Philosophers maintain, however, that Elune’s tears are poignant reminders on the purifying nature of weeping, and the healing which can arise from relinquishing one’s sorrows. These ideas are further solidified by the demonstrated properties of the lunar lachryma. In a mundane sense, their uses are primarily two-fold: emotional catharsis, and mental clarity. For example, one might seek a tearstone for temporary and gradual reprieve when emotional wounds run exceptionally deep, or completely consume one’s thoughts. The same could be said for severe mental and physical stressors; such as delirium from illness, Her tears reportedly washing away such ailments with an ephemeral calm. Magickally, the tears are particularly robust in the purging of corruption, as well as the banishment of extraplanar beings back to their dimensions of origin. Historically, Iris Lake and the lachryma became a pivotal location for rousing those trapped in their slumber across Ashenvale and Darkshore during the War Against the Nightmare.

There are a multitude of uses for the tearstones. The most common is to boil them for someone under corruptive magick in a stew-like concoction, the broth to be later imbibed by the afflicted. Those of the Elunian faith might affix one of the lachryma to glyph-drawing implements such as blessed chalk holders, the end of prayer beads, atop phials of moonwater, or into the covers of lunar librams. Naturalists specialized in the reclamation of corrupted earth may secure a tearstone to the base of their staves or armaments; or otherwise use them as a spell reagent in the pursuit of regrowth.
