Aleran Cerusil busied himself within his forge, crafting various weapons and sets of armor for his people.

Yelena would slowly browse the missive, a smile forming to grace her features. "Y can hardly wait to see Adria's glory once more."

The Joining of Legacies Published by the Cerusil and Py’lrie Councils Through passing time, two young souls filled with love and pure adoration have stayed at each other's side for seven longing years. Together as one, have they traversed through the bountiful journey of cherishing one another through the most blessed of days, and protecting and nurturing the other in the most difficult of times. Following the same path many of their elders had engrained, it is a great pleasure to formally announce the upcoming nuptials of Lady Nefeli Py’lrie and Lord Aleran Cerusil. ITINERARY The Celestial Union The evening will begin with a grand ceremony, as a vast array of specially curated and aged wines, among other beverages are served to those who witness to enjoy both the bride and groom joining together in the eyes of the law within the Principality of Celia’nor. The Coastal Vows As the vows between the soon-to-be wed are exchanged, both the bride and the groom of each respective Talonnii will overlook a body of water. It is a Py’lrie ancestral tradition of one’s matrimony to be facing the sea or some substituting form of water, as thus stems from ancestral history of those who embarked to explore the grand sea with their deemed soulmate. The ceremony will be held at Celia’nors secluded grove on the 17th of the Sun’s Smile. A Peculiar Pledge The bride and groom will each crush a carved skull specially prepared for the occasion, a tradition rooted deep within the Cerusil’s history but has not been practiced since before Illarion Ibarellian’s rule. The belief behind this ritual is that both souls will break past the chains of the flesh and body, allowing them to find each other and for their love to persist evermore should they be felled in battle. Lofted Banquet Beginnings As the skulls are effectively smashed by the bride and groom, another of the Cerusil traditions will begin immediately after. The extended talonnii of the now wedded couple will move forth, hoisting the pair up into the sky before walking them towards the banquet area. Once reached, a grand night full of music, dancing, and food will conclude the occasion. At that time, guests are welcome to offer any gifts to the couple they may have, but such is not a requirement.

The Elegy of Sylviria Cerusil “She enamored all who saw her, encouraged all she spoke to, and had one hell of a right hook..” ✵ Published the 15th of the Deep Cold, 162 Second Age. [!] A somber tune would begin to play. [!] “In the twilight realm of Celia'nor fair, A tale of sorrow we now declare. Sylviria Cerusil, a mage of grace, In the 'aherals embrace, her presence we trace. Born of Senna's love and Numerian's pride, The youngest, the brightest, a radiant guide. Her beauty adorned with an ethereal sheen, A vision of enchantment, a living dream. Charm woven in every spell she cast, In the moonlit glades, her memories vast. Aspiring mage, her dreams untold, Within her heart, a story yet to unfold. A daughter cherished, a sister so dear, In the woven tapestry, a star shining clear. A llir to all, her laughter a song, A melody to the lands, where she belonged. Fiercely protective of all she cherished, In her presence, their fear would perish. No enchantment could shield her from fate, At twenty-two, she faced a cruel spate. Murdered, the flame of her life extinguished, In the shadowed halls, the answers distinguished. A mourning moon weeps her silver tears, As Celia'nor grieves for the Cerusil held dear. Yet, let not darkness shroud her light, In memories, she remains, a beacon bright. A legacy of love, in hearts she'll stay, A guardian spirit, guiding the way. The stars above now cradle her soul, In the cosmic dance, she finds her role. Sylviria Cerusil, gone too soon, In the 'aheral hearts, an eternal tune.” ✵ Sylviria, more commonly known as Sylvia, Cerusil’s wake shall be held upon the 20th of Snow's Maiden, 164 of the Second Age.

An Elegy of Sylva Cerusil “She died as she lived, a smile upon her face…” ✵ Published the 14th of the Deep Cold, 157 Second Age. “In the moonlit realm of Celia'nor fair, Where silver leaves whisper tales in the air, There lived an ‘aheral woman of grace, Sylva Cerusil, with an enchanting trace. A noble mistress with a heart so divine, The Drunken Sailor Tavern, her sacred shrine. Amidst the laughter, the music, the cheer, Sylva's presence made every soul draw near. Her eyes, pools of sunlight, wisdom untold, In the love of alchemy, her heart's secrets unfold. Master of potions, a sorceress of the brew, She wove magic in each flask, in every hue. Drunken chicken fights, her whimsical delight, A carnival of feathers in the tavern's soft light. Laughter echoed in the halls she adorned, A symphony of joy, where memories were born. A noblewoman by birth, yet humility she wore, Kindness in abundance, compassion at her core. Through the realms of Celia'nor, her name a song, Sylva Cerusil, where harmony belonged. In the tender embrace of love's gentle dance, She found her soulmate, a loving romance. A fiancee's promise, a future so bright, Their love a beacon in the elven night. But fate, cruel fate, struck with a venomous hand, A tragedy that shook the enchanted land. Her life's flame extinguished, a radiant star fell, As Sylva's body, wounded, before the gates they quell. Oh, the sorrow that draped Celia'nor's bowers, As tears of the moon wept upon night's hours. In the silence of grief, the stars dimmed their light, For the loss of Sylva, in the mali night. Yet, her spirit lingers in the tavern's soft glow, In the laughter, the memories, the ebb and the flow. An ‘aheral woman, forever in lore, Sylva Cerusil, whom we mourn evermore. Raise a toast to her memory, in the Drunken Sailor's hall, Let the echoes of her love in every heart install. In the tapestry of time, her legacy we'll weave, Sylva Cerusil, in our hearts, you'll forever live.” ✵ Sylva Cerusil’s wake shall be held upon the 18th of Sun's Smile, 158 of the Second Age.
