Elia Eryka personally dabs up a random @EmenziStafyr for Thondorus sr.

The Sleepy Goat 1871-1938 ||424-491 ______________________________________________ The final breath of Elia Eryka was short, soft, and inevitable. For years the prolonged suffering of her heart had proven far too strenuous in this very moment, as the elder Scyfling remained bundled in thick hides and warm quilts, comforted by the multitude of goats at her flank- a spot her now late husband once occupied. Copper curls faded gray embraced her gaunt features, as they grew cold and stiff in the next stage of death, for she would not be discovered until hours later in the peak of sunlight as her daughter would aim to fetch her; Henrietta would be the one to discover the husk of that once Baroness. Normality consumed the final hours of that Scyling's life, as she marched around the estate. In the morning she woke to a traditional breakfast of her ancestors; crispy bread, cold meats, cheese you could smear, cucumbers, and a refreshing glass of goat milk. Once she had ordered the governors of what her grandchildren - born from Edmund - would learn. She wrote letters to her children far away; Edwyn, Konrad, and Kamilla. She would visit Ravenna later with sweets to spoil her beloved grandsons, Alfred and Konrad. Thondorus and Henrietta, she would convene throughout the day with meticulous planning, for future aspirations of House Stafyr. After indulging in her duties within the Courts alongside her adopted daughter Amaya, she would pick up a crate of imported gemstones with the three royal youth in tow - for their curiosity was unquenchable, and her love for them as pseudo-grandmother was everlasting. She did not have brunch today with Viorica, Anabel, Lorence, and Dominic. So rather she took the chance to visit the Colborn estate to visit her kin; pestering her older sister, irking Carolus, braiding the hair of Marija, and taking a moment to cherish the air around sacred Colborn relics in prayer. As the sun began to set, and the elder had made her way settled at home - she felt content. A final dinner of roast, bread, and mixed vegetables accompanied the quality time she had with a small part of her family. Katrin focused on her studies, Rhosyn said grace, Feodor rambled on swords while Hieromar read plays by the late Dame Stryne, Ivonne begged to aid her grandmother with jewelry, and the babe Rosemarie slept peacefully. A joyous stride was felt in her gait as the Scyfling thought of her blessings, family, and those who she shared her life with. As she slowly drifted into sleep.. her heart throbbed with immense pain, and she took her final short, soft, and inevitable breath. All that had been promised to her in regard to death had been true. Tender limbs of warmth consumed the soul of that aged woman as their gentle touch soothed whatever stray feelings of anguish reached her in the final moments of her humanity, cradling her frail body with bliss. With profound melodies of Scyfling origins erupting from the void of silence she indulged in the memories of her lifetime- smiling with content. As she reached the seven skies, she was welcomed by those who too, were kissed by death. __________________________________________________ MY FINAL WILL Written by Lady Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr -- Although I hold the hyphenated name of both Stafyr and Colborn, I shall always follow the motto of my birth house, Family through Fire. I entered this world as a Colborn, and I shall enter the seven skies one. I request a proper Scyfling burial, where my ashes shall be held by my children for a year, before returning to House Colborn so I may rest with my kin. -- Although I shall return to House Colborn, I will give unto Stafyr a part of me- So I may partly rest with my children and husband. My hair will be braided, and shaved from my scalp prior to my burial. I request my locks be sealed in a small vase for House Stafyr to place within their crypts. -- My goats cannot live without me, and I cannot live without my goats. Should any of my remaining goats live on- I request for them to be slaughtered and burned alongside me. The hide of my biggest and oldest goat, Andrew, shall be separated from his hide prior to burning. It is my wish that the upcoming Curator of Crown Jewels who shall replace me use it to make a lavish cloak with it, decorating its collar with a multitude of gemstones. My only specific wish for a gemstone is that of green jade. MY FINAL LETTERS: Edmund Edwyn Konrad Thondorus Ravenna Henrietta Kamilla Amaya Mari Marija Aaren My Grandchildren My Siblings ____________________________________________ OOC: I do not know what to say besides thank you tbh. I loved Elia, I loved everything I did as her, and feel I’ve completed her as a character in a way I am absolutely content with. I’ll likely be gone for a while, but when I return… I’m ready for the next adventure!

Elia finds it deep in her withering soul to throttle Anabel by the neck a final time. Ve Eryka Jewlz was only jewelry she specifically made, not the entire collection.

Ember Collection Penned by Lady Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr 6th of Julia ag Piov 491 Introduction As I aged within my younger years, I grew alongside my multitude of cousins and siblings. One of whom was Ada Colborn, a cousin of mine who was moreso like a sister. Little did we both know, her daughter- our daughter, would blossom into a young Lady of unfathomable perseverance and notability. When her mother of blood had passed, I saw her spirit taint itself with hatred for life, much like Ada when our beloved Godric had passed. However, with the might of her family and Patron Ancestors she had turned that venomous feeling of loathing into fierce passion and ambition. It is with that change of character, and growth, I devote this collection to Amaya of Venzia and her Ember Courts. I love you, my daughter. _____________________________________________________ Tiara of Venzia: This marvelous tiara was a custom piece made by Lady Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr, Baroness of Thurant and Curator of Crown Jewels. Historically known for its mixture of scyfling and raevir influence, the headpiece is said to bring luck to its wearer. The regalia itself was made solely for the creators adoptive daughter; Amaya of Venzia. A carved band of pure gold ran along the bottom of the base itself, fifty miniscule pearls bordered the surface, with a fashioned brace of braided gold bordering the ivory spheres. Atop that gemstones of varying cuts lined the tiara in 1 carat cuts, making up a multitude of different faux-roses. The primary crystals used were that of rubies, fire opal, and red diamonds. Nearer the center of the circlet amber, peach moonstone, and garnet made up intricate designs that led to a singular larger rose of 3 carat Aeldinic rubies. What made for an even devastating alluring flair was the many creamy white albino-raven feathers of shorter length that lined the backside of the tiara, allowing them to poke upwards sporadically in a dashing display. The Amayan Bridal Crown: This crown was inspired by the traditional scyfling bridal crown donned by young women on their days of matrimony. High peaks of golden spirals were bound by more intricate design around the whole rotation of the regalia, symbolizing the beginning of new life and family under the beautiful union of wedlock. No gemstones were pivoted in the upper-parts of the regalia but rather the band which rested against the scalp itself; a variant of rubies, garnet, crimson spinel, and scarlet topaz lined the border; all in various cuts and sizes ranging from 1-carat to 6-carat, allowing for an onslaught of red to embrace the romantic piece. Typically, to further address the cultural importance of this crown, it is accompanied with an authentic and real flower crown to compliment the historical roots of its relevance. This one was specifically created for Amaya of Venzia, as she donned it paired with a flower crown made up of a multitude of roses from her familial gardens. Ve Ruby Droplets: Brought immediately to the attention of the wearer for this marvelous regalia was a disgusting glimpse of a stark scarlet hue. These earrings were made up of two simple gemstones; a ruby and a citrine. Made as posts, the earrings of pure gold held a small princess-styled cut citrine of a honey-colored tint against the earlobe, surrounded by a thin border of aureate material meanwhile strung from it in a dangle was a marvelous 5 carat ruby, it carved and polish in a teardrop contour. In the glare of light, the differing hues of red were evident, leaving for a beautiful sheen and alluring mystique in the admiration of the uncannily ethereal gemstone. Ve Elia Carnelian: These simple earrings were crafted from delicate ferrum wire, fastened to one's earlobe via sturdy metallic prong faceted by a small reddish-copper carnelian gemstone in a princess-style cut. Strung lowly from the crimson-tinted crystal was a thin chain of the same metallic nature to that of the wiring, connecting a larger carnelian polished to a vibrant shine which was meticulously carved in a pear or teardrop contour. This special set of earrings belonged to the Curator of Crown Jewels, Lady Elia Eryka - specifically being passed down to Amaya of Venzia with instructions for her firstborn daughter, the Curator’s adoptive granddaughter, to don for her coming of age ceremony. Nape of Embers: Made from specifically twenty circulate plates of white gold, two different crystals made up the jewelry, interchanging throughout the alluring piece. The two gemstones were both of great rarity within the Haense Crown Jewels, only being introduced under Amaya of Venzia’s reign; bumblebee jasper and the Koenas’ personal favorite, fire opal. The crystals were all carved to be cushion-cuts, hugged by flowering motifs to allow all the splendor to be focused onto the gemstones themselves, allowing them to easily become the centerpiece of any attire of the evening. Le Collier Rose: This given piece was acknowledged for its stunning beauty, consisting of a variety of five-petaled moonstone flowers set by black titanium prongs, the center of each contoured flowers being a delicate white pearl from the lake Voron found between the households Colborn and Baruch upon the late lands of Arcas. Fully binding the necklace itself was a trio of densely woven twine coated in thick wax harvested from Balianite bees. Hiding the twine from sight however with a variety of rare pink pearls chiseled through, allowing them to be strung into three alluring rows, emphasizing both the luxury and expense of this charming regalia. Faces of Colborn: Typically worn during more grandeur events, this specific regalia was made with Amaya of Venzia in mind, forged to reflect her historical roots with a more direct approach. Made up of five different pendants, the bracelet held onto the ivory facades of Colborn’s personal to the heart of the intended wearer. On the leftmost side two figures were seen carved boldly into the chalky material; Jesper Colborn the Patron Ancestor and Katherine Vanir-Colborn the Patron Ancestor. On the rightmost side was; Isabel Barbanov-Colborn the Patron Ancestor and Saint Carr of Carenthall. However the center pendant was of the most relevance, being Dame Ada Colborn, the first Dame of the Colborn family and mother of Amaya. Bordering each pendant was silver, twenty snakeskin agate in zicron-cuts, set neatly in place. However, the center facade of Dame Ada was specifically bordered by thirty smaller zircon-cut fire opals. The five primary components made up the entire rotation of the wrist, bound by simple silver chainlets. The Honey Embrace: A unique choker meant to suit attires for more casual evenings, primarily made up of thick hide found from Aeldinic goats, used for its softer texture and least injury against the skin - as it was meant to be donned tautly at the nape. The leather itself was of a muddy-copper coloring, suiting the crystal it was accompanied with beautifully. Found in the center of the choker was a brooch-like pendant carefully sewn to the tanned hide, embracing a piece of carved and polished honey calcite with aurum leaf-motifs acting as the border. This jewelry piece is often regarded for its ability to add flair while composing an air of simplicity. The Resting Raven: This hairpiece was a base of titanium and shaped as a simple comb, the spine itself making up the primary focus of the regalia. A detailed raven with black enamel fluttered its wings skyward, each deep line in the shaping of the avian made to illustrate its beauty. The eye of the raven - as the face was a side view - was a deep and stunning red ruby, taken directly from the vault of the Household Colborn. It is rumored the gemstone originated from Loviska Colborn, and the jewelry piece itself is homage to the roots of Queen Amaya. The Wulfenite Brooch: A polished brooch forged from a slate of carved marble, consisting of primarily dark hues to contrast against the aureate wiring and molded gold. The metallic detailings are intricate and elaborate, embracing the oval shape of the sturdy base. Fixated in the center of the brooch was a rectangular-cut piece of Wulfenite, its intensely colored amber hue beautifully complimented the darker pigmentation of the marble. This regalia was specifically created for Amaya of Venzia as to compliment her plethora of stashes donned during her reign, suiting the starkness of her Ember Courts. Her Royal Majesty, AMAYA OF VENZIA, Queen-Consort of Hanseti and Ruska, Princess-Consort of Bihar, Dules, Lahy, Muldav, Solvesborg, Slesvik and Ulgaard, Duchess-Consort of Carnatia and Vanaheim, Margravine-Consort of Korstadt, Rothswald, and Vasiland, Countess-Consort of Alban, Alimar, Baranya, Graiswald, Karikhov, Karovia, Kaunas, Kavat, Kovachgrad, Kvasz, Markev, Nenzing, Torun, Toruv, Valdev, and Werdenburg, Viscountess-Consort of Varna, Baroness-Consort of Esenstadt, Kraken’s Watch, Kralta, Krepost, Lorentz, Rytsburg, Thurant, Venzia and Astfield, Lady of the Westfolk, et cetera. Lady Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr, Curator of Crown Jewels, Modir of Goats.

A wavering pain struck the heart of that aged scyfling, twisting her soul in a severe anguish she had never felt before. Elia Eryka broke down into loud sobs as she had outlived both daughter-in-law and grandson, guilt and devastation tightening the embrace about her feeble heart. She donned black miserably, ordering for Henrietta to prepare a proper burial. @Jonificus

Elia Eryka simply exclaims, “SLAYYYY!” Soon to be revealed to have been referring to a child's book with slaying a mighty dragon she was reading to one of her many grandkids.

Elia Eryka is not proud Alfred inherited her chronic smoking addiction.

Elia Eryka watched on with stern features as the grandchildren sired from her son Edmund ignorantly frolicked and whined as they were prepared to don black attire these upcoming months. Leopold, although youthful, comforted his weeping mother- of Amador blood. Katrin remained at her flank, bewildered and distraught. “Honor this woman in her death, Katrin. For she, like me, raised her household back into revival. She is of your blood, and you of hers. Feel pride in knowing this.” @___siren___

Wordlessly Elia Eryka fixated her features into stone, cradling her grandson Robert in one arm meanwhile the latter balanced her other grandson Alfred atop her lap. “That offspring was to be corrupted. GUD guided the hands of humanity to spare it from a life of sin and turmoil, saving House Amador. GUD bless Haense, GUD bless our faith, and death to all spawn of the seven voids.” @Fionn__TWG @Gandhi

Elia Eryka, the adoptive grandmother and great aunt of the child, gawked at that little Duke. Being at the bedside as he entered the world... She could think of one thing only: he had no charizzma.

Somewhere a sheltered woman gawked at the missive in horror, having discovered it thanks to a trusted courier. This was the first she heard of said arrangements, having never been approached for blessings or otherwise. In distraught the elderly woman removed herself from the paper physically, unforgiving in her silence.

Somewhere a still mourning woman tugged a wool cowl about her shoulders solemnly, drained of energy. She anticipated visiting her grandson again when she may.

What's your favorite food item What's your most notable memory of me that you recall Have I gotten better or more evil over the years Who would eat more chicken nuggets; you or shady Are you content w/ your lifestyle nowadays and your balance of lotc w it

Sawona is more op

Elia Eryka nods approvingly, making plans to visit the newfound mother and son at some point with copious amounts of goat milk to share.

Elia Eryka enjoys a nice goat milk margarita for her partial retirement.

“Please, I want for us to be close for Tuvmas baby. It’s coming near.” Elia Eryka prayed softly, cupping her hands together in hopes Adria would be down.

Somewhere a rather disgruntled woman graced her temple within her overwhelmed nature, however smiled upon knowing her sister finally got her time to shine. “Perhaps briefly now- she shall step out into public and shine.”

Lhoris really wants a pet unicorn.

Elia Eryka stands at the gates with a loaded crossbow, awaiting for the return of the Grand Lord just over yonder.

Lhoris smirks, acquiring the bounty!

Elia Eryka smiles happily upon hearing the birth of the two children, hurriedly preparing a multitude of gifts to shower the newborn babes with.

are you truly a team player? Was it really Australia and not South America?

Slowly that old woman brought trembling digits to her complexion, curving them inwards as she wept loudly, chest heaving. The sound of bleating goats mourned echoed from the confines of the neighboring room as the chorus of grief was heard to all of the Stafyr children and those outside of their abode upon the streets. With great sorrow that lonely Baroness would secure herself into the confines of her abode, becoming meek and silent in her composure. Some would say for the following days she’d refuse any offering of goat milk and any goat product… asking for only Hyspian tacos and cucumber water. The great falcon Thondor always guarding her door while she remained within. _________________________________ The scent of smoke and debris consumed the air as the remainder of that Orenian palace fell to its destruction, rotting paint reeking from every corner as the pair of young women rushed through the desolate space; one of flaxen-hair and blue eyes and the latter with a scalp full of copper curls and a sturdy steel stare. An eruption of giggles and cackling surrounded them as they soared through the remains with moments of brief hesitation, tearing open abandoned vanities and jewelry boxes as they raided the palatial remains for jewelry and luxurious regalia. “Henrietta, how devious would this look on me?” The scyfling-youth had queried, holding up an exquisite necklace donned with rubies and amethysts to her nape, lips curved upright into mischievous coyness. By time they had completed, they'd both had bags full of jewelry - going their separate ways. As that speedy Colborn stormed from the steps of the palace she collapsed with a rather nimble force at her front, eyes widening as she was saved by the clutch of her bodice. “Oh-- aorf!” The stunned noise sounded, before she was face to face with her ‘savior’; a young man who was her senior by a few years, head full of shaggy brown tresses, dressed for adventure and scholarly indentures, with large wide-framed glasses supported on his nose. After a considerable amount of staring and built-up flustering from both, suited with their nervous and anxious-riddled smiles that disguised Stafyr spoke. “Ah-.. R-.. Raul Freeman. S’All Good, Man.”

The Exchange of Loyalty 6th of Gronna Ag Droba, 482 ______________________________________________________________ During the final months of our beloved monarchs, Karl III and Amadea of Susa, we had sat down to discuss how to reward a few of the most impactful subjects of their reign. And, as a result, we came up with a tradition we had hoped to continue through the years following the rule of Georg I, as well as his son and so forth-on. And it is now that our beloved monarchs have ended their tenure as our beloved Koeng and Koenas, that we continue a tradition of loyal exchange, offering a small regalia of thanks to those who stood out in their loyalty and merit. Thus, resulting in regalia of three different classes; Ve Barbanov Estrejna, Ve Szlar Kareunar, and Ve Karosir Edlervik. The first reserved for only the most prestigious five who the monarchs felt stuck with them greatly at some point throughout their reign, the latter for the humble peers who stuck by or rose during their reign, and lastly those who are worth honorable mention for their deeds. May they rest in the seven skies, Krusae zwy Kongzem. ______________________________________________________________ Ve Barbanov Ezstrejna: A regalia of great renown in means both materialism and symbolism, brought to life during the end of Karl III and Amadea of Susa's reign. This pendant holds onto a center pearl cradling a cluster of five pearls surrounding it, stretched outwards into delicate aureate prongs with the same ivory spheres in their grasp. To the flank of each stretched out six pointed tips each having four pearls on their facade, ranging in size the narrower it went. Granted to only the most prestigious subjects who served their monarchs loyally in their tenure. Ve Szlar Kareunar: A disc-shaped brooch forged from ferrum-alloy that was no bigger than 2-inches in its circumference. The facade found itself displaying that mighty insignia of House Barbanov with the side views of Georg I and Sofia of Hyspia facing it. Additionally, dangling from the piece was a smaller disc bound by silver chainlets cradling the sigil of the destined noble house it was bestowed unto. A piece to represent the loyalty during the royal tenure. Ve Karosir Edlervik: A simple band of silver sized accordingly for its specific owner, wrought into a sheer surface with slight divots in the contour of the Kingdom of Haense insignia. On the inside face of the ring was the etched name of who it was bestowed upon, while just on the outer-side was the simple phrase, “Krusae zwy Kongzem.” Gifted to those for their loyal service to Georg I and Sofia of Hyspia. ______________________________________________________________ Ve Barbanov Ezstrejna: Georg I: Ser Vladimir var Ruthern: You have always been a brother to me, Vlad. You have stood steadfast by my side for the entirety of my reign, you have been a part of my family, and helped me raise Stefan into a wonderful young man who I've no doubt will soon join you as a Knight. If there is anyone, above all, that I would wish to honour, it is you. Otto Gant: You are one of the brightest minds of our generation, Otto. You have served with utmost diligence, and made your way from cupbearer to Lord Palatine in less than a lifetime, and I am sure there is still much work for you to do. The work we have done together has shown that the Realm can only prosper further. Sixtus V: You are one of the people who have surprised me the most, Iosif (if I may still call you that). From a young man obsessed with playing spoons, rising through not only the ranks of the Church, but also the rank of the government. You mastered both worlds with elegance, and the work that you have done for me, and for the people, is beyond imagining. Lady Viorica Kortrevich: It has been a while since I have seen you, Viorica, but I still wished to honour you. When the Morrivi courts needed an outstanding presence of kindness, innovation and progress, you took up that mantle, and almost single-handedly continued to maintain a bustling and lively court for the Palace until your resignation. Thank you, endlessly. Lord Carolus Colborn: You have been a jack of all trades throughout my reign, Carolus. First a historian, then a military general, who led us to victory in multiple battles against the Mori'quessir through a cunning mind, to progress then to serve as a diligent Lord Speaker, and a man who reunited pacts of old with me. Sofia of Hyspia: Lord Fabian Kortrevich: You have been a constant and steady presence during my reign, someone who has proven himself above and beyond my expectations. Your work, your presence, you're everything that you have shown has allowed me to achieve the vision I had for my courts upon my ascension to Queen. Lady Josefina Barclay: Your quick and efficient work, even at the most inopportune and sudden times has been seen and respected highly by me and I'm sure many others. I'd seen it before my ascension to Queen, and much the same afterwards. You have become an example to strive to be. Princess Veronica Weiss: You may be my sister, but you have been my most loyal and stout person in all of this. Without your shoulder to lean on, it is difficult to see where I would be today. The work you've put in, as my advisor, within the courts, and even dropping absolutely everything to speak to me and advice on a moment's notice is worth more than even the world. Lord Haus Weiss-Vuiller: Haus has been a long-time friend and loyal companion alike. An unlikely friendship that began with the exchanging of advice, that has led to seeing each other's families grow in time. The endless work, thought, and meaning you pour into everything you can do can never be thanked enough. Always with a logical word, and a keen mind, you are someone I can and will always trust on matters of importance. Senora Fable Ambrosia: You are what amounts to an older woman who somehow completely and utterly crashed into my life at the strangest of times, and I welcome it fervently. The advice, the comfort, the moments that had me questioning if you were even real has all led to me truly enjoying your presence and what you have brought to my life as a whole. Ve Szlar Kareunar: House Barclay, Duchy of Reinmar House Baruch, Duchy of Valwyck House Ruthern, Duchy of Vidaus House Ludovar, County of Otistadt House Kortrevich, County of Jerovitz House Colborn, County of Malkovya House Weiss, Viscounty of Novkursain House Godunov, Barony of Verskaya House Stafyr, Barony of Thurant House Amador, Barony of Mondstadt House Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia Ve Karosir Edlervik: Lord Wilheim Barclay Barones Alyona Godunov Duchess Roslin Baruch Baron Arthur Stafyr Baroness Elia Colborn-Stafyr Lady Ailsa Baruch Lord Andrik var Ruthern Princess Franziska Elaine Prince Franz Leopold Duke Manfred Barclay Mister Lukas Radovanic Mister Emeric Radovanic Ser Sterling Amador Ser Audo Weiss Vicereine-Madre Laurelie de Pelear Lady Allessandra de Vend Princess Hera Munnel Sir Wyn Larian Lady Liridona Amador _________________________________________________________________ Signatures, HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, GEORG I, by the Grace of Godan King of Hanseti and Ruska, Grand Hetman of the Army, Prince of Bihar, Dules, Lahy, Muldav, Solvesborg, Slesvik and Ulgaard, Duke of Carnatia and Vanaheim, Margrave of Korstadt, Rothswald and Vasiland, Count of Alban, Alimar, Baranya, Graiswald, Karikhov, Karovia, Kaunas, Kavat, Kovachgrad, Kvasz, Markev, Nenzing, Torun, and Toruv, Viscount of Varna, Baron of Esenstadt, Kraken’s Watch, Kralta, Krepost, Lorentz, Rytsburg, Thurant, Venzia and Astfield, Lord of the Westfolk, Protector of the Highlanders, etcetera.
