  8. Elia Eryka at the request of her kin and monarchy cornered herself away with quill and scroll, eyes pinned unto an array of blueprints below. With a soft inhale she came to a pause at the discovery of old etchings by the late Duchess Johanna Barlcay - unfinished concepts, but concepts none the less. And it was with that she got to work, mixing old with her new; her own and Johannas; designing what would be the grand Castle of Valdev.

  11. Barbanov Collection I Penned by Baroness Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr 9th of Jula Ag Piov 480 Introduction Over the past couple of years, I have devoted myself to the arrangement of perhaps one of the biggest individual collections the Royal Treasury has obtained. Through gruesome detail and historical studies, I’ve produced a personalized arrangement of regalia for few of the current-living Barbanovs to date, alas two who have passed through the duration of my process. All pieces within this collection, although devoted to specific individuals, solely belong to the Crown of Haeseni-Ruska and the ruling Monarchs. They have all rights to the jewelry listed below and may request them for personal or whatever use they may have at any point in time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Koeng Georg I The Breinpya Circlet: This circlet was forged from gold and relatively mundane in its contour; being a round band with a flat facade entirely around the skull. Held with small prongs shaped to look like unfurling leaves, a variety of gemstones lined the regalia, structured to be of the same square-cut while maintaining difference in colors; stretching through the colors of the rainbow, with repeating colors of differing hue. Red garnet, orange topaz, yellow diamond, green jade, blue aquamarine, and violet amethyst -- only few of the pieces used in this grand regalia. It was difficult to style this circlet, and those who managed to do such ought to be full-heartedly appraised. Asseran Earrings: A set of golden earrings that are simple studs, holding onto the contour of suns of the design most commonly found within familial or noble crests. Set within the center of each sun was a singular square-cut aquamarine. In honor of Queen Emma, the grandmother of Georg I, King of Haeseni-Ruska. Bordering each gemstone were raised dots of carved gold, providing for a simple yet detailed method of ensuring the pieces were fixed in place securely. The Consorts Ring: A golden signet that wraps around the user's index-finger with a smooth base, fixated with a flat facade meant to act as a platform for square-cut ruby. Carved within the gemstone were the side-views of the two Queen-Consorts that were previously wed to His Majesty, Georg I. On the left side was Queen-Consort Esfir Amelya, and on the right was Queen-Consort Sofia Camila, the pair faced one another with neutral expression. As to compliment the personal regalia was golden trimming with etched sayings; the top provided the initials ‘E & S’ meanwhile the lower-part offered the common saying ‘Krusae zwy Kongzem’. Embrace of Doldra: A circular brooch with designs of bejeweled lilies surrounding the border of a painted image, made-up of a variety of miniscule placed zoisite cuts, arranged to form the small flowers. Within the center of the piece would be the aforementioned painting of the Exalted Godfrey foreshadowing the painted scenery of Ba’as, the artist being only that of Lord Thondorus Thiges Stafyr. Associated with the Arcane Zodiac, followed by that of the Rhenyari - this piece pays homage to the maternal ancestry of His Majesty, Georg I, tribute to his own zodiac of which he was born under. Etched in the inner-trimming of the painting were two etched namesakes; ‘Amadea of Susa’ and ‘Alina of Basrid’. Koenas Sofia of Hyspia Manto de Underdark: Forged from a base of white gold, the tiara was structured with a thick band to rest further back against the scalp, meant to have hair swept before its front. Originally mistaken for some sort of opaque amethyst due to its deep purple tone within the caverns of Underdark, it was soon revealed that the gemstones which line the piece are a variation of foreign diamonds. Although of differing sizes dependent on the prong they rest upon, each stone was contoured in a royal-style cut. Above ground the diamonds appear akin to most diamonds, though shimmering vaguely with a hint of color correlating with the light it is shrouded in. From the following order of brightest of darkest - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple - the colors vary, always granting an unique look to the tiara. However, the most magical aspect of the piece is when in direct ray of sunlight, the pieces shone brightly and gave off the appearance of a ‘heatwave’ of rainbow colors, providing for a marvelous reveal of splendor. The Hyspian Recollection: A set of simple fish-hook earrings with aureate wire that coil around a timidly sized piece of raw bismuth. While the piece can surely be regarded as simple, the stone itself provides for an alluring appeal with its stretch of various metallic-esque coloring, from the hues of teal to pink, orange and so-forth. As to sort of tone down the starkness of the color to the skin of its user, the bismuth and earring hook are bound by a singular pearl discovered within the southern lands of Hyspia, prior to its vassalization under Karl III of Haense. The Cross of Sofia: A small Hussaryian cross, crafted from hearty Karosgrad gold. While not as bold as typical crosses donned within the Ruskan culture, this timid piece provided for a nice touch to any attire with a steeper collar, while paying homage to the Creator and Canonism. Dressed across the face of the piece was meticulously fixed topaz in various hues - sunset shades, peachy-pinks, grassy greens, fierce reds, and creamy blues. On the back of the regalia was the carving of initials; S.C.B The Viceroy Signet: A simple golden ring with a face of four circles, forming to meet at a hidden center - bound. The general facade and flank of the ring had many soft round grooves, vanishing nearer the back of the piece. A deep charcoal varnish was scrubbed in between each contour, providing a stark look for each small nook. Resting along the four circles was a small formation of three makeshift pearls carved from jade gemstone, polished to a finish. On the back surface of the ring was the House Crest of House de Pelear. Grand Prince Aleksandr Otto Collier of Karosgrad: Forged from over sixty square-plates of gold, this collier is donned specifically for the public-outings, for its weight could cause discomfort if worn for too long. As per request with its speciality, this regalia was crafted with the assistance of Aeldinic goldmaster, Ser Le’bron James. Beginning from the left shoulder to the right, the gradual transition of Karosgrad is shown; starting with that of King Josef I and ending with Georg I. Only the key events are displayed on each square-cut plate, while the ones further behind the shoulder all hold onto the face of a crow, with onyx gemstones for their eyes. Acting as a centerpiece for the collier, a Haenseti-rose brings the plates together with the etching ‘Krusae zwy Kongzem’ on its lower trimming. Strung from it would be a simple Hussariyan cross, embedded with a variety of gemstones for flair to be viewed from afar; rubies, pink sapphires, topaz, emeralds, and pearls. Ring of St. Tara: In honor of St. Tara: peony flower: Forged from sterling silver, the band was meant to secure itself about one's thumb, an embedded verse etched all along the ring; “It came that Joren Son of Horen found a wife of virtue and dignity, who came from Aaun. Her name was Tara, and her kindness warmed the halls of Joren’s keep, and he resolved to wed her.” (Gospel 4:6-7), with its borders from the top-to-bottom being that of various miniscule peonies. This piece acted as a reminder of Aleksandr’s future wife, Amaya of Venzia, and the shared loyalty they would have throughout the years whether it be enduring solace, turmoil, or both. The Barb-Kort Brooch: This piece was forged from black titanium, acting as a pin to secure additional clothing strung across an outfit; cloaks, stashes, cowls, etc. As an ode to his familial roots -- maternal and paternal, the brooch belonging to Aleksandr Otto was based around a diagonal sword, its top left corner hosting the contour of a mighty bull with its front legs raised, meanwhile the lower right displayed a crow with its wings splayed for flight. Although simple and devoid of jewels, the metal itself was polished to a severe shine, easily acting as a quaint memory to his parentage. Prince Stefan Edvard La Bague des Grands-parents: A golden ring is shined to a strong polish, engraved with a multitude of miniscule gorillas and lions; a minor ode to his grandparents; though not the main focus of the piece. A bright and rather large ruby in a teardrop-cut sits atop the facade of that aureate band, evidently rather luxurious and purposeful in its selection. As to pair with a blade the Prince Stefan typically was found with, the red ruby was specifically used for that marvelous crimson pairing, mixing reason with opulence. Eye of Mistress: A simple circular brooch with a painted part of a mysterious mistress, being that of her eye and brow. With a gentle blue iris on rosey-colored flesh, a merge of cloud-filled skies blended into that of the facade with a fantasy-esque flair. The only starkness besides the deep iris coming from that of the raven locks painted. Surrounding said portrait was a border of various ivory pearls, structured nearly to suit that delicate painting and the crimson ribbon that crossed behind it with extra flamboyant detailing. Princess Royal Analiesa Josefina Zelenaya Babochka: With intricate loops, an aureate chain was formed to settle closely against one's neck, best paired with a lower neckline. Although this necklace was abnormal from the typical Haeseni design, it resembled Rhenyari more closely within its inspiration. Strung throughout the piece would be various chainlinks of same material but slimmer in size, bounding a bountiful of pearls from the Lake of Voron found in Almaris. Each pearl was polished to a shine and meticulously placed to compliment the centerpiece of the regalia which was a base forged into the contour of a butterfly, its wings being made up of alluring prehnite; a green-yellow colored gemstone that was hardly transparent, providing a beautiful shine as it were properly polished. With obvious flair, the necklace was noted to belong to the Duchess with the given initials of ‘A.J.R’ on the back of the butterfly’s base. The Comet Kokoshnik: Drawing from inspiration of her late firstborn daughter, Elizaveta Ruthern, this kokoshnik was crafted in honor of her memory. Thus, the entirety of the headpiece drew out vibrant deeper colors primarily associated with the nighttime sky. To support the aesthetic, the entirety of the base was forged from that of black titanium, highlighted by a vague glossing of sheer aureate-hue. Complex designs covered the facade of the kokoshnik, supporting a variety of titanium beads which decorated themselves in scattered five-petaled flowerettes with a semi-larger core. Placed in the center was one of the largest lapis cuts in the Royal Collection, shined to a polish with a deep blue color. At the top of the kokoshnik, small metallic leaves scatter along the trimming, meanwhile the lower half supported stringed beads of polished blue and silver pearls, harvested from Failor. As to complete the piece, titanium spheres of differing sizes hung from the flanks of the base, few painted blue to support the general color scheme. Not many were able to pull off this piece, as it was designed specifically with the Duchess and her daughter in mind. Prince Marius Audemar Trinity of Petra: A sterling silver cross that is simple in its nature; there are no grand gemstones, no little ones, nor decently sized ones. What sets this piece apart is that the Hussaryian cross holds onto carved etchings of vineyard leaves, running along the border of each structure whether it vertical or horizontal, as an ode to the homeland of the Prince’s wife- Archduchess Renilde. Although it is casual in nature compared to the general Royal collect, its simplicity is what makes it a favorable complimentary piece for already flamboyant outfits. Prince Nikolas Leopold Augo o' Owl: Of simple design this brooch was crafted from black titanium, polished to shine without the coverage of a multitude of gemstones. Its contour was that of an owl, peering out towards those who faced the wearer. Acting as the eyes of this piece was a pair of polished onyx gemstones, shaped in a square-cut. Through all of the meticulous and focused detailing, this piece somehow turned out more gloomy than alluring, although still sparking an enigmatic awe. Princess Irena Karenina Helaine Griffin of Savin: An exotic piece of intricate design, forged from sterling silver which was shaped into the contour of a griffin, carved with precise and intense detailing. The metal itself was polished so severely it shone, complimenting the deeply-marbled black dendrite. The gemstone itself, while typically colorless or simply white held splotches of black curling outwards from a primary core of milky-white hue. The mineral was rumored to have been inherited all the way back to the Princess’ distant-ancestral kin of House de Savin, eventually bestowed to Anastasia I as a gift. As to serve as a reminder of the Princess’ origins, the engraving of a House Crest acted as the singular displayed eye of the griffin, being that of House Novellen. Archduchess Renilde Helena The Slithering Heart: This symbolic piece is something found frequently on the Archduchess’ person, meant to act as a reminder of the previous partner whom she deemed as her betrayer. Casted from gold, this booch was shaped to act as two intertwining snakes in an oval-outline, their unhinged maws clamping down onto a green-colored gemstone in an obtuse angle from either flank. The lozenge-cut gem was in fact a polished green diamond. Below the brooch where the tails met, a small hoop held onto a singular strung pearl. The pearl itself was harvested from the old lake of Petra, originating from Almaris. Lady Ekaterina Emma The Garnet Rose of Kaedrin: Forged from hearty steel, the hairpiece held onto three dulled prongs meant to serve as a structure to fasten into bundled locks. Its simplicity was one of the major appeals as the violet garnets which made up its facade shone with stark intensity, that anything else would’ve brought on too much chaos. Contoured to the liking of a Kaedreni rose, this five-petaled flower held onto a garnet for each one, the center being a series of miniscule, polished honey calcite pearls. The granites themselves were inherited from the young Barbanov’s maternal grandmother, Catherine Anastasia, Duchess of Westmarch. It is said this piece was an ode to the relative for her fierce lifestyle of adventure, pride, and political prowess. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Deceased Koenas Esfir of Jerovitz Le Taureau Isolé: Standing proud with a protruding chest, the contour of a bull stood atop its hind legs with lifted front hooves, made to give off the appearance of a creature with noble demeanor. The material which the creature was forged from was a rare black titanium, made to stand out as its entire facade was covered in miniscule-polished black blizzard stones. The singular iris of the bull’s side-view was a vibrant tiny-cut ruby which shone out against the darker hues of the hairpiece. Dangling off from the bottom and centered, was a teardrop shaped violet garnet-- strung on by three small metallic chain loops. Necklace of Jerovitz: An elaborate necklace with a base of rose gold, made to rest against the collarbone fully up along the nape. Rather than having a center gemstone, the regalia itself has ten resin pieces in the contour of half-dutch rose gemstones spread along the band. Within the resin is a mixture of aureate-colored mica and dried vibrant maple leaves taken from the old County of Jerovitz within Almaris. Bordering each resin-piece would be meticulously shaped and placed pink sapphires, providing for a personal yet majestic appeal. Princess Mariya Karenina “The Kinslayer” Necklace of Twazemametvas: An ethereal necklace forged from mostly gemstones with sterling silver acting as the material to bind each piece, into a regalia of absolutely dreadful awe. The main centerpiece was that of a giant deep-blue sapphire, bordered by a multitude of diamonds. More strings of diamonds hung unto a variety of smaller sapphires as they all were connected to a tiger neckline of diamonds that wrapped around the nape in a choker-esque fashion, glimmering with a natural polished shine. Many would not dare to touch this piece, as evident by the wooden box typically used to seal away that seemingly cursed piece. The obvious con of this piece is whom it once belonged to, and the near unspoken beauty of the necklace. It is rumored that only the most loyal and pious of the Princess' may be able to don this without grotesque consequence. Her Royal Majesty, Sofia Camila of Hyspia, Queen-Consort of Hanseti and Ruska, Princess of Hyspia, 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, Siegrad, Werdenburg, Alimar, Baranya, Graiswald, Karikhov, Karovia, Kaunas, Kavat, Kovachgrad, Kvasz, Markev, Nenzing, Torun, and Toruv, Viscountess-Consort of Varna, Baroness-Consort of Esenstadt, Kraken’s Watch, Kralta, Krepost, Lorentz, Rytsburg, Buck, Thurant and Astfield, Lady of the Westfolk, Protector and Lady of the Highlanders, etcetera. Baroness Elia Eryka Colborn-Stafyr, The Curator of the Crown Jewels and Haucharkietat.
  12. Elia Eryka purely raged. “How is it Anabel a marmodir before me?” She shouted to her husband, angrily searching out her children to berate them further about marriage and having children.
  13. A most joyous scyfling hurried along in her temporary lodging as she beckoned for those about to get out of her way. With the upmost urgency she called servants galore as to ready the paramount of gifts, attires, and other necessities for this Royal union. "Oh, Ada. How our dottir has grown." The Baroness croaked, hoping for grandbabies.
  14. Baroness Elia Eryka releases a string of scyfling curses. "I enjoyed her company."
  15. Elia Eryka wafted a hand in the air, ordering for a servant within the Stafyr campsite to make effort on framing a copy of the ledger. Warmly, a smile crossed her lips.
  16. Somewhere an elfess mourns the loss of her homeland...
  17. Oh yeah? Netflix says otherwise!!
  18. Elia Eryka profusely weaps in joy, one step closer to having grandbabies.
  19. Across the vast ocean walls stood an elfess with a soft muse, palm acquiring a glass of wine as she enjoyed the exotic flavors of the foreign brew. "Perhaps it is time I returned home once more, after these Mori have been dealt with." Spoke the Izalith, nostrils flaring as she nodded to her husband across the table. "Ready yourself for these upcoming years. We shall be devoting ourselves entirely to the Society."
  20. A Hyspians trembles. “Dios mio”
  21. Somewhere an older scyfling woman gripped her torso where the heart rest, collapsing onto her knees. Sheer stress filled her as the haste thudding of her heart echoed in the depths if a swarming head. “Baldrum-... you were the baby.” Elia Eryka wept out, palms moving to cover her face as sobs escaped, shoulders trembling. “Nejt my little brodir.”

  23. A perhaps long forgotten Sister dressed in greenery and loose fabrics strides forth, waist bound with a variety of small flasks and clay vials full to the brim with booze and other liquor. “Another?! Welcome! Enjoy some fresh adult-juice. It never ends.” That Sister Calendula roared in welcoming, dancing about in a mad-man haze.
