  4. The elf looked unto a fading sun the very same day, the hills of the frigid north shrouding the setting star. The elf shifted uncomfortably as his inner flame coldened bitterly, viewing outward. His self-imposed flagellance of hoping his dim heat would give out, and he would crumble to nothing in that horrid snow. He looked through the contents of his bag idly, as trouble stirred within his very spirit. The bag was foreign to him, as he still had yet to explore Sand's belongings, for the memory was too sour. He withdrew a letter, entitled; "To Elu". The elf had these- a series of last wills his previous form had written to those his new would see after death. He'd handed out a few already; Allant, Midnetora, while withholding Elu and Cierra's - another simply entitled to an old lover still yet unopened. It's better I move on. I have killed someone to give myself life. I am to become that someone. Perhaps they'd like me better in such a way. The Nephilim opened the letter, reading its contents idly- his face bittering as his expression would knit tightly. Elu, I am damned. Your doubt in "Azdromoth" and the nephilim has caused me such fear. You are supposed to be indomitable and strong. Yet, you have been lain low to doubts and anxieties. What upon Aeldin had caused you to feel so? And why myself? Had you not accursed my family enough with this plague? Junar, Alayris, Avaeramos -- as my brothers yet they are gone. I have none left and yet you take more. This is your cycle, your eternal purpose of war. It is your ideal I suppose, as I have my own. My Asioth and yours. I know you feel no pity in what will meet death soon. I will not try to pry such from you. This letter is a waste. Discard this. The Nephilim viewed the letter, his expression souring- Had Sand truly wrote this before his death? Despite what the words may have said- the feeling was not there. The vitriol and venom Sand had imbued unto his words were nothing to reality. The dark truth of Sand's lies drained the Nephilim- and this had aided. What if he had gone tomorrow? Would he even hand this to Elu? The Nephilim crumpled the letter, putting it back in his bag. Like a father, like a hero- did he knew he viewed Elu. Perhaps Sand had surrendered himself to death not in fear- but to one day be akin to that Dragonkin he had admired. He was the only one who had spoken to the Herald - the only one who had told him truly how he felt. That was the companionship he so desired. The truth he simply craved. That Elu would not lie, for he had everything to lose- and yet he did not lie to that woeful Herald Sand. Furcalor, Ruvaak, Sand, Caradryel - many names had the dragonkin chosen and not chosen. Each to their varying degrees of truth to who the elf actually was. Yet he did not fit with any of them - the Nephilim was not Furcalor, it was what Marchosias had chosen for him. It was not Ruvaak, for it was what he chose to spite Marchosias. It was not Sand, for it is what Junar had given him. It was not Caradryel, for it was Sand's true name. He was not Elu, nor would he ever be. The Nephilim did not understand Sand's desire to be like him, yet to kick and thrash so violently when he was to get what he desired. The Nephilim did not understand why he would hate the one who would give him all. Nor would he decide to give Elu that letter which condemned him so. He took in a breath of the frosty winter air, the cold painfully wracking his form as he continued his penance. He considered what Elu would think of him now- while off fighting in some glorious battle amidst smoke and salt, the elf was sitting in the far north, hoping to die of exposure as a craven than to at least bear dignity to take his own life. He hated himself, then. Yet he always did. The Nephilim was a troubled thing. A fickle representation to the power and pride that he was supposed to be. Elu wished unto the elf in life, death, and life again, that he would one day become like him- Inquisitor Eternal, to explore the endless seas and skies and to soar as deity among men. Yet here he was, atop a lonesome hill with the bleeding daylight, freezing in winter winds. He grunted to a stand, The Nephilim hefting a heavy hammer over his shoulder- Whispers of The Archdrakaar, the greatblade of his mentor- steadily held unto his back within sheath. Today is the day I become myself. I'm going to speak to you, Elu, and we will achieve our Asioth together. Brother by brother. Your blood and mine. The elf exclaimed proudly unto that sun which had set, the darkened sky being the only to hear his voice. He felt stupid, speaking alone. To where nobody would hear. Even Elu, as he passed in those moments.

  6. Manite Material Name and Description (Raw form) Manite is a stone which bears a consistency of wet sand, though is highly inconsistent in this property. Often, Manite is in differing forms of shape, size, hardness, density, and so on. Some forms of Manite even bear a density so fine it competes with air for space as it floats above the earth. Manite breaks all conventional and known laws of properties, even inexplicable to Voidal Magi who may make the most use of Manite- even some able to manipulate so. Manite is most commonly found in the darker spectrum of cold colours, generally navy blue and deep purples. Manite is found within Voidal Hollows, often replacing the stone which was impacted by the event which caused the Hollow to form. Bombarded with an immeasurable amount of highly potent voidal mana, Manite would, initially, bear the consistency of stone and soil commonly found within the region of the Hollow Event. However, with manipulation by Transmutation- Manite may have it’s properties change unrecognizably. Applications (Raw Form) Manite has no set use or application, highly variable depending upon the whim of the mage. Transfigurationists may use transmutation to alter the effects of Manite massively and at freeform. Changing the shape or size would merely add or subtract to the Manite- larger amounts and changes requiring more and more mana and effort. A skilled Transfigurationist would be able to change the properties of Manite on a much larger scale than a standard or amateur practitioner. The stone never loses density unless such is altered- which simply adds or subtracts in a similar manner to size. Alteration of colour and temperature are the most notable for having little to no effect upon Manite, unable to shift it from it’s ambient cool temperature. These properties may bear a unique trait from their specific hollow should it affect them in such a manner. Red Lines (Raw Form) -Alter Shape and Density easily break the redlines of Transfiguration when used upon Manite, which simply adds or subtracts mass in accordance to a shift in size and density. -Altering Density or Position, one may easily allow Manite to have the power to float above the earth. -Alter Colour and Temperature bear no effect on Manite. -Manite has a cool ambient temperature, never exceeding [60] degrees Fahrenheit, or [15.5] Celsius. -Manite has a consistency of wet sand, though may be easily hardened to a strength of steel, or weakened to a viscous mud-like liquid. -Manite is a playersigned material, and may only be gathered from Voidal Hollows. If there is no Voidal Hollow active upon a map which one may gather from, one may not create Manite. -Manite, though afflicted by obscene amounts of mana, stores none. (Thus, it cannot be used as a ‘battery’). -Manite is not unordinarily susceptible to any material or magic. -Manite requires more mana based on the amount being manipulated. A magi may manipulate up to [5] cubed meters [5x5x5] before fully exhausting themselves for a full OOC day. -Despite how voidal artifice (Tears, Nodes/Hollows, Obelisks, etc.) may fortify a magi’s pools, the [5] cubed meters referenced above may not be exceeded without posing a direct danger to a mage’s state of health. Harvesting Method Manite may easily be harvested without issue by simply picking it up and storing it without any trouble. Harvesting Red Lines -Manite, at base, weighs proportionally as much as standard stone would in the region it was created. Thus, one may not fill a sack with Manite and walk away without issue, or even at all given the weakness and exhaustion Hollows would bring. -Mass creation of Manite items would be considered powergaming given the nature of it’s harvesting and usage, and is at discretion of the ST. Purpose (OOC) Manite is a semi-forgotten piece of “Material” lore on LOTC utilized in Void Nodes & Hollows. Given the recent state of Ando Alur and it’s effects, we feel it would be beneficial to make a return to LOTC as a small, semi-harmless, creative material which serves as a narrative piece for players to creatively use how they see fit.
