The Duchy of Bravuna

~ The Bravunian People ~
 

- Introduction -
 

 The people of Bravuna are a rather eccentric and uncommon people in the eyes of other settlements. They are people who strongly value the cultural arts, naturalism or preservation of nature, and their own faith; the Cannonist Religion. Throughout the years since the beginning of their culture, they have flourished and grew upon their teachings of freedom and expression of oneself. They represent not as much strength since they were not created around the displeasing period of warfare or combat but instead presenting to others the creative and colorful way of life they have refined upon their lands. The Bruvanian’s are all-around artistic and educated individuals with their lifestyle emulating their strong sense of freedom, artistic expression, and pacifism. And so, the lands that the Bruvanian people settled upon are rather colorful and vibrant places, constructed around beautiful gardens and filled with areas of music and art. 

  - The Origins -
 

[The Historical Events]
 

Once more the Bruvanian people have a deep-rooted history alongside other cultures in the world with racial and cultural diffusion to be the main cause of this newfound peace. The two most notable figures that contributed to the construction and founding of the lands are Mariya Sofia of house Drăghicescu and Léon Stéphane of house D’Airelle. The noble house of Drăghicescu dates back all the way to the split of the Horen Royal Houses, being a household that has mainly married into nobility or higher status. Namely known for the marriage between the daughter of house Drăghicescu and the son of house Vilacz. Furthermore, the most recent marriage arrangement has been set for a son of house D’Airelle and a daughter of house Drăghicescu, both of which will later go on to establish the monarchical bloodline of the Holy State of Bravuna. With the union of these two prestigious households and later on many more, the current people of Bravuna would be a mixture of Auvagarian, Illatian, and Trotani.

During the arrival upon the lands of Almaris, the house of D’Airelle was broken and mourning for the loss of their parents during the Inferi Scourge on the past lands of Arcas. This Auvagarian family had nowhere to go on these new lands, they were no one of importance and had little recognition, to begin with. However, one of the eldest sisters decided to take up the role of Matriarch of the family and filled only with hope for the future and survival of their family. After some time of traveling between the new lands, they learned of the Nation of Haense and the Kingdom of Karosgrad. This family then believed that moving to Haense was the best option for them, the same would be for the house of Drăghicescu, though the history and start of that family are rather unknown to this day. Nonetheless, once the D’Airelle family arrived and established themselves in the settlement of Karosgrad, they all began working on their name and striving towards a goal of recognition. To this day the D’Airelle family has continued to better their name and enrich their history, while the youngest son and his betrothed friend work towards their very own idea. . .
 

- Religion -
 

[Marriage and Divorce]
 

The people of Bravuna follow the Canonist Faith, this religion being one very well known amongst the human nations and settlements. The followers of the Canonist Faith believe that the Holy Scrolls hold the truth of life in the realm of the living and then the seven skies, along with the belief of the one true GOD- The Creator. The Bravunian’s typically follow the laws and beliefs that are pushed on by the Church of Canon.

- Military and Warfare  -
 

[The Phoenix Order]
 

The military force of Bravuna known as the Phoenix Order protects the entirety of Its own lands and those of the allied vessels if they call upon them. It’s often seen that the military forces are led by two high up figures, the Duke and the Lord/Lady Commander that commands, prepares, and utilizes the members. In addition, the two leaders are to be assisted by a circle or council of other high ranking officers and advisors of the military. The enlisted and chosen officers and advisors of the Phoenix Order can be of any gender and of any race, that being said, the State of Bravuna is a place that allows both men and women, humans and elves, to join in the military activities. 

Normally the members of the Phoenix Order are trained to be efficient in swordsmanship, however, over the years the focus has shifted away from such limiting standards to something more freeing and unique. They have begun to learn many other advanced skills that may be passed along to the next few generations of recruits, for example, archery or the usage of other long-ranged weaponry, polearms usage, and the use of inventions that allow for the military to protect the people of Bravuna. Another few important skills commonly taught amongst the ranks are, horseback riding and spear throwing while mounted on their mighty steeds. These skills are to be taught with many more than compliments and builds upon each other, allowing for these riders to be recognized as a few of the best in the lands. 

The armor of the military is one of the few things that separates these unique warriors from those of other nations because of the uncommon yet elegant appearance of most sets. These armor sets are forged with a common yet strong metal, while the surface would be engraved with various markings and symbols as to be the story of each warrior. In addition, thick leather and furs are often placed on top of the armor to help them withstand the cold climates, the unpredictable weather, and even save them from fatal blows in combat. 

However, It must be said again that the Bruvanian people are not supporters of warfare or aimless combat unless It must be done to protect the peace and harmony of their lands. You won’t see members of the Phoenix Order causing foreign problems or flaunting their position in the military to implant fear in those and they would never attack unready or innocent people as they follow a strict code of honor. Nonetheless, the State of Bravuna has begun negotiating with many neighboring settlements to establish alliances with them, all for maintaining peace and order while allowing for the lands to flourish and grow further.   

- The State Government  -
 

[Government under Bravunian Rule]
 

Currently, The State of Bravuna is ruled over by ducal monarchs, the duke and duchess of Bravuna, a Holy Governor to keep the religious peace, and a sect of councilors to help each department or seat of city affairs and foreign affairs. The man or woman who runs the different seats are called masters which are chosen by the duke and duchess, then the Seat masters may hire others of the state such as the common Bruvanian People or even the royals/nobles to help them in their seats. Meetings are seen to be hosted every week or so to discuss assignments and 

such.

The Seat of the Holy Governor - The seat of the Holy Governor is a seat newly made to give the church special privileges within the state of Bravuna. 

The Grand-Seat of the Arch-Chancellor - The Grand-Seat of the Arch-Chancellor is the seat that serves under the Arch-Chancellor, the Arch-Chancellor is a position given to the most loyal person to the Duchess and Duke, having a rule over all the other Seats, making sure every seat has complete order and all work well with one another. 

The Seat Of Educational and Cultural Affairs - The Seat of Educational and Cultural Affairs is the seat that serves under the master of education and culture, this master and his team of coworkers are tasked with teaching those young ones and others of the city, along with this they are tasked with running the state's academy.

The Seat Of Coin and Internal Affairs - The Seat of Coin and Internal Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of the Master of Coin and Internal Affairs, the responsibility of this master is to see that all taxes are collected from the citizens that live within the state, they are also taken with the responsibilities of a common treasurer and steward, for example keeping the money of the city collected and organized, and along with giving out homes to new citizens.

The Seat Of Defensive Affairs - The Seat of Defensive Affairs is the seat that serves under the ruling of the master of Defensive Affairs, usually seen to be the duke and one other military official the two and their hired co-workers are tasked with keeping the military stable and function properly, to protect the state, and finally uphold the laws of the state completely enforcing them.

- The State Architecture  -
 

[The Artistic Architecture of Bravuna]
 

The Holy State of Bravuna’s architecture is mainly influenced by the diverse cultures and arts that came from the Auvagarian, Illatian, and Trotani people of the past. As time went on and the people of Bravuna grew in numbers and diversity, so did their cultures and lifestyles. It soon became apparent that they would go on to live a free and unified life and that the cultural arts were a way for them to express that. The architecture was developed to represent a lot about its people, the large and colorful structures being built in a way that did not bring harm to the existing nature of the terrain around it and instead of using it to create a distinctive and special ecosystem between the citizens and nature itself. For example, some settlements and nations would destroy the beautiful flora growing upon their lands to allow for expansion, however, the Bruvanians preferred to construct elegant gardens and parks around them. Along with this, the walls of Bravuna were created at a great height to stop intruders from entering their lands unannounced and to make the people feel more comfortable. And, while the walls appear to be rather basic in design apart from the magnificent height or thickness, the interior of the walls are littered with murals or art pieces from the people. 

- State Economy  -
 

[The Poverty and Wealth of Bravuna]
 

The economy of the Holy State is primarily based on the trade agreements with other nations and settlements that are placed outside of the Bruvanian borders. The State usually trades many personally crafted items such as paintings, sculptures, instruments, weapons, clothes, and even alcohol. What’s more, the Holy State of Bravuna has even begun using the large body of water they are connected to for more sea travel and sea-related trade, adding specially made and refined ships, aquatics plants, and much more to their trade. 

- Magic Around of Bravuna  -
 

[The Vision of Magic]
 

Even though the practice and utilization of magic are not exactly well-known amongst the Bruvanian people, It’s often seen as a fascinating and beautiful art while for others, a sinful and evil practice that goes against their religion. Nonetheless, whatever may be their opinion, the use of magic is allowed in the Holy State of Bravuna. The immediate construction of the Seat of Arcane Affairs came with numerous restrictions and guidelines that protect the people, and even those who use such arts. Furthermore, most forms of magic are legalized and allowed to be used within the walls of Bravuna, including voidal forms, some deific forms, and forms that don't fall under the Dark Arts. While this is the case, voidal forms are the most prominent ones and are often seen as the most liked and preferred form of magic within the lands of Bravuna. However, while magic is popular and mostly legalized, the Dark Arts are still seen as dangerous and impure, forbidding such mages the entry to the State as a whole.

With the constant advancements and achievements in the lands of Bravuna, one of the most unique and uncommon sights is the normalization of magic. In other settlements upon Almaris, magic has always been a taboo or sore subject, though that is not the case for the people of Bravuna. The oversight of tolerant Monarchs and Nobles allowed for Mages to use their magic for the betterment of the State. Many users of the Arcane Arts were allowed to assist in the military and overall protection of the State while others created inventions or items to help their way of life.

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Herblore

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

The Druidic Gift of Herblore is something that some Druids are able to learn once they are at a certain Tier, specifically Tier 4 in Communion. It’s the art of altering the properties of herbs through the use of Communion by requesting for the plant to grow or change in a certain way and thus causing their properties to be affected in numerous ways. For example, increasing/decreasing potency or the duration of the herbs. Furthermore, properties cannot be removed completely, only altered to a certain degree. And, a Druid may only alter/change properties that they know are within the herb, therefore the importance of studying different herbs and their uses is crucial with using this gift. Commonly, this Druidic Gift may be used to create powerful salves, balms, et cetera that utilizes the effects of the herbs. You can also focus on certain herbs/plants to learn their properties with communion if you might not know or be able to read up on them/learn through other means.

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

N/A

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

**The Hummingbird Druid wandered down the farmlands within the Glade of Elvenesse. His eyes moved about the area as he let out a small sigh, slowly approaching some nearby growing ginger. He'd then kneel down in front of the plant as he connected, his eyes erupting with bright marigold colored hues. He'd take a moment to commune with the plant, hoping to increase the duration of it's medicinal effects, It's property of dwindling nausea. 

**After a moment, the Hummingbird Druid exchanged a request with the ginger plant, asking for It to increase the duration of It's medicinal effects. And with his knowledge of the plant and strength with the druidic gift, the plant listened and began to try and follow such a request.

**The Druid allowed for his energies to be flow into the ginger plant, supplying it with enough to complete the request given. If one might have watched the Druid or observed the gift in use, they would notice some of his marigold energies forming in the palms of his hands before flowing off towards the plant. It'd then seep into the plants form as a source of supply for it to continue with the request, trying to increase It's duration.

**The Ginger plant continued to work on changing It's property, to increase the duration of It's medicinal effects. As time went on, It would appear to finish though such completion won't be visible just yet. 

**The Druid would have felt that his request succeeded and thus was about completed, however, he would then notice a faint shimmer of marigold colored energies around the plant. It was a signal for the Druid that the request was done and completed, it's duration longer.

**The Hummingbird Druid closed his eyes for a moment as his connection faded, the colored energies fading from his eyes as he stopped communing. He'd then go to harvest the plant before standing and walking off. 

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

(Teacher): *Becclain Arvellon would lead his student to a quiet area within the Grove, somewhere they could begin the first lesson for this druidic gift. Once he found an area, he would sit across from his student as he then motioned to the plants/herbs around him. "We are going to begin with your first lesson for this druidic gift, but beware that It's not something you could use without putting effort into learning and practicing. Furthermore, It's mainly based around your prior knowledge of the plant-life that which you are working with, understood?" He'd say with a nod before going to pass over a small smile*

(Student): "Y-Yes... Of course, I'm ready Brother Hummingbird..." The Student would nod their head as they were prepared to start with the lesson*

(Teacher): "First, we are going to begin by closing our eyes and focusing on the natural flora around us. I would like for you to begin meditating and getting a feel for the area, simply become more comfortable with the area." He'd then close his eyes as he took a deep breath in, beginning to clear his mind and focusing onto the flora around him.*

(Student): "Mhm..." He'd then go to close his eyes as he took a deep breath in as well, focusing on the flora around him as he began meditating for a moment. After a few moments, he offered a few words to the Elder Druid "I believe I'm ready comfortable with the area now Mal'onn..."

(Teacher): "Purrfect... As you know with the druidic gift of herblore, you must know and understand the herbs that you are working with, what properties you wish to alter and such. However, sometime you might not always know each herb you are working with nor know where to begin with learning- The easiest option is to commune with the plant and ask for the It's properties. It's honestly that simple, so go ahead and try that."

(Student): *The Student's eyes flickered with a white hue before fully erupting into bright energies. The white hues resonated in their eyes as they turned their attention to some nearby peppermint growing upon some leaves. They'd begin communing for a moment as they exchanged passive emotions before passing over some thoughts: 'Hello... What... Are your properties..." The young Druid asked through communing*

(Teacher): **As the young Druid communed with the wild peppermint, It took a moment to understand his question before exchanging an answer: 'I... Help... With upset stomachs... Digestion and Nausea...'*

(Student): "This Peppermint could help with an upset stomach, digestion and nausea..." He'd say as he nodded his head, looking over to the Hummingbird Druid.*

(Teacher): "Good, now I would like for you to try and commune further with the peppermint, ask for it to change It's potency, to increase it. Allow for me to demonstrate for you" He'd say as his eyes ignited with marigold colored hues. He'd then focus upon another peppermint bush as he began communing with it.

(Teacher): **The Hummingbird Druid exchanged passive emotions and energies as he tried to notify it of his presence before requesting something of it: 'Hello... Could you... Increase your potency... Please?' He'd commune with the herb as he awaited for a response. After a few moments, the peppermint appeared to give a response to the Elder Druid's question: 'Yes... I shall try...'

(Teacher): **The Hummingbird Druid began supplying the Peppermint with his energy, enough for it to try and change the property that he requested for. Some of the marigold colored hues began forming in the Druids hand, flowing towards the plant as it seeped into It's form.*

(Teacher): **The Peppermint would have tried to complete the request given by the Hummingbird Druid as it increased It's potency, all of the changes being internal and thus not noticeable to the two Druids. However, a faint feeling was passed over to the Hummingbird Druid, signaling that the request was done.

(Teacher): **After a few more moments of the finalizing process, the peppermint would be fully completed with the request given. A light shimmering of marigold colored energy surrounding the herb as It signaled for the Druid to begin harvesting if desired, et cetera. The potency of the peppermint was increased.

(Teacher): "There we are, some of the Peppermint has completed my request of increasing It's potency. Such won't last long for someone like you who is learning, but in time you might be able to do it permanently" He'd say with a nod as the colored hues left his eyes. "Once done, you are able to harvest the plant and use it in whatever you wish, a tea brew, et cetera."

(Student): "Oh- Okay, I believe I understand now... I'll try"

(And now the student would do the same emotes as me and I'll try to help them OOCly if they need.)

Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

If one of my students Power-game during a lesson or after, I will be very understanding and have a talk with them going over all of the basics and asking them what might have confused them. Basically, I would make sure they know not to do it again and how to properly do the spell so they won’t get in trouble by ST if I’m not there. Secondly, I would go over all of the consequences of making such a mistake, Power-gaming does not get taken lightly on this server and It could result in terrible things, etc. I mainly will just be going over it all, giving advice, explain, etc and if they ever do it again, then I’ll take bigger actions.

The Hummingbird Druid began to feel the eerie pain of a fellow druid leaving this Realm and moving onto the next. His eyes filled with sadness as his brows creased, lips quivered, and head lowered. The feeling of a druid leaving this plane and heading onto the next, the Eternal Forest was no strange feeling to him. His head filled with few memories of others that have passed, his eyes welling up with tears before he shook his head. "N-No more crying. . . Hmm . . . I-I should go and try to find my Lari'onn. . . How is she doing now that he is gone for good?" And with that, he moved his sleeve to wipe away the tears forming in his eyes and swiftly moved off with no other word. He'd quickly make his way towards the Arvellon Seed Hall, seeking out Renae. A few words escaping from between his lips "Let the Aspects protect us and Guide us through these rough times. . ." 

Okayy!! We love some fresh and detailed bird lore and especially something as cool as Bokolo’s.

[!] The Hummingbird Druid called for a fast messenger dove to deliver his letter to the caravan. It would read:

"Greetings, Brother Aaliyah~

I would love to accompany you back to your lands, to help protect you from any possibly harm that threatens you on your journey back. It's been sometime since I have last adventured but, I'm still in good shape and prepared to go on another journey with others. I'm very skilled with a bow and close-ranged weaponry, I'm also an advanced combat medic and growing Druid, I believe all my abilities could come in handy. 

Please reach out to me if you are willing to have me,
Becclain Arvellon, the Hummingbird Druid~"

The Hummingbird Druid suddenly came to a stop at the entrance of the Seed Hall in the Glade of Siramenor, his mind began to fill with unease, sadness, and then anger. The melody of nature around him slowly dwindling down as it became silent, nature began mourning for a fallen Druid... Becclain would have felt a strong pain as he dropped to the floor, falling to a knee as his druidic stave landed beside him. He'd mutter a few words to himself "W-What's h-happening?... D-Did someone-..." He'd quickly fall silent as well before his eyes began welling up with tears. His expression shifted to something of great sadness as tears streamed down his face and fell to the wooden floor "N-No... No, no, no, It can't be!... N-No!..." He'd cry out as he moved his left hand to take hold of his stomach, clenching it a bit as he fell forward onto the ground, laying there as he wept. 

After quite sometime, the young Druid gathered himself as he pulled his form off of the Seed Hall's floor, going to sit upon the wilted tree inside of the structure. He'd drop himself with a loud thud as he continued to cry, his gaze fixed upon the wall in front of him as he appeared to be deep in his own memories. A few more words escaped from between his lips as he spoke in a rather shaky and uncertain tone "W-Why did you have to leave us... I-I know I shouldn't be selfish, but I needed you... W-We... We all needed you..." With another long pause, a Karin cat would have came dashing in, a letter held In It's mouth as It offered such to Becclain. With hesitation, he reached out and took the letter, looking to the cat with a nod of his head. He'd then open up the letter as he began reading it, his eyes filling with more tears as they obstructed his view of the words. "L-Lari'onn... I-I'm glad we all met and connected that day, you are all the best family I could ever wish for... D-Don't worry, I'll watch over you children with the other Ducklings... M-Maybe one day... One day we could meet again, I don't think I have much energy left myself.." He'd say with a raspy cough right after, quickly moving his hand to wipe his mouth and then tears. He'd just sit there, staring down at the letter before saying his last words to Syllia "A-Always and Forever, Dearest Lari'onn..."

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

Druid Communion

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

With Druidic Communion, It’s a gift that newly attuned Druids learn when they have proven ready by their Guide and thus connected to nature. Once they are connected, they are able to be taught all different ways of communicating and asking things of nature, whether it be to assist them in protecting the balance or even protecting themselves, It’s all possible. In addition, as the attuned Druid grows older and becomes more adept with their newfound abilities, their gifts become much stronger and easier to control. As they continue to grow, they might be able to learn other druidic gifts such as Blight Healing, Herblore, et cetera.

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

It depends on how you want to view this form of magic, but I would assume a lot of people would say that Druidism does in fact have some small subsections to it. For example, we have Communion, Control, and then Nature’s Infusion- Each of these subsects contributing to the player becoming a strong Druid in the end. The druidic gift of Communion/Commune allows for the druid to connect and speak with nature on a much deeper level than anyone else could. They are able to perceive, listen, and even speak with nature and natural creatures/animals. Next, we have the druidic gift of Control and while this gift has the word ‘Control’ in it, It does not actually entail you having complete control over nature and forcing it to do as you wish. This ability more so allows the newly attuned druid to ask or request nature to help you using your own energy, which could cause you to exhaust with too much use. Both Communion and Control work together in unison to allow the attuned druid to do well in their tasks to protect/assist the balance. Lastly, we have the druidic gift of Nature’s Infusion as this subsect is when a druid uses their own druidic energy, placing it within something, et cetera. This subsect covers things like Entlings, Powersharing, etc. 

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

**The large Evergreen Forest hummed with life all around as it was alive and surging with energy. The nature was a beautiful orchestra of music, playing an enchanting symphony for the attuned Druid to hear as it filled with ears, the sound of the joyous music forced a smile upon his features. The forest floor was littered with many fallen trees and overgrown roots that came out of the ground, causing a difficult path for anyone who might try wandering through. In addition, the sound of a strong running river could be heard not too far from the Druid.

*Becclain Arvellon would have continued his path through the forest as he wandered deeper and deeper through the woods before suddenly stopping near a small clearing. He’d lift his head as he fixed his gaze ahead and into the clearing, the sight of sunlight piercing through the thick canopy of leaves as he smirked. After a moment, the Druid continued on his way as he twirled a small seed between the fingers of his left hand. Once the Hummingbird Druid came to a good spot where the sunlight hit directly, he would have plopped down onto the ground and lowered his right hand down to begin digging into the ground, creating a small hole as he gently placed the seed into it before moving the dirt over it.

*Becclain Arvellon would have slowly crossed his legs as he adjusted his placement upon the bumpy terrain of the forest floor, both his hands resting flat upon the spot where the small seed had been buried. He’d close his eyes for a moment before opening them with a quick ignite of a bright marigold colored hue, resonating in his eyes as he fixed his gaze upon the spot. He’d appear to watch the spot as he tried to listen closely for Its faint voice.

**The Hummingbird Druid would have continued to focus his attention upon the small voice of the little seed as he slowly began closing his eyes. After a few moments, the attuned Druid was finally successful in connecting with the seed as he began exchanging thoughts, or vision of the seed growing. Becclain would have allowed his energy to flow from his hands and into the soil, soon meeting with the Seed as it helped it grow.

**As the Hummingbird Druid continued to commune and exchange energy with the seed, It would begin growing quickly. The tiny seed began breaking free as a stem formed, rising through the dirt before poking out of the soil a bit.

**The tiny seed continued to grow rapidly as the Druid poured his energy into it, the stem of the flower growing taller and reaching out of the dirt much more.

*Becclain Arvellon would have continued pouring his energy into the seed/growing flower before stopping as It was completely done and fully grown now. It appeared to be a small red tulip, It’s elegant form flowing gently in the wind as the Druid assisted in its development. He’d let out a heavy sigh before going to push himself up, his colored hue slowly fading from his eyes as he disconnected. He’d then lightly dip his head towards the flower before moving off.

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

Becclain Arvellon (Teacher): “Karin’ayla llir, are you ready for us to begin with your very first lesson since attunement? It’s going to be a rather exciting yet tiring one, I do hope you are prepared for what is to come..” He’d say with a short nod before stepping towards the large sturdy oak tree, gently sitting down as he leaned his back up against its base. He’d then lay his Druidic Staff over his lap as he let out a small huff “Now, don’t be shy, come and sit across from me and I’ll explain further.”

(Student): “Mhm… Okay, I’m ready to begin, what are we doing anyway? Am I finally going to learn how to perceive nature?” He’d inquire before stepping closer and sitting down on the ground across from the older Druid. He’d then fold his hands as he placed them upon his lap, staying rather quiet as he hoped for the older Druid to explain.

(Teacher): “Alrighty… Ti, I’m going to be teaching you the first step towards learning how to understand and even speak with the flora and fauna around you. First, you must learn how to connect and perceive nature at the most basic level, and I’m here to make sure you do it properly… Now, let us begin by closing our eyes and starting to meditate.” He’d say with a light chuckle before he closed his eyes and began steadying his breathing. He’d appear to begin slowing his breathing down as he tried to shift himself into a calmer state of mind. “First, you want to close your mind and focus upon your inner self, you should feel a new sensation or hum somewhere in the back of your mind. I want you to focus upon that and pull it forward”

(Student): “O-Okay… Of course” He’d say before going to slowly close his eyes as he inhaled deeply before exhaling. He’d begin trying to steady his breathing much like Becclain whilst trying to shift his focus upon the small resonating hum in the back of his mind, attempting to grasp at it and pull it forward.*

(Teacher): “R-RIght… Once you find that hum and begin bringing it forward, you will continue to hold your focus upon it before releasing it. I want you to envision the hum becoming louder in the front of your mind as a new sensation is unlocked, like rushing water as it flows throughout your body..”

(Student): **The Student would continue to focus upon the hum in the back of his mind before grasping at it and trying to pull it to the front of his mind. It’d become much louder before suddenly the new sensation was unlocked, It wouldn’t be much like the other senses that a normal Descendant would have, It would feel a bit different yet similar. After such, the sensation began flowing throughout his body like rushing water as it sent shivers down his spine.

(Teacher): “Wonderful, you are doing just perfect, but now I want you to open your mind with that new sensation and try to listen to the nature around you. The subtle rustling of the leaves as wind shoots past it, the beautiful and harmonic chirping of the sparrows, and everything else in nature around us. Don’t try listening to it on a deep level, just hear It in nature and picture that in your mind.” He’d say as his eyes opened, peeking over at his Student as he watched him continue with the lesson*

(Teacher): **As both of the attuned Druids sat upon the lush grass underneath the large oak tree, they would feel the wind begin to pick up as it blew past them. The leaves above them rustling in the wind as the sound of birds chirping grew louder and the flap of their wings right before take-off begin to fill their ears. 

(Student): **The Student would have allowed his mind to open and listen to the sound of nature around them both, allowing it to fill his ears as the sensation flowed throughout his body. He’d appear to shift his focus upon the sound of the wind blowing past them, the sparrows chirping and flying off into the skies, et cetera.

(Teacher): “Now you could allow yourself to connect and your aura color to show, you could also open your eyes for this part” He’d add quickly before falling silent once more, allowing the student to continue.*

(Student): **The Student would have continued to allow the sensation to flow through his body like rushing water whilst focusing his mind upon the nature around him.

(Student): **After a few moments, the student would have quickly opened his eyes with an eruption of white energy as it began resonating from within his eyes.

**Once more, the nature around the two would be bustling and booming with energy as the wind continued to flow past them quickly, the birds above in the canopy of the tree chirping loudly, the sound of the wind shooting through the lush tall grass, etc. The Student would notice that only the first meter around him would actually be speaking so that he might understand them as a tiny flower in front of him said: “New one! New one! New one! Hello!” They appeared to be rather happy and excited from the presence of a new druid. 

(Teacher): “Right, now that you have formed your first connection, you are able to hear the nature around. You learning this will pose useful in the future when you need to speak or request things of nature, but why don’t you try introducing yourself to the flower in front of you.”

(Student): “O-Okay…” He’d say with a slight gulp before going to look down towards the tiny flower in front of him, leaning closer as he whispered an introduction as he was told “Hello… I’m um… A Druid” He’d say before moving back*

**The tiny flower would have stopped swaying back and forth before offering a response: ‘Oh- Hello!’ It’d simply say once more, though It wouldn’t be as comprehensible since this is just his first lesson. The voices of nature around him slowly going back to how they were prior.

(Teacher): *Becclain Arvellon would have let out a small chuckle before nodding his head “You may disconnect now, and apologies that you aren’t able to understand them as clearly. Just now they are happy to see a new Druid among nature, and our next lesson shall teach you more about how to understand and speak with them. Though, go get some rest as you might be exhausted right about now”

Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

If one of my students Power-game during a lesson or after, I will be very understanding and have a talk with them going over all of the basics and asking them what might have confused them. Basically, I would make sure they know not to do it again and how to properly do the spell so they won’t get in trouble by ST if I’m not there. Secondly, I would go over all of the consequences of making such a mistake, Power-gaming does not get taken lightly on this server and It could result in terrible things, etc. I mainly will just be going over it all, giving advice, explain, etc and if they ever do it again, then I’ll take bigger actions.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Sprites are extremely small winged creatures, approximately 6 to 10 inches tall, with a body structure that of a Descendant. They have some humanoid facial features but, their body is usually made up of plant or insect matter. They initially lived as either the extra parts of dead plants in the Fae Realm, or as the old Sprites who withdrew to the Fae Realm from the Mortal Realm. These Sprites could be forced from the Eternal Forest on the instance that they wander into a Fae Ring during the night of a full moon. Doing this forces and traps their spirit into the moral realm, while their previous form is discarded. Plant-matter and pieces of insects began to morph/bend towards them to shape their bodies, which were small and humanoid. Sprites can become much more intelligent than a bug or plant, understanding certain words in the language of the Descendants, sometimes even phrases, but can’t be fluent. For they have the mentality resembling that of a child, and enjoying mischief for their sense of trying to seek validation and approval from the Aspects. This is because they accept and blame themselves for being projected out from the Fae Realm and being now trapped in the Mortal Realm. Sprites can create reagents, and frequently deal with alchemists to aid. These regents relate to the realm that they originated from (Nightfall, Dayward, Twilight.) They must produce such a reagent willingly as killing one will not produce it. For Example,

Nightfall – Tears – Death x2, Dark x2, Poison x1, Silence x1

Dayward – Pixie Dust (Breath) – Life x2, Growth x2, Balance x1, Light x1

Twilight – Blood-Sap – Strength x2, Vigour x2, Rage x1, Rigidity x1

And, all reagents have the Earth and Aether signs.

Furthermore, a Sprite’s soul is not like a Descendants which results in them being unable to learn any form of magic. Blight, Voidal Magics, and Dark Magics affect Sprites strongly and are their weaknesses. Being Blighted will make the Sprite gradually shrivel and die, just fit for being healed by a druid using Blight Healing. Sprites can be crushed, stomped, burned, etc. The wings of a Sprite are fragile, holding the greater part of their blood. Whenever slaughtered, a Sprite's soul will reincarnated, making a structure like their past one, and recollections paving the way to their passing will be lost.

Sprites can exchange thoughts/emotions/images with druids, plants, and creatures on the off chance that they are inside a fifteen block radius, and with Descendants and touching/having contact. Though, this is burdening for the Descendant, and can leave them with a headache. Sprites can create a disturbing poison through their skin as a fog/mist. In the event that contact by a non-sprite is made with this fog, they would encounter outrageous bewilderment and discombobulation, enough to upset the projecting of a mage. This isn't deadly, nor altogether immobilizing. Two emotes are required to release the poison, and it will continue for one emote after.

         Human

Transformed form:

         Revenant (Phantom)

Creator's MC Name:

         TwistedFries

Creator's RP Name:

    N/A

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Origins: Revenants are Grey Phantoms that have just appeared from a unexpected, traumatic , or unlucky death/passing. A Revenant is only a temporary state as they do not have any recollection of their death or how they passed on to the next, only vague memories of the events leading up to it. Furthermore, after some time, the Revenant would then be transformed into a Poltergeist, a Graven, or a Specter- depending on how they accepted their fate and what they choose to do next with their new found state of being.

Physical Appearance: Revenants basically look the same as they did when they were alive, but with a grayish and transparent appearance to them, however, this is not controllable and may be at random. Additionally, even though they do not know about their death or passing, they might have details giving a hint at such- For example, if a Revenant died from a stabbing, they might have the wound on them still along with features of blood loss, et cetera. Lastly, their voices are heard as distant or shallow.

Mentality: Revenants are more so confused compared to any other Phantom because of the fact that they don’t yet understand how they died or what they are officially. They often have various mental illnesses caused by the traumatic experience of death whilst this leads them to be more irritable and saddened. A Revenant may also act as if everything is normal and nothing has changed, still not understand exactly what they are or what happened until some time after.

Pain Response and Regeneration: Revenants are very vulnerable of all Phantoms, because of their ectoplasmic bodies and minds alike are yet to become stable enough. They lack the ability to even turn themselves physical which leads them to be unable to be harmed by mundane/normal weaponry. Though, Aurum or Voidal Magic will cause severe damage to them. Basically, they have low pain tolerance and being exposed to pain might throw them into an array of emotions and if a Revenant has non-fatal injuries, it would take about two months IRP for them to fully regenerate like a lost limb or deep cut.

Abilities: Revenants do not have much abilities due to them being newly created and still in a state of confusion. Though, they have about three abilities at their disposal- For example, they have Phantasmal which means they cannot affect the world around them and the world can’t affect them. Though, they are still bound to the laws of the world and they are able to levitate since they weigh as much as air, and etc. They also have an ability called Dematerialize, which means they are still bound to the physical word yet has some abilities from the within the Eylysian. They can materialize and then vanish in front of people. Whilst vanished, their negative aura compressed slightly to a three-meter radius as opposed to five. However, due to their still significant ties to the physical realm, they are unable to fade within the sight of a mortal. Once they are invisible they are fine, but if they get damaged while in this form, they are forced to manifest themselves. Lastly, they have Weak Grasp which basically means they are able to interact with the world in some ways. They are able to move things around and such with Telekenisis, though this is weak and very difficult for them. They are really only able to slowly close doors and put out the flame on a lamp or a candle.

Becclain Arvellon's eyes drifted to the horizon, as he watched with an unwavering gaze, as the brilliant orb of amber and tangerine sunk lower and lower in the sky until it dipped down into the horizon,  painting the sky shades of red and pink. Becclain would have begun to dash through the woods, leaping over narrow winding creaks and the slippery rocks. He hurried past rotting oak trees and under lowered and snapped branches. He'd continue to venture deep into the birch forest outside of the nearby trade state of Sutica, following Skylar at a quick pace before they finally stopped. 

Skylar Taliame'onn reached into his satchel and pulled out a leather bag and a waterskin. Skylar handed both over. "You will drink and eat all of these contents. In your final trial, you will face visions that you will learn from heavily. Face them and find your way home." He would have then stood in place waiting for Becclain to drink and eat the contents of both items. 

Becclain Arvellon would have gently nodded his head as he stepped forward slightly. He'd then move his gaze down to the leather bag and the waterskin as he extended both his hands out to take the items "O-Oh... Alright." After a few moments, he would have brought himself to eat and drink the contents of both items before finishing and using his hand to wipe his mouth. He'd then glance to Skylar as he nodded his head. "O-Okay"

[!]The mushrooms tasted like mushrooms obviously, and the liquid was quite nutty and slightly unpleasant. "Good luck, Aspects, and Mani bless. I'll see you back at Siramenor.” And with that, Skylar wandered off back towards the Mali’ame Village of Siramenor.

Becclain Arvellon would have then glanced around at his surroundings as he let out a heavy sigh. The heavy dose of psychedelic mushrooms + LSA extract slowly was going into full effect as he began panting heavily. His vision faded in and out as he appeared to be thrown into a dazed state for the moment. After some time,  Becclain started losing touch with reality and slipping into a dream-like state. It appeared he was still in the birch forest, but something was strongly off. The weather around him was very warm yet it gave him a feeling of freshness and nothing more, the moon gave off vivid colors whilst everything around him was radiating with brilliant and glowing hues. The air around him looked crystal clear and the stars sparkled brighter more than any other time he had experienced. The experience seemed to be something truly magical and amazing, however, after some time the affects became enhanced and stronger.

Becclain Arvellon would have begun to wander around the area as he used his arms to push against any nearby trees, trying to support himself. His hallucinations were getting progressively less amusing as the scenery shifted from the magical and amazing sights to something much darker and frightening. Furthermore, the unpredictability of the experience due to the effects of the items he had eaten and drunken, caused him to lose his sense of understanding of the world around him. However, Becclain decided to try and push through the effects in order to complete the final task of his Priesthood. His eyes scanned the forest floor as he tried to figure out the path from where he came from as to take that back home to the Village.

After some time searching, Becclain would have finally found a few broken branches or twigs on the ground, just nearby would appear to be footmarks and other details showing someone has passed through here. He’d then slowly begin to follow the path as he tried to glance around at his surroundings, trying to understand where he is, however it didn’t work. He simply continued to follow the details or tracks left behind from when they made way into the forest before stopping. In the distance, he heard a few crackling or breaking from the vegetation around him as he stepped back slowly. “W-Wo…” He’d mutter through coherent sentences that were difficult for him in this state.

[!]A small-sized boar trots with the fierce presence of that of a larger animal as he slammed its hooves into the ground, marking its territory that Becclain seemed to have trespassed into. After a few moments, the boar would begin to release a few loud screeches to try and scare the Mali’tal.

Upon Becclain Arvellon’s visage appeared to be an expression of fear as his jaw dropped at the sight of the boar. He’d then try to dash away without hesitation as to avoid the boar. Though, his current state caused him to trip and collapse onto the ground. He quickly turned onto his back as he reached to his hip to unsheath his hunting dagger.

[!]The small-sized boar would have begun to run towards the now fallen Becclain as it tried to ram into him with great strength. The boar appeared to have gone wild as it tried to protect its territory.

Becclain would have then attempted to push himself up into a standing position as to have a higher stance against the boar. He’d tighten his grip upon the handle of the dagger as he readied the weapon in his hand. He would simply wait for the boar to come charging closer before swinging around to stab it into the side of the boar, and once that would have happened he would then pull down the blade. After such, he would have continuously stabbed the boar in the side a few more times before it finally stopped moving.

After a few moments, Becclain would have looked around as he tried to see if anything else was lurking in the shadows of the forest, however, nothing showed up. He would have then moved around to figure out his path once more. Afterward, he would have luckily found the path back towards Siramenor as he followed that.
