Whoops, sorry about the lack of ping! Little distracted today. Lore, of course! Form below!
Order form: LORE
Lore type: Prose
Lore length: Minimum 1k but I'm flexible beyond that! If it wanders up to 2k, 3k, so be it, whatever flows smoothly for you! My vault is prepared.
Link to dragon/s:
Personality of dragon/s: Of the two Araila is the more straightforward one, and the more charismatic. Not in the sense of being buddy buddy with everyone, but more in the sense that she can deliver a stirring speech and persuade others to see her point of view. Charisma of leadership, if you will. Her dedication to the Lightweaver is absolute, and in times of peace, her primary goal is to train the paladins and sages of the Luminaries so that they will be capable should that peace come to an end.
Mahavi, meanwhile, is the soft-spoken type. He holds equal footing with her, also a Justice of the Order, but he prefers to operate in libraries and laboratories instead of battlefields and training halls. His strengths lie in his observant, patient nature, and his readiness to delve deep into research that might deter others from even beginning. He is not short on courage if required, but prefers to avoid conflict rather than to resolve it whenever possible. This does not, however, mean that he is a pushover. He simply chooses to navigate the path of least resistance so that he might put his time and effort to more efficient uses.
Lore info: In their bios, I've mentioned briefly that the greater Order Radiant expects Araila and Mahavi to wed and produce Scions. Out of lore, I don't breed my G1s (except my progens), so that's not going to happen. In lore, they respect one another but have zero interest on a romantic level. The pressure from the Order is immense, and the consequences could lead to serious changes on Ilse Heliodoros, especially if the Order knew they were intentionally delaying what's expected of them.
If anything, I'd like to see a story about them working together to deflect the Order's concerns and ultimately becoming better friends, though still strictly non-romantic in nature. Ways they've delayed a public ceremony, whether legitimate or purposely engineered, and ways they navigate their leadership on the Isle as well. You're totally free to include anyone from the Luminaries tab in supporting roles, including those without a bio (just ask, I have plans for all of them even if they're not written up yet!), and I do like the idea of at least one of the two Justices having a romantic relationship with someone else. Araila, I think, would be the more likely of the two to tread that path. (Also, the general bittersweet nature of a forbidden romance with parameters like these is my bread and butter. I like my romance flavored with a little bit of angst at the end of the day lol.)
Also, please don't feel the need to justify the Order's expectations! I've written the Luminaries to be at once an exemplar of the Order's values
and a small segment coming into its own, realizing that perhaps the interests of the Order are not entirely as good and moral as popularly believed. There's no cut and dry good or bad, but rather a blend of things perceived by a blend of dragons, to mixed effect. We like it morally gray over here when you start to dig.
