It's a decently-lit up forest village, recently took over by the wandering contagion. The community is small, with loose social links, but it tends to grow slowly. Most dragons living there will gladly welcome strangers. Simply be careful with the thick brambles over there, and don’t step on the lightning bugs.[/size][/columns] ----- [columns=3][size=3.5][b]Intro & Notes[/b] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [nextcol][b]i.

Overview[/b] [/color][/font][/size] [map x=2238 y=1746 view=land width=480 height=240]Right at the edge of Driftwood Drag, and freshly caught into the Wandering Contagion. One of the many tributaries of the delta passes there and throws itself in the sea at South.[/map] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [size=2.5]Little Ivywood is not a “clan”, strictly speaking. It’s more of a little town, where various dragons pass by. A few of them stick around and build their den on that territory. Others spend a night or two, and continue on their journey around Sornieth. Several townspeople technically live there, but travel a lot and are only occasionally around. In any case, the small community of Little Ivywood seems to be thriving !! The town doesn’t really have a mighty façade or anything like that. However, you will be greeted by a thick wood sign on every entrance. Some brambles and roses grow around it, and the wood panel is carved and reads “Welcome to Little Ivywood”. Behind these signs, the place is cleared out of a few trees and obstacles. That way, it’s much easier to move around. It also offers a much enjoyable view of the village !! A river runs through Little Ivytown. It comes from the Driftwood Drag, and following it to the South/East leads to the Sea of a Thousand Currents’ shores. Everyone living here has their own home. While the overall is rather harmonious (everyone has access to the same kind of building materials from Tangled Woods and the Scarred Wasteland), the dragons of the community build their den however they please, and each and every single of them is different. Since the place is rather isolated, but probably also just because inhabitants are not that interested in technology… They live in a quite traditional way. There’s not a lot of machinery around here, and it seems esoterism and magic are the commonly chosen path for most townspeople. Besides, Little Ivywood is known for its abundant lightning bugs population. The town has recently been caught into the Wandering Contagion, and it's now part of the Plague region: yet lightning bugs are still to be found. Their number decreased, but remains impressive.

The forge is massive so that the imperial can work comfortably. The old blacksmith, who took Winnifred as his apprentice, is not working here anymore. Most forged creations from Little Ivywood are shipped all around Sornieth. It’s not a huge enterprise, but Winnifred is starting to get well-known in the field for the beauty of her creations.[/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lPhcfxy.png[/img][/center] [columns=2][right][size=5][font=garamond][b]The Warlock Boutique[/b][/font][/size] [size=3.5]No matter how small and ordinary looking the shop is, Fuego’s services as a warlock are well established. While he’s not necessarily well-known around the world, there are a lot of rumors speaking of his powers. His reputation precedes him around Little Ivytown. The wildclaw offers magical services, and he tries his best to assist whoever asks for his help. He also serves as a town healer with his apprentice, Samedi. Speaking of apprenticeship… Don’t hesitate to ask. He often makes it sound like he’s looking for more pupils.[/right] [nextcol][color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftext[/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/79jqCpn.png[/img] [/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lPhcfxy.png[/img][/center] [columns=2][img]https://i.imgur.com/sC3e6lo.png[/img] [nextcol][size=5][font=garamond][b]The Library[/b][/font][/size] [size=3.5]The library of Little Ivytown is not a place solely dedicated to books, but to any knowledge in general. Martial art, forge, alchemy and the such are prohibited within the building (for obvious reason), but any other scholar would probably find what they’re looking for here ! So far, Eternum holds the key. The guardian cartographer and astronomist welcomes other dragons among the bookshelves. He takes care of the library an its treasure, and even though he’s never worded it clearly, it’s very obvious that the place itself is his Charge. It’s not a huge library, far from being out of the norm, but it’s growing really slowly. It’s not uncommon to send adventurers gather some more knowledge to fill the shelves.

For this reason, an observatory has been built on the Library’s roof. It’s not the best, but not the worst either. The scholars of the Observatory are actively working on improving the place ! And despite the lack of high-quality tools, the sky-maps produced here are probably some of the best in this part of Sornieth.[/right] [nextcol] [img]https://i.imgur.com/bjYVWUA.png[/img] [/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lPhcfxy.png[/img][/center] [columns=2][img]https://i.imgur.com/Wp7ZjYA.png[/img] [nextcol][size=5][font=garamond][b]The Shelter[/b][/font][/size] [size=3.5]Little Ivywood has a place for anyone in need of a room to stay the night or to recover from their travels. This tavern-like place is built on the edge of the river passing through town. There is a small, gravel shore in front of the entrance. With the netting hung above the doors and windows, it’s easy to guess that the building used to be the old fishermen’s place. Swift and Eros are the caretakers of the place. Peep, the administrator, welcomes people in and introduces them to the place before they get to their room. Finally, the young maid, Mist, tends for the place. It’s a small business, but it’s running decently. The familial atmosphere is definitely pleasant.

But in any case, that’s the place to go if you’re looking for an adventurer. Every fighter registered here is available for hire, in case you need a soldier or a bounty hunter. It’s probably best to mention than said adventurers are rarely in town… Except for Voula. She handles most of “paperwork” here, even though the guild isn’t exactly a formal organization.

[i]“Tourist Office – Ring the bell, a tour guide will show up (if you’re lucky)”[/i]. Most townspeople giggle with amusement when asked about it. Others just sigh, and suggest you to ignore it. In any case, whatever kind of business run here looks shady as hell.

Apparently, the Forge was one the first elements of the town, along with a lantern shop. The old blacksmith cleared out the place to settle his workplace. His lantern-maker fellow and Grand opened their shop as well. Very slowly, other dragons began settling in this new place, that was starting to be called the Ivywood Town. Time passed, and with-it different travelers and residents. The village was favorable for dragons to build their homes. This tiny hamlet was starting to be called a town. Little Ivywood was born, and the wooden sign at the entrance just got planted ! [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/PssaSlg.png[/img][/center] [/columns] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lPhcfxy.png[/img][/center] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [quote] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color] [size=3.5]The Forge’s hammers put an end to their daily symphony a moment ago. The young apprentice just put off her mask, she was cleaning the place. Truth to be told, this young woman made incredible progress in the past few months. Even though she lacked confidence for now, she was incredibly skilled and mature, and had fully unveiled her potential a while ago already. The old blacksmith brushed his beard with the tip of his claws. [i]“Winnifred, could you give me a moment ?”[/i] he asked. The youngster stopped cleaning, giving him an intrigued look. [i]“Sure ! What’s going on, master ?” [/i] He chuckled with amusement and leaned back more comfortably. [i]“Well, firstly, you will have to stop calling me that. You surpassed the apprenticeship level long ago, Winni. We’re not mentor and apprentice anymore. You deserve the title of master blacksmith just as much as me.”[/i] She gasped, and started smiling wide-open. [i]“Is this for real ?? Are we done with my tutoring ?? Am I a real blacksmith ??” [/i]she asked with mere excitement. [i]“You still have much to learn, but it will not come from me. I taught you everything I know. We’re both “real blacksmith” now!”[/i] He pause. [i]“ I don’t only have good news, however.”[/i] The young imperial calmed down, looking deep into her mentor’s eyes. As the silence got louder, she looked down at the Forge's ground. She knew what was happening, and she wouldn’t stop it: it saddened her, obviously, but she accepted it long ago. She just wished it wouldn't arrive so soon. [i]“When are you leaving Little Ivytown ?...”[/i] she asked with a tiny voice. The old guardian smiled at her softly, and pushed his forehead against hers in a comforting gesture. [i]“In a few day at most. My luminous protégé needs to leave. Their destinity is calling them elsewhere.”[/i] Winnifred closed her eyes. She knew her mentor couldn’t simply abandon his charge. [i]“Will you ever come back ?”[/i] The forgemaster softly pulled away from her with a gentle expression. [i]“Only the future can tell.”[/i] He looked at the young blacksmith with a burning flame in his eyes: The pride of a mentor witnessing how far their student went. Winnifred was a skilled artisan, a strong young woman, and she had a kind heart. It’s true she was not his charge: still he knew she would always be another of his protégés. [i]“Thank you for everything, Winni. I’m proud I had the chance to teach you my art, and I’m glad you could teach me so much in return. I know this Forge has fantastic days to come, with you as its master.”[/i] He said. She didn’t answer and bit her inner cheek with emotion as he spoke. It was scary, but she couldn’t help but feel carried by the trust he put in her. [i]“Even if I never come back, I will always keep you in my heart like a daughter. You were a great event of my story.”[/i] The old man smiled as the youngster bumped her head against his neck. [i]“Your light shines much brighter than you imagine, Winnifred.”[/i] [color=transparent]tisalilbitoftexttomakeitwörkfill[/color][/quote] [size=7][font=garamond][color=maroon][b]v.

She just ran back into their boutique to discuss the new. It was definitely a huge thing, and the Wildclaw would more likely be glad to know about it. Her mentor was drawing cards with a relaxed, yet mysterious smile. [i]“The other-worldly scream, you mean ? Or the new that provoked it ?”[/i] he chuckled. The Nocture sat in front of the warlock. They both noticed a change in Little Ivywood's air. It’s been a while now. Each passing day, they could sense something coming. More recently, the flora evolved. The lightning bugs disappeared: at least enough of them for it to be noticeable for locals. He kept shuffling his deck and drawing from it. Samedi was vibrating in anticipation. After long minutes, he put away the cards one by one. He showed the three last ones to the young woman, tapping on the figures with the tip of his clawed finger. The younger one observed the draw.[i] “Upright fool and hanged man, and reversed temperance.”[/i] she described. The warlock grinned. [i]“Well then! I can only guess our first plague-eyed hatchling is born.”[/i] [center]* * *[/center] [i]“So we’re in Plague now ?”[/i] Samedi asked. She sipped on the cup of tea Fuego just served her. The Wildclaw chewed on a piece of meat before he answered. [i]“It looks like it, indeed. The Wandering Contagion finally got Little Ivywood.”[/i] The bat-like dragon nodded, with a worried expression. [i]“That’s awful. What are we going to do ?”[/i] He smiled to her with a playful expression. [i]“Is it really ? Why would it be that bad ?”[/i] He paused. [i]“The town’s faith in the Shadowbinder is not stronger than in any other deities. People from all regions and flights live in Little Ivywood.”[/i] She opened her mouth but didn’t add anything. She thought about it more. He wasn’t wrong. [i]“But how about the Hoteliers ?”[/i] she finally asked. If anyone was going to be horrified, it was probably them.[i] “Well, they will probably be noisy about it, but we can’t know for sure. It’s true the cards told us about discord, though.”[/i] He took a sip of his drink, while his apprentice stared at him with eyes wide-open. Things were probably about to change downtown, maybe in unsuspected ways.

Pinglist: @TheAwesoMew (+ @Aversi because that's the baby you gifted me with the lore snippet <3) [center][size=3.5][i][b]November 2020[/b][/i][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/PpBM5cS.png[/img][/center] Enjorren absent-mindedly bumped his forehead against Napoleon's wide shoulder. The Guardian picked down his pace, letting the legionnaire rest against his cuirass with a thin smile. [color=green]"Well? What's up, is our almighty and invincible warrior tired, now? I thought you were more resourceful than that..."[/color] snickered the alchemist. The Skydancer grunted and hit his head against his companion's neck as a sole answer. [color=maroon]"Certainly not. I'm barely fatigued. Stop annoying me, Napoleon. I went out of my way to see you. If anything, you should be grateful."[/color] The big lad chuckled. [color=green]"Of course. I apologize for my misbehaving, sir. I should have known better."[/color] Enjorren glared at his companion with a cold expression. He then stood up on his back legs, climbed the Guardian's shoulder, and kissed his cheek. Napoleon let out a hoarse purr, and gave his acolyte a moment before he softly pushed him against the forest ground. He spread his wing on top of the Skydancer and laid down against him. Under the cover of the Guardian's wide wing, the mercenary relaxed and cuddled up against his playmate's chest. He let out a long sigh. [color=maroon]"Any plan today? Anything specific you want to do?"[/color] The alchemist grinned silently, staring at the other. Enjorren, for once, smirked back at him. He rolled on his back as the cuirassed beast started nuzzling his cheek and neck. The Skydancer closed his eyes, and let go as his companion dropped soft kisses on his face and neck. He let his brain loose and allowed himself to relax some. [color=green]"Ah, you're doing the puddle thing once more. For how long have you gone so tensed up again?"[/color] Napoleon chuckled, but his voice remained pretty soft. [color=maroon]"Hmm. Just let me chill out. I might even compliment you if you shut up."[/color] The Guardian nodded solemnly and kept cuddling his pal. Suddenly, the Skydancer grabbed his carebear's snout to stop him, and started straightening up. [color=maroon]"Hold on. Hold on. There's something."[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/0qzUb5m.png[/img][/center] The big lad booped Enjorren's neck just under the jawline, with a 'come on, there's nothing' look. The knight didn't let go of him though, and started standing back up. [color=maroon]"No Nap'! There's something."[/color] The two of them stood back up, Napoleon inspecting the surroundings as Enjorren's antennas twitched softly. The Skydancer started walking into a thicker part of Little Ivywood's sparse forest. The Guardian followed calmly. Soon enough, he sensed something as well, and the eerie green smokes twirling around his claws started glowing some more. The two dragons looked around for a moment before Enjorren pulled out a soft leather bag from between an old pine's roots. [color=maroon]"What is this."[/color] Napoleon approached, and looked over the Skydancer's shoulder. [color=green]"Well. It's a baby. You can tell because it's shaped like a dragon, but extremely small."[/color] The mercenary turned back at the alchemist with a judgmental and horrified look. [color=green]"My analysis is irrevocable."[/color] added the big boy. [color=maroon]"Why is there a baby here? Why is it [i]alone[/i]?"[/color] He poked the bag with no specific care or gentleness. The tiny fae didn't even flinch, but the Guardian did pull the bag into his own claws, far from Enjorren's lack of caution. [color=maroon]"Is it dead, Napoleon?"[/color] The respondent inspected the hatchling, took a few moments. [color=green]"Not yet."[/color] He could sense broken souls, and this one wasn't broken quite yet. He picked up the note tucked inside the bag and gave it a careful look, front and back, before he handed it to Enjorren. [color=green]"And that's your answer to why is there a baby alone in the middle of the forest."[/color] [center][i]"Please, give her a home. We will not be coming back."[/i][/center] The Skydancer read the note once, then twice. He read it a third time, out loud. Napoleon kept inspecting the tiny Fae, slowly figuring out the spell she was put under. When he looked back at Enjorren, the Skydancer was glaring at him with all of his feathers puffed up. [color=Maroon]"I refuse, Napoleon."[/color] [color=green]"Babe! I didn't even say anything. Besides, of course you refuse. I know you and your tough boy evil edgelord thing. That's what makes you so charming."[/color] The Skydancer chirped aggressively. [color=maroon]"First of all, it's not a [i]tough boy evil edgelord[/i] thing?? I AM tough and powerful and I don't plan on waiting for the whole world to catch up."[/color] He kept chirping. [color=green]"Of course. Yes."[/color] agreed Napoleon with a serious expression, but something that made it clear he was being sarcastic. [color=maroon]"Second of all, none of us is qualified to-"[/color] The Guardian grinned. [color=green]"AH! So you did think about it."[/color] The soldier glared at it companion again, and sighed with spite. [color=maroon]"Fine. What now? We head back to Little Ivywood?"[/color] The alchemist nodded with a big smile, and a lot of enthusiasm. [color=green]"Yup! I need Fuego's help to undo the spell she's put under anyway. Then we improvise. I know you're great at improvising. I've never seen a dragon as resourceful and determined as you."[/color] Enjorren calmed down a bit. [color=maroon]"Flattery will get you everywhere. Only because you're a good looking fellow."[/color] He glanced back at the tiny hatchling that Napoleon was so carefully holding in his claws. [color=maroon]"Where is your lack of morals and honor?"[/color] The guardian laughed loudly. [color=green]"Enj'! She's roughly the size of a cabbage, and unconscious. I'll wait for her to be at least the size of a cat, and awake. C'mon, follow up."[/color] He started walking back to town, smiling at the Skydancer. [color=green]"Besides, you seemed to like my occasional loving and gentle behavior earlier. If you can't handle me at my 'not letting abandoned babies die alone in the dark' soft, then you don't deserve me at my 'kissing and cuddling my fav himbo until he's a puddle with wings' soft."[/color] He winked at said fav himbo, and nuzzled his cheek as he joined him on the way back to Little Ivywood.

The rhythmic thud of heavy drops falling on the stone flooring resonates within the depth of the building. In the middle of the night, Eternum wakes up. The echoing noise is not the only thing he hears: a growing buzz is taking place into his skull. Not a painful one, no. But a clear sign of arcane energy pulsating in the near. The Guardian closes his magenta eyes again as he stands up and calmly walk to the back of the Library. [center]***[/center] [i](plip)[/i] She lifts her head up, pointing her snout as the ceiling. [i](plip)[/i] She doesn't see it now, but she's being the witness of a much more fascinating vision. [i](plop)[/i] She runs her claws along the old paper of the manuscript she was studying. As her fingers stroke the fiber, new patterns emerge. [i](plip)[/i] A tapestry of energy and breath shimmers behind her eyes. She focuses some more, picking apart its threads to better understand the weaving process. She's not expecting to get it, quite the opposite in fact. But she wants to try, to analyze this view she can't see through the pitch-black veil obscuring her view. [i](plop)[/i] It's a thick, dark, liquidy thing spun into fabric. She softly taps on her Shadow runestone with the tip of her claws, she blindly gazes into something that has no shape. The tapestry is undulating, its threads extend in every direction. Like veins in her body, the fabric stretches into every limb of its vessel. [i](plip)[/i] She can sense it reaching toward Crystalspine Reaches from the Obscured Crescent. Flowing toward Cairnstone Rest or Hewn City... each and every place of Sornieth. Not that it means much, it's no big news that Magic and Breath of every element flows through the continent. But what a sight! It's getting darker. She can feel her eyes getting heavier and heavier as her current blindness remains. It's thicker and goo-ier. She leans her snout back downward [i](slosh)[/i] and closes her eyes as the excess darkness slumps on the stone ground. In the cozy calm of the room, she can hear Eternum softly pushing the door open. Persephone opens her eyes again, looking at her mentor with a calm but enthusiastic smile. [color=royalblue]"Eternum! I think I managed to do something cool. I understood how to do it."[/color] The old Guardian smiles back at her. [color=magenta]"Oh! Well, that's good news. What did you uncover?"[/color] He pulls out a tissue, and hands it to the young Imperial. She wipes the excess shadow sludges from her eyes out of her face. [color=royalblue]"I couldn't explain right now. But it feels like unlocking something out of me that I didn't manage to access yet."[/color] He nods and gestured toward her tearing eyes. [color=magenta]"It's not looking the same as usual. 'Looks like you won't manage to fully get rid of the excess this time..."[/color] She chuckled. [color=royalblue]"That's fine! I think the flow is settling that way. I much rather have it constant and manageable, than outbursts of weird-ass black eyes goo that I can't control."[/color] [img]https://s3.postimg.cc/pjfcgkmwj/big-divider.png[/img]

This is a very neat piece of lore! I especially like how the dripping sounds break up the vision :0
