Dragon Prince Books: MagicI have decided to open a Patrion! It is still in development, but since I have been doing this for 900 posts, I figured I would at least try it out. There is only 1 $1 tier, and it just gives you early access to my work by a few hours.Link to Patron here: https://patreon.com/user?u=10132890&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkGeneralCallum’s spell book: Long ago, mages used rituals to capture primal energy and contain it inside powerful orbs. They are extremely rare, and the magic to make them has been forgotten.When casting primal energy, you have to focus it by drawing the rune in the air, and then release it by saying the corresponding draconic word.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: There are myths and legends of human mages once upon a time, but most humans believe they are just stories.Almost all the natural magic has vanished from the western part of Xadia.Ocean magic is in both the dew on spring flowers and the crushing swell of the tides. The sun a raging inferno and a candle’s flame in the dark, the Earth a tree’s deepest roots and a mountain’s highest peak.Primal magic can be mastered by studding and nurturing their bond to their sources. The most powerful mages are called archmages, an honor that can take a lifetime to earn.The unicorn Leola, unique among her own rare kind, granted humans “the language of the dragons and the runes that shaped spells.” Unknown if this means she granted humans the ability to forge a connection though hard work or if she gave them primal stones.Primal Stones are rare and only accomplished archmages know how to make them.Mage characters only know a small number of spells, but they can also cast minor flourishes of magic related to the primal source, simple spells that any mage knows by heart. these can’t do more than what simple basic equipment might accomplish.To cast the spell, you need access to a primal source, knowledge of the correct runes/spoken draconic words, and a visible line of sight to whatever target or location you want. For Elves, you just have to be near the primal source of the arcanum. If you have a primal stone or expend a charge from a item charged with the primal magic, you don’t even need proximity.Once cast, the spell is immediate. Inexperience, haste, or other distractions can create problems from the spell failing to unexpected consequences. You can’t hide that you cast a spell.MoonCallum’s Spell Book: it is all about the spirit and energy of the moon, including an “out of this world” feeling. It gets weaker or stronger depending on the phase of the moon, with it being strongest during a full moon. It’s arcanum is about “understanding the relationship between appearance and reality.” Words associated with this include illusion, love, charm, private, deep, secrets, manipulation, death, reflection, appearances, and duality.Art Book: The moon archanum is about reflections, phases, and dualities: truth and lies. Life and death reality and illusions. Moon magic is strongest during the full moon and weakest during the new. Most are illusionists, sight and sounds are easier to mess with than taste and touch. In places where the energies are highly concentrated, the veil between life and death can thin, allowing the living and the dead to see each other. Mages can conjure flickers of the past, restless spirits can be put to rest, and the living can bid final farewells to the lost.Those connected to the moon arcanum don’t trust easily, with moonshadow elves placing deep value in oaths and blood promises, knowing that trust and perception are easily manipulated.Through the Moon: The ritual done during the new moon to bring moon pheonix’s back involves placing the feather in the waters of the nexus and letting it float into the middle while the mage and friends hold hands and talk about the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The feather will then turn into a egg that is then cracked open to let the baby phoenix out.During the full moon, the moon nexus can become a portal to a place between life and death that was used to grant people closer. It was used rarely and is extremely dangerous, due to the souls you share a connection with (positive or negative) being drawn to them. There is also the chance you can get lost and trapped. You need the Moonhenge to do it. the spell to open it is “Mors Aperta.” The Moonhenge was repaired by just putting a few pieces back into place and straightening some of the pillars in one night, but it immediately fell apart after Callum cast the spell. When using the portal, you have to go into the Nexus’s Lake, where your body goes into a trance and floats while your spirits go into the other side. The portal closes at sunrise, and if you don’t return to your body you will be trapped there forever. That will also happen if you remove the body before the mind enters it again.-the other side looks similar to the real world, but the moon nexus is in pristine condition. When traveling there, Rayla seems to teleported from place to place based on the world’s whims. If you hold onto a moon phoenix feather when going into it, it will keep you tethered and make it easier for you to return. You can do sky magic there.Bloodmoon Huntress: The harvest moon is the full moon that happens once a year, where moon magic is at its peak. Elves like Ethrin prep to enchant every item they can during this time so they will be as effective as possible. It is also called the blood moon. The moonshadow forest is always more powerful during this night. The Silvergrove’s magic keeps them safe normally, but on this night the line between reality and illusion blurs and the woods become dangerous even to the moonshadow elves. The only ones who go out are Runnan and his crew, and they go out in their moonshadow forms to keep them safe.-during the night, all the kids are gathered in one place and kept under guard under the guise of a party. It is called the bonbon fires, and the kids are given extra treats, scary stories, and games all night long.-according to stories the kids tell each other, the bloodmoon huntress is a witch that can disappear and reappear miles away, who hunts people down at the peak of the blood moon and sucks your blood and turns you into a mindless squallwing. The stories also say she grinds their bones into biscuits. She turned invisible the night before a full moon and kidnaped a group of skywing elves to drain of their blood during the harvest moon and store them in vales to drink later. After drinking a veil, her veins began to glow. She was going to say “morte ad vitam-“ when she slit someone throat to drain them, but we didn’t hear the whole thing. She was called Kimdael by Runnan, who said he read about her. She was shown teleporting, extending her nails into claws, and firing dagger like projectiles. She was surprised to have been injured by Etrin’s enchanted arrow, meaning that only incredibly strong magic can harm her. After being injured she disappeared, and Runnan said that a year without her source will leave her weak and that she wouldn’t show her face again until she gathers her strength again. Her alter was smashed by Rayla to slow her down even more.Ethrin is prepping to make a special arrow with gems in it so it can pierce magical armor, it was enchanted with the words “Lumen Terebramus Acuto.” He made two mechanical mice he called wingalings that he enchanted by saying “Liga Et Annecto”, when one is activated both will start glowing.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Moon: to know the ever-shifting power of the Moon is to be in touch with elements of illusion, mischief, duality, serenity, and subterfuge.This arcanum is most powerful when the moon is full and weakest when it is new. Those that draw upon its power are changeable by nature. Its power lies in the line between shadow and light, truth and reality, beginning and end. Moon magic is possible during the day time.Symbol: it can be found at places consecrated to the moon and on talismans empowered by moon magic.Arcanum: Creatures connected to it include Moonshadow elves, eyeless snakes, and moon phoenixes. Users have an aptitude for stealth, trickery, and concealment. Their affinity deals with the nature of perception, the fact that you can only truly know the appearance itself of someone or thing.Primal Stone: A primal stone of the moon has a moonbeam trapped within it, a silvery light that dances with shadows. Those using it can weave powerful illusions, reveal the truth of the past, and call across the barrier between life and death to calm the restless dead.Spells-Creatura Ficta (false life): the mage animates a temporary creature that is an illusion, but appears to be lifelike and have a mind of its own, based on a nearby physical object.-Curso Perpendiculum (wall run): the mage or the mage’s friend can easily run on a wall at a 90o angle for a short distance.-Fit Invisibilia (fade from sight): the mage uses bright moonlight to shimmer, then become temporarily invisible.-Historia Viventem (animated past): this spell conjures visual representations of occurrences in the past.-Lumen Saltans (dazzling lights): moonbeam lights shimmer, pop, and dance forth from the mage’s hand.-Manifestum Corpus (manifest form): a being that is not entirely corporeal temporarily becomes completely solid and tangible.-Manifestum Incorpus (blue form): an object is made incorporeal for a brief amount of time However, the spell does not work well on people.-Mors Aperta (create portal): casting the spell opens a mysterious and dangerous window between life and death.-Mystica Arbora (group invisibility): this allows the mage to disguise themselves, another person, or a object as a tree.-Partum Mysterium (wave illusion): harnessing moonlight, multiple people, places, and things began to appear that aren’t really there, creating a complex visual distraction.-Vis Mandacis (liar’s face): for a limited time, the mage can appear to maintain an extremely convincing expression of their choosing on their face, regardless of their actual mood or motive.-Vis Verus (true face): the mage selects a person whose face expresses their true emotions and intentions, regardless of what they may be trying to portray, for a limited time.Mire the Mind (moon magic Distinction): you can double the stress a opposing character takes when dealing with your magic.SkyCallum’s Spell Book: it is more than just whether magic. It draws on the vastness of the sky and the energy and movement of the winds. It is strongest during a storm. Words associated with it are lightness, quickness, agility, cleverness, vision, potential, freedom, and perspective.Sky magic draws energy from the moment of the vast sky above us. Their mages thrive on the ever-changing energy their primal source offers them.Sky mages can do more than just create and control the weather. A talented mage can enhance their speed and jump distance. They can also learn to perform feats of incredible ability, letting them be excellent acrobats, dancers, and thieves.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Sky: Magic of the Sky encompasses the invisible breezes and winds, storms and electricity, and the freedom of the sky’s vast expanse.This primal is linked to speed, freedom, and clarity of vision. It is strongest up in the air, within the clouds or at the top of a mountain. It embodies the dynamism of free movement, unburdened by the chains of the earth. Their mages feel most in tune with their source when the air is swift, the lightning cracks, and the tempest whirls around them.Symbol: it can be found as a glowing carving outside a mountain top shrine, or flashing inside an artifact affixed with luminous aquamarine gemstones.Arcanum: Creatures connected with it include Skywing elves, griffons, and sky dragons. The primal confers not only rapid movement and grace, but quickness of thought, ability to fly, and skill in escaping containment.Primal Stone: a glass-like sphere that has an entire storm or natural weather phenomena trapped within it. they are considered the most dangerous to wield because breaking one will unleash the storm within.Spells-Arcanum Antiquis (ancient secret): the mage can leave a whispered secret hidden in the air that only another Sky mage can hear.-Arcanum Recolligo (gather secret): the mage feels out the nearby air to see if another sky mage has left a whispered secret there.-Aspiro (forceful gust): summons a gust of wind, its direction determined by the mage.-Aspiro Frigis (freezing gust): a powerful gust becomes transformed into a blast of ice that can trap or encase the targeted creature or object.-Fremitus Resonans (booming roar): a powerful and intimidating howl rockets forth from the mage.-Fulminis (lightning): creates a charge of electricity that can then be discharged as a lightning bolt.-Manus.

It can be life-giving or oppressive and destructive. Lots of their spells involve fire, but a lot of sun mages believe that their mission is to bring more light and hope into the world. It is strongest when the sun is highest. Words associated with it are energy, fury, intensity, optimism, teaching, warmth, charisma, revealing, truth, honesty, leadership, and guiding light.Art Book: Sun mages can learn to master light and fire, and some of the most powerful can use their strength of will to heal and purify, banishing sickness and decay. It is among the most dangerous magics to master due to its duality of light and fire, of purification and destruction. The mages must keep control of their emotions and impulses. Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Sun: The Sun has a dual nature: it’s primal magic is both destructive and life-giving. It evokes fire in all its forms, and harnesses the power of light, warmth, and healing.Mages can bend flames to their will, heal, figurately light up the truth, literally illuminate the area, and purge dark magic corruption. It is most powerful at midday when the sun is at its highest point. Any light, even a single candle flame in the dead of night is enough to call upon the arcanum.Symbol: it is found on magical artifacts or locations dedicated to the sun.Arcanum: creatures with the arcanum include Sunfire elves, glow toads, and emberback spiders. This arcanum brings with it a furious, positive energy. It can consume everything it touches, or it can imbue a creature with dazzling light, a constant warmth, or a scalding touch. It often manifests in accordance with strong emotions.Primal Stone: their primal stones have a great fire within it, like a raging firestorm, a tongue of the Sun’s flame, or a blinding light. They can be used to start fires, summon revelatory glows, and banish cold and darkness. Some say the first ones held the fiery breath of Sol Regum himself.Spells-Calor Obscurans (blinding heat): white light gleans from the mage that pulsates with intense heat and blinding light.-Circulus Luminis (ring of light): a ring of bright light is magically summoned to illuminate a person or darkened area.-Digitul Illustris (finger candle): a dim, harmless light emits from the mage’s finger, enough to illuminate a darkened room.-Flammae Circumeans (floating motes): the mage summons floating motes of flame that either orbit them for protection or slowly move towards an attacker as a means of creating protective distance.-Ignis Iacto (bolt of fire): a swirling orb of flame rockets towards a target of the mage’s choice.-Ignis Volitans (flame motes): the mage summons a floating flame orb that can be guided more slowly than a bolt and therefore used more defensively.-Lingua Fraxinus (language of ash): the mage chooses someone whose words will suddenly spill forth as mouthfuls of ash that crumble out of their mouths and onto the ground.-Pila Ardens (burning ball): an orb of flames bounces towards a target, then bops it up to 3 times before dissipating.-Pumex Irae (rock of anger): anger is drawn from a target, making them calm, and summoning a hot steaming lova rock into the hand of the mage.-Superficies Calidus (hot surface): An object gains a painfully hot surface for just a moment.-Verum Animo (sense truth of heart): creates a magic sensitivity to whether a person’s body is showing telltale signs of dishonesty though an increase in body temperature.-Vires Ardens (enhanced strength): a fiery strength fills the individual of the mage’s choice.Guiding Flare (sun Distinction): when you take angry stress, you can grant another character a bonus.EarthCallum’s Spell Book: Rayla hasn’t talked about it much. It draws on the power of the land itself and has 2 types: rock/mineral related and plant/animal related. It is strongest when you are deep underground. Words associated with it are strength, endurance, stubbornness, deep history, patience, healing, growth, and balance.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Earth: Mages who wield the magic of the Earth hear the whispers of the land itself and can coax forth the might of stone or secrets held in a single seed.From the deepest tunnels to the highest peaks, towering trees to miniscule mushrooms, Earth magic is in all of it. it embodies the strength of stone and the energy of new life. it is at its strongest underground or in the heart of a forest. It can take the form of druidic influence over plants and animals, or shifting the earth. It draws strength and fortitude from the land and is weaker out at sea, but even the smallest pebble or tiniest sprout hold the link.Symbol: it can be found engraved in the sides of underground passages or in the notch of an ancient tree. It is also found on items, artifacts, and locations that draw on Earth.Arcanum: Creatues connected include Earthblood elves, stone giants, and amblers, as well as many underground dwellers. It is centered around resilience, fortitude, patience, and harmony with nature.Primal Stone: literally a stone, often a multifaceted chunk of crystal or a smooth orb of petrified wood with the boundless potential of a mighty forest or a powering peak sealed within and reflected over and over as dendritic patterns, hairline fractures, and mica crystals. It lets you control and change the world around you though moving rocks and growing plants.Spells-Calculo lacto (pebble flick): a small bit of rock flies up and hurls itself away, or against a nearby surface, with only the slightest visible gesture.-Creatura Lenta (slowed creature): nearby dirt, dust, or muck grasps at a creature’s feet and slows their movement.-Crystallum Mordo (crystal Rations): creates small edible crystals that can be chomped on for restorative purposes.-Glarea Creo (create gravel): a stone surface crumbles into gravel-Globus Pulvis (dust cloud): a cloud of dust swirls up and covers the mage, a friend, a thing, a creature, or a small area.-Mediton Ad Crystallo (meditation crystal): creates a crystal that the mage – or a friend – can meditate on to increase their focus.-Rumpus Magnus (loud crackle): the mage causes a loud wooden crack to sound somewhere nearby.-Silva Lamentans (wailing forest): nearby living trees are asked to breath, creating deep spooky, haunting moans.-Spinare Crystallae (crystal spines): a person or creature briefly grows short crystal spines on a spot of their body that the mage chooses.-Terram Agito (churning soil): A deep patch of soil churns like water for a limited time, causing heavy objects to sink.-Vestigium Tacitum (silent footfalls): the mage asks earth magic to lift someone up imperceptibly so that their footfalls never make audible contact.-Vitrum Elicio (conjure glass): a thin shard or wall of clear glass rises up from nearby sand, or clear crystal from rock.Body of Earth (earth magic Distinction): When you take stress, this can be activated to decrease the stress and grant you a asset equal to the new stress rating.OceanCallum’s Spell Book: the kind Callum knows the least about. All kinds of water magic are related to the ocean. It draws on the depth and power of the oceans and tides, and includes ice magic. It is strongest at high tide. Words associated with it include flexibility, transformation, flow, surface level vs depth, navigation, and awareness. Tales of Xadia TTRPPG: The magic of the Ocean streams together the energy of currents, floods, and waves, from the vicious cold of ice to the ebb and flow of the tides.It is in every body of water, from deep oceans to shallow streams. Water is transformative by nature, condensing from steam and freezing into ice. Its magic is dynamic, forceful, and reaching everywhere and anywhere, within and without. It is strongest on, in, or under water; but is also strong in the rain, giving it a powerful synergy with Sky. It evokes the constant churn of the ocean, with a constant flow of energy in its magic. It can strike quickly and devastatingly, and also includes ice magic. It is rumored that the barest drop of moisture can carry the power if needed.Symbol: it can be seen carved into the side of ancient lighthouses that dot Xadia’s coastline. Sailors have claimed to see them carved into rocky shores, indicating hidden coves nearby.Arcanum: creatures connected to it include Tidebound elves, river monsters, sea leviathans, and bog hyenas. Connecting with the arcanum requires finding calm amongst constant change, understanding the innate qualities of water – transformation, fluidity, and adaptability.Primal Stone: the stones contain a mighty whirlpool or the pressure of the ocean floor trapped within it. This fuels magic to command the tides, redirect rivers, flood a room with water, speaking with fish, and granting the ability to breath underwater.Spells-Aqua Delcis (refreshing water): the mage summons a handful of clean, fresh water.-Aqua Protegens (pillar of protection): for a moment, the mage is encased in a pillar of swirling water to deflect a blow or protect from another danger, the pillar then disappearing.-Bracchia Alga (kelp tentacles): tendrils made of kelp burst forth from the hands of the mage.-Cauda Pistris (shark’s tail): the mage’s lower half takes on the shape of a shark’s tail, enabling them to speed though water.-Corpus Liquidus (liquid body): the mage can briefly give their body water-like permeability, allowing projectiles or harmful objects to pass completely though them without harm.-Faucem Sicco (painful drought): the mage harshly dries out the voice, throat, and skin of someone, causing deeply uncomfortable raspy dryness as well as stress.-Lutum Facio (instant mud): trace amounts of ocean magic take its place in the soil or sand, creating a pool of mud where there was once little or no moister.-Pressio Profundorum (pressure of the deep): the mage harnesses magic in the surrounding water or residual water magic in the air to squeeze a fragile object until it breaks or hold a moving object in place for a limited time.-Umidae Audior (amplify sound): a sound that would normally not carry far rides the moisture in the air, reaching the ears of the mage.-Umida Palma Ferio (wet slap): moisture in the air suddenly forms a small flat surface of water that slaps someone or something that the mage chooses, the water then dissipating instantly.-Undae Prosterno (knock flat): a tiny wave of water measuring up to a foot high rush beneath the feet of someone the mage chooses, attempting to knock them down.-Ungulae Corallae (claws of coral): the mage briefly grows claws made of sharp coral on their fingertips, which can be used as protection or to dig into tough surfaces.StarCallum’s Spell Book: Rayla said it might be the most powerful magic there is. It’s very mysterious, and not much is known about it. it is also called “celestial magic”, and draws on the vast and timeless power of the cosmos. Only one Star mage may be born in generations. The only bit of star magic seen by Callum is the key of Aaravos. Words associated with it include Vision, truth, intelligence, otherworldly, destiny, wishes, mysterious, timeless, and reality altering. Unknown when it is strongest.Puzzle House: the map to the unicorn that was enchanted so only the pure of heart can read it is probably Star magic, given that Unicorns are Star magic.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Most mysterious is the magic of the Stars. So rarely is it seen in action, so distant is its source, that it is rare to even speak of Star magic.The most powerful and rare of the primal, it is the subject of intense debate among scholars. It has been centuries since the last living Startouched elf roamed Xadia, so most of what we know is based on legends. Ancient texts hint at the power to manipulate time and space. The stars are far away, but they are ever present, reminding others of just how small they are in the face of the cosmos.Symbol: it is rare in modern Xadia, but found in random ancient ruins across Xadia, perhaps hinting at some connection long forgotten.Arcanum: creatures connected to it are scares everywhere. The last Startouched elves and unicorns were seen centuries ago. Today, it is in the starweaver spiders and cuddlemonkeys. Legends suggest that those with a Star arcanum resonate with the beat of the cosmic heart within the stars, a celestial quality that crosses time and space.Primal Stone: none have been recorded, but scholars theorize such a powerful artifact might allow the bearer to bend and warp time and space around them.Dark MagicCallum’s Spell Book: There are dark magic spells you can do to permanently enchant your fingers and hands to do things like be a flashlight or lighter.Sarai said that dark magic will change the user, corrupting them and making them evil.-Lighting a fire: crush an emberback spider and chant backwards ‘leaping skipping flames’ to make a fire that will jump between desired targets.-silence spell: use the mummified paw of a Xadian singing-weasel (altos work best, but soprano or tenor weasels will work in a pinch) while chanting backwards ‘steal the voice.’ the target will be rendered mute.-tracking spell: you need a piece of biological mater from the person you are tracking, a jar of whisps, and to go to the top of the highest mountain in the land. Light the hair on fire and chant backwards “fuse your essence” to create a purple flame. Infuse the wisps with the purple flame, then chant “seek (targets name)” and launch the wisps at the target.-Smoke wolves: sprinkle the ashes of Xadian wolves on a shadowlife candle (made from the blood of a moon phenix mixed with earwax from a dragon). Then chant backwards “ashes of fallen, rise again smoky seekers” before sending them to do your bidding. This can be done with the ashes from any creature, not just wolves.-snake chains: chanting “Sliverthing steel, bind them” will turn Claudia’s bracelets into snakes, and then into chains. Claudia doesn’t know exactly how her snake bracelets were made, but they are enchanted with dark magic.Art Book: The ingredients for dark magic are thematically linked to the intent of the spell, such as a cat’s paw for silence and a griffon’s eye for accuracy. When the spell is cast, there is possibly a piece of the mage taken with it.There is a unused dark magic spell for Claudia that would have her form tendrils to pull down dragons from the sky.The spell Viren used to drain Zym was designed to mirror the spell used by Ziard’s bird draining spell.Puzzle House: The plushify spell: sprinkle the target with fuzz-fur scorpion tail powder and say “Solid and unyielding thing become soft” backwards to make the hard object soft.Snap magic is the kind of magic where you snap your fingers to light a candle. Kpp’ar said it drew on “the spark of fun” instead of primal sources and dark magic.Snake bracelets: saying “A clever mind can unlock the whole world” will make the bracelets come to life and unlock specially designed collars with this in mind.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: No one can agree on why humans reached out for dark magic, weather it was out of greed, desperation, or curiosity. Years of use can leave mages with pale complexions, bruise-like blemishes across the body, and blackened eyes.You don’t always have to kill the creature to get dark magic components.To cast a dark magic spell, you need all or part of a magical creature with the correct arcanum, knowledge of the incantation, and a clear line of sight to the person or place you are targeting. The spell then happens immediately, consuming the ingredient, and you can’t hide that you cast it. inexperience, haste, or other distractions can all create problems.Dark magic amplifies the values and emotions of the mage who uses it, and the ease of use combined with consuming magical creatures gives its mages “questionable” moral views. Casting it enough will cause it to twist, corrupt, and change the mage, requiring them to use more magic to hide it.Dark magic leaves traces behind anyone who uses it, even from a single spell. These can be detected by anyone who knows how to search, such as Sunfire high priests or other dark mages. If you get corrupted enough, you can do simple parlor tricks without ingredients, such as lighting a candle. You can also gain a slight resistance to dark magic stress if you are corrupted enough.You can use your corruption to sense, analyze, and detect magic around you, primal and dark.Dark magic can be used to mimic primal spells, and the training for this can easily be substituted with using primal stones.Spells -Cigam Rouy Laever (revealing spell): casting this reveals the magical meaning behind a magical object.-Dnibnu Leets Gnirehtils (snake transformation spell): causes a lengthy, snake-like object to suddenly transform into a living snake.-Eciov Eht Laets (silence spell): the mage robs someone of their voice.-Ecnesse Ruoy Esuf (fusing spell): a spell that can infuse wisps with a magical essence.-Em Rof Dneb Ytsnoh (reflection changing): when used with certain rare magical objects, the spell changes the nature of a reflection in a reflective surface.-Erusaert Ym Si Luos Ruoy (soul trapping spell): when chanted, a mage can trap someone’s soul into a object. This spell is incredibly difficult for most mages to complete.-Etah Fo Nopaew A Htiw Efil Niard Ot, Ssol Dna Evol Fo Tonk Delgnat A Tsiwt (stone death spell): an incredibly complex spell that can be used to kill someone by turning them into stone. Requires specific and rare materials.-Htap Eht Laever Dna Em Erofeb Trap (path clearing spell): removes obstacles from the mage’s path.-Kram Ruoy Dnif, Tlob Rekeestraeh (homing spell): this spell ensures that a projectile never misses its target, no matter the circumstances. It uses the eye of a griffon.-Latem Eht, Hcuot Gninrub (heat metal): causes metal to heat to extraordinary temperatures.-Meht Dnib Leets Gnirehtils (chain snake spell): The spell causes a nearby object to become snakes that tighten around someone, then transform into chains.-Htaerb Eht Laets (suffocation spell): The mage pulls the breath from someone, causing them to suffocate.-Neddih Si Tahw Laever Eye Gniees Eurt (secrets spell): the mage now unveils the magical nature or secrets behind an object.-Niaga Esir, Nellaf Fo Has (shadow minions): brings back shadowy forms of fallen beings, who then do the mages being.-Nekorb Eht Laeh Dna Wolf, Evila Dna Gnuoy Eliga Tserof Fo Doolbefl (lifeblood healing): using the sacrifice of a large animal, a great physical trauma is healed.-Nrub Tonnac Rednic Fo Straeh (hearts of cinder): Imbues a human with corrupted sun magic that dulls their ability to communicate, but doubles their strength; immunity to fire, they instead draw strength from any blaze.-Nwod Meht Gard, Psarg Gnihtirw (grasping spell): ghostly octopus tentacles grasp at and grip tight a person or thing of the mage’s choice.-Rewop Rouy Swollaws Eh, Dnim Rouy Swollaws Eh, Traeh Rouy Swollaws Eh (power absorption): allows a mage to drain the power of another being into themselves.-Semalf Gnippiks Gnipael (dancing flames): this spell allows a mage to conjure a small flame that leaps between multiple targets before disappearing. Uses an emberback spider or other small creature connected to the sun primal.-Sbmil Eseht Ot Efil Gnirb (healing spell): this spell can heal serious injuries. It requires flower petals and a tad of grasshopper goop.Price of Darkness (dark magic Distinction): when you use a magical creature with your Dark Magic specialty, empower dark magic and gain Corrupted stress.That is it for the Dragon Prince Books!

Startouched elves are rarely seen.TTRPG distinctions: Elf grace: have better agility.Elf Sences: have better awareness.Elf Might: are stronger.MoonshadowCallum’s Spell Book: Moonhenge was a place where moonshadow elves performed rituals, but it was destroyed by the moon druids when the breach was made to prevent humans from using it. Legends say that ancient elves could use the power of the Nexus to open up a portal to another plane- a shimmering world between life and death.They make the best moonberry surprise in Rayla’s village, but she hasn’t said what is in it.The more birdlike mounts of the moonshadows are called moonstriders, while the cat like ones are called shadowpaws.Art Book: Before it was abandoned, the moon nexus hosted travelers, mages, and scholars.Bloodmoon Huntress: Breackfast items in the Silvergrove include ruby potatoes, crackle bird eggs, star-seed biscots, dew-flower jelly, and mushcup. They have voltberry jam. Bittersquash is rich in nutrients, but not verry tasty of pretty. Honeyburst rainbow grapes are multi-colored grapes that are very tasty and pretty.The harvest moon is the full moon that happens once a year, where moon magic is at its peak. Elves like Ethrin prep to enchante every item they can during this time so they will be as effective as possible. It is also called the blood moon. The moonshadow forest is always more powerful during this night. The Silvergrove’s magic keeps them safe normally, but on this night the line between reality and illusion blurs and the woods become dangerous even to the moonshadow elves. The only ones who go out are Runnan and his crew, and they go out in their moonshadow forms to keep them safe.-during the night, all the kids are gathered in one place and kept under guard under the guise of a party. It is called the bonbon fires, and the kids are given extra treats, scary stories, and games all night long.-according to stories the kids tell each other, the bloodmoon huntress is a witch that can disappear and reappear miles awat, who hunts people down at the peak of the blood moon and sucks your blood and turns you into a mindless squallwing. The stories also say she grinds their bones into biscuits. She turned invisible the night before a full moon and kidnaped a group of skywing elves to drain of their blood during the harvest moon and store them in vials to drink later. After drinking a veil, her veins began to glow. She was going to say “morte ad vitam-“ when she slit someone thought to drain them, but we didn’t hear the whole thing. She was called Kimdael by Runnan, who said he read about her. She was shown teleporting, extending her nails into claws, and firing dagger like projectiles. She was surprised to have been injured by Etrin’s enchanted arrow, meaning that only incredibly strong magic can harm her. After being injured she disappeared, and Runnan said that a year without her source will leave her weak and that she wouldn’t show her face again until she gathers her strength again. Her alter was smashed by Rayla to slow her down even more.The moonshadow form is only achieved when we understand the balance of life and death. It is difficult to do the first shift, and it takes a long time to do it on command.You only have to do the silvergrove dance if you are entering with a guest.The mausoleum was empty when Runnan checked on it the day before the bloodmoon. It is at the edge of the keeper’s secret glen.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: Moonshadow elves live in quiet forest villages.They believe in oath and duty above all else, and they have a elusive nature and profound connection with the concept of balance. They are well-suited to the role of assassin or scout. Many are peaceful guardians of the forest in southwestern Xadia, they are the most feared kinds of elves and considered synonymous with death itself.Fashion: they usually wear clothes that allow them to move quickly, comfortably, and silently. They favor dark colors that evoke the night sky and the shadows, such as deep greens and vilot. Horn rings and decorations are a traditional symbol of marriage. Affection and intimacy is expressed through hair braiding.Culture: they live among the trees or near the mountains. Due to guarding their emotions and training to never show fear, they can appear rigid to outsiders. They incorporate dancing into their rituals more than any other elves, from magical protection spells to marriage ceremonies.History: In ancient times, before humans were banished, there were Moonshadow druids in western Xadia around the Moon Nexus. They created the Moon Henge, which allowed them to open a portal to the strange and dreamlike realm between life and death. They destroyed it when the world was divided, separating them from one of their most sacred places of power.Cursed Caldera: the Moon Nexus is located in this mountain range, guarded by a solitary moon mage who protects its magic and many secrets with terrifying illusions.The Silvergrove: Deep in the Moonsahdow Forest lies a hidden village. Home to the most feared assassins as known for its weapon craft. They value tranquility.The Hollow Wood: A bustling village of trade, it has a less elaborate magical spell protecting it than the Silvergrove. Though inhabited and founded by Moonshadow elves, several other elves come to enjoy the outdoor markets – even the occasional human.Blood Moon: Long ago, a group of Moonshadow elves embraced a forbidden practice: they drank the blood of still-living beings to extend their lives and enhance their magical powers. Their fellow elves shunned them, and eventually the blood-drinkers were hunted down and killed by their own kind. Only one is known to have survived. The Bloodmoon Huntress Kim’dael.Flowers of Elarion: “When the world was divided in two, an unfortunate elf called Lasair was stranded in the west. Lasair lived in fear of human hunters and mages, tormented and lonely for years. While not a thief by nature, they began to take items left unattended out of necessity, but never without an exchange. Lassair left behind beautiful blooms called flowers of Elarion, rare and precious blossoms that glow with soft light and have a scent that can sooth the most ragged spirit. While Lasair hoped the trade would lay the grounds for friendship with humans – a fair exchange of beloved for beloved – they never saw the precious blossoms fade and turn to cold ashes when exposed to the dawn. They never learned their gift was perceived as a curse, not a trade, and never knew why their name drew ire and hatred across the Human Kingdoms.Moonshadow elves: more subtle with their aggression than sunfire elves, they are masters at keeping a low profile. Perhaps that’s why their assassins are feared across all of Xadia and the Human Kingdoms combined. Through the Moon primal they have a strong, if slightly, spooky, connection with death, illusions, and spirits. Consider adding them to stories that take place to the west. They can be found supporting other types of elves, their stealthy, oath-bound nature making them strong allies.Distinctions: Moon Bounded: have a better chance to succeed with a party of up to 5 other people.Moonshadow Form: When trying to hide, sneak, or go unseen during a full moon, you are more likely to succeed.Resolute: being stressed can help you do things, and your stress drops afterwards.SunfireCallum’s Spell Book: The Brach is guarded on the Xadia side by sunfire elves, meaning they know about it and haven’t closed it.Lux Aurea is made out of gold and stones that glitter in the sunlight. The Sunforge is a magical hearth that focus light and primal magic from the sun onto the forge below for crafting and spell work.The sunfire elves revere Sol Regem, reflecting his horn pattern in their crowns, weapons, and architecture. When they become angry, they can power up into Heat-Being Mode where their skin glows with actual molten lava and become super strong as well as gaining immunity to fire. Some can also enter a light being mode that allows them to heal others.The sunfire queen was described as a fair ruler, but can be stubborn and not always listening to her sisters advise. Her scepter is called the “Scepter of Radiance.” She has been the queen ever since her grandmother died.The sunfire elves ride twin-tailed inferno-tooth tigers, but they are just called hot cats.Art Book: Sunfire elves are one of the most militant factions in Xadia and see themselves as a guiding light for others to follow. They are master metalworkers that gild their armor with gold.Sunfire elves are natural leaders, courageous and heroic, and always seek to elevate themselves to the magnificence of the sun.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: The Sunfire elf civilization is considered the greatest elven civilization in living memory. Thousands of sunfire elves called Lux Aurea home for generation.A sunfire elf proverb is “No matter how dark the night, the Sun is forever your friend.”Sunfire elves are the most populous type of elf. Many of them can heat their skin to a magma-like temperature and texture, often triggered by strong emotions.Fashion: They prefer bold reds and golds. They deeply value the role of soldiers and servants who honor their Queen, and the style of dress communicates this. Even the civilians tend to wear clothes that displays gold-sringed pride. Horns are adorned with golden embellishments that denote military rank and social standing. Familial crests and emblems represent long-standing military history achievements.Culture: unified around a singular monarch, the royal family’s heritage goes back hundreds of generations. They revere Sol Regem, and use his 6 horned iconography in many of their designs. Primary a warrior culture, they are devoted to martial prowess, but Lux Aurea is also home to some of the greatest artisans and smiths in Xadia. They honor honesty, forthrightness, and integrity above all else.History: they have been defending the Border from human incursions alongside the archdragons. They are proud, with a long history of conflict and conquest that they won’t hesitate to remind anyone of. Their queen Aditi mysteriously vanished long ago during the height of her people’s most vicious struggles. Lux Aurea has stood tall since the time of Elarion.Lux Aurea: for many years, it was the beginning and the end of Sunfire Culture. After the Sunforge was corrupted, the city is enveloped in a powerful dark energy that corrupts living things that enter its aura.Janai didn’t take a new title for a while after the Battle of the Srorm Spire due to being too busy leading the army and keeping her people alive, so she is still known as the Golden Knight of Lux Aurea.He who Kissed Fire: “A sunfire elf warrior called Calex fell in love with a sunfire elf mage named Erian, but never told him of his feelings. When Calex fell in battle, he lay dying in Erian’s arms, he finally spoke the truth. Erian kissed him, and it’s said that Erian’s magic poured into Calex’s heart though his kiss. Calex’s heart became fire, not flesh, and he returned to life like a roaring flame. Sunfire elves believe that Calex was the first warrior to ever enter heat-being mode.Sunfire Elf chantOh let me meditate on the beast of devouring that feeds on the stars, that star devourer dragonLet me repel this Star dragon and banish it from the light of my Sun.Sunfire Elves: This is a pivotal time in sunfire culture, when they are stripped of the vast city they call home and forced to reckon with their normally fierce dispositions. It might make a lot of sense to include sunfire elves in a tale that takes place in the current timeline of “the dragon prince”, as they are scattered and looking for purpose. Be sure to take a look at “the corrupted core” starting in chapter 7 for plenty of examples!The Tale of the Corrupted Core: The corrupted Sunforge is a magically ticking time bomb that threatens to destroy the entire continent. The city is lost and nearly the entire population has fled the area. Vaake, a sunfire elf vet is still stationed just outside the city limits. The city is also filled with a corrupting, draining power. This takes a few days after the S3 end.The corruption of the sunforge is emerging as a sickly wave of orange plaguing the grounds. This is sticking to people and creatures, weakening them over time. The closer to the orb you get, the worst the corruption and the faster you succumb to it.The party were given a mysterious shard she found in Klors’s paw. She isn’t sure what it does, but it pulses when a corrupted being approaches. Unknown to the party, it also releases an aura invisible to the uncorrupted, but will atracted them to you if you move in the open. Near the sunforge, it will make a audible hum that will make it imposable to avoid any corrupted beings near you. It turns out to be a piece of the Sunforge itself.The sunforge WILL detonate, and it cannot be stopped. The city is doomed, but the blast can be mitigated to ONLY destroy the city.Lux Aurea doesn’t have linear city blocks, but buildings that flow like plasma on the surface of the sun. there are three major refugee camps inside the city. They are filled with the citizens that believed it was their duty to stay and protect their homes. Not all believe that the destruction of the Sunforge is that big a deal, and others are used to things like this happening and someone showing up in the last minute to set things right. There is only one in each camp that needs the serum to evac.The tower with the Sunforge has a simple but long flight of stairs that lead to the top. Jest below the floor with the forge is a catapult hidden to be used against invaders. The royal Lux Aurean armory is mostly empty, but there is a magical necklace emblazoned with a row of fire rubies that can help Vaake not feel so drained when she uses her arcanum.There is a royal arboretum with the ingredents to make the serum.There is a bakery called “The Scones Throw” just to the side of a much larger pavilion for political meetings, and its where the elite fetch a breakfast. There is a note on the door that is written below. The door is a massive golden slab standing 9 feet high with many moving parts; there’s a glowing latch that is sparkling with red that is clearly some kind of sun magic. There was some unique spell that sued to disarm it that the backer couldn’t quite get right to open the door. to open it without the spell, you need to cool the latch, pull a giant industrial metal locking pin, and forcefully tug the door at the same time.-“I am off to join the refugees. Unfortunately, I was unable to bring the food I promised, as we recently had a new lock installed and IO locked myself out Alas! Hundreds of scones and cookies gone to waste. These politicians insisted that as a part of the pavilion I have this ridiculous magic door and magic lock installed in case there are thieves, and ow I am locked out of my own food store in a time of crisis.“Mark my words, whoever finds this note, never let landlords install wacky security systems on your home. I live upstairs, and left my father’s halberd there as well. I sure could use it to fight off the humans now.Teel, baker and proprietor.How the story is resolvedThere are several ways to get close enough to the Sunforge to effect it. you can ride Klots on a short flight up, ride Orta for a short flight up, use a pole arm from the bakery, use the war catapult as a ladder, or just throw the serum at it.-if the shard is inserted into the forge, the surface will bubble and boil, attracting Orta’s attention. It will then detonate like usual.-if the serum is used on it, it will flash bright yellow like its old self before beating with dark magic in a steadily increase rate. You have just enough time to get out of the city before it blows and destroys the city.-if the shard and serum was used together, the magic will flow into the forge and it will crash deep into the ground thorough everything in its path. The devastation causes fissures of magma to form thorough the city and nearby mountains to louse their peaks. It will keep going down until it reaches the center of the planet; within weeks the city will be turned into a volcano that scholar’s debate for years whether it will erupt in a world ending event.-if you fail to weaken it, Orta will wrap her wings around it to muffle the explosion at the cost of her life. Distinctions: Heat-Being: when angry, increase your agility and strength.Light-Being: can reduce other people’s injures and stress into stress for yourself.Relentless: can push down stress.StartouchedArt Book: Startouched elves were designed with words like beautiful, ethereal, and otherworldly in mind. Some designs had strong, authoritative vibes.Tales of Xadia TTRPG: They are sometimes called the first elves. They are said to have made great marks on Xadia’s ancient history, but little real evidence is left today. A handful of scrolls survived, but they are opaque and scholars continue to debate their meanings.Most legends agree on several things. They are few in number, their lifespans are longer than even dragons, and their magic is vast and powerful beyond all measures to record.The few extensive records of them are the Scrolls of the First elves in the Great Bookery of Lux Aurea. There are also children’s rhymes among the Moonshadow elves. The only source on them in the human kingdoms is the Royal Library of Evenerce, holding the single poem “The Epic of the Void” by a unknown poet. It predates the fall of Evenere, and is kept behind a lock door guarded by a Ocean rune. Those hoping to study the poem must petition the High Mage of Evenere personally, but she is strict in letting people see it.Moonshadow rhymeStartouch, Startouch, what’s your nameEarth and Ocean join out gameStartouch, Starouch, far awaySo with Sky and Sun we’ll play.The Epic of the Void: only shared stanzaWhere do the fabled Great Ones hide?What secrets have you locked inside?From rising Sun to Moonlight’s graceI search Sky for any traceOf Starfolk, fabled, fallen, found-Once everywhere, now none around.Is all we are to know of theeConsumed by Dark, or cast to Sea?So bound to Earth, are we deniedThe touch of Stars? Have our Gods died?Where do the fabled Great Ones hide?Startouched Elves: most might me skeptical of whether or not they even exist. There are stories about them, sure, but are they legends or are they real? Before creating a Startouched elf character, first consider creating a mysterious relic that hints at one instead. After all, they are more myth than reality.AaravosAaravos is an ancient and mysterious figure that is unknown to all but a few elves, and the ones that do know will refuse to talk. Callum redrew a page he saw that talked about him.-Translated: The Midnight Star______________Elarion, seeds tremblingLying on the ground on an icy night.And in the cold[She] withdrew her rootsChallenging the sting of the deadly winter.Elarion, and her blooming flower,afraid of wilting, darkness and death,Had searched the darkFor a sparkAnd so the eyes of the hungry dragon flared.Elarion, the frightened foundlingStretched her white branches towards the night.Asking the stars,To receive her light,And to stop the fire of the raging dragon.Elarion, in a heavy rest,cried while the stars of the skies turned blackThey wore their masks,Turned their backs,And left Elarion to die.Elarion, as her skin struggled death,Withered and suffered in the dark,Until the last star,Reached out from far awayIts touch: a fire, a gift, a spark. Elarion, and her blinding light,Embraced the great black flame of night.And when she bowed,She declared her faith,[He] whispered, "Aaravos," his name.Elarion, black-eyed child,her twisted roots spread deep and far,The humans’ mightsparked by the lightof Aaravos, her midnight star. Art Book: Aaravos can only access a fraction of his former power.Aaravos pages: the three are written in Arabic, Danish, and Italian.ARABIC POEM:This is the same one from the Spell Book.DANISH PASSAGE:Finally he told me his name. I had never heard a name like his, but I had never imagined an elf like him either. He is stronger, older and wiser than any other magical creature in Xadia. Even so he is a friend for/to all humans. Where others look down on us, call us inferior, he sees great potential in us. When we take the gifts Aaravos has promised us, they shall pay for their conceit, they will be forced to see us as their equals. And when we are equals, we can take our destiny in our own hands and build our future. I can see it before me in my dreams; a grand, glorious city. The pride of all of humanity. A place where we are no longer forced to hide, pale and frostbitten, from the prejudices of elves and dragons. A place that can stand against any abuse/assualt, and stand in the history of mankind for generations. It will not be easy, but with help from our benefactorITALIAN:Of all Primal Sources, the stars are the most mysterious. No other creatures except Startouch Elves have understood the Star Arcanum and, unlike other primal sources, human mages have exhausted themselves by just trying to express the concept in words. The study of the stars is made more difficult by the scarcity of magical creatures connected to the stars. The only known creatures connected to the stars are the mysterious Startouch Elves and the rare, fascinating unicorns.Dark mages have tried to hunt the unicorns to better understand their power, but their stellar magic and their devious cunning make them almost impossible to hunt.As for Startouch Elves, there is very little trace of their existence in Xadian literature. They seem evasive, inscrutable, distant from the rest of elvish society. No Startouch Elf has ever been seen by humans - except one.Known by many names in ancient stories - "The Fallen Star", the last of the great ones, the bearer of gifts. But his real name was Aaravos.Words mentioning his name have been truncated since the time of the great schism, although there are disagreements about his role in historical events. Some describe him as a beneficent figure, an ally of humanity, willing to share his great magical power with those who needed it the most. Other portray him as...SkywingTales of Xadia TTRPG: Skywing elves are nomadic.Even those that can’t fly have a tendency to listen to the air around them and learn about their surroundings.Fashion: they favor light roves or armor that allows freedom of movement, but holding a element of boldness that expresses their personality. One common element is the incorporation of feather or feather designs into their clothes. They like carrying their possessions on their person.Culture: They value freedom for better or worse. They are great thinkers, scholars, and problem solvers. They are also the most legendary thieves. They are highly individualistic as opposed to communal.History: They were the least hostile to the humans. They occasionally made attempts at centralized communities, but these almost always developed into occasional meeting places.Innean: long ago, a town of wingless skywing elves with a Primal Well in it decided to soar alone, together. They got some earthblood elves to help carve out the bedrock around the town and floated into the sky using the well. Recently, it drifted into a mountain and literally fell to ruin. The townspeople and the Well survived intact.Hendyr was once a member of the dragonguard, but abandoned his post.Featherborne: an ancient Xadian legend tells of the Beatheborne, wingless Skywing elves who made their home on the back of a massive seraphswan. One day, the seraphswan was caught in a violent storm that ripped the feathers off her wings. Flung from her back, only a few elves survived by clinging to fallen feathers that carried them to earth. Decendents of the Featherborne believe that, if they can only collect all of her lost feathers again, the swan will return to life and carry them on the winds once again.Skybound: “Twin Skywing elf brothers were born, one with wings and the other without. The wingless brother was so jealous that, in a fit of rage, he tore off his brothers wings to make the equal. But the winged brother’s connection to the sky itself was so strong that he was able of casting a spell to turn his arms to wings – Manus, Pluma, Volantus – and reached the clouds again, leaving his jealous brother seething far below, bound to the earth forever.Skywing Elves: Skywing elves are rarely seen, as they tend to travel alone. Though it’s unlikely that a randomly met Skywing has wings, they will still have a connection to Sky magic and the power it holds. Consider creating them to be nomads, merchants, guardians, explorers, or even thieves.Distinctions: Free-Spirited: can shove down fear and insecurity into other types of stress.Winp-Whisperer: can enter or leave an event more easily.Wingover: you are more agile and stronger when flying with your wings.EarthbloodTales of Xadia TTRPG: Eathblood elves rarely venture beyond their forest homes.Earthblood elves live in multiple settlements in the Uncharted Forest, some reclusive, some territorial.They are the most physically diverse of all elf types, thanks to their varied places of origin around Xadia. Their features reflect their “home soil.” Those born in the Uncharted Forest typically have antler-like horns and plant-like features, while those from the mountains often have crystalline horns and rock-like skin.Their settlements and lifestyles are equally diverse and adaptive. Some elves, like the Drakewood’s vicious drakeriders are highly territorial warriors who live in entrenched in remotes mountains or underground strongholds. Others are worldly globetrotters, traversing great distances by way of ancient tunnels threated beneath Xadia, harnessing natural magics found in crystalline caves and exotic oases. It’s said that the oldest Earthblood elves slowly become one with the Earth itself and that the oldest trees and stones are in fact their ancient ancestors.As a group, they have practical natures and are usually more concerned with comfort and efficiency than ceremony and formalities. They often wear simple clothes designed to harmonize with their environment and often prefer blending in to standing out.They have a tendency to avoid conflicts, and as such can be seen as detached or introverted. Some are, but others are just as passionate and lively as the Sunfire elves. They have a deep love and respect for the natural world and a insatiable curiosity.Earthblood Elves: When creating a Earthblood character, it is important to remember that they are also connected all the things that grow from the earth, and their appearance and attitudes may vary wildly because of it. Some are as soft in temperament as flower petals, others as tough and stubborn as stone. Start with what aspect of Earth magic they feel most connected to, and how they are personally motivated.Distinctions: Earth Focus: when in contact with the earth or minerals, have a better chance to succeed.Fellowship: others have a better chance to succeed around you.Wood-Wise: you can use herbal remedies to recover stress more effectively than normally.TideboundTales of Xadia TTRPG: They are the most elusive of all elves. They aren’t “bound” to the sea, but they do make their homes there, using it as a safe-haven from the squabbles of land-dwellers. They resemble aquatic creatures with fins, webbing, and horns like coral. Some in the deep sea might even have bioluminescent features.Tales speak of a Archmage Akiyu, but she has vanished from any modern texts, even from the most extensive libraries.Humans have historically mistaken these elves for sea monsters, with some sailors claiming to have gone mad from hearing their sea-songs. Others claim kind-hearted ones bore them to shore after a shipwreck.Hensen, a Katolian butcher: “I heard a story of a lighthouse keeper in the south of Katolis who disappeared and left a note saying that he has “fallen for the sea.” It was assumed he’d drowned himself, but years later, a grave appeared on the island he’d abandoned, and on the tombstone was the lighthouse keeper’s name. Atop the freshly turned soil was a sea-glass pendant and a woven kelp love-knot.”Elleth, an Evenerean sailor: “It was another long week of sailing the waters between Pawprint Isles and Dragontail, hoping to find large enough fish to feed guests from the north. I was getting tired. Complacent. I nearly let the schooner drift into the rocks! But as I was nodding off, my head dipping away from the horizon, I saw a trio of elven forms swimming parallel to my ship in the water below, waving frantically for me to steer east. I looked up just in time! Thank goodness. I was so grateful. As a gestor of respect to the tidebound culture, I set my catch of fish free.”Lothis, a Del Barian swimmer: “I was the strongest swimmer in the Human kingdoms, bar none Folks came from far and wide to challenge me. One day, a strange-looking fellow wearing a odd cap came up to me and challenged me to a race. Once we hit the water… he ‘became’ the water. He was gone in an instant. I didn’t stand a chance. All I could do was gape in his wake. Once he finished, he pulled off his cap, and I swear I saw some sort of fin on his head, and pointy ears. HE winked at me and disappeared under the waves. I never saw him again.”Tidebound Elves: Little is known about the elves who dwell beneath the sea, so it is recommended that writers keep their ear to the ground. Suffice to say that, no matter how many there are in number, they are not commonly found wandering the lands above the sea’s surface.I will be starting the Invader Zim on the 15th, with the 12th being the last Villains of Valley View compolation, and 13th and 14th being the elf and magic compilations of The Dragon Prince.The Next Poll will be SVTFOE books, Ducktales 2017 Books, Over the Garden Wall books, Tangled the series, Dead End, Darkwing Duck part 2, DND cartoon, Gravity Falls games, and Other.Link to the poll here: https://www.deviantart.com/1228248/poll/What-show-should-I-do-after-Invader-Zim-started-11-11-23-8368800I have decided to open a Patrion!
