Veridia: Introductions III (Surprise Return of the Introduction Posts)

Sooooo, about this ROS: I did roll a D6, and then I ignored it. Some of Veridia's newcomers will become townies and some of them will be playables. Because that's what I want and it's my game.

Many words below explaining backstory/plot/bullshit I made up on the fly. Most of it's just restating what characters were talking about in the last post. You can scroll past it and look at the pictures, I won't complain:

As has been mentioned once or twice, Veridia isn't a kingdom in itself but a village/town within a larger area (Abona) held by an overking. Abona is on the coast and is bordered in a few directions by several other kingdoms. The whole thing is basically a mess of different kingdoms on a large island.

(As an aside, theoretically Veridia tithes to the overking, and I'm gonna start taxing sims in the summer/fall to represent that. Also because some households are getting TOO wealthy already.)

Evervale (a port/Enna's home/the closest thing to a city) and Drossburh (has a lot of shitty caves, is probably where Elmet got werewolf'd) are also within Abona. Another town in Abona is Wyll, known for being home to several large covens of magical families. It's probably located on some magical locus or something like that. The covens are fairly powerful entities. Each family specializes in a specific type of magic, and the coven elders frequently arrange marriages within and between families in hopes of birthing more powerful witches. (Arturo will definitely laugh at and make fun of them for this if he ever learns about it.)

Unfortunately for Wyll, it's a border town and has been affected by a feud between two neighboring kingdoms. Thus far Abona has stayed out of the not-quite-war, but skirmishes within Wyll's borders and the fact that Abona is aligned with one of the participating kingdoms means it may enter the war soon.

With the threat of more soldiers at their doorstep, a few of Wyll's coven elders decided to send away representatives of their families as a precaution, ensuring that the magic lines (and all their hard work) won't go extinct if worst comes to worst in Wyll. An insurance policy, if you will. An offer to leave with them was extended to the "mundane" townsfolk as well, and accepted by a handful of sims. I suspect Veridia may see more people fleeing Wyll if the feud continues.

Now onto the actual introductions:

Orla is a young witch best described as 'happy-go-lucky'. She grew up in a very large family that specializes in healing magic; Orla herself has a fair hand for the spells but not for the herbal side of things; she doesn't have any luck with plants at all, for that matter. Don't ask for her help at planting time.

(Family/Knowledge, 4/8/4/7/7)

Maddan carries the blood of another of Wyll's witch lines, but has no capacity for magic himself. He became a soldier as a young man and over time has earned respect for his capability, even if he is a rather brusque person off the field as well as on. While he was healing at home from an injury, his family arranged his marriage to Orla. This and his bloodline are why the coven elders chose him to lead one of the groups from Wyll. In his free time, Maddan likes to whittle tiny ducks out of scrap wood.

(Fortune, 3/6/8/3/3)

River Farseer is descended from a line of soothsayers—fortune tellers, augurs, omen readers, whatever you want to call it. (They do dabble in augury from time to time, but hydromancy is their preferred method.) They prefer solitude and keep to themself a lot of the time, which made it easy enough to agree when the covens asked them to leave Wyll, so long as they don't have to stay with everyone else once they settle in Veridia. They recently became friends with Orla, though, thanks to Orla's sheer force of personality.

(Knowledge/Pleasure, 3/2/7/4/9)

Chewy is Orla's pet goat. You're never gonna guess how she got that name.

Myr can see how the winds are blowing in Wyll and decided to get out while the going's good, bringing her young brother, Acca, and their grandmother, Ælfwyn, with her. She is interested in the opportunities Veridia's growing market presents. Maybe a lady can build a business here without the covens breathing down her neck.

(Fortune/Romance, 3/6/7/5/4 | Grow Up, 4/7/8/3/3 | Family/Fortune, 6/5/8/3/3 )

After Wulfraed's marriage dissolved, he spent a lot of time drinking too much and having ill-advised encounters in taverns to cope. One morning he woke to find an infant in a basket on his doorstep. Now he's decided to take his daughter to Veridia, where they will be safer from stray soldiers and where people will stop asking who Kara's mother is, or why Kara's ears are so pointy… or her teeth, for that matter.

All that's Left is Aaravos

I realized allasudden that I haven't rolled around in Callum's left-handed possession motif yet, so let's poke it with a stick!

First off, I wrote this meta post about how Viren goes left-handed when Aaravos is directly controlling him some while ago. This is going to be Callum's version.

Let's start way back in the beginning, with the first time Callum cast a dark magic spell:

Callum is right handed - we see him sketching with his right hand - but when he does this dark magic spell, he uses his left. I don't see this as any sort of hard indicator of possession that far back, but he could've cast this spell with either hand, and they chose to animate him doing it with his left. A light bit of foreshadowing about handedness.

The next time this becomes an issue is in S4, when Callum gets possessed by Aaravos, which is only possible because he did cast that spell above. There's some very deliberate mirroring with Callum's and Aaravos's stances and reflections, where right = left. We get to see Aaravos, who is left-handed, deliberately using his right hand so that Callum's left hand is the one that gets used:

Later in S4, Callum tries to drop the Key of Aaravos in the lava with his left hand, but he can't manage it.

Once the Pearl is back in Katolis in S6, Callum has a One Ring-esque staring contest with it and seems to lose:

he immediately starts doing left-handed things near the Pearl:

There's even another left-handed cube moment that gets pretty blatant with its Aaravos coding:

In the moment, it's lighting up because Stella is present. But it's also foreshadowing for Aaravos's trickery with the Pearl switcheroo plan - he's already watching and listening to Callum's secret plan.

When Callum sleepwalks to the dark magic dungeon and picks up the pearl, he reaches to open the painting left handed too:

The shock of being overtaken in his sleep forces Callum to make a new plan for the Pearl, and when he says this line out loud, Aaravos sees some wiggle room for himself:

Aaravos needs the Pearl unswaddled by Callum's anti-magic blankie - which tells me that those stitched spells would have worked, if Callum had the real deal. And he also needs the Pearl defenseless in Katolis. He already has a Pharos-shaped pawn, a blind, human-hating dragon who's about to get his wings healed, and a devastated daughter in need of a new father figure.

All Aaravos needs to do to get his Pearl into Claudia's hands and get free is to trick Callum about which pearl he's really holding. The rest will fall into place like clockwork.

And when the dust of Katolis Castle settles, along with the scorched bones of Sol Regem... all that's left is Aaravos.

Another ask(?) Thingy.

What's your thoughts on Sebastian Solace from Roblox Pressure? My brain is infected with him and the game

Ooooh- I actually did have some thoughts about him.

Ngl, when I first saw them, I had my eyebrows raised and thought, "What is this? Is this what people are into now..?" And straight up thoughts it was a Twitter OC someone made. (Turned out, it wasn't a Twitter OC. But I guess I wasn't wrong about him being someone OC cause I read up some controversy involving people self shipping themselves w him and it made the creator uncomfortable so they ended up making a rule against it and banned people who upload ship art that involves him on a discord server. Didn't help the fact that he's canonically married so there's that. I could be wrong cause idk much about this and saw this on my timeline.)

The more i see them, I honestly could see why people like them. I even saw the full model and yeah- This guy is cool AF actually. I also like how he always had his hands held together like that with his other hands roaming around freely like that. (Also saw his killing animation and again, that shit is rad af.)

Such a polite man honestly. I heard he has his shop in which, Aaw.

The thing that made me sorta surprised was the fact this is from Roblox. I mean, not that surprising. Idk how to describe it. But it like seeing something you didn't pay much attention to and when you look into it, you're like, "Oh fuck, this shit from Roblox? Okay, okay, I see it now."

But yeah, he's really neat and pretty. What a nice lad
