#a little bit of lore

"I haven't experienced such a joy as this in seven years, Mac," Wukong whimpered. "I want to go back to being your ditzy roommate who you pretended to loathe. To your charming and excitable best friend, who thought you the only person trustworthy enough to show my anxieties. To sitting next to you as you read the required reading with me because I couldn't read the letters without mixing anything up. To sharing secrets in the middle of the night when we couldn't sleep. I don't want to be there anymore, okay?"

At that, his dream flickered, and for just a moment they were in a green and gold gilded room, shackles binding Wukong's wrists, and thick, golden bars with an extravagant design rising up to the ceiling like a birdcage, two (asleep) guards on either side. "I just want to--"

And then they were back in that field, beside that tree. "--pretend."

Doodling more thiriomoiras, some of the other thiriomoira children! Youths that are old enough to start training are dubbed novices. Thiriomoiras do a mix of ‘everyone in the village pitches in to train the youth so they have a vast range of skills’ and individual one on one mentoring.

The first year or so is spent learning all the different roles in the village and trying all of them, before slowly everyone is filtered into a specific role that they wish to specialize in. Roles such as guarding the village and taking on threats from predators or helping minimize damage from natural disasters, healing, or crafting are all valuable roles within their community. But there’s a range of other jobs as well, from building, to hunting, to gathering, and more.

Heres some more fun facts but not so much about the ship children

- Cabby isn't one to want kids herself BUT she loves babysitting the kids and has taken an aunt role for them all

- Silver and Knife are brothers and Knife is Candelabras uncle (bonus fact, Knife acts all tough still but is pretty soft with Candi)

- Candle owns her own crystal/witchcrafty shop so she is the main breadwinner while Silver is a stay at home dad

- Springy still had baby stuff left from years ago to reuse with Radio

- Cabby's Library is regularly visited by the kids, whether for babysitting like the first thing, or just for fun

-The youngest child out of all of the kids is Radio, and the oldest is Burrito (They all think it's Red tho)

Strangely, Jax and Kaufmo had not appeared for the morning role jingle. Stranger still was that Cain didn’t even know what was going on. He had sent bubble to go check it, but bubble seemed to be strangely frightened and refused to tell Cain what happened. All we heard was them mumbling, “Too sharp, too much drool, too much...” and then they went back to their old cheery selves. Cain decided that there was no adventure today; he also seemed strangely distant, like he was scared of something… Me, Gangle, and Zooble decided to see if we could find Jax and Kaufmo. It was more of me dragging them along, but... I was a little scared.

“Ragatha… I'm not sure if this is a good idea.” Gangle spoke to me as I fiddled with Jax's door.

“It’ll be fine, Gangle. He probably overslept.” I spoke

“Kaufmos’ doors slammed shut; nothing getting in there without a key.” Zooble shouted from down the hall

CLICK 

“Doors open, lets see what that rabbits up to,” I said 

Opening the door, two things were immediately evident: the smell and the hundreds of sharp keys jutting out on each wall of the room. The smell was overpowering, rancid, and disgusting—the smell of hot spit and blood. That was when we saw the rabbit seated in the middle of the room, hunching and whispering to himself.

“No, no, none of them are really reall. Hehehe, what was that, kauf? Do we have more visitors? Another scraping for freeedom? hehehHAHAHAHHAH” It was an unsettling laugh that I had never heard before, gutral like a rabid animal.

"Jax, let me out? Hehehe, no, NO, Kauf, then Ms. Pom will wake up to….. She’ll be even more annoying than you are, screaming about being locked up… hehehehhahahah AHAHAHHHA….”

“Jax? Are you okay?” Gangle said, breaking the silence

In a horrifying display, Jaxs’ neck folded and with a sickening snap and crack, his head hung upside down, staring at us.

Something choked out of his throat; it sounded unmistakably like Kaufmo. “RAGATHA. RUN!”

Then it was terrifying. Jax sprang up and ran at us with crazed eyes and an open, bloodied mouth. Zooble got there just in time to slam the door shut and hold it against the pounding and smashing of the crazed Jax. Something then suddenly shot through the door, only stopping inches from Gangles mask, a key, razor sharp, and pointed like a spear.

We piled as much as we could on his door to stop him. It was a mountain of things; it held, but we didn’t know for how long. 

Jax seemed to stop around an hour later… we can hear him beg us to let him out, to “be his prey.” We should tell Cain, but we don’t know if he would turn this into an adventure or put Jax somewhere where it would be impossible to solve what is going on with him. 

For now we will have to wait.

heh lore be fun sometimes.

I want more bane and bhaal lore!! (As in their followers) 😺

Well, depends on what you mean!

I am intimately familiar with two Banites, and I've semi-dissected one of them-- that being Gortash.

There are a lot more, because Banite philosophy was actually pretty prominent for a while in certain areas, including Thay (think 'the big Necromancy spooky magic place') and Moonsea and some other places that really resonated with him and his whole gimmick. Bane had 'a sort' of son who served a very particular purpose, similar to Bhaal, and that tends to be a theme between them. They despise each other, but Bane? He's had entanglements (for better or worse) with other Gods. He's actually open to working with them if it achieves his goals. There's tons of little facts about him and his worshippers, but I could go on forever about Bane and all his funky little facts.

I know a bit more about Bane because Bane is more in my wheelhouse and his lore is pertinent to some of my writing and my work. He makes for forging fascinating characters just because of the sheer complexity of the type of people he attracts as a God. It's not just raw-dog evil. There's actually good that has been accomplished under Bane. There's neutrality. It's a complex web.

Bhaal, in my opinion, is a bit more simple. He's the god of blood, ritualistic killing, and just basically the grotesque art of murder. You know who he attracts. People who want to kill other people wantonly. It's much more simplistic. It doesn't seem (to me personally) that there's a whole lot of nuance there. He's very much an evil god for evil's sake.

He is the main antagonist of most of the Baldur's Gate games. He has tons of 'kids' running around called Bhaalspawns, which is why they mention it so casually and everyone knows what it is. They actually turned on him and defeated him earlier in the series.

He's a bit of a hypocrite, because he does not, in fact, like being murdered himself.

That being said, I still do know a bit about him especially since he's such a prominent 'evil' God.

So it depends on the type of stuff you're looking for! Are you looking for just general facts about their apotheosis, godhood, subsequent fall, resurrection, etc? A dissection on the type of people they attract? A bit more about their actual history?

I'm happy to oblige anything!

Angels are the most beloved creations of the Sun. Untouched by the Moon, they radiate the Sun's warmth even into the darkest corners of the City. Or at least they die trying. Angels are trying to not communicate with the Moon too much, otherwise they believe that they'll get corrupt. Although there has only been one such case in history…

So... I've been playing Echoes of Wisdom again, and I wanted to have Hyrule to do the pose the Great Fairy does in the game.

I want to have him do all the Great Fairy Poses.

Wish me luck!

Raven and Tim were the next one to know as Babs brought them in a room with a powerpoint about the fairy boy in Alfred's garden.

Raven because she knows most all mythical creatures in her personal library books and hopefully has a solution to how to capture and relocate the fairy..

Tim for the strategy and backup plans, but his mouth was currently being duct taped shut because Babs will kill him if he say those words.

"Alright, do you have any questions, and what are your solutions plan for capture misplaced Fairy?" Babs said after finishing the powerpoint.

"How exactly did Alfred acquire this flower that the winged fae resided in?"Raven said, looking through her books of Fae history and homes.

"Alfred saw it was the only thing left on the sale, and discount flowers stand at his favorite grocery store, but he got it for free since the tag for it was gone and the manager did had a crush on him. I believe it is a bit far too coincidental." Babs continues to explain.

"I checked the groceries camera footages and it seem to just appear out of nowhere, like some type of glitch in the system."

"... It sounds like a misplaced infinite realm random natural portal incident.." Raven mumbled a bit, flipping a book's pages with her telekinesis to the correct page with the number at the very end chapter of fae and infinite realms.

"Infinite realm..?" Tim voice a bit after tearing off the double duct tape off his mouth, rubbing his stinging lips.

"Yes, seem the little fae was judge as an offering that was rejected to a Higher being of the Infinite realm or offended due to a defect such as his wings are missing." Raven thought about it after several examinations.

"The fae still has sparkling dust on his clothes that was likely fae powder-

"-Pixie dust" babs said a bit too excitedly

"Scars all over his body and on his back look to been recently that he was tortured and his wings were Intently torn off to make sure he didn't had a chance to escape back to fae realm, along with being placed back into his home flower stuck in hibernation phase while contaminated with the infinite realm energy.

Seem the nature portal randomly was this fae saving grace, as it instinctly went straight for sugar cube, a blueberry and gem that didn't have silver coating along with its body pushing itself hard to fly with the remaining residue of fae powder that the buzzing sound was likely a former lightning since Fae noises can not be heard by the human ear even with boasting of magic unless you had step into the fae rings." Raven explained as she read the chapter.

"Do fairies tend to die if you say that.." Babs trying to say by pointing at to emphasize the words on the powerpoint that typed words theory of fairies dying if humans say they don't exist??

"Unfortunately, it seemed so as thousand years or so began to humans lost interests, offerings or belief to Fae-

"Fairies-

-Azarath Metrion Zinthos, they tend to lose power and seemingly fade away into a painfully slow death is very rare, which was counter by them cutting off the entrances of their own fairy rings to the world to save their immortalized skin." Raven said after getting interrupt for the second time, using the shadows to cover Babs mouth so she can finished explaining.
