Faes and Celestials - General lore

The Faes of my imaginary world are bug-inspired fantasy people. They have features taken from/inspired by real-life bugs, while still mostly looking human. The rules for how these features work/are distributed are still pretty loose because I can't make up my mind and I like to keep my options open. Some will have magically retractable features, while others may just have them all the time. Some will have certain features that others don't. I'm just doing me, who cares about rules.

There are many types of Faes, from the tribal societies of Spiders to the hellish and mythical underwater cities of Crustaceans, not to mention a whole range of different insects with different societal organizations. I'll cover each of those in more detail in separate posts.

Celestials take inspiration from both real-life birds and angels/dragons. The bird inspirations aren't as strong as the Faes' bug inspirations because I kinda gave up halfway through (sorry, I'm simply not as knoweldgeable about bids nor as into them as I am with bugs), but they're technically here.

There are 2 types of Celestials, Angels and Dragons (I'm not sure I like those names but I haven't found anything better yet).

Angels are pretty much what you'd imagine with this name, normal human-looking people who can sprout wings. The wings do take very different shapes from person to person, some can be basic feathered wings but some will be like. Electricity arc vaguely shaped like wings. It can be anything, really, but it does allow all of them to fly. There's definitely some big christian influences in their culture, but we'll cover that in some other post.

Dragons are also human-shaped but they can have scales and slit pupils. They're like spicy humans. And some of them can turn into actual dragons, but those actual dragons are like. Inspired by the idea that birds are dinosaurs and dragons are inspired by dinosaurs and anyways, what if dragons looked more like feathered dinosaurs than just fully scaled lizards with wings y'know? (at least following the typical european dragon designs, I know there are other types of dragons on other cultures, but this is the one I'm most familiar with).

The Fall Of The Ivory Mask

Focusing a bit on Mezzabareen this time, going back quite a way into the past (a good hundred years or so before The Ritual And The Apprentice for perspective.)

The Iron Mask

They run before me as I approach their ancestral home, screaming for their armies to save them. Their previous arrogance means nothing now, their certainty in their mastery of arms and battle proving worthless in the face of carefully engineering betrayal. It was barely three months ago that they broke the Mask’s Compact,; we each have our monopolies and to demand the relinquishment of various areas from each of us was never going to receive any response other than retribution. To claim that their dominion over weaponry gave them rights over the Jade Mask’s gladiators or the Coral Mask’s warships would have offended me on their behalf alone, but to demand my fortifications and metal hardening techniques? Well, such an insult could never go unanswered, even if it did mean that we had to accept their occupation of some of our more prized locations after the initial weeks of fighting were over and we had grown sufficiently certain we could not deal with the problem on our own and so were forced to meet to discuss amongst ourselves a proper response.

I must admit, I wanted to go in as hard as we could and as early as we could, mustering assassins to reach the Ivory Mask’s far flung retainers while hitting his holdings with as many ground forces as we could summon. The Jade Mask agreed with me, though such things are to be expected from her draconic temperament, but the rest of the Horned Masks had different ideas, demanding that we act in a more subtle or surgical manner. Eventually, the Obsidian Mask took the lead in our discussions despite both the Jade Mask’s bloodlust and my desire to respond to the offence quickly so that it remained standing for as little a time as possible; her monopoly on Mezzabareen’s punishment industries let her speak with the voice of experience in matters of breach of prior agreements and she parlayed this expertly into having the dominant right to determine the nature of our response. The Silver Mask had the practical experience of alchemy to ensure that the Ivory Masks’ strength of arms would be meaningless, supplying enough poison that their soldiers would soon be laid low, while the Bone Mask had managed to maintain an image of not being entirely opposed to the current course of events since the Ivory Mask was one of her best customers; there was a constant demand for her flesh-crafting and medical services to prevent the more valuable retainers from being lost to mishaps with the development of their weapons, and so her retainers still had some access to the mercenary camps and could introduce the poison to the water supply.

Of course, such an attack was expected; the first set of retainers sent in with the poison were purely expendable, and were watched and caught in no short order with no more than a few scant casualties to show for the attempt. Still, it allowed the Bone Mask to winnow her staff pool of a few of her more useless people, and softened up the Ivory Mask for the true attack. There are a remarkable range of diseases in this world, and many which are known to only a few specialists, of which the Bone Mask has several; while most can identify a common pox or the bloody tears of a Weeping Disease sufferer, not all diseases are quite as obvious or as easily contained. All she explained was that those who were being sent in would be infected with something she called the Skin Shedding Disease, and that it would be best if no-one we valued was nearby when they went in; she assured us that anyone who breathed the air near a sufferer would likely as not catch the disease with ever y single breath they took, and that within a few days they would soon die as great strips of skin would peel and slough away from the flesh underneath.

True to her word, any place that the retainers were sent to soon ended up resembling a charnel house rather than any place befitting their original purpose. No doubt a few of the afflicted might have fled, struggled into the streets, but such things have a way of resolving themselves; the lesser classes would eventually figure out the nature of the latest tragedy to hit them and isolate the causes along with anyone else foolish enough to get caught up in the hysteria. With that, the Jade Mask and I were granted our wish to go to war at long last. The Jade Mask took her gladiators to the streets, hitting those who operated freelance within Mezzabareen and the surrounding islands subjugated to our purpose; as much as this was about avenging ourselves upon the Ivory Mask, there was a need to ensure that the lesser classes remained appropriately fearful and subjugated and seeing those with any ties to our enemy hunted down by gladiators would certainly be spectacle and warning enough. Less expected was the Jade Mask taking to the streets themselves; clearly being denied immediate vengeance had raised her ire significantly, and anyone unfortunate enough to have her find them were soon demolished with claw and venomous breath as several tons of incredibly angry dragon bore down on them.

The main assault, however, fell to me, the price I demanded for going along with the Obsidian Mask’s plan. She did not seem too displeased to hand that responsibility off to another one of the Horned Masks, happy to stay back and organise the appropriate sentence and then let others carry out the execution. Assaulting their main mansion was going to be bloody work, and I did not have the benefit of most of the defences being dead before I arrived like many of the other battles that would be occurring this night. Still, I had my reasons for demanding such an expensive part of the job; a significant part of it was that I wanted to exact the price for besmirching me personally, but there were also appearances to consider and successfully delivering such a prestigious set of deaths would clearly deliver the message to anyone else considering an unwise move against me that they should strongly reconsider such idiocy. Those were the public reasons for taking the task; less obvious (though most already had substantial suspicions) was that a group steeped in so much death and injury would prove a valuable resource for my well cultivated side-line business in blood magic. As many as possible would be exsanguinated, their blood used to imbue trusted retainers with martial prowess and more with potent tattoos at a later date, and their blood would no doubt also lend itself to the creation of some particularly effective homunculi as well; while I had brought the usual mercenaries and cut-throats with me, much of my forces were of my own private stock, soldiers with blades of crystalline blood or hearts replaced with black enchantments so they would never feel fear or pain or mercy. Further back were the homunculi that crawled on spindly proboscises, each jointed to a leathery sac to contain all the blood they would extract as they leapt upon their enemies and drained them to withered husks, ready to harvest all they could.

In true Mezzabareenian fashion, the centre of the Ivory Masks’ various businesses looked from the outside like a perfectly ordinary noble mansion. The surrounds were practically under her control, and the fighting through those streets had been bloody and violent, numerous mercenaries foolish enough to think they could stand against us, cut down as we approached, but now we stood in front of the central estate. Needless to say, anyone who entered the grounds was soon disabused of the notion, with the spiked railings along the main path to the house flying into the air, dozens of spears enchanted to fight by themselves disguised as an ordinary garden decoration for times of peace. Such things were merely an opening move in the battle, and though we lost a few men left groaning and bleeding out on the gravel path from savage gut wounds the spears were soon snapped and shattered and no longer a threat. They had still served their intended purpose, delaying our approach long enough that anyone inside the mansion would have had enough time to retrieve their own weapons and summon any personal bodyguards to them, but they were going to be fighting a battle for survival rather than for time as they had initially planned for; there were going to be no reinforcements coming from other locations they controlled scattered across Mezzabareen as they were much too busy with my fellow Horned Mask’s actions, and we had established a cordon of guards around the grounds so that nobody would be able to flee the upcoming massacre.

I swept into the main entry hall flanked by two of my best retainers; I had bound them together in a particularly long and difficult blood rite, linking them as blood brothers so that they now fought together as one. The hallway was already in disarray, my forces having entered and spread out across the ground floor in search of their victims; the more disreputable amongst them were just as likely motivated by anything small and valuable they could steal as the pay I had promised, but so long as it did not distract them from the main task at hand and any important papers were left untouched they were welcome to strip the place of any wealth. A few had attempted to climb the massive stairs running up through the centre of the room to reach the floor above, but none had succeeded and their corpses had been hurled back down to the hall to dissuade anyone but the bravest from following them; standing on the top flight was a narrow man, gaunt and spindly with the black ivory pin showing his allegiance and trusted position on his white coat which was unstained by any blood despite the signs of violence around him. I had heard tale that the Ivory Mask had on her payroll a blade master that he had furnished with the best sword they had, and this dark elf certainly fit the bill for such descriptions; the sword he held by his side did not look like one which was for show, a simple steel blade with basket hilt that shimmered in the light.

Clearly, the Ivory Mask and anyone of importance had taken refuge upstairs, reliant on the skills of this dark elf to protect them. We could have attempted to reach the first floor another way, sent people up the side of the building to break through the windows, but no doubt there would be contingency plans for such a thing as well. Besides, we were going to kill everyone associated with the Ivory Mask; that included this blade master, and it had been a while since I had a truly satisfying fight. I waved off my paired bodyguards, certain that they would step in if they needed to and certain that they would not need to, and as I strode up the stairs I asked the dark elf his name.

“Ravaul,” was all the response I got. I had heard mutterings about a Ravaul, that he was the fastest swordsman in all of Mezzabareen, but I had advantages of my own that would prove more than sufficient to best him and such rumours always were a little hyperbolic. I approached with my weapon pointed direct at him, a great maul of crystalline blood around my right hand from which three feet of bloody blade jutted, and as soon as I was within three paces he moved, batting my blade away before running his sword straight through my midriff. I had no cause to worry as I had already linked myself to a good number of my workers back in one of my underperforming mines, and one of them would now be splitting in two, taking my death for me; a cheap way to judge my opponent, and now I had the measure of him and his speed. Ravaul moved back into stance quickly, readying for a further attack, but the unexpected nature of my survival had slowed his recovery a little, giving me enough time to assume a defensive posture and prepare to defend against the next strike. He came in fast again, and I barely warded him off, attack after attack at lightning speed; numerous times his blade sank into my flesh, no blow quite as lethal as the first, but none of them would affect me as long as I remained bound to my workers so that every single injury afflicted one of them at random instead. I could see in his eyes he had no real idea what was going on, facing an opponent seemingly immune to harm. Was I immortal, perhaps? Did my flesh heal unnaturally fast? Perhaps he wasn’t actually hitting me when he thought he was, or this was just some kind of demented illusion? I certainly had no intention of filling him in on the real nature of what was happening; if he really wanted to know, he should have been better read and better informed. As it was, he was beginning to tire, his swings and thrusts getting a little slower and easy to dodge each time; clearly he was used to cutting down opponents on his first strike so often that he had never really trained endurance like he should. We continued to duel, his sword clattering against the ruby red edge of my bloody sword, and then he made his mistake; a thrust that had too much force behind it and would overextend his arm. I could have parried and tried to disarm him as part of the same sweep of my blade, but that ran the risk of failure if he managed to keep a solid grip on the blade still; far better to not parry and let him sink the blade straight through and then twist the body, wrenching the handle free at best and snapping the blade off inside me at worst. He saw what I was doing and tried to withdraw his sword, but by then it was too late, and he had little more than a foot of broken blade left in his hand as the steel snapped from my wrenching turn; I continued the motion and swept my crystalline blade though his neck, the remnants of his blade too short to bring up to block me in time.

His head came off clean and bounced down the stairs to join the corpses he had created early. One of the blood collecting homunculi was nearby and so I commanded it to drain as much of Ravaul’s blood as it could get; hopefully his skill with the blade could be harnessed later. By then, my two twinned bodyguards had approached, and with care begun to pull the remains of the sword from me, letting it clatter to the ground once it was out. Once the blade was out, the wound immediately healed, transferring away to another worker and leaving me good as new. The worst of the battle was surely over now, and we swept the upper floor to find every last servant and retainer and put them to death. An old room near the back of the mansion that clearly saw little use held the Ivory Mask, kept safe or so he thought behind an inch of solid metal; while it took a little while to break the door off the hinges, we did not suffer from a shortage of time and the door was breached soon enough. Some small credit must be given to the Ivory Mask in that he did not beg, though how much of that was dignity and how much was that he knew that it would have no effect I do not know; still, he stood and fought (with a particularly devious blade that snaked around as he wielded it) but all to no avail, my blade cutting him down like all the rest I came across.

We had started the attack late in the evening, and it was early morning by the time we were done, having swept the mansion top to bottom three times to ensure there were no survivors hiding anywhere. A job well done, and my honour restored; not too bad for a single night’s work. As the mercenaries and cut-throats filed out of the grounds, collecting their pay as they left, I looked over the building. Traditionally one would burn the place, but for a Horned Mask such an act seemed particularly gauche; his death alone would result in their holdings unravelling and fragmenting as enemies moved in to take their revenge, no longer afraid of the Ivory Mask’s retributions. There was no need to destroy the mansion, and no-one would dare enter the grounds for fear of any remaining defences. Besides, I wanted to leave the place behind to moulder and decay, unloved and unmaintained, a monument to what I had done here; if any of the other Horned Masks complained all I needed do was point out they gave me full discretion to prosecute this part of the plan, and I had most assuredly delivered. No, this job was well done, and now it was complete.

- - -

The word spread around Mezzabareen like wildfire. It was hardly surprising, seeing how many other attempts to retaliate against a Horned Mask or otherwise embarrass us had ended in grievous failure, but even with the consideration that it was the rest of us prosecuting one of our own that resulted in their erasure the people of Mezzabareen could hardly believe it. The loss of one of the eight Horned Masks was a significant shift, sure, but word soon moved to which of us would seize the now unclaimed monopoly on weapons and defences. We had already agreed it would no longer be a monopoly, and each of us would therefore have our own weapons and defences from then on, but even with leaking this information there were still those who insisted this was a move by one of us to seize another monopoly. No matter – fools will be fools, no matter how careful you are to try and convince them otherwise. More worrying for me was the rumour that sprung up and would not be squashed no matter who I had punished for expressing it; while most believed that the Ivory Mask and anyone close enough to him to have a claim on his mask were now dead, some insisted that his youngest daughter managed to escape. The details varied between every telling, with some saying there was a secret tunnel, others teleportation across impossible distances through the wards that specifically counteracted such attempts, and so on and so forth with varying levels of plausibility between improbably and downright impossible. It seemed Mezzabareen’s rumour mill couldn’t just give me a complete victory, even with the newfound respect I was being afforded by those afraid they might otherwise be next. The Mask would go unclaimed, of course – no-one could actually get to it past the defences in the grounds (not to mention the large volume of what were likely very angry ghosts). Still, the rumour demanded an answer to be given by public announcement, and after discussions it was felt I should give it seeing as I was so instrumental to the punishment.

I am not accustomed to public speaking in more rarefied crowds, something many of the Horned Masks knew and were no doubt counting on to diminish my star after the recent victory. A good number of citizens had turned up at news that we would be explaining what had happened to the Ivory Mask, but most had lives and other things to be getting on with, and so it was only a straggly crowd amassed there.

“Mezzabareenians. We have killed the Ivory Mask and his retainers for transgressions against the Mask’s Compact. The Horned Mask itself remains in the grounds which will remain as a memorial of what it means to cross us. As to recent rumours – should there be a legitimate bearer of the Ivory Mask, all they need to do is spend a night in the mansion itself; if they are truly of the Ivory Mask, the defences will not harm them. That is all,” I said, standing on the raised stone in front of the square as was customary despite the thin crowd making the height to see over them unnecessary. Speech done and the seeds planted to quash the tiresome belief in a successor, I returned to my work, this little saga wrapped up.

It took less than a week for the first false claimant to come forward and die by our hands. By the end of the month, there were seven dead false claimants; following that, maybe one or two, sometimes none, month on month on month.

Of course, they never succeeded. Of course, they never could.

Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age - Annalee Newitz [Thoroughly enjoyable, but also the sort of pop archaeology book where things like this happen repeatedly, and I’m sorry, but I laughed: “And then, as if by magic, the eminent University of Cambridge archaeologist Andrew Wallace-Hadrill appeared.” (As far as the narrative admits, they did not have an appointment; while they were wandering around Pompeii, collecting information about his speciality, he was wandering around Pompeii, happy to be encountered and become a source.)]

Teach Me - Olivia Dade

The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power - Deirdre Mask

We Are Watching Eliza Bright - A.E. Osworth [“I am not going to read the gamergate novel,” I said, “and especially not when it’s using 1st person plural MFA POV half of the time,” but then I voyeuristically devoured the gamergate novel which is, really, its point: “We are obsessed with what goes on where we can’t see it.”] *

The Scarlet Seed - Edith Pargeter [the scenes that made me cry as a child still make me cry now, and that’s rather nice]

The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo - Zen Cho [Five books later, I’m prepared to admit that Zen Cho and I aligned for one glorious novel and some related characters (Sorcerer to the Crown; Rollo & Aunt Georgiana), and I’m mostly indifferent to everything else, but I keep trying because there’s always a sentence like this: “Being good-looking and interesting and having the heavy-lidded gaze of a romantic tapir does not excuse writing a foolish book.”]

Tales from Moominvalley - Tove Jansson

Goblin Fruit - Celia Lake [dnf]

Coffee Boy - Austin Chant [trying to do more than its length and thin characterization can carry, but also heartening in the main character’s explicit refusal to embody a limited and patronizing narrative of marginalized suffering; I wouldn’t want every trans romance to do this so overtly, just as I don’t want every queer romance to be about overcoming homophobia, but I want a few of them to (fair also to note that in contemporary settings, I find boss/intern scenarios really unappealing, and no, I don’t care if they talk about it; had it been longer I would almost certainly have bailed)]

Uncanny Valley - Anna Wiener [didn’t really plan to read this; definitely didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did - I thought it would be just another new adult navel-gazing indictment of tech bros, and it is, but it’s got seriously good style to go with it] *

Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade - Diana Gabaldon

A Seditious Affair - KJ Charles [because once you’re 75+ comments into an increasingly-involved modern AU, the only reasonable thing to do is give in (looking back at the innocence of this mid-June annotation...oh, you sweet summer child)] *

CHAPTER 01: paper faces on parade

the basics:

                             YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND…                                   The Purist Society’s Black and White Ball:                      A Celebration for those of Pure of Heart, Body, and Soul.

The Order of the Phoenix is in dire need of new recruits; to expand their underground empire is to add fuel to the destruction of He Who Must Not Be Named and his villainous army of Death Eaters. As such, some of the senior members of the Order–including Arthur Weasley and Remus Lupin–have joined heads to create an event to be held on neutral soil that will, hopefully, escape Death Eater notice and attention. Hosted in the underbelly of London society, the Order of the Phoenix is holding a masquerade ball to entice new fledgling members of The Order of the Phoenix to attend their recruiting event and join the ranks alongside the famed Boy Who Lived and Co. The masquerade ball is located underneath an abandoned apothecary’s shop, in a large underground basement dwelling space that has been transformed into a ballroom, complete with food, soft music, and glittering lights.

All neutral party members and those who support the Order but haven’t yet joined leagues are expected and encouraged to meet and fraternize with prominent members of the Order of the Phoenix. The hope, ultimately, is that at the end of the night, the Order will have sworn in at least a dozen new members into their ranks.

how to get in:                            

All interested members, who have been sought out by the Order or targeted by them as potential members for their organization, have been delivered magicked Galleon replicas, charmed by Hermione Granger herself, bearing an engraved Order insignia underneath the Galleon’s usual markings. The ball has been designed under the pretense of purity so as to distract Death Eaters and Dark Lord sympathizers from questioning the motives of a social gathering in such times of distress. Anyone interested in attending the ball need only take their coin, turn it three times, and the location of the ball will be revealed to them. Upon arrival, interested parties or existing Order members must use the code name they’ve been given at the door in order to receive admittance. Once inside, and under the guise of masks to protect themselves, Order members and unofficial members alike may fraternize as they see fit.

A warning has been established with all dispensed coins: should anyone given a coin disclose the information or give the coin to any member of He Who Must Not Be Named’s party, the master copy of the coin locked up at Grimmauld Place would burst into flames and melt, alerting the top ranking members of the Order that the event was compromised and needed to be shut down immediately.

the death eaters:  

Unfortunately for the Order, what they hadn’t been counting on was Alexander Barrett and Elvira Blanche stumbling across their plan completely by accident following a raid of a local Muggle-born’s house in Surrey. Through a difficult performance of Legilimency, Alexander Barrett was able to uncover that neutrals and potential Order members would be hosting a social event with an exclusive access key in the form of code names and coins. Using this information to their advantage, the Death Eaters have taken coins from party goers all across England through unsavory means, using Legilimens to reveal all necessary information they needed to infiltrate the Order’s underground recruiting party. As the information was neither told nor given by any of the victims, who were later slaughtered or jailed for potential crimes against the Dark Lord, the Order is thus far unaware that the Death Eaters have wind at all of their party.

As such, the Death Eaters and followers who have been assigned to infiltrate the party are using the cover of the masquerade and the code names and coins they’ve lifted from victims to gain entry into the masquerade ball. Their plan isn’t to attack, but rather to watch and gain information crucial in comprehending how the Order works and how they can best crush them in this war.

dress code:  

Everyone attending the Order’s risque masquerade ball are expected to dress for the occasion. The official theme of the event is a black and white ball, and all attendees are expected to dress in their best formal wear. Players are encouraged to post pictures / collages of their characters’ outfits to help the rest of the group visualize what they will be wearing.

the technicalities:  

Ivory and Bone’s first group event is set to have an estimated two week timeline (from August 18th to September 1st). During this time, the headmistresses ask that any starters or threads created within this timeline revolve strictly around the location and content of the event. We also ask that all members attempt to engage in at least one full length para thread for the event, and shorter threads / convos are, as always, welcome in addition.

Members may also create the code name they’ve created for their character for the event, should they so choose, and post it alongside their costume for other members to see. Last but not least, all starters for the event may be tagged with “iabstarter” and “iabevent”.

If you have any questions, whether in regards to the event or anything else, feel free to contact the headmistresses as you see fit! The point of this event is to have fun and progress the group in an inclusive manner, and we hope to see you all at the masquerade ball!
