[porcelain-bjd-art-dolls]

I like when they seems to change expression just moving a little de camera or the light. She is ready for the first firing now but I think I will not change anything else. If she stays just a little more in my desk, I know me, I will mess up her for sure 😬 Does it happens to you, not to be able to stop on time? It can be so hard, it is a constant fight against myself 😅 Have a nice day 😘😘😘 #dollmaster #dollprocess #dollmaking #porcelainartdolls #bisquedolls #porcelainart #porcelainbjd #bjdporcelain #asianbjd #balljointdolls #ig_bahiablanca (en Bahia Blanca, prov.

Lapis Manalis and Reaper Lore

In the mountains to the east of Garlemald, inside the cavern of Lapis Manalis, there is an abandoned village where Garleans once practiced the Reaper arts.

The Reapers were skilled warriors who carried out missions for the senate and played an invaluable role in the Garlean military. However, they fell out of favor as Emperor Solus devoted more resources to magitek. When some rose as insurrectionists, the order was outlawed.

The Galateae, masterfully crafted dolls, were crucial in the Reaper's training. Only those who have successfully forged a pact with an avatar may spar with the Galatea Parva, and the Galatea Magna is reserved for those who can serve as a host to their avatar.

The Dollmaster's Memorandum reveals that the art of making Galateae has been lost, making repairs difficult and reproduction impossible. The knowledge was kept secret and passed down to those who would inherit the position of master dollmaker.

Trivia:

In the Latin language, a "lapis manalis" referred to two sacred stones used in the Roman religion. One of these stones covered the gate to the realm of the Underworld, preventing the souls of the dead, or the "Manes," from wandering the Earth. A ceremony was held three times a year to remove the stone and allow the dead to communicate with the living. The other stone was used to make rain and may not have a direct relationship with the Manes. It is instead derived from the verb "manare”, meaning "to flow" and it is known as the "stone that throws water." The first stone could be related to how reapers are able to communicate with otherworldly souls, their voidsent avatar. The second stone could be related to the abundant Ceruleum spring that flows inside the cavern and blends well with Cagnazzo being the archfiend of water.

Dollmaster's Memorandum: Maintenance of the Galateae must be handled with the utmost of care. The delicate art of their making has long since been lost, making repairs difficult, and reproduction all but impossible.

The knowledge was kept secret, passed down to those who would inherit the position of master dollmaker. That is, until one man chose to break with tradition.

He claimed to be leaving on a journey in pursuit of an “unparalleled beauty,” but we never learned the truth of it. The only thing that is certain, is the art of our forebears left with him.

I feel like we all know who this is referring to.

[claire-starsword]

Villain time

Cain [Human]

The face hidden under the mask is...?

Commander of Runefaust's elite group, the "Silver Knight Squadron". By Darksol's orders, he led a squad to the Gate of the Ancients and one to raid Guardiana, and overthrew Guardiana's castle.

His weapon, the demon sword "Sword of Darkness" carries the magical power of "Desoul", and along with Cain's own ability can also spread the scorching flames known as "Flames of Hell". The protagonist's greatest rival.

____

Mishaela [Dark Elf]

The dark elf witch followed by monsters

The "Dollmaster". A Runefaust witch whose weapon is the "Magic of Cursed Manipulation", which lets her control cursed dolls and magical beasts.

Following Darksol's orders, she shows up against the force to gather information. Resenting the defeat of her clone, the Mishaela Doll, she goes after the protagonist.

____

Mishaela Doll [?]

Cursed living doll

A doll that has possessed a soul for hundreds of years, and became a monster by receiving part of Mishaela's own cells from her. Mishaela is fond of it for being a clone of herself. It can use high level cold spells.

____

Elliot [Dragonewt]

The dragonman general who fight for his own justice

The supreme commander for the forces conquering the west side of the continent. Head of a family of dragonmen (dragonewts) that answers to Runefaust since ancient times.

Though he knows the current Runefaust is immoral, the people of his territory were taken as hostages by Darksol, so he has no choice but to fight. He believes the protagonist is a legendary hero, and to test his power, challenges the Shining Force to battle at Pao Plains.

_____

Balbazak [Human]

The steel general who commands the great fort

A general sent alongside Elliot to conquer the western side of the continent. He commands the base of operations for this conquest, Uranbatol.

He used to be a nameless soldier, but became a subject for Darksol's human experiments and gained a strengthened body.

Contrasting with Elliot, he's a cunning and cowardly man. As soon as he heard the Shining Force had broken into the fort, he began planning his escape.

_____

Ramladu [Human]

The superhuman emperor of Runefaust's army

Arc Rei Ramladu VI. Runefaust's emperor. The greatest authority there.

He was once known as a wise king who ruled fairly, but the tactician Darksol appeared one year ago inspiring ambitions of conquering the continent on him, and thus he began running down a dark path.

In his youth he would also head into battle himself, and was known as a dauntless warrior. That power hasn't faded at all in present times.

______

Chaos [Robot]

Crazed killing machine

A mechanical soldier created by the Ancients' science. He was originally a robot created to help the heroes that would seal Dark Dragon but, by Darksol's magic, turned into a devilish machine to fight the protagonist. He is something of a big brother to Adam, but his battle skills are far greater.

______

Colossus [?]

Guardian of the Castle of the Ancients

The defense system of the Castle of the Ancients where Dark Dragon is sealed. Created by the ancients.

They eliminate those who break into the castle without following the right procedures.

______

Darksol [?]

The demon king from a world of darkness

The tactician holding the real power over Runefaust's army. Even Emperor Ramladu is dancing at the palm of his hand.

His real identity is entirely a mystery. It seems he dreams of reviving Dark Dragon and conquering this world.

______

Dark Dragon [?]

Will it awaken from its 1000 year slumber?

The ultimate living weapon that is said to be behind the collapse of the past civilization. It was sealed in the Castle of the Ancients by the ancient people, but is waking up from its long sleep. The Shining Force's final enemy.

______

Notes on Cain:

The Flames of Hell are mentioned in the japanese version (and GBA), since he uses them to kill Varios.

Notes on Mishaela & Mishaela Doll:

Mishaela Doll was called Marionette in the localization, but the info here really makes it sound like a unique creature so I kept the more specific japanese name. Despite that, several of it show up in Final Conflict later on. The strategy guide for that game even mentions that they are mass produced.

Also, while this guide only talks about cells, the japanese manual says the doll was made with Mishaela's own soul.

Notes on Balbazak:

blah blah blah the english localization cut some dialogue etc etc you know the drill by now don't you

"I rebuilt your body, gave you the blood of a dragon master, and you still betrayed me..."

The GBA version even elaborated upon this dragon master thing by giving Balbazak a Blue Dragon, which makes sense since Balbazak apparently leads the Magical Beast division of the army. However, "dragon master" is also the japanese name for Bleu's promoted class, so it's possible that the original game meant he received dragon blood.

Notes on Chaos:

The big brother comment plus Adam's original HQ quote make me very emo:

"Darksol... I cannot forgive him. Even Chaos was used by him... I won't ever forgive him..."

:(
