(thinking about my deranged crossover WoLship today and the rest of the week and this month to get through things).

[penthepoet]

A WIP mock-up of what I'm thinking for the city-state emblem of Lycoris, the Twilight Sanctuary, the city-state founded by Lis and her allies in Amaurot on the First, post-EW.

A sylleblossom for Lucis, a Lunar Tear for Angelus, a spider lily and spires for all those lost, loved and remembered.

Their motto, "to know and be known, to love and be loved" was coined by Lis herself.

Lycoris, the Twilight Sanctuary, is the homebase for the group that Lis founds in the wake of the Scion Schism/the attempt on her life — the Wine-Dark Tribunal, a blend of the coven-cult Azem treasured and the Convocation of Fourteen. The city also acts as a sanctuary for various refugees, travelers, merchants, courtesans, artists, and other dispossessed outcasts.

New Liscanon fic! Regarding a certain Sundered Ascian by the name of Emmerololth, and a certain Allagan death cult whose name has become lost to time...

Written for Sanquines XIVFuneral art party event last night, which I found to be extremely lovely and well-run!

I definitely think this fic is going to be revised, because I did want to get this fic out there before the art party ended and it shows. Still, I love a lot of the turns of phrase and lore dropped in here, and it gives a whole lot of context that echoes into the current era of Qlisaiah "Lis" Amaranth's journey!

Qlisaiah 'Lis' Amaranth (my Warrior of Light)

(art by @queseraphita)

Some context!

Much of her story surrounds her connections to Angelus/the Red Dragon from Drakengard 1 and Aera Mirus Fleuret + Lunafreya Nox Fleuret from Final Fantasy XV. These connections are known as Attunities, and basically act as past lives for her. She’s canonically fictionkin, in short.

Her Echo allows her to compel people to tell the truth so she uses it to get people to talk about their life stories and deepest secrets, compiling them in books known as Records.

her story is one of zealotry; faith to a bloodstained cause. about stories and how we compose our own stories, how memories fail and complete us, the way the past reaches forwards to haunt and comfort us. about the price of bloodshed - when it is justified and when it is not. Above all, it is of passion, of love under will. She wants to see the world, in all its bright and brutal glory.

Her partners are Emet-Selch, Ardyn Izunia and Gladiolus Amicitia! I've modified the story of FFXIV to more aptly explore the connections and divergencies that a fuller connection to XV would bring.

I post about her story a lot on my Twitter, but I think I'll start posting much of it here as well. I also will occasionally write fics for it in this collection!

I updated this with even more threads :3c
