[Day 26] Favorite mount and mount skin

So. If you know me, you know I can't pick just one, so I decided to choose my favorite that I've unlocked out of each mount. Granted a few of these are Gemstore purchases, however they're still some of my favorites. So in order, left to right, we have: Bioluminescent Raptor, Timberland Budged, Lithosol (honestly, I love all of these rock floaty babies but tried not to pick more than one), Kintsugi Jackal, Deep Desert Scarab, Tundra Grimalkin, Nightfang + Crested Southernland (this is the one where I couldn't choose between the two), and Dark Monarch.

I also tried not to choose multiples of the same "type" of skin, so like with the Bioluminescent I adore those on all of the mounts, same like I said with the floaty disjointed rock ones and the Starlight ones. The ones that have that radioactive glow—the name escapes me atm—is also a really good one! Honorable mention is the Shrine Jackal and the lion griffon.

was lucky and got the lithosol raptor on the first try

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

Windshear - Northern Featherwing Griffon

Thunderclap - Fulgurite Ridgeback Jackal

Blitz - Lepidote Brute Skyscale

Presenting: 3 of Ruju's menagerie of mounts, all gradually gathered and tamed over the course of his journey as the Commander. each is just as stubborn as he is-- for better and DEFINITELY for worse.

Windshear

- an early encounter; Ruju met her in Lornar's Pass on a diplomacy mission for the Vigil, and was consequently carried off by the bird

- fortunately it turned out she was more interested in having a playmate to fly with than actually harming him

- the most dramatic of creatures. she takes him on the wildest and steepest possible routes entirely on purpose

- also the most likely to let you pet her. she loves being scritched right behind the ears and will lean her FULL weight into it

- (Ruju has been flattened by this on multiple occasions)

Thunderclap

- the djinn of the Desolation were tracking this runaway jackal when Ruju came into the area, so he decided to help them out

- turned out the jackal had a prideful nature; he expected any tamer to match his ferocity and prove their worth

- Ruju ultimately accomplished this by facing the jackal 1v1 with his air element, wrestling among the toxic sands

- his violet air element blended with the djinn's taming magic, producing his unique coloration and electrical current

- unlike Windshear he does NOT like being petted. however... he does enjoy a good game of tug-o-war, but will NOT hold back

Blitz

- Gorrik initially joked that the hatchling was so fiercely rebellious because Ruju was the one to retrieve his egg

- this stopped being funny after getting bitten like 15 times

- absolutely VORACIOUS eater when it comes to magic... but also notoriously picky. tends towards crystallized energy

- particular favorite is bloodstone, which caused his eventual bright red coloration. his scales glitter with crimson gems

- somewhat vain. he's very proud of his spiky crimson look and tends to preen and show off when other skyscales are around

- they all just think he's weird though (because he is)

So I use the Lithosol raptor skin for my Commander, cause elementalist, and I finally have a headcanon why.

Wiggles (the raptor) was there with Hau when Balthazar attacked. She was killed defending her owner, keen to bring down the God with her own claws.

Hau was certain they had lost their beloved mount forever when they regained their memories in the Land of the Lost. But a certain raptor soul was still very attached to them.

The next details are still a bit fuzzy (and I'm having problems with words today) but the long story short is a necromancer tells Hau that there's a spirit clinging to them. Upon realizing who it is, Hau uses their magic to summon an earth construct for Wiggles to possess. Reuniting them again.

This also lets me account for the ability to summon mounts at will. As long as Hau is carrying a piece of the rock Wiggles was made from, they can summon her to them.

And yes, Hau still makes sure to give her lots of scritches. It just requires rock claws so she can feel it.

more things about Alun

the lithosol raptor skin is what his canon raptor looks like. I’m thinking he actually created his raptor. also thinking some of his other canon mounts are the sand souled skimmer and griffon skins and the sun stalker jackal skin

Autour de la montagne les sols diffèrent. Trois d'entre eux ont été représentés. Par leur composition et les strates qui les composent ils expriment la diversité d'un même site naturel.

Lithosol

Type : Sols minéraux

Sol constitué uniquement d'une roche mère dure, fragmentée, et plus ou moins mobile. Les lithosols sont très peu différenciés, très peu épais car limités à moins de 10 cm de la surface du sol par une roche cohérente et dure, ici calcaire.

Sodisalisol

Type : Sols des vallons, vallées et milieux côtiers

Les sols salins (salisols) et les sols sodiques (sodisols) se développent en présence de sel. Ce sel peut parfois être plus important dans des conditions particulières favorisant l’évaporation de l’eau telles que dans certains estuaires, lacs et lagunes, ou bien sous des climats secs et arides.

Colluviosol

Type : Sols des vallons, vallées et milieux côtiers

Sols issus de colluvions, matériaux arrachés au sol en haut d’un versant puis transportés par le ruissellement de l’eau ou par éboulement pour être déposés plus en aval, en bas de pente. Il s’agit donc de dépôts comportant le plus souvent des éléments grossiers : graviers, cailloux, pierres, charbons de bois, débris végétaux ou autres. L’épaisseur des colluviosols est supérieure à 50 cm. Les colluviosols sont donc le plus souvent observés dans les fonds de vallons, au pied de talus ou encore à la faveur des replats en milieu de pente.

These last are discovered just in separated saline pockets throughout the island.

Environment

Cyprus has an extreme Mediterranean environment, with a normally highly significant seasonal rhythm. The most affordable ordinary rainfall of 14 inches (350 mm) takes place at Nicosia, as well as the greatest, 41 inches (1,050 mm), is on Mount Olympus.

Orange haciendas populate the island's northwestern end in the location around Morphou.

The only big wild pet currently enduring is the agrino, a subspecies of wild lamb relevant to the mouflon of the western Mediterranean; it is under stringent defence in a little forested location of the Troodos array. Serpents were extensive in old times, offering the island the name Ophiussa, "the Home of Snakes"; they are currently fairly uncommon.

Cyprus rests on significant movement courses for birds. In springtime as well as fall millions overlook the island, while several varieties of winter months there. Amongst the countless resident varieties are francolin as well as chukar partridges.

Ethnic groups and also languages

The Greek Cypriots, that makeup almost four-fifths of the populace, came down from a blend of indigenous residents and also immigrants from the Peloponnese that conquered Cyprus beginning concerning 1200 BC and also absorbed succeeding inhabitants up to the 16th century. Approximately one-fifth of the populace are Turkish Cypriots, offspring of the soldiers of the Footrest military that overcame the island in 1571 as well as of immigrants from Anatolia brought in by the sultan's federal government.

The language of the bulk is Greek as well as of the minority, Turkish. These teams each total amount just a couple of thousand audio speakers, and also they are mainly multilingual, with either Greek or Turkish their 2nd language.

Religious beliefs

The Greek Cypriots are mainly Eastern Orthodox Christians. The Turkish Cypriots are Sunni Muslims.

Negotiation patterns

Adhering to the Turkish profession in 1974 of the north section of the island, this pattern altered, the outcome of the requirement to transplant some 180,000 Greek Cypriot evacuees that had actually run away from the Turkish-controlled location to the southerly component of the island. In comparison, the north part of the island is currently much more sparsely inhabited regardless of the increase of Turkish Cypriots from the south and also the intro of Turkish inhabitants from the landmass.

The 6 communities taped in the 1973 demographics, under the wholehearted republic, were the head office of the island's 6 management areas. Of these Kyrenia (Turkish: Girne), Famagusta (Greek: Ammókhostos; Turkish: Mağusa), as well as the north fifty per cent of Nicosia are to the north of the demarcation line reeled in 1974 and also remain in Turkish Cypriot hands; that part of Nicosia is the management centre of the Turkish Cypriot field. Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, as well as the southerly part of Nicosia,  continued to be in Greek Cypriot hands after 1974; that part of Nicosia is the small funding of the whole Republic of Cyprus as well as the management centre of the Greek Cypriot industry.

Market patterns

At times Cypriots have actually emigrated in big numbers, as well as it is approximated that as several real-time abroad as on the island itself. Waves of hefty emigration adhered to the arrangement of self-reliance in 1960 as well as the Turkish profession of North Cyprus in 1974. After 1974 the rise in numbers of Greek Cypriots leaving the island in search of a job, particularly in the Center East, added to a decrease in the populace, yet this tapered off in the 1990s.

Economic climate

In between 1960 as well as 1973 the Republic of Cyprus, running a free-enterprise economic situation based on farming as well as profession, attained a criterion of living greater than many of its neighbours, with the exemption of Israel. Specific international nations likewise made some help readily available to Cyprus. These companies, as well as nations, have given specialists to encourage financial preparation as well as launch effective jobs; scholarships as well as gives given for the training of Cypriot experts in these locations.

Results of dividing

Greek Cypriot losses of land and also individual building in the busy locations were significant, and also they likewise shed Famagusta, the only deepwater port, and also the Nicosia International Flight Terminal.

The Turkish-occupied location has actually not experienced the very same success, nevertheless, and also the Turkish federal government has actually had to fund its economic situation. The southerly area proceeds to provide the north area with electrical power, as well as the north area still refines the sewer of Greek Nicosia.

Farming, forestry, as well as angling

Even more than one-third of the island's cultivatable land is irrigated, primarily in the Mesaoria Level and also around Paphos in the southwest. A program of land loan consolidation was passed in 1969; it fulfilled with resistance, specifically from Turkish Cypriot landowners, as well as was just really gradually carried out, yet it has actually continued with significant success in the Greek Cypriot industry.

The significant plants of the Greek Cypriot market consist of grapes, deciduous fruits, potatoes, grain grains, veggies, carbs, as well as olives.

Animals-- particularly lamb, goats, pigs, as well as fowl-- and also animals items make up regarding one-third of the island's complete farming manufacturing. Some livestock is likewise elevated.

Cyprus was when renowned for its substantial woodlands, yet the need for hardwood for shipbuilding by succeeding conquerors from the 7th century BC forward as well as substantial feeling for structure as well as for gas have actually gotten rid of a lot of them. Under the British management an energetic plan of preservation, as well as reforestation, was gone after, as well as the Cyprus Forestry University was developed at Prodhromos, on the western inclines of Mount Olympus; the Greek Cypriot federal government remains to run an enthusiastic program of woodland conservation and also advancement. Woodlands are discovered mainly in the hilly locations and also in the Paphos area.

The angling sector is tiny, partially due to the fact that seaside waters lack the nutrients as well as linked plankton required to maintain big fish populaces. The market has actually revealed some development in the Greek Cypriot industry, a lot of fish is imported.

Resources as well as power

Cyprus was for several centuries a kept in mind manufacturer of copper; in Greek the name of the island, as well as the name of the steel, are similar.

As expedition for gas in the eastern Mediterranean removed in the 21st century, big down payments of gas were first found off Cyprus in 2011. The books continued to be mostly untapped over the following a number of years, nonetheless, because of recurring disagreements in between the Greek Cypriot as well as Turkish Cypriot federal governments.

 Production

Industries in the Republic of Cyprus were ultimately reoriented towards export manufacturing, and also numerous manufacturing facilities were constructed in the south. Printing as well as posting likewise add to the Greek Cypriot economic situation.

Financing as well as profession

The Central Financial institution of Cyprus concerns the Cyprus extra pound, while Turkish lira has flowed in the Turkish-occupied location. The Republic of Cyprus started to broaden monetary solutions, consisting of overseas financial, in 1982. Persistent profession deficiencies are countered by invoices from vacationers, compensations sent out the house by expatriate Greek Cypriots, as well as invoices from the British army bases on the island.

Solutions

After the dividing the visitor profession recouped quickly in the Greek Cypriot market: to respond to the loss of Kyrenia and also the Famagusta-Varosha location, which had actually been the leading seaside hotels, the southerly seaside communities of Limassol, Larnaca, and also Paphos was additionally created to fit travellers. Given that the mid-1980s, tourist has actually been the biggest resource of international earnings for the Greek Cypriot market.

Work and also tax

The Kyrenia Hills-- the western section of which is additionally recognized as the Pentadaktylos for its five-fingered height-- expand for 100 miles (160 kilometres) parallel to as well as simply inland from the north shore.

The Troodos Hills in the south and also southwest are of the fantastic rate of interest to rock hounds, that have actually ended that the variety, composed of igneous rock, was developed from liquified rock underneath the deep sea (Tethys) that when divided the continents of Eurasia as well as Afro-Arabia. The variety extends eastward regarding 50 miles (80 kilometres) from near the island's west coastline to the 2,260-foot (689-metre) Stavrovouni height, concerning 12 miles (19 kilometres) from the southeastern shore. The array's top, Mount Olympus (additionally called Mount Troodos), gets to an altitude of 6,401 feet (1,951 metres) as well as is the island's acme.
