archfae & nymph part 1 of my series of fae, inspired by indonesian folklore/culture. i myself have roots in java, so this is mostly javanese-based. archfae with inspiration from nyi roro kidul, ruler of the southern sea. perfect for an archfae that has a vast domain over the sea (and a trademark on the color!) on the right is a nymph, inspired by wayang wong, javanese court dance! masks for fae and the lore behind is loosely based on the worldbuilding of @filibusterfrog

i like the thought that the most powerful fae are physically very weak... gives the archfae a cane :> commissions are open!

The Tain is an EP by The Decemberists released in 2004 by Acuarela Discos and in 2005 by Kill Rock Stars. The single 18-plus minute track, in five parts, is named after the Irish mythological epic Táin Bó Cúailnge, often simply called The Táin.

The Táin or less commonly as The Cattle Raid of Cooley, is an epic from Irish mythology. It is often called "the Irish Iliad", although like most other early Irish literature, the Táin is written in prosimetrum, i.e. prose with periodic additions of verse composed by the characters. The Táin tells of a war against Ulster by Queen Medb of Connacht and her husband King Ailill, who intend to steal the stud bull Donn Cuailnge.

Lyrics:

[part 1]

[Crone]

Here upon this pillow

Made of reed and willow

You're a fickle little twister

Are you sweet on your sister?

Your fallow won't leave you alone

And granted for their pleasure

Possessions laid to measure

She's a salty little pisser

With your cock in her kisser

But now she's a will of her own

[PART II]

[Husband]

Damn your ankles and eyes wide

From you fingernails to your ponytails too

King of the insects and the m-5

Over Charlemagne in a motorcade too

And baby needs a new prize

Baby needs a new and shiny prize

[Captain]

In this place called heavenly

You were born here

This place called heavenly

You were born here

You were born here

[Husband]

And now all the marchers descend from high

I will dedicate all of my awakenings to this

And damn all the angles that oppress my sight

I will bleed your heart through a samovar soon

Baby needs a new prize

Baby needs a new and shiny prize

[Captain]

In this place called heavenly

You were born here

This place called heavenly

You were born here

You were born here

You were born here

[PART III]

[Soldier]

They settled dust in your hair

To watch you shake and shout it out

With our armaments bared

We shed our bags and travel-alls

From the lee of the wall

He comes in the chang and chariot

And all his eunuchs in thrall

Can scarce lift his line and lariat

Here come loose the hounds

To blow me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Blow me down

[Soldier]

On this stretch of ground

I'll lay me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Lay me down

[Soldier]

To sleep

[Chaplain]

And now stricken with pangs

That tear at our backs like thistle down

The mirror's soft silver tain

Reflects our last and birthing hour

[Soldier]

Here come loose the hounds

To blow me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Blow me down

[Soldier]

On this stretch of ground

I'll lay me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Lay me down

[Soldier]

Here come loose the hounds

To blow me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Blow me down

[Soldier]

On this stretch of ground

I'll lay me down

[Chorus Of Waifs]

Lay me down

[Soldier]

To sleep

[PART IV]

[Widow]

O the wind is blowing, it hurts your skin

As you climb up hillside, forest and fen

Your arms full of lullabies, orchids and wine

Your memories wrapped within paper and twine

The room that you lie in is dusty and hard

Sleeping soft babies on piles of yards

Of gingham, taffeta, cotton and silk

Your dry hungry mouths cry for your mother's milk

When the dawn comes to greet you, you'll rise with clothes on

And advance with the others, singing old songs

Of cattle and maidens and withered old queens

Let the music carry you on

The room that you lie in is dusty and hard

Sleeping soft babies on piles of yards

Of gingham, taffeta, cotton and silk

Your dry hungry mouths cry for your mother's milk

[PART V]

[Woman]

Darling dear what have you done?

Your clothes are torn, your make-up runs

[Daughter]

I ran through brambles, blooming thistle

I washed my face in the river when you whistled me on

[Woman]

Darling dear, what have you done?

Your hands and face are smeared with blood

[Daughter]

The chaplain came and called me out

To beat and to butcher his mother's sow

[Woman]

But darling dear, they found him dead

This morning on the riverbed

But hush now darling, don't you cry

Your reward's in the sweet by-and-by

Hush now baby, don't you cry

Your reward's in the sweet by-and-by

[Crone]

And now we've seen your powers

Softly stretch the hours

You're a fickle little twister

Are you sweet on your sister?

As now you go wandering home

TS3 - Jam Dinding Wayang & Gunungan

F U N C T I O N A L W A L L C L O C K

This wall clock has 8 Wayang & Gunungan presets. Non-recolourable.

Wayang is a traditional form of puppet theatre play originating from the Indonesian island of Java. Wayang refers to the entire dramatic show. Sometimes the leather puppet itself is referred to as wayang. Performances of wayang puppet theatre are accompanied by a gamelan orchestra in Java, and by gender wayang in Bali. The dramatic stories depict mythologies, such as episodes from the Hindu epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as local adaptations of cultural legends.

Gunungan is a conical or triangular structure (tapered peak) inspired by the shape of a mountain (volcano), is a figure in the Indonesian theatrical performance of wayang. Gunungan is used as a sign of changing plays/story stages. Gunungan can act as land, forest, roads and others by following the dialogue of the dhalang (puppeteer in an Indonesian wayang performance.)

Holy Beast (Shifter Archetype)

(art by LuMosido on DeviantArt)

Most deities in the Pathfinder game have a sacred animal of some kind, a beast favored by their deity. Whether that animal is truly blessed by the divinity in question or merely the god’s favorite for whatever reason, it’s clear that despite how different they are to mortals, even most gods think that animals are pretty neat.

While the list of possible animals far outstrips the frankly limited pool of animal aspects for the shifter class, there are nevertheless those shifters that devote themselves to a deity, and in doing so are rewarded with a measure of divine power. They might be servants of the faith or lay worshippers with strong convictions, but either way they find their bestial might empowered and changed by their deity, for good or ill.

With this power, they become predators that hunt the servants of their deity’s enemies. Some are divine beings preying upon rakshasa and invading fiends, while a devotee of a dark god would hunt mortals and goodly servants alike as a fell beast.

This archetype is especially common in Vudra, a land with hundreds upon hundreds of minor divinities that often have much more intimate contact with mortal-kind than the distant powers that most other cultures in the setting are used to, but anyone of any culture or faith might take on the role of holy beast, able to shift into an animal champion of their deity.

The claws of these shifters are always built for piercing, but their true strength lies in the divine blessing they are charged with, allowing them to pierce the hides of outsiders of their opposed alignment with the same ease as those vulnerable to cold iron, silver, or magic.

They also gain an instinctive understanding of how to tear apart and befuddle their favored foes as a ranger might, picking exclusively among broad outsider categories that their deity considers enemies.

While this is a simple archetype, it’s nice and thematic and provides a good way to play a shifter that specializes in fighting outsiders for whatever reason. Beyond that, feel free to build them however you see fit.

To be a holy beast is to be chosen by the divine, but the exact relationship between mortal and deity may vary. Indeed, for those unprepared it may seem as much like a curse as it is a blessing, albeit one that aligns with the morality of the recipient. On the other hand, for some it may be a euphoric experience, being transformed and changed by their deity’s will.

They say that the Iron One’s army counts werewolves and other lycanthropes among their number, this is only partially true. In truth, the majority of these fierce warriors-turned-beasts are in fact shifters, holy beasts devoted to the army’s patron god of war, with claws that pierce like a needle and a fury that strikes down those they consider weak.

Left alone when the doors to the Shadow closed, the wayangs of Powan called out for succor from the light, and something answered, gifting their fiercest warriors with the fury and forms of beasts, the only cost being they must fight against horrors that hide in bright light.

The Master of the Endless Cycle is represented in their faith by a serpent, though in truth this is an ouroboros. Of course, such cosmic creatures are beyond most worshippers, but some worshipping this deity of life, death, and reincarnation are able to take on serpentine aspects and forms, and become guardians against those that would disrupt the cycle.
