[🔷 This is an Advanced Act]

Does your elnin have a particular phobia? Are they perhaps afraid of deep water, creepy crawlies, or soaring heights? Something else horrible? Depict your elnin deliberately facing down a fear of theirs. The world is full of perils that everyone has to overcome, and your elnin can't let their own fears hold them back. How else will they rise to greatness!

(Daevas [previously shylldra] should be avoided here. The visual guide for Eyre's "big bads" should be coming down the pipeline shortly, but we're hoping to steer away from things that are excessively life-threatening/immediately lethal in this Act!)

You find a map on the wall of some local tavern pointing to the famously perilous stormlands of northern Ahza and a big help wanted stamp on an open request for deliveries of storm glass. You've heard of storm glass. Once in awhile a lightning strike will ignite a dense pocket of mana and instantly crystallize it into a very rare form of anima. You can't find this material anywhere else on Eyre, the lightning is special there somehow. Or was it the storm clouds? Something like that, you're not quite sure. In any case. Show your elnin helping this mystery person by retrieving some of these rare shards from the stormlands. Caution, lightning does strike twice in these areas!

The stormlands are in a constant state of precipitation. Whether it's a soft shower or a full-blown storm, it must always be somewhat rainy and cloudy. Storm glass comes in various shades of violet, or can also be partially encased in a crumbly/brittle mineral that looks somewhat like sand or bone.

[🔷 This is an Advanced Act]

Occasionally when an elnin achieves a certain level of spiritual awareness [sometimes intentionally, sometimes by accident] they can experience a special type of vision, a visitation from an otherworldly or fantastical version of themselves. Some say these phantasms are reflections of their soul in some alternate world, made visible by opening the mind's eye to other realities. Others say they're a representation of one facet of an elnin's inner self, a projection from the subconscious. In any case, these visions only occur when an elnin is in a state of heightened spiritual awareness, generally whilst in a secluded or otherwise peaceful place [so probably not in the middle of a busy street]. Depict your elnin having one such vision. What does this other self look like and how do they react to it?

Let your imagination run free on this one! Guidelines on what your peculiar self should look like are fairly open as long as they're fantastical in nature [just please keep things PG, no gore/nudity/franchise characters]. If your elnin is experiencing the vision as they are attuning to nature, you could theme it appropriately: a mer-form for an ocean voyage or a graceful dryad if they're meditating in the deep woods. You could also theme it on faerie lore, or perhaps this alternate form is monstrous? Just remember that this isn't true shapeshifting, these are personal visions, and the phantasms should not interact with the environment or be visible to other creatures.

IMPORTANT! If you choose to use another CS/adopt for this act, it cannot be used to fulfil the noble mini-requirement of having your elnin interact with a human or elseworld creature, as this act treats them as a vision and not another creature separately.

This act also makes for a nice followup to the "Pilgrimage" act I think!

Notes

• The vision /otherworldly visitor should be fantastical creatures or plants minimally (not humans/generic options like average earthy plants and animals).
• If the vision is an existing CS, then you'll need permission from the CS creator to allow them in World of Eyre. Proof of permission to use the species in World of Eyre or a screenshot of the species' TOS stating the species' character can be used in outside settings should be provided upon submitting your piece to the website. If the character is a species that you have personally created you may include them in your submission, but the group will need written permission for other individuals to use your CS in World of Eyre submissions. (For a short list of species that have granted permission to multiple users see the "General Prompt Guidelines" FAQ section.) In an effort to be respectful and to keep elnins from potentially disrupting other groups, please do not submit your "Berry Bazaar" ARPG art to other CS galleries. This is especially true for CS such as Esk, which have a very insular universe and we don't want to step on any toes. Basically treat this is an alternate universe experience for any outside CS that you bring to Eyre just to be safe.
• One-off designs that are not a part of an Open Species/Semi-Open Species/Closed Species may be used within the World of Eyre setting. While we will not be requesting proof for these characters to be used in prompts, we encourage users to check the TOS of the artist who created the one-off design to make sure the artist’s TOS will not be broken if used in the World of Eyre setting.
• If you choose to use another CS/adopt for this act, it cannot be used to fulfil the noble mini-requirement of having your elnin interact with a human or elseworld creature, as this act treats them as a vision and not another creature separately.
• Please do not reference any franchise characters, cosplays, and so forth (no Pokémon, Final Fantasy, etc)!

[🔷 This is an Advanced Act]

Royal elnins are developing the ability to help other elnins balance and focus their natural mana. Presently, Laurent [ELN021] has made himself available for this and does not request payment for his time. The Stygian King performs mana harmonization through destruction - namely of pots, candles, lamps, and so on. It's currently theorized that the pacification of Laurent's pomu-curse through violence also has a curious harmonizing effect on nearby elnins. Who'd have guessed? Depict your elnin with Laurent [cursed pomu/sword is optional], out in the world somewhere terrorizing the fine china or other invitingly destructible objects. Do items and coins really pop out or is that just a myth?

Royal elnins are developing the ability to help other elnins balance and focus their natural mana. Presently, Sunleth [ELN001] has made herself available for this and does not request payment for her time. The Sylvan Queen does her miraculous mana harmonization by snuggles and naps. No, I'm not kidding, that's how she does it. Having another elnin just being near her while asleep and perfectly at peace is enough for Sunleth's aura to harmonize with theirs and help it along the path to clarity. Depict your elnin with Sunleth, all comfy, and having a snooze. That's it!

Journey to a sacred site. Depict your elnin traveling to a remote location, someplace far from the hustle and bustle of civilization. A place where wild magic is thick in the air, where your elnin can feel their connection to the universe. These locations could take the form of ancient spirit shrines or other ruins hidden in the deep forest. It could be a place with high elemental influences such as a secluded mountain waterfall or a lonely oasis.

This is a background heavy quest, where the goal is to have your elnin travel to a remote location and find a place to center themselves and meditate. The point is to find a place that feels significant to your elnin and show them getting lost in meditation as they harmonize with their environment.
