Prompts

Details

During times of heavy fog, it is said that elnin can stumble upon a mysterious ruin in Kyendi. The ruin appearance can vary a bit, but it is always either an engraved pillar with miscellaneous swirling patterns and no legible runes/sigils, or a vague statue of a tailless elnin with their eyes shut in cheerful arching crescents. The pillar/statue is always made of stone or petrified wood and appears to be overgrown with plants. When touched, it leaves elnin with a ticklish feeling, as if some invisible mark has been left on them. At some point in time, most elnin leave, though those rumored to stay find the statue disappears with a blink after a while, and elnin either return to their usual lives or find themselves drawn on a greater journey. Depict your elnin encountering this ruin.

A still pool of water sits at the base of an overgrown shrine in Kyendi, nestled amongst the jungle vegetation. The shrine itself just looks like a tree stump with a very smooth rock on it. Small vines appear to wrap around both stump and rock to tie them together. Floating islands sometimes cast shadows overhead, and elnin who look into this pool claim to see something odd. Their appearance is reflected just as it always was, only they have two tails. When they turn to look behind themselves though, the tails are nowhere to be found. When accompanied to this shrine, it is said that no one aside from the elnin themselves can see the odd reflection. Depict your elnin encountering this phenomenon when looking at their reflection in the shrine pool.

There is a jungle clearing in Kyendi where three large boulders are equally distanced from one another to form a triangle. It is rumored that elnin that wander into this space end up lost for the better part of a day, only to wake up around dusk and hurry home. After this experience, a few elnin are left with a sensation that they’re forgetting something or have lost something for about a week. The sensation usually does not last longer than that though.

Depict your elnin investigating the large boulders and clearing. Do they pass the day immersed in curiosity or have a sinking feeling they’re lost? Are they drawing marks in the ground or attempting to make a map in the clearing? How does your elnin handle this confusing time?

At the top of a fairly high mountain in Kyendi, it is said the sky displays a full panorama of light cycles an elnin can encounter in a day, regardless of time. The horizon displays dawn, midday, dusk, and midnight with their boundaries blurring into one another. Unfortunately, the view is a once in a lifetime trip, and it’s said an elnin can only experience it once before a thick fog conceals the view. Some claim that they’re the tricks of feyfolk, while others say the light bends in irregular ways to produce this phenomena. A local legend tells a much simpler story of a tetra-tailed trickster that cast a peculiar spell on the mountain top that split the sky by the number of tails they had, and a fog would play tricks on the eyes of any returning visitors trying to repeat the experience. Regardless of what locals believe to be the cause, it is said that visiting this peak at least once can be quite eye-opening. 

Depict the view from the top of the mountain, the point where your elnin sees the four horizons. The view can either be presented as a full panorama, or sectioned into 4 panels as though your elnin has turned to look at each section on their own.

Notes

The shift in the sky should a horizontal transition (left to right or right to left) where the times of day appear very abnomal/mystical.

While journeying around Kyendi and having visited many unusual spots, elnin can start feeling like they have something a little extra on their rump. Looking back, they are surprised to find that instead of seeing the number of tails they normally have, they now have five whole tails connected to their rump. What’s more surprising though, is they’re the only one that can see this oddity. How do they react? Do they marvel at the extra tails, or is it more concerning that no one else can see them? For better or worse, they wake up the next day and they no longer have five tails and are back to the number of tails they normally had.

A familiar fog rolls in at the twilight hour of a full moon and the night is quiet. The atmosphere seems dreamlike, but a dampness sticks to their paws. Elnin who have seen a great deal of unusual ruins, shrines, and fog in recent travels can find a mysterious stone path in the late hour. The stone path and rolling fog seem to lead you through a less familiar part of Kyendi’s jungle. Through twisting vines and past more ruins, eventually these journeying elnin are led to a cave behind a waterfall. Moonlight pours down on a shrine of moss and luminous cave flowers. At the cave’s center is a smiling stone elnin statue that feels quite familiar, with its closed eyes and nine meadow tails curled in various directions around it. The statue is a bit mossy and overgrown itself, with a blossom sometimes atop its head according to the rumors.

Depict the elnin encountering the statue. Does it leave an impression on them? Does the smile on the statue appear friendly or ominous? By the next morning, elnin find that they are safe and sound in a local Kyendi village with the experience feeling much like a dream. One thing is sure, they can tell something has been gained from the experience. The memory of those nine curved tails etched into their thoughts.
