'''Cythra's favoritest (non-Eerie) thing:'''


''A sheet of parchment paper''
Turning Kermoria on its ear
(one ear at a time if necessary).


The paper is painted with: A beautiful Prydean looks out at you with wicked cat-slitted violet eyes, peering over lavender lensed spectacles. She has glittered silver fur and a black-streaked auburn mane. She wears an elegant black and auburn engagement ring on one hand. She is sitting in what you recognize as The Crossing Bards' Guild Performance Hall and appears to be reading from the book in her hands, which is titled "Eerie's Bed Time Stories." There is a mischievous glint in her eyes and you sense that she is laughing silently. In front of her sits a teenaged girl with a halo of russet curls. Her eyes are alight with wonder as she sits completely wrapped up in the story. Beside her sits a graceful elven lady with an oval face framed by streaked black hair. Her warm eyes are twinkling as she listens and strums the e'erdream lap harp that she holds. Across the bottom of the page, in fine gold calligraphy, are the words: The moment I fell in love with being a Bard ~ Love, Yisindre

Delicate looking strands of blackened platinum and auburn-hued rose gold entwine in a dance of graceful arabesques around one another forming a dainty wreath designed to embrace the wearer s finger.

These strands are woven together with a pitch-black thread, resulting in a shimmery, somewhat starry effect. The rich purple gemstone inset into the shining platinum of the Triquetra hides a golden lightning-shaped inclusion. Tapered on each end, the length of fabric is clearly meant to be wrapped about the head and face.

The gem is a steely blue-grey, reminiscent of brilliant bolts of lightning.

Turning Kermoria on its ear
A dagged chainmail belt displaying a lightning amethyst
(one ear at a time if necessary).


The gleaming platinum belt, crafted to gracefully drape across the wearer's hips, features triangular dags edged in a multitude of tiny bells which sway with every movement. The dags are forged with a pattern of alternating chevrons of shining black and glistening deep purple metal links. Prominently featured upon the clasp, the depths of a rich purple lightning amethyst hide a golden lightning-shaped inclusion.


'''Cythra's first public performance was probably in the year 358 where she won a contest for dance(?!).'''


Prize (on loan to Eerie): an enameled cloak clasp shaped like the masks of tragedy and comedy.


The clasp has been ingeniously crafted to resemble a mask of comedy or tragedy depending upon the light. When illuminated, the white mask of comedy is displayed, with its jubilant smile. Shadows casting across the clasp appear to change its visage to the mask of tragedy with a single tear trailing down the cheek.
A starlight velvet gypsy skirt


There appears to be something written on it.
Crafted to sway with any motion, the luxurious cloth of this full skirt consists of silk threads with diamond chips worked into them. When the light hits the fabric, the gem's reflection creates the illusion of glittering stars on a moonlit night across the surface. Cut to accentuate the hips, the contoured waistband is laced at the sides. Centered on the waistband is a black opal which is mounted in an elegant setting of platinum. The glittering jewel flashes with brilliant flecks of red and purple.

The damascened platinum gives the impression of liquid metal beneath the gleaming surface of the band which has channels of gold flowing around its edges. Deeply etched into the surface is the image of an intricate fiery phoenix in flight clutching a stylized eighth note. Inset into the eye sockets are a pair of perfectly matched faceted amethysts.

The cuffs of the supple, calf length boots are turned down revealing the luxurious suede interior. Along the edge of the cuff and encircling the ankle are straps of matching leather, each of which is fastened with a buckle crafted of fine damascened platinum.

Description

Cythra has wicked cat-slitted violet eyes. Her black-streaked auburn mane is very long and wavy, and is worn loose. She has glittered silver fur accented by some glittery platinum stars, a straight tail and a gracefully slender figure. She is tall for a Prydaen.

She has a swirling diagonal pattern of tiny silvery painted stars running from her forehead to cheekbone.

Her cheekbone has a tattoo of interlocking red, blue and black spirals forming a triskele pattern.

Lhark's Song

This song was written by Lhark in Tribute to Kaelie.
I felt it was important that it be memorialized somewhere.


God saw you were getting tired
A cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,"Come with me."


With tearful eyes we watched you
As you slowly passed away
And though we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay


A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands were laid to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best!
