Description

You see Hodierna's Fist Kaelie Rudeone-Daemondred, Transcendent Empath of the Order of the Black Fox, an Elf.

A diffuse, honey-colored light undulates lazily across her skin, swirling and eddying with every movement.

She has an oval face with high cheekbones, pointed ears and elegant eyebrows echoing the sweep of ebon-hued lashes that frame her discerning copper-flecked celadon green eyes. Her golden-streaked molten strawberry-blonde hair is a riot of tumbling waves, and is worn loose. She has blush-hued pouting lips and sun-kissed skin accented by some glittery platinum stars and a coltish toned figure.

She has a tattoo of a delicate crescent moon cradling a wolf's pawprint on her neck.

Horse

Kaelies' mount, Caoimhe (pronounced KEE-vah), is sixteen hands high with a black coat spangled with tiny white spots that are concentrated over the back and hips. It has a black mane and tail. It is a gelding and has a white mark covering the left foreleg's fetlock. His coat is usually stained with the blood of his enemies. The spots on his skin are where pure evil is seeping out. He stops on a dime, usually at a full gallop, and agrees to a jump then balks.

Guardian Spirit

Name ~ Cathaoir (pronounced Ka-THAIR). The warrior is athletic with an air of grace and menace both, its face a mask of reticence with fierce sapphire hued eyes which reveal its true nature of protection and devotion. Its body gleams with an opalescent luster and wavers with sinuous muscle that tenses when danger draws near to the one it protects. Its hair is a waterfall of dark shimmering shadows that spills down its shoulders. On its chest, over the heart, is the mark of a wolf's paw print.

Quiet Moments

Before

It has been 440 years, 138 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.
It is the 4th month of Shorka the Cobra in the year of the Crystal Snow Hare.
It is currently spring and it is early morning.
You're positive it's 14 roisaen before the Anlas of Hodierna's Blessing.

She is standing on the quarterdeck of The Dance near Pilot Pendal. Feeling the large ship pitch in the Reshalian Sea, she steadies her footing by placing a slender hand onto his shoulder. Tendrils of her hair curling tight as the sea spray dampens them. There is an easy smile that is the tell tale sign she is far from population on the open waters and is not subject to the health needs of everyone around her.

Pendal glances over, "You know you should spend more time out here. It agrees with you."

She shoves him playfully away, "One day. But for now I need to finish the work I have been tasked with from my guild. I am so close to having learned all the required amount of Empathy that they demand. In several weeks time I will ask for my 200th advancement in the guild and I can only hope over the decades of dedication they will not find fault with my path or conduct." She closes her eyes, her jawline tenses. They are nearing Ratha, the familiar tickle of pain and worry from the residents reaching her even as they dock. "Stay close, please, I am only checking at the Guild here to make sure I owe no debts or have tasks undone."

You smile at Valkhan.
Valkhan exclaims, "Greetings all!"
Valkhan waves at all of you.
You respectfully say, "I want to thank you Valkhan for being here and express my regret for not inviting you to attend my final event as Speaker. I realize you probably were very busy, but I should have let you know that you were welcome to be there. That being said, for your peace of mind, please know that it was my decision solely to step down as the Speaker for this fine Order. Any rumors or tales that say otherwise are false. It is done with joy and a look forward to the future with no ill will or malice involved."
Valkhan smiles at you.
Valkhan says, "Kaelie, I don't know if you have that much malice in you at all."
Valkhan says, "Like ever."

I feel that in my time as Speaker I have made every effort, even when not acting in that official capacity, to maintain a demeanor that would never cause anyone to question the Council on my actions or words. I hope I have met the level of integrity that is expected of the position afforded me."
Mazrian gazes at you.
You positively say, "So let's move forward and allow a new Speaker and Vice Speaker to shine as the exemplary liaisons we all know they will be. I am proud of them both and have often turned to them to stay my course when I felt off. They have been steady on and it's my pleasure to help them Speak for our Order with conviction and pride."
Valkhan smiles.
You dutifully say, “Should they find that I am worthy and ask me to serve their Council I can only hope to take the lessons I have learned from each and every one of the Council members that have served through the years and apply that dedication and loyalty to my new role
