Description

You see Light of the World Gwenddolyn MacAlhaismorien-Odarien, Speaker of the Order of the White Rose, an Elf, who is surrounded by a corona of fiery light.

Gwenddolyn has elegant arched eyebrows, slightly pointed ears, a pair of heart-shaped spectacles accenting crystal green eyes and dimples accented by a pair of tiny blue gold beads. Her platinum-streaked strawberry hair is very long and wavy, and is worn in a simple, pulled-back style held in place by a profusion of Elven gold jambu flowers interspersed with vibrant glass beads. She has fair skin and a scattering of vivid scarlet fire-roses glowing like banked embers upon a lithe figure. She is tall for an Elf.

A dragon-blood ruby adorned with an intaglio pair of crossed forge hammers nestles at the top of her forehead, brightened by faint, darting sparkles deep within the gem.

A set of jade dragonflies with sapphire eyes float lazily around her left forearm, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her skin. She appears to be an adult.

Her forearm has a tattoo of elaborately entwined knotwork dragons that curve their heads inward to grasp onto the other's tail.

Horse

Gwenddolyn owns a fully trained war horse named "Crusader", which was purchased from a rare horse breeder, Ishtvan, during the Crusades.

The Zeharca horse is eighteen hands high with a mahogany and gold-colored, brindle-striped coat. It has a reddish-brown mane and tail. The gelding has a brilliant white, cross-shaped mark centered on the forehead.

The horse is wearing a silver-plated chanfron etched with the crest of Therengia and edged with scarlet roses, a finely tooled black leather saddle edged in scarlet roses with a jade green dragon head pommel, a black velvet caparison embroidered in scarlet and gold roses, some black spidersilk tail ribbons clasped with blood-red ruby roses, a saddle pad, and a black leather bridle exquisitely accented with iridescent green scales and crowned by a scarlet rose.

Cat

Inside a blanket-lined willow basket with an emerald-eyed electrum dragon clasp, is an emerald green-eyed fluffy chocolate brown kitten:
The brown kitten looks like: The silky rich chocolate coloring of this longhaired kitten is extra poofy and fluffy, and broken only by marshmallow white paws and a white-tipped fuzzy tail.
A blanket-lined willow basket with an emerald-eyed electrum dragon clasp look like: The loosely woven sides of this basket are padded with a marshmallow-white spidersilk blanket smeared with chocolate paw-prints and provide a strong but breathable carrier for whatever is inside. A small electrum dragon-shaped clasp with glittering emerald eyes carefully secures the basket.

Lizard

Gwenddolyn found her small sapphire-eyed lizard named "Izzy" inside an old chest in an abandoned Dragon Cavern while on an expedition with Terald, having held an interest as a shareholder in his treasure hunting expeditions. Terald told her the winged lizard was very old and dated back to an ancient Empire.

Pig

a curly-tailed red-bearded razorback:
The curly red beard, sprinkled with glittering sapphire dust, compliments the coiled red tail and narrow black stripe running down the spine of this enormous ginger-colored pig.
It is currently wearing a fleece-lined leather cap topped with a pair of thick-framed tinted goggles, a rainbow-striped collar with a delicate rose gold charm, and a hooded fur-lined sheepskin jacket affixed with razaksel-framed clockwork wings.

Monkey

a pure white catacomb monkey

Rats

a fluffy cave rat (Winner of the first Rat Wars!)

a red-eyed agouti rat

Bugs

a huge armor-plated onyx-black centipede

a dusky grey jumping spider with obsidian-black speckling

a round armored onyx-black dung beetle washed with a royal purple iridescence

Weapons

Claymore:

a silversteel-hilted claymore set with a flaming heart weeping a kertig tear:

Your claymore is shining with holy power.

Positioned in a place of honor at the center of the crossguard, crimson moonsilver forms a flaming heart that glows softly with a silvery-red light. A single tear of kertig drips onto the ricasso, suspended above the nielloed image of a hammer and anvil surrounded by bold letters spelling out the name, "Mendasity." Surmounting the weapon is a bearclaw emerald pommel.

Bastard Sword:

a kertig bastard sword with a spiked vardite dragon hilt:

Cleverly crafted with magenta jade accents, the animite-inlaid hilt is formed in the shape of a dragon at rest. The kertig beast's fearsome head and outspread claws form the crossguard, its monstrous eyes embedded with a pair of brilliant red Elamiri sapphires. Below the hilt, a pommel of vardite shaped into the form of a spiny reptilian tail curls protectively around a dragon's scale sapphire, its surface giving off a brilliant shine. You see the initials "C. M." impressed into the metal's surface.

HX:

a steel-plated ironwood crossbow with a sculpted dragon-head cranequin:

Flakes of pale brown ivory create faux scales along the ornamental cranequin. Though the working parts are somewhat pitted with age, the crossbow looks completely functional.

Estoc:

an icesteel estoc with a glacier emerald frozen within its crossguard:

Though edgeless, the long, pellucid blade tapers to a keen point, ideal for thrusting between rings of mail or joints of plate armor. Three rings gracefully spiral out from the center of the crossguard, protecting the leading hand and enhancing precision. At their center, a flawless glacier emerald glimmers with silver highlights, as fleeting as seafoam adrift on polar seas. There appears to be something written on it.

An icesteel estoc reads: "Scarnelur"

Fan:

a silversteel-bladed fan dangling a lotus charm:

A carved jade lotus is bound to the handle by a short chain. Each petal of the diminutive flower is tinted pale lilac at the edge and gradually fades to ivory at its heart. The blades are wider than usual for a fan, with a gleam of sharpened silversteel along the ends.

Greatsword:

a haralun greatsword with a jade dragon's head hilt bearing a shrike's eye sapphire:

The huge gem comprising the creature's threatening eye glints with every swing of this immense blade. A jade dragon's tail curves around the initials "C. M." impressed into the surface of the scaley metal.

Kaskara:

a polished kertig kaskara with knight-shaped langets:

Dark, silvery-black kertig creates the double-edged blade, rounding slightly to the needlelike tip. Ornate metalwork details armored knight langets on either side at the crossguard, while the braided grip extends to a sparkling amethyst intaglio of a rampant lion at its pommel.

Longsword:

a silversteel longsword with a black diamond pommel:

Filigree tracery of purple gold has been inlaid into the fuller of the shining blade. Gilt prongs hold the deep black faceted gem into the pommel of the gold wire-wound grip.

Nightsticks:

a smokewood nightstick studded with heavy vardite knobs:

Orange hemispheres of metal are centered within the knots of the wispy charcoal-grey woodgrain, the random pattern creating an effect like embers within a pillar of smoke.

a diamondwood nightstick banded with purple gold:

Wide bands of purple metal contrast with the pale wood of the weapon.

Nodachi:

a watered steel nodachi with lotusweave handle wrapping:

Above an elegantly carved jade tsuba, distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminescent of flowing water decorate the blade.

some glaes throwing stars

Zweihander:

a flame-bladed zweihander with a blade of firestained agonite:

Outlined in bright crimson, flame-like fingers of charcoal-grey form a labyrinthine pattern along the undulating black blade. Below the ricasso, sturdy flukes prevent the hand from sliding down the blade when using a shortened grip at close range. The elegant crossguard, with its swirls of steely grey, resembles tendrils of smoke that have condensed into metal. Set into the pommel is a molten-core diamond, which smolders with a dull red light. There appears to be something written on it.

A flame-bladed zweihander reads: "Cedafora"
