Description
You see Sun Lounger Allye Karayilma, Balm of Tenemlor, a Prydaen. A little ephemeron of a coralite-armored guardian cuttlefish is sitting on her shoulder. Allye has a set of mischievously twitching whiskers accenting a square face, pointed ears and bright cat-slitted turquoise eyes. Her raven mane is hip-length and glossy with long layers, and is worn in a tousled mass of locks that tumbles over her shoulders. She has tawny fur with sepia stripes, a black-tipped tail and a cluster of pale pink forget-me-nots arranged in threes to highlight a limberly agile figure. She is petite for a Prydaen. A delightful kindle of winged kittens sculpted from glossy loveglass float lazily around her right wrist, glowing with a lustrous sheen against her fur. She appears to be a sun-lounger. Her shoulder has a tattoo of a blooming peony tinted in softly blended shades of lavender and rose, the showy blossom framed in a swirl of jade-green foliage. She is in good shape. She is wearing an elegant lace and pearl shoulder necklace, a giant party sack bedazzled with countless glitterstars and shadowstars, a strapless ivory gown of gently cascading cotton and lace, a strand of fine Elven gold wire wrapped around a faded pink coral forget-me-not and tied into a bow and a pair of soft slippers swathed in lace.
Story
The wet planks below his feet lurched dangerously, causing barrels and passengers alike to careen from one end of the ship to the other. Chill drops of rain beat down upon them, piercing the sheer cloaks of the huddled refugees as they clung to the railings and masts of the vessel. Through the dark mist, his experienced eyes noticed a shadow, heavy upon the roiling sea off the starboard side. Scaling the mast with a practiced swoop, a closer look left his features tightened in frustration. Heaving alongside the ship was a dilapidated schooner, its peeling red paint visible even through the coarse, icy rain.
With a hoarse shout to the captain, he pointed a claw towards the approaching schooner. A series of low whistles signaled the violent cascade of grappling hooks, tangling in the rigging and rails of the cog. With screams and a general murmur of shock, the passengers along the starboard side shuffled backwards, some losing their balance and sliding overboard into the violently churning sea. He ran to the railing and over the edge saw a rowboat of men, already climbing the sturdy lines tied to the lodged grappling hooks. Stepping back to draw out a heavy curved blade, he brought it down upon the railing, severing a number of ropes and sending two of the men into the treacherous waters.
He settled himself into a ready stance as the remaining men swung over the aft railing and drew their weapons. Around him, the captain shouted frantic orders to the beleaguered crew, wielding his own steel scimitar. A number of passengers too rose to fight, stumbling on the unsteady deck.
Rushing into the crowd, the pirates slaughtered indiscriminately. He charged forward upon limber legs, sinking his blade deep into the abdomen of one of the men, as more climbed over the railing. Beside him, a tall Prydaen man slashed his claws roughly across a man's chest, ripping through cloth, skin and sinew.
Nearby, a broad-chested pirate smirked while lunging a heavy spiked mace into a cornered group of refugees, crushing the ribs of one and sweeping others overboard. Tracing an intricate sigil in the air with a steady scaled hand, he focused intently upon the pirate. A single bolt of jagged lightning streaked towards the man, at once incinerating his head as he tumbled over the railing and into the sea.
One by one, bodies fell to the slick planks below, the blood of pirate, crew and passenger spilling onto the deck like the wrathful rain. Finally, the few remaining pirates dashed back over the railing, sliding down the slippery ropes into their rowboat, their prize no longer worth the cost. As the schooner pulled up its anchor and edged away from the battered cog, he grimly surveyed the devastation it had wrought.
He toiled with the thinned crew, tending to the injured and searching for survivors among the piles of bloody, lifeless bodies. As they worked, the storm began to clear, leaving in its wake a dull, misty drizzle. Huddled in a corner, he found the body of a Prydaen woman, hunched over and face down. A deep gash struck across her back stained her airy blue mra'sin with a splash of crimson, its severity eliminating the need to see if she breathed.
Walking away, he heard a soft whimper behind him. Turning back to the woman, he wondered incredulously how anyone could survive such a wound. Reaching her side, he knelt and gently held her shoulders, turning her limp body to face him. A deep nick in the woman's ear was the source of a trail of bloody, matted fur along the side of her face. Her piercing turquoise eyes stared out mutely, glassy and unmoving. She was not alive.
As he began to return her to her resting place, one of the dead woman's arms fell to her side. Cradled in her other arm was a small child, not two years old. Bearing the same vibrant turquoise eyes of her mother, the child squirmed uncomfortably and covered her face with small hands. He reached hesitantly towards the girl, lifting her into his arms.

Allye's Residences
| Home | Description |
|---|---|
| Crossing: Starfall Hall | [Willow Walk, Willow Tree]
The massive weeping willow tree for which the garden is named spreads its trailing branches toward the ground, veiling the area and swaying with every breath of passing breeze to both reveal and conceal. Occasionally, the leaves part enough to allow a glimpse to the south of the Sorrow Garden in which the Empath Guild Leader stands, and the tall wrought-iron fence running between there and here. You also see a dark cedar frame house, a pine-trimmed home, a white oak-shingled cottage with a weeping willow tree in the front yard, an ivy-covered hall with a crumbling brick chimney visible over the roof and a cozy blue stucco abode. |
| Riverhaven: Magnolia Manor | [Magnolia Corner, Blossom Circle]
One particularly large tree rests in the middle of the path, forcing the pavers to split the line of cobble in two to accommodate the trunk's breadth. Laden with pristine white blossoms, the magnolia's branches extend far over the rooftops of several nearby houses. Local birds twitter noisily above, concealed by the leaves. You also see a tidy cat, a stately white marble manor with clusters of budding pink amaryllis along the path to the door and a wooden gate within a tall boxwood hedge. |
| Fang Cove: Beach Villa | [The Enclave at Fang Cove]
This quiet locale is a blend of soil, sand, shell and wood debris as the inland jungle meets and mingles with the beach. A long dead frond rests its dried tip on the ground as it dangles from a tall full-headed fan palm. From time to time, one of the night's avian predators alights in the treetop and silently surveys the sandy beach for its prey. You also see a spacious white sandstone villa with tropical shonji plants growing in brightly colored clusters along the path to the front door and an unremarkable hutch. |
| Shard: Doll Shop Apartment | [The Second-Floor Hallway]
The walls of the upstairs hall are covered with cream paper hand-painted in tones of green and gold with scenes of woodland and meadow. Two bronze lamps light the hall, and a big window graces the street end. You also see a silverwood door elaborately carved with blooming vines and an Elven silk picnic cloth embroidered with silvery thread with several things on it. |
| Crossing: Almarius and Allye's Writing Room | [Dintacui Apartments, Third Floor]
A giant geometric rose has been sculpted out of the end of this corridor. Underneath it run several lines of poetry, lit by glowstones emitting softly pearling light. You also see a blue willow door covered in fanciful depictions of puffy white clouds and glittering rainbows, a brass-trimmed olivewood door and a yew door. |

Allye's Alfar Companion
>meditate spoon As you contemplate the spoon, the air around you grows crisper, with the sharp smell of late autumn. In the distance, you hear the gentle chiming of bells, though their tones are slightly discordant to your ears. Abruptly, you realize that you are not alone, a hulking alfar warrior sporting smears of glittery amethyst war paint standing before you. Gently, the creature takes the spoon from your hand, inspecting it gravely. In a sonorous voice, the hulking warrior says, "This has been lost to my people for many years, and we had all but given up the search. My name is Arna. I owe you a great debt, Allye. Call upon me at any time, and I will come to your aid." The warrior bows respectfully, its left hand resting over its heart. As it straightens the warrior appears less real, like a reflection seen in an antique mirror. You close your eyes to blink away the dizzying apparition and when you open them, the creature is gone.
Your heart skips a beat as your spell sends a subtle jingling call outward from you in all directions. A hulking alfar warrior sporting smears of glittery amethyst war paint calmly strides in and surveys the area. You see a hulking alfar warrior sporting smears of glittery amethyst war paint. The hulking alfar warrior is in good shape. It is wearing some lacquered black heavy plate. It is carrying a spiked black shield, an unusual black blade. >desc warr Towering at a colossal height, the immense fae warrior moves with a loping grace despite its size. Scars crisscross the sharply angled planes of aldamdin-white skin that compose the creature's features and frame, clad in its armor and a heavy cloak of brown bear fur. Golden cat-slitted eyes glint with an untouchable stoic serenity, oddly belied by the splashes of sparkling purple streaked across its cheekbones and in wide bands around its arms. The warrior hovers near you protectively, smiling briefly at you when it notices you looking its way.
