Korin Altair/Relationships

Chickadee: Added/updated a social link or two

{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Main Page|1 Link Target=Korin Altair}}

== Relationships ==

=== [[Odin Finch|Odin Finch]] ===
<blockquote>''"An annoying birdbrain that makes life a little more difficult, but I have a promise to keep."''</blockquote>Korin's younger sister figure in his life. He pinky-promised their adoptive aunt when he was twelve years old to protect Odin and take care of her no matter the means, and lives by that promise even after 21 years and counting. They bicker and fight constantly, but in reality, their devotion to each other and their sibling relationship is like none other. He sees her as a nuisance more than half the time, but knows she means well and will defend her name behind her back. Otherwise, he doesn't skip out on an opportunity to insult her or kick her down for a joke. They mostly only encounter each other when meeting up in their home sector and partaking in rebuilding during the Valhalla Project.

=== [[Raelynn Aquamor|Raelynn Aquamor]] ===
<blockquote>''"The kids like her, so that's good enough for me."''</blockquote>Quite distrusting of the professor at first, he doesn't particularly sway towards like or dislike now that they have gotten to know each other. They partake in strategy board games such as checkers and chess when the opportunity arises, and so far, Rae has not won a single match. She is quite enthusiastic towards him, and likely doesn't notice he tries to ignore her most of the time.

=== [[Haladen Kloe|Haladen Kloe]] ===
<blockquote>''"A man with a silver tongue. It's, unfortunately, really good we have him on our side."''</blockquote>Haladen is one of the few people that can get a satisfied smirk out of Korin. The rate his quips run from his mouth can rival Korin's own speed, and often times, they will engage in a battle of quick-wits and snide comments until someone comes in and breaks up their conversation. It's all in good fun.

=== [[Lady Radialy|Lady Radialy]] ===
<blockquote>''"I'm grateful and indebted to her. I hope someday she'll see the fruits of our labor."''</blockquote>A mysterious woman with less mysterious goals—to Korin, at least. She was one of the first to offer respite to an abandoned Korin and Odin after the blaze destroyed their home sector in Eversun City. Korin sees Lady Radialy as a highly trusted contact and mentor, and will still wander around her territory as a secondary sanctuary of respite when he needs a rest without wandering back to Eversun. They've learned a lot about the world outside of the Guild's influence from her, even going so far as to inform them on how curses work and how to avoid areas where they are prevalent.

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus|Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
<blockquote>''"…I’ve loved and lost too many times. From each ends of the world, to the skies of the Dragons, I swear I will do everything I can to make sure he knows he is loved and has no reason to be scared anymore."''</blockquote>In a life where everything is fleeting enough to be taken away at a moment’s notice, and has constantly happened to Korin, this is one thread he would do anything to keep tethered to himself. While Korin intended to exploit the unassuming researcher for information to relay to Mirage, eventually the visits became a dedicated, needed routine for upwards of three years. After making the difficult decision to dismiss himself from the most important celebration of the year for the Valhalla Project to pay him a worried visit, their oath to one another sealed their future of dependency and affection under lock and key. For as long as he can, he will carry this declaration of his feelings through everything and more; perhaps he will see how it will begin change him for the better. It’s thanks to his partner that he’s learned to laugh and smile once more past all of the struggles since his childhood. After a long week of work, he uses that same subtle smile to greet him every Ariaday afternoon, returning home to the presence he needs most of all.

=== [[Nine]] ===
<blockquote>''"Having someone who understands us has helped a lot. I know how people like him are—quiet, but secretly caring. Hits home, I guess."''</blockquote>Introduced through Odin, Korin was incredibly distrusting of Nine at first until told that the older man was a victim of the fire in their shared home sector. He dropped his guard immediately, and now attempts to visit him every so often as an obligation to protect and care for any and all survivors of the incident no matter how old or young they may be. They share a similar presentation of their personalities: both are quite broody and quiet on the outside, but will happily reach out to others who have gone through tragedy and need a helping hand without any questions asked. Korin will also occasionally go out of his way to deliver fresh produce to Nine in exchange for delivering hearty meals to the residents of the Valhalla Project.

=== [[Monica Holst|Monica Holst]] ===
<blockquote>''"... What about her?"''</blockquote>Met through Odin, Korin doesn't particularly think one way or another towards Monica, which is the most common feeling he typically has towards others. She takes his place when he is out traveling to read to the kids of the Valhalla Project, but he is secretly attached to the storybook reader position. He knows the kids would never choose her over him... but he can't help but get a weird feeling that it could happen. There's also some talk about some mutual headpat exchanges, but when confronted, he'd ignore you.

=== [[Ari Lancaster|Ari Lancaster]] ===
<blockquote>''“If I see this fucker try to make a move on'' either ''of them, I’m gonna—“''</blockquote>An unfortunate surprise encounter introduced the two to each other, and now Korin is locked into an, unfortunately, quite helpful deal with the Elvaari man. Thanks to his position in the Trade Division, Ari is able to forge just enough documentation to keep the Valhalla Project under wraps. By technicalities and personal values, Korin is indebted to Ari, doubly so if he’s to take Odin’s debt upon his shoulders as well. He’ll figure it out eventually, as the only payment Ari wants is something Korin would never willingly give him.

=== [[Eleanor Valentine|Eleanor Valentine]] ===
<blockquote>''"...A persistent little bug, she is. Kind of reminds me of some of the orphans hanging around home. She's alright."''</blockquote>Encountered by repeat meetings while Korin infiltrated the Grand Archivist Library for both information about magic and children's books (quite a stark contrast, as she's noticed), Ella has wriggled her way into Korin's soft spot. Seeing a curiosity in her eyes similar to the orphans he's taking care of in the Valhalla Project, he allows her to accompany him where he needs to go in the Guild. It helps to have someone trust him especially, since he's just parading around as a fake Adventurer. Ella is also the only person he'd ever accept a hug from without prior permission.

=== [[Jaina Ryder]] ===
<blockquote>''"She stayed with us for a brief period here losing her home. She’s one of us."''</blockquote>Jaina came to the Valhalla Project Landing shortly after losing her family and down to an event involving the spread of law aether. Korin treats her the same way as the rest of the youth who call the Valhalla Project their home, and is always grateful for her continued support of the project even after leaving. He pokes at her like an older brother still, often chiding her to make sure she’s still keeping her health in check. He knows Odin takes good care of her during work hours, so he typically steps away from being overbearing. Jaina should know that he’s always scalable as a resource whenever she needs him.

Mirage

2026-04-06T21:23:33Z

Chickadee:

'''''Mirage''''' is a criminal organization founded on the belief that [[Arcane Energy|magic]] is a plague. It describes its ideals as anti-magic and against the [[Adventurers' Guild]].

== Reputation ==
The small group known as Mirage is a name recognizable by the general populace, especially in [[Eversun City]]. They are nonviolent protesters against aether use and Guild government, often playing grandiose pranks around Eversun City and the [[The Hearth|Hearth]] to scare the public and announce their name for all to know. The reaction to Mirage's existence tends to be split between thinking they are not a concern and just a group of silly, harmless pranksters, and the belief that they are dangerous and are not to be taken lightly at all. Their name may be known outside of Eversun City as well, stirring up trouble and rumors that Mirage is truly up to no good. At the end of the day, they are still criminals, but the Guild has no intention on treating them as such currently. One may find wanted posters of the members plastered on some bulletin boards in some cities, but the rewards aren't all that great and the pictures are poorly drawn.

== History ==
Mirage began as an anti-magic faction back in the 1100s, though their precise start date is unknown. The original group consisted of fifteen individuals under a leader by the name of ''Quill''. Quill was a visionary and charismatic to the extreme. She walked the streets of every city and town possible in [[Castrella]], preaching her ideologies against the arcane in attempts to turn the general public's opinion in her favor. Many people dismissed her talks as publicity stunts and waved her off. However, she did capture the eyes of some more interested individuals who would eventually approach her to request membership within her faction. After recruiting these fifteen individuals and utilizing their unique traits, Quill began her true research into a way to destroy magic. This Mirage's reputation grew far and wide as a dangerous faction not to be trifled with. Despite their negative reputation, the members of Mirage treated each other like a family. Close-knit and would happily step in the way of danger for any of their members, even willing to sacrifice their lives for another. Every individual was treated equally and respectfully, and they all had fun spending time with each other.

There came a time where a Mirage member presented blueprints on the technology used to create bubbles in [[Arcane Energy#Chaotic Elements|chaotic aether]] [[Corruption|corrupted]] zones. These blueprints were stolen property of the Guild, but what that member didn't realize was that these ideas were old and discarded. This spurred Quill's research further, going so far as to move their headquarters into the region of [[Castrella#Null|Null]] to strip its resources and use them in the bubble technology. Once situated, the group dedicated all of their efforts into creating a version of a bubble that would erase magic within its confines over time. This experiment grew out of hand very quickly, and ended up imploding on itself due to many miscalculations and impatience. All of the Mirage members were killed in this accident save for one, when Quill sacrificed herself to save a young [[Races#Cupids|Cupid]] by the name of '''''Yulia Lanford'''''.

Distraught by the demise of her family, Yulia took the name of [[Quill]] as her own, treating it as a title more than a name. Despite her youth and naivety, she vowed to uphold the values of Mirage and create a new faction, a family just like the ones she lost. During her wandering far and wide over Solaurum, she grew tired and frustrated that she could not hold half of the charisma of the old Quill and often failed in her preaches to recruit others. Eventually, she gave up on announcing Mirage's existence and drifted all over the continent, losing herself and the values she once held dear.

After about ten years (around 1220), Quill has recruited six other members into this new Mirage. During these ten years, it seems that a good handful of the population of Solaurum forgot Mirage's name or assumed they disbanded. That is far from the truth, and now Mirage's reputation is skyrocketing as dangerous but nonviolent tricksters, or wannabe vigilantes who talk big game but can never get anything done.

== Members ==
In order of recruitment,

* [[Quill]], leader
* [[Jeanine Raghbrinez]], gadget tinkerer
* [[Korin Altair]], intelligence relay
* [[Zapalka]], trap master
* [[Rosalie Cocoli]], master thief

== Trivia ==

* Every member of Mirage has a personalized diffuser charm crafted by Quill that acts as a tracker and an identification tag. These charms are multipurpose and can be utilized as magic foci, aether supplements, or simply decoration.
* Their headquarters is a cave somewhere.
* Quill hosts game nights once a week, and it is mandatory attendance.

Chickadee:

[[Castrella]] has a unique calendar system, that is dictated by the movement of the moon. The '''current year''' is 1231. To figure out '''your Zodiac''', check the Month you were born and the Moon of the specific day you were born. It is ''important'' you go to the ''proper year of birth'' since the moon cycle changes ''every year''.

* '''Zodiac Example:'''

<blockquote>[Castrellan Times Date: Flourish 18th 1230] ←→ [Earth Times Date: January 25th 2025]

Flourish has the adjective listed as: [[Calendar#Months|<nowiki>''</nowiki>Impulsive<nowiki>''</nowiki>]], and on the 18th of the year 1230, the moon phase of that specific date is: Lunar, Waxing Crescent. Which has the zodiac noun listed as: [[Calendar#Moon Phases|<nowiki>''</nowiki>Wyvern<nowiki>''</nowiki>]].

So the example of this date's zodiac becomes: <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''Impulsive Wyvern'''<nowiki>''</nowiki>. </blockquote>You can check the proper dates, years, and moon phases by checking the [[Calendar#Calendar Link(s):|calendar links]] below.

Axioms

2026-03-21T20:01:46Z

Chickadee:

The '''axioms''' exist to create a skeleton of '''universal truths''' to follow when writing in the setting of '''[[Castrella]]'''. While these are truths that should be followed strictly, do not fret too much about breaking them initially. Most items are easy to rewrite and retrofit into the setting.

Most of these axioms are summarized articles stemming from their original pages. All mentions of pages will be linked corresponding to their heading in this page. We implore you to review the linked pages if you have questions regarding a certain axiom, and if you cannot find the answer you seek, please reach out to a Guild Administrator for clarification! It's best to contact a Guild Administrator vis Discord by either pinging the role, or one of our individuals listed below.

=== Guild Administrators ===

* [[User:Chickadee|Dee]] (''chickadee.'')
* [[User:Ethanwoopdedoo|Ethan]] (''ethanwoopdedo)''
* '''[[User:Dizziberry|Dizzi]]''' (''dizziberry'')
* [[User:CactusOasis|Cactus]] (''cactusoasis'')
* '''[[User:Bibbleskit|Bibs]]''' (''bibbleskit'')

== Setting Themes/Inspirations ==
Castrella is described as a "high-fantasy" world with some technological advancements. To give an idea on what may be available in regards to inventions, machinery, or day-to-day objects, please see below.

=== Media Inspirations: ===

* ''[[wikipedia:Frieren|Frieren: Beyond Journey's End]]''
* '''''[[wikipedia:Final_Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]''''' (Primarily '''''Final Fantasy XIV''''')
* '''''[[wikipedia:Kingdom_Hearts|Kingdom Hearts]]'''''
* [[wikipedia:Monster_Hunter|''Monster Hunter'']]
* '''''[[wikipedia:RWBY|RWBY]]'''''
* [[wikipedia:Rune_Factory|''Rune Factory'']]
* [[wikipedia:World_of_Warcraft|''World of Warcraft'']]

=== Time Period Estimation ===

* Around 1850s pre-industrial revolution.
** There are some inventions that may be ahead of its time in the real world that are present in Castrella—this is simply a rough idea to help propel ideas forward of what is possible with the current technology and '''[[Magitech]]'''.

=== Overall Vibes ===

* '''Keep It Silly!''' While yes, we have a story with conflict and an antagonist faction, we want to keep the themes and settings super casual and fun. '''Castrella is all about the magical mundane''', living day-to-day with magic and technology hand-in-hand and having fun with it.

== The Absolutely Do-Nots ==

* '''DO NOT FORCE OTHER PEOPLE'S CHARACTERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO OR BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY YOUR OWN CHARACTER'S LORE. Essentially, no god-modding, in ye olde Tumblr RP terms.'''
** An example would be having a major disaster directly affect an entire territory/city/town/etc. that someone's character originates from.
* Do not write for others unless specifically collaborating with the other character's writer!
* Do not cause major damage to Eversun or the Guild. This is reserved for major story events hosted by Guild Administration.
* If you are writing a character with a curse, please do not have your curse affect other people's characters unless you have permission from that creator.

== Affecting the Wiki and the World ==

* '''Under no circumstances should you be editing someone’s character page that is not yours, the Main Page, or the Axioms page.'''

* Feel free to create your own character pages after a character has been approved in the Discord!
* Speak to Guild Administration before creating pages regarding general worldbuilding lore (creatures, locations, etc). We want to make sure things fit and do not overlap.
* If you see a typo in someone else's page, kindly bring it up to the page creator or Guild Administration.

* '''Have your ideas public'''. Showing your ideas to be added on and seen is the best way to have things become beloved. We’re a community, so all ideas should be shared.
* Make sure you '''get feedback''' from the Tavern Talk channel before treating something as canon.
* The Guild Administration, as its creators, may come up with a few fun secret events without anyone else knowing, but that will be for entertaining events.

== Races ==

=== Power Scaling ===

* In terms of races, one should consider that no matter what you are, all races have benefits. You should aim to create a character you like and not worry about how strong they are! Many aspects of Castrella are '''not combat oriented''' and is all about the magical mundane. Do not get too caught up in creating someone physically capable.
* In terms of aether and magic, make sure your character has flaws and drawbacks that create an interesting circumstance. Often, simple abilities will be powerful, however, complex abilities come with the benefit of higher risk creating higher rewards.
* '''Everyone has a role to play.'''

=== Race-Specific Axioms ===
* The [[Races#Kindred|Kindred]] are based on '''warm-blooded vertebrates and mammals.'''
* The personality traits, aspect favors, and common occupations listed on the [[Races]] page are just merely suggestions and what is more common in that race.
* Mixed races ''are'' possible., '''except for [[Races#Dragons|dragons]].'''
* Most races can live for longer than a century and it's very common. Don't be afraid to push your character's age up in numbers while still keeping them youthful and happy.
* Dragons are '''formidable in strength''' but for consistency purposes (and no "''my dragon wipes the floor with everything''", dragons outside of [[Lyrrh al Stahl|Lyrrh al Stahl]] take longer to be able to reach their full potential of power.
== Eversun City ==

* The primary setting where most worldbuilding will exist is '''[[Eversun City]]'''[[Eversun City|.]]
* The basic language is known as '''Castrellan Common''' (English, due to the nature of being an English-speaking Discord server)

== The Adventurers' Guild and its Functions ==

=== Affiliation ===

* Your character does '''not''' have to be a part of the Guild, as other factions exist within the story.
** If your character '''is''' registered under the Guild, they '''must''' be assigned to a [[The Adventurer's Guild#Major Divisions|Major Division]].
*** See '''[[Adventurers' Guild#Guild Policies|Guild Policies]]''' for more information.

=== Curriculum ===

* Every adventurer '''must''' '''have graduated''' from the '''[[Education Division Academy]]'''.
** This includes having '''proficiency with a''' '''weapon''' ''or'' at minimum '''have trained in both self defense and combat (like martial arts, CQC, or other variants)'''.

* Public schools and universities exist outside of the Guild, but they are for residents that are not a registered member of the Guild.

=== General Knowledge ===

* The '''[[The Hearth|Hearth]]''' is the Guild's building and headquarters in Eversun City. The Hearth is not the entire Guild itself.
* Currently, the only workers that would have exposure to law and whimsy aether, are adventurers from the [[The Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]], '''[[Arcane Sciences Division]]''', and [[The Contingency Division|Contingency Division]]

=== Positions and Authorities ===

* The current Guildmaster is '''[[Pterra Whitt]]''', and everyone has interacted with Guildmaster Whitt at least once on a personal level.
* Every division has one or more headmasters which may branch downwards into lower tier management, such as directors over certain subdivisions.

* When making a character, make sure the position they exist in has some regulation and relevance to the Guild. You can make one up entirely, e.g.: ''"Avistus Behavior Specialist"'' in the '''[[Environmental Division]]''' as long as it makes sense!
** Please reserve higher-authority positions such as Directors and Headmasters to Guild Administration.

=== Acting Against or Without Permission of the Guild ===

* If you disrupt or break Guild policy, you may have your guild identification card revoked, either temporarily or permanently. If it is permanently revoked, it is irreversible. If or when one acts on their own without waiting for the Guild’s permission, the Guild is not responsible for any of their actions and claims no state of affiliation for action. Since the Guild holds high power in their hands and acts as the governmental body of not only Eversun City, but the entirety of Castrella, becoming a problem for the Guild will at best get you removed from its ranks, or at worst, imprisonment. (''This is not to say you can’t write a character who acts against the Guild within, but rather, to remember that the character is truly risking their safety net of the Guild by doing so.'')
** This is a direct except from the [[Adventurers' Guild|Adventurers' Guild]] page.

=== Third-Party Factions ===

* Third-party factions are organizations unaffiliated with the Adventurers' Guild. The Guild has no issues with someone setting up a specially focused organization, however, please be mindful you will be a direct competitor of the Adventurers' Guild's assets and organizations. '''''If you as a creator are wanting to create a third-party faction, it is allowed, but it would be best to talk with a member of Guild Administration regarding this aspect''.'''
** This is a direct except from the [[Adventurers' Guild|Adventurers' Guild]] page.

== Calendar and Time ==
* The current year is '''1230'''. Keep this in mind when creating your characters and choosing their birthdays. Use the [[Calendar]] page!
* A character's Zodiac is the moon phase '''from the day they were born in that year''', not the current year! Be sure to specify the year when using the calendar page.
*The calendar is equivalent to real-world days and has the same amount of days in a year: 365.
*The holiday weeks/months will have an equivalent in the real world, and will likely have an Event in the Discord server to celebrate.

=== Major Events and Community Holidays ===

* As of right now, holiday event-months/weeks will have real-world equivalents and have Events hosted as replacements to [[Weekly Prompts|Weekly Prompts]].
* Major events are story beats for our characters to interact with, so treat them as chapters within the Castrella story.
** These will be '''month long events''' where we can all interact around the subject, possibly even have collaboration events or weekly prompts relevant to it.
** These events can cover Magitech progression, Outerworld Division progression, festivities or important holiday celebrations, or major story beats that may be world-threatening or Guild-threatening.

== Arcane Energy, Aspects, Curses, and Derivatives ==
This section can serve as an introduction to the [[Arcane Energy|Arcane Energy]] page. For more expansion on the below topics, please visit that page!

=== General Spellweaving ===

* Casting Spells requires different components based on the spells.
* Every basic person has the capability to spellweave, since every person has a natural aspect. Higher-power spells are taught by the Guild.
* Combining aetheric elements can yield abstract results with a creative mind.
** Every dual combination of aether is possible. One person's fire + water combination will be different than the next person's fire + water combination depending on how they perceive and imagine their results. Aether is abstract, and can yield near-infinite possibilities and combinations. Have fun with it, as long as it's not too overpowered.

=== Aspects ===
* Every creature in the world is born with a natural, organic [[Arcane Energy#Aspects|aspect]]. '''You must assign a birth elemental aspect to your character.'''
** Every character is born with an aspect whether it is genetic or influenced by the environment. Your body can hold a second aspect that is learned, however, that is about its limit in terms of natural means. It is entirely possible to cast spells outside of these two body-attuned aspects, but it proves much more difficult. Not everyone has to have a second aspect, but if your character does, make it make sense as to why they chose that aspect.

=== Curses ===
* '''[[Curses]]''' are based on mental health and can not pass genetically. Do not let these curses affect more than your own character unless given permission.

=== Magitech ===
* '''[[Magitech]]''' is very new and unexplored. Hold onto your advanced invention ideas for story progression!

=== Chaotic Elements ===

* No one can be '''born into''' the [[Arcane Energy#Aspects|aspects]] of law and whimsy. The '''[[Arcane Energy#Chaotic Elements|chaotic elements]]''' are caused by unnatural imbalances.

* Law and whimsy are '''highly volatile and corrosive''' [[Arcane Energy#Aether|aether]] - they can spread like a virus if not properly taken care of.
** People who have learned to control their '''chaotic element''' as a second aspect are non-contagious. They have to take supplements provided by the Guild to control it.

==== Whimsy and Law Corruption ====

* Chaotic element [[Corruption|corruption]] will first target your learned aspect before your birth aspect. Over time corruption will eventually sap your ability to draw from that second aspect until you are unable to use it and the chaotic element has taken over that completely.
** '''The final product always leads to the chaotic element overriding your second aspect entirely, and then your birth aspect.'''

== Have Fun! ==
The purpose of this page is not to limit your creativity but create boundaries to perfectly mesh your ideas within the setting.

Chickadee:

=== '''Welcome to the world of [[Castrella]]!''' ===
Founded in December of 2024, the Castrella Project is a high-fantasy group world building collaboration between its contributors. Everyone involved in the Castrella project can submit their ideas for the world and have others expand upon them, ultimately creating and solidifying parts of the fantasy world in their own way. This group primarily discusses its contributions through a Discord server.

To be involved within this fantasy world, please reach out to [https://bsky.app/profile/dee.castrella.com Dee]. As of March 2025, the Discord sever is closed but accepting interested names for a waitlist.

== Guidelines ==
As with most community-based projects, a set of rules and guidelines are essential to the structure and integrity of the world. We recommend browsing through the majority of the main topics listed on our sidebar in order to get a feel for how the setting functions and what type of fantasy weaves itself in our stories. Once a basic comprehension is held, you may move down to the below topics.

=== [[Axioms]] ===
The [[Axioms]] page serves as a '''list of universal truths''' to follow when writing and contributing for Castrella's setting. They are static statements that will clearly affect how contributors write and mold their character and setting, so it is a requirement to review this page prior to design. While it is a lengthy read, it will help tremendously in ensuring you nail the vibes and themes of the world perfectly.

=== [[Building a Character]] ===
This page serves as an informational guide on how to start building a character for the setting. It explains in detail how subjects like [[races]] and [[Arcane Energy|aspects]] should play into your character and why they're important. Creating your first character for Castrella is everyone's first step into contribution, and of course, there are many people to assist in this endeavor if you're feeling lost. Once the character creation process has been reviewed and accepted, you can view how to create a WikiMedia page for your character [[Creating A Character Page|here]].

== Core Topics ==
Some major pages that build more upon the overarching setting of Castrella can be found down below, as well as the sidebar. As always, the WikiMedia is a perpetual work-in-progress, and all items can and will be expanded upon more and more in the future as members contribute and thread together their ideas to make this world functional and sensical.

Chickadee: Updated current year

[[Castrella]] has a unique calendar system, that is dictated by the movement of the moon. The '''current year''' is 1231. To figure out '''your Zodiac''', check the Month you were born and the Moon of the specific day you were born. It is ''important'' you go to the ''proper year of birth'' since the moon cycle changes ''every year''.

* '''Zodiac Example:'''

<blockquote>[Castrellan Times Date: Flourish 18th 1230] ←→ [Earth Times Date: January 25th 2025]

Flourish has the adjective listed as: [[Calendar#Months|<nowiki>''</nowiki>Impulsive<nowiki>''</nowiki>]], and on the 18th of the year 1230, the moon phase of that specific date is: Lunar, Waxing Crescent. Which has the zodiac noun listed as: [[Calendar#Moon Phases|<nowiki>''</nowiki>Wyvern<nowiki>''</nowiki>]].

So the example of this date's zodiac becomes: <nowiki>''</nowiki>'''Impulsive Wyvern'''<nowiki>''</nowiki>. </blockquote>You can check the proper dates, years, and moon phases by checking the [[Calendar#Calendar Link(s):|calendar links]] below.

* '''Additional Note:''' Leap Year is '''''not''''' present within the world of Castrella.

Korin Altair

Chickadee: yay new outfit :)

'''''Korin Altair''''' is a Lesser wolf [[Races#Kindred|Kindred]] native to [[Eversun City|Eversun City]]. He works for '''[[Mirage]]''' as an intelligence relay as a means to keep the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]], an under-the-table orphanage in the slums of Eversun City, afloat with his [[Odin|adoptive sister]].

== Appearance ==
A rather tall wolf Kindred with messy, chin-length purple hair he keeps hidden beneath a black beanie hat. The beanie has holes for his ears to pop out of. He has striking sunset-amber eyes that always look disinterested and tired, and has a scar starting from the bridge of his nose running down his left cheek.

Korin wears a black collared dress shirt beneath a purple-grey furred coat he wears over his shoulders. He's never seen actually wearing the coat by its sleeves. He also wears brown leather gloves, a brown leather belt with a silver buckle, and blue baggy pants with pockets on the side of his mid-thighs. A one-handed broadsword rests on his left side, without a sheath, embedded with a gem in the pommel for basic spellweaving enhancements to the blade.

A purple muffler never leaves his neck. There are maybe only two instances where he'd part ways with it, but for now, those instances remain unspoken of.

== Personality ==
Growing up in poverty desensitized Korin to a lot of feelings. He is usually seen with a straight, serious, or tired expression and speaks with a low tone. Most people read his expression as disinterest or exhaustion with the conversation, but he does enjoy speaking to people—he has quite the amicable personality and charisma to squeeze his way into getting what he wants.

Korin is graced with quick wits and a fast tongue; if he needs to slip away from a situation, he can typically do so unnoticed, and when faced with a difficult conversation, his silver words can excuse him from speaking further. He is sly, agile, and a physical menace in addition to his wits. One of his favorite activities is exchanging rude and sarcastic quips with others who will fight back, or get frustrated at his words (particularly Odin).

When it comes to protecting the people who matter most to him, Korin would sacrifice anything to see it through. He strictly believes ends justify the means, and often gets into trouble for these ideals. It has never stopped him, and continues to propel his ideals forward.

In reality, Korin is heavily depressed and remains under his own self-imposed impression that once the Valhalla Project is completed and he loses his family, he will be no longer needed in his companions' lives and will escape far away from Eversun City to live in probable solitude. As of now, no one knows of this ideal, and plans to never reveal it.

== Biography ==
Korin was born in the slums of the northwestern sector of Eversun City to Charlotte and Caden Altair, a pair of wolf Kindred from northern territories. He was actually quite coddled by his parents, being nothing but sweet to their only child. Despite this, most of his young life was spent stealing from tourists and travelers when they least expected it, selling odd trinkets and valuables for money, and using the rotten income to survive. He avoided accepting charity and attempted to gain what he needs himself. When in an excess, he’d donate food to the other starving children growing up around him.

In 1206, Korin's parents contracted a mysterious fatal illness and passed away. Knowing that [[Micaiah Finch]], a prolific leader and role model in the sector, had recently taken an extremely young [[Odin Finch|Featherfolk girl]] recently, he forced his way into their "family" as his only option to keep a roof over his head. While Micaiah was not particularly happy about this new addition, she wouldn't turn away helping anyone, especially not a child who needed so much assistance. He lived with the two for the rest of his childhood, up until his adolescence. Micaiah attempted to re-enroll him into public school, but he was unwilling to comply, and thus stopped his education at nine years of age. He taught Odin, his newfound younger sister, tips and tricks on stealing from others without being noticed in exchange for her own classroom lessons. He'd still run around the other districts and steal from people who are well-off, bringing back trinkets to sell or offer to his family without a word, but would often get scolded for it. He may not have been able to show it properly, but he was grateful to his newfound family.

There came a day in 1209 where a fire broke out in Korin's home sector, when he was fifteen years old. Due to the laziness of the Civil Affairs guards stationed to keep an eye on this sector, the fire quickly grew out of hand. There were no spellweavers versed in water aether close by to assist with the fire, and eventually, over 80% of the already-deteriorating houses in the sector burned to the ground. Many more children were left without parents, and worse for Korin and Odin, they had lost Micaiah in the blaze. This wasn't without receiving her signature muffler from her, indicating her trust and hopes for him. He remembers her final request being to bring Odin away from the destruction and make sure the two stick together, as he’d be the only one responsible to keep her safe from then on. After the destruction, the Guild insisted there was an investigation conducted, but there turned up no results of it being purposeful.

From then on, Korin and Odin spent their teen years wandering Eversun, stealing food and money from passersby with little trouble. This was until the two met [[Lady Radialy|Lady Radialy]] on a chance meeting; sensing a curse forming within the abandoned rubble of the old district, she came to investigate and found the two teens highly defensive of her visit. Instead of ignoring their plight, she offered to take them in and mentor them until they were ready to go off on their own, as their mutual distaste for the Guild became apparent in their small encounter. Without much room to turn, they accepted her salvation.

Much later, Korin watched Odin apply to the Guild to infiltrate its ranks and bring justice from the inside, but the thought of employing his own efforts to the body that failed him sickened him. Instead, once Odin was registered under the Guild and was certain she’d be safe, he began wandering on his own to find the cause of the fire. His investigations turned up nothing, and he quickly grew demotivated and tired of chasing a false trail.

At age 24, Korin was approached by a 20-year-old Odin with the determined offer of rebuilding their home sector and using her high salary to kickstart the project. He did not hesitate to accept and begin the blueprints to the plan, and the project has been underway ever since. This began the foundation of the Valhalla Project as an idea to provide solace and sanctuary to the victims of the fire from years ago that are still suffering.

The start of the Valhalla Project spurred Korin in the direction of joining the ranks of '''[[Mirage]]''' as he refused to join the ranks of the Guild. During a break within his home sector, he was discovered by [[Quill]], Mirage's leader. She was visibly impressed by the dedication and work he was putting into the project, but deemed it dangerous and bound to be discovered. She promised to help the project remain hidden, away from the Guild's eye, and provide resources to assist if he simply joined her ranks. Unable to decline, he became [[Pact|pacted]] to Quill and offered himself as an intelligence relay to Mirage. He now currently roams Castrella for information, jobs, and any resources he can get his hands on in order to contribute to the project. While Korin’s time is mostly spent away from Eversun City, he ensures visits every week to assist and give the orphaned children an opportunity for education, reading to them and assisting them in how to do so.

== Valuables ==

=== Purple Muffler ===

* A large, purple, fleece scarf gifted by Micaiah prior to her disappearance into the fire of 1209. He is rarely ever seen without it in public, only taking it off behind closed doors. He gets quite sensitive if someone tries to touch or take it.
** ''"Mic gifting me this muffler has put me in a bothersome position. I feel like I'm now the one responsible to look after people in her place. Thanks, Mic."''

=== Childhood Photo ===

* A pristine photo of Korin and Odin dated on their "shared" birthday, Nova 31, 1209, right in between their own birthdates. Odin is hugging Korin's arm with a bright smile, and Korin holds up a peace sign with a nervous smile. He keeps this photo tucked away into his wallet and has never shown anyone this photo.
** ''"...She has a much shorter lifespan than I do."''

=== Adventurers' Guild Items ===

* Korin owns a blue armband from the Wayfarers' Division. It used to belong to Odin prior to her transfer to the [[Outerworld Division]]. Korin wears it when he infiltrates the Hearth walls as to nor stir up attention to his presence. As far as everyone is concerned, he is a Wayfarer. He owns a forged identification card as well, and uses it to access certain parts of the Archivist Grand Library where needed.
** ''"Unfortunately, the Hearth is like, the only place I can't break in unnoticed."''

=== Aetheric Steel Broadsword ===

* A weapon designed to act as a conduit for aetheric enhancements. Korin is not particularly well-attuned to magic and spellweaving—the installment of a blue gemstone ripped from the Wayfarers' Division armband onto the blade's pommel assists with elemental enhancements to the blade. As of right now, he can only enhance the blade with his two aspects very poorly: light and fire. He avoids using fire. He has no sheath for it.
** ''"It gets the job done. Kind of still get a headache when I try to use magic, though."''

== Relationships ==

== Trivia ==

* '''Voice Claim''': Shinjiro Aragaki, Persona 3 Reload (Justice Slocum) [https://youtu.be/I7OWkHG_7oU?t=61 ''<nowiki>[Listen here!]</nowiki>'']
* Thanks to the events of 1209, Korin suffers from pyrophobia.
* Has a bottomless stomach for meat and alcohol, and gets a little rowdy when drinking.
* Secretly enjoys his tail and ears being fluffed and scratched. He will not admit it.
* No one except Odin and his teammates know that he is a part of Mirage.
* He does not like sweets, and quite enjoys bitter food.
* His mentality is permanently caught up in the past, mostly attached to the promise he made to Micaiah before her death. Because of this, he holds no regards to the future, and is highly depressed.
* The purple muffler he is never seen without is Micaiah's muffler. Seriously—do not separate them!
* Korin has a forged Adventurers' Guild ID card with his photo on it. Odin gave him her old Wayfarer's Division armband as well, so he has full access to the basic levels of the Hearth.
* Ironically, his favorite color is ''not'' purple, it's just his hair color and Micaiah's muffler. If asked, he doesn't have a favorite color. Maybe blue? It reminds him of family.
* Thanks to his upbringing, he's not ''that'' educated; he can read at a basic fundamental level, and can speak really well, but cannot decipher complicated passages without prior context.

}}'''''Odin Finch''''' is a Corvid [[Races#Featherfolk|Featherfolk]] native to [[Eversun City|Eversun City]] currently working in the [[The Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]] as a squadron captain. She utilizes this high income to host the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]], an under-the-table reconstruction project in the northwestern slums of Eversun with her [[Korin|adoptive brother]].

== Appearance ==
Odin, in Featherfolk standards, is an average-height woman with fair skin and freckles all over her body. She has lime green eyes that seem distant and deep, barely ever reflecting light properly. After the incident which caused her Law corruption, she lost vision in her right eye, changing its color to an iridescent white. Her skin from her right eye to her right elbow is blackened with corruption scars, and she uses aether-enhanced bandages to stunt the corruption growth and cover what she deems as “ugly.” Odin’s natural hair color is a deep midnight blue, but she frequently dyes her hair a pink-red color. When she doesn’t bleach her hair to apply the dye, her natural hair color comes through past the dye.

Odin’s typical outfit is a black collared dress shirt tied at the collar with a blue ribbon. A dark grey-blue overcoat covers most of it, buttoned up specifically to hide her body shape. It has white fur lining, gold accents, and darker blue belts on the sleeve cuffs and waist. A brown leather weapon sling crosses her body from her right shoulder and holds her trusty greatsword, affectionately named “Guillotine.” She wears dark grey leggings underneath the coat and brown calf-length boots. She is also always seen wearing a ribbon in her hair that matches the color of her outfit, typically a cerulean blue. She also often wears red eye makeup.

Prominent Featherfolk features of hers include dark purple-black wings and a bird’s tail. While Odin doesn’t typically stretch her wings outside of exercise, her wingspan rests at 230cm (~8’7”).

== Personality ==
Odin is a fairly carefree woman, often riding the current atmosphere and answering accordingly. She adapts well to shifting conditions both in mood and combat, and does attempt to act friendly towards most people. She doesn't initiate conversation particularly herself, but will chime in when asked to or if she thinks her ideas are important to contribute. Many individuals who simply pass by her will comment on how difficult it is to pinpoint what type of person she truly is, and of course, rumors spread like wildfire within the Hearth walls. Odin claims she does not have her own personality.

To her squadron, Odin is determined, loyal, and commandeering. She is not afraid to intervene when a rookie or seasoned veteran is failing, and disciplines her squadron in various ways that are not demeaning. Other squadrons audibly recount their wishes to have Odin as their captain, to which she compliments the other squadrons' captains and assures their regimens are just as important. Staffing outside of the division, however, fear Odin and have only heard of how fearsome she is on the battlefield.

== Biography ==
Odin's story starts as an orphaned Featherfolk who was kidnapped by a band of mercenaries and then rescued by a wayfaring woman named [[Micaiah Finch]]. Micaiah returned to Eversun City and took Odin in as a foster where she lived: the northwestern sector of Eversun City, notorious for hosting the poorer and impoverished residents of the City.

The [[The Civil Affairs Division|Civil Affairs Division]] of Eversun City is supposed to be the pillar of protection and safety for the capital. Unfortunately, the guards particularly assigned to Odin's sector were cruel and punishing. They would ignore their given instructions and provide little to no support to the area, when the residents barely generated enough income to keep a roof over their heads. Micaiah was slightly better off than most of the residents in this sector, but she devoted a lot of time, effort, and money to acting as the community leader for this sector as well as working for the Adventurers' Guild in the [[Archivist Division|Archivist Division]]. While Micaiah worked her Guild shifts, Odin attended public school starting at five years old.

Because of Micaiah's frequent absence and very laid-back attitude, Odin spent her younger years as a very ornery crybaby. She'd often demand more time with Micaiah, or better meals, or more gifts... requests along those lines. She didn't have many friends even in school, but that drastically changed when she suddenly gained another family member.

in 1206, a Lesser wolf Kindred by the name of '''[[Korin]]''' showed up at their doorstep. His parents had recently passed from unknown reasons; at his age, he understood that Micaiah acted as a step-in leader for the community and returned to her for assistance. Thus, Korin became Micaiah's second foster alongside Odin. Odin then spent most of her free time teaching Korin the subjects she'd learn in her school classes, since he had stopped attending public school. In exchange, Korin would pull Odin out of the house and dispel her loneliness, teaching her how to navigate the streets better, steal from the rich who don't need their pocketbooks, and show all the routes to take to avoid guards. Eventually, Odin turned into a little thief alongside her brother-figure, taking trinkets to sell on the market or outright wallets from people's pockets. This infuriated Micaiah, but she didn't actively attempt to teach them otherwise due to her busy schedule. The two became inseparable family and always had ''something'' occurring, whether it was thieving, teaching, playing games, or bickering with each other like real siblings.

There came a night in 1209, a few months after her birthday, where a fire broke out in Odin's home sector, when she was eight years old. Due to the laziness of the Civil Affairs guards stationed to keep an eye on this sector, the fire quickly grew out of hand. There were no spellweavers versed in water aether close by to assist with the fire, and eventually, over 80% of the already-deteriorating houses in the sector burned to the ground. Many more children were left without parents, and worse for Odin, she had lost Micaiah in the blaze. Her final moments with Micaiah were spent kicking and screaming, being pulled away by Korin to safety by Micaiah's last request. Micaiah, as a parting gift, entrusted Odin with her pocket watch to keep a memory of her. With Odin's and Korin's home now burned to ashes after that night, the two were left to wander the streets of Eversun City with only a single goal in mind: survive.

Odin spent her adolescence wandering Eversun City with her older brother, stealing food and money from passersby with little trouble thanks to prior teachings. This was until the two met [[Lady Radialy|Lady Radialy]] on a chance meeting; sensing a curse forming within the abandoned rubble of the old district, Lady Radialy came to investigate and found the two siblings highly defensive of her visit. Instead of ignoring their plight, she offered to take them in and mentor them until they were ready to go off on their own, as their mutual distaste for the Guild became apparent in their small encounter. Without much room to turn, they accepted her salvation. Odin stayed with Lady Radialy until she turned eighteen, and despite the influence of her older brother and new guardian, Odin went and applied for the Adventurers' Guild. As much as Odin despised the idea of working for the governing entity who turned her life around for the worst, she vowed to upturn the poisoned side of the Guild and leak their secrets that the public deserves to know. She had originally intended to join the Civil Affairs Division in hopes of changing everything from the inside, but as she learned about the Adventurers' Guild within its curriculum, she realized how small she was in the grandeur of the Guild. Instead, she finalizes her education through the Guild and joins the [[The Wayfarers' Division|Wayfarers' Division]].

The idea for becoming a wayfarer stemmed from the enticing promise of hard work being rewarded with high rewards. This quickly caused her to overwork herself early into her career at the Guild. The monetary rewards were not nearly as high as she expected, and without properly budgeting for this, she quickly spent all of her money on caring for the orphaned children in her sector and alcohol. In one of her drunken bouts of depression at the [[Ginkgo Tree]], she meets a woman by the name of [[Raelynn Aquamor|Raelynn Aquamor]]--another wayfarer unsatisfied with her progress within the division. Somehow, and Odin is quite unsure how it happened still to this day, the two agreed to partner up and begin accepting quests together. While Rae scored the opportunity for assistance in searching for ancient weapons to add to her collection, Odin pocketed most of the money from their journeys. The two had a fairly amicable relationship as wayfarers, even gaining reputation as a formidable duo. Eventually higher-ups from the Hearth management approached them to offer promotions to different divisions, and including Guild-hosted lodgings in the package. They both accepted, calling off their wayfaring partnership of three years.

Odin's new position in the Outerworld Division proved the perfect fit for her adamant personality. She performed outstandingly on her first excursions, becoming a stable pillar of her Law bubble squadron even as a rookie. Eventually, her performance saw her fit to become the next Captain of her squadron at the untimely demise of her prior one. Without much room to decline, she equipped the provided mantle and became an inspiration for all excursion squadron members across the Outerworld Division.

== Contributions ==
While Odin avoids contributing anything major to the Guild, it is difficult to argue that she isn’t one of the most renowned Outerworld captains. She isn’t the longest-running captain the Guild has ever had, but for her young age, her efforts are acknowledged very highly. She takes a lot of pride in this title and position, fully dedicating her work hours to perfecting her squadron.

Her primary focus, however, is extorting the Guild’s high pay to fund the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]]. It aims to rebuild a burned-down sector of Eversun City from the ground up without alerting the Civil Affairs officers or the Guild itself. The project is growing rapidly and she has allowed many of her Guild connections to contribute to the project. She co-founded and co-manages the Project with Korin, and together, they've rebuilt most of the residential area, run an orphanage with about 25 children, opened the [[Morning Roost|Morning Roost]], and have been organizing mini holiday festivals for the area to feel like they can live their lives normally.

== Abilities ==
Odin has managed to control the Law corruption in her favor combat-wise, but she rarely uses it. She is able to physically manifest her natural and corrupted aether combined into an aetheric familiar in the appearance of a raven. This raven can dissipate and reappear in another location within close proximity and act as a second pair of eyes, transmitting the information and images to her blind eye. The raven can last up to five minutes, but the more information Odin receives from the raven, the more physical fatigue arrives with it. The overload of information and witnessing two different "present-times" can be incredibly overstimulating, but helpful where needed.

The amount of sheer physical strength Odin displays assisted her in rising to the ranks of a squadron captain. Her weapon, lovingly named ''Guillotine'', weighs around 20lbs/9kg of solid steel and is aetherically enhanced to react better to sudden change of momentum.

== Valuables ==

=== Engraved Pocket Watch ===

* A gold-plated pocket watch that still functions. There is an engraving on its cover of a feather, which was then incorporated into the [[Morning Roost]]'s business logo. It used to belong to Micaiah and was gifted to Odin on her 8th birthday as an introduction into responsibility. Odin carries it everywhere, and its chain is typically attached to the inside of her coat. If she's not wearing her coat, it's tucked away in a pocket or bag.
** ''"My most precious treasure. I know our time was short together, but I am grateful every day for her care."''

=== Feather Earrings ===

* A gift from Korin for her 16th birthday. She has other pairs of earrings, but the dangly silver feather-shaped earrings are her go-to for any outfit. She's taken great care of them, even going as far as to pay for aetheric enchantment so the silver does not deteriorate.
** ''"I remember the days I kept eyeing these earrings in this specific shop we passed by frequently. I never verbally said I wanted them, but I guess he noticed my interest. It was a nice surprise."''

=== Childhood Photo ===

* A very blurry printed photo of Odin and Korin amidst an argument. The photo is dated on their "shared" birthday, ''Nova 31, 1209'', right in between their own birthdates. It is tucked away deep into her wallet, where it cannot fall out or be questioned by others. This is one of two photos Micaiah took of the kids after she realized they weren't going anywhere.
** ''"Auntie was gifted a camera that year, so she tested it on us. She got really angry that we weren't cooperating, but I'm still really fond of this photo. I don't know what I'd do without it."''

=== Guillotine ===

* Odin's greatsword. She commissioned its creation based off of schematics designed in tandem with Raelynn. Despite its weight, it is aetherically enchanted to assist with swifter movements and higher control under constant momentum. It weighs 10lbs/4.5kg of solid steel with a gold-plated guard and hilt, emerald gemstone in the center of its wing-shaped guard, and the blade is wrapped sparsely in some of her bandages. She requires a weapon sling across her body to carry it around.
** ''"My pride and joy! People make fun of me for naming it, but honestly, they're just jealous. It's beautifully crafted and I get compliments from smithies all the time."''

=== Bandage Spool ===

* A special roll of gypsum gauze bandages that she uses to wrap her right eye, shoulder, and neck area. These are dressed with special salves, received as a prescription from the Contingency Division. In addition to the supplements she's required to consume, the salve in the gauze assists in slowing the spread of her Law corruption and its physical side effects and symptoms.
** ''"Every morning I have to reapply a fresh layer of these bandages. I hate looking at myself in the mirror when I do. I hope no one ever gets to see what I look like underneath them."''

=== Miscellaneous Trinkets ===
These include her other items any other person would have: cigarettes, lighter, house keys, wallet, spare coins, service receipts, or small objects the orphans at the Valhalla Project grounds gifted her for no reason.

== Trivia ==

* '''Voice Claim''': Blemishine/Maria, Arknights (Ola Forman) ''[https://youtu.be/xFVU3hMo3Yw <nowiki>[Listen here!]</nowiki>]''
* High alcohol tolerance - can likely drink three bottles of tequila alone and not feel much, if anything.
* Despite being a high-ranking officer in the division that pays the best, she is still very poor, as she budgets as much money to her makeshift orphan community.
* Odin is blind in her right eye, and has never shown anyone what lies beneath the bandages.
** What actually lies underneath is blackened, scarred skin due to her Law corruption, which started at about age 22. It's spreading quite quick. Her right eye has lost all pigment.
* She loves wearing cutesy outfits for casual wear.
* She has an excellent diet and a high-force exercise routine.
* Her hobbies include exercise, gardening, and reading fantasy-romance novels.
* Feathers shed from her wings and tail more often due to Law corruption, and are now turning white.
* Due to lack of Featherfolk family when growing up, Odin never actually learned how to fly, and still struggles with keeping herself off the ground.
* No one will ever see hear wear clothing that reveals her arms. Long-sleeves only.

'''''Korin Altair''''' is a Lesser wolf [[Races#Kindred|Kindred]] native to [[Eversun City|Eversun City]]. He works for '''[[Mirage]]''' as an intelligence relay as a means to keep the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]], an under-the-table orphanage in the slums of Eversun City, afloat with his [[Odin|adoptive sister]].

== Appearance ==
A rather tall wolf Kindred with messy, chin-length purple hair he keeps hidden beneath a black beanie hat. The beanie has holes for his ears to pop out of. He has striking sunset-amber eyes that always look disinterested and tired, and has a scar starting from the bridge of his nose running down his left cheek.

Korin wears a black collared dress shirt beneath a purple-grey furred coat he wears over his shoulders. He's never seen actually wearing the coat by its sleeves. He also wears brown leather gloves, a brown leather belt with a silver buckle, and blue baggy pants with pockets on the side of his mid-thighs. A one-handed broadsword rests on his left side, without a sheath, embedded with a gem in the pommel for basic spellweaving enhancements to the blade.

A purple muffler never leaves his neck. There are maybe only two instances where he'd part ways with it, but for now, those instances remain unspoken of.

== Personality ==
Growing up in poverty desensitized Korin to a lot of feelings. He is usually seen with a straight, serious, or tired expression and speaks with a low tone. Most people read his expression as disinterest or exhaustion with the conversation, but he does enjoy speaking to people—he has quite the amicable personality and charisma to squeeze his way into getting what he wants.

Korin is graced with quick wits and a fast tongue; if he needs to slip away from a situation, he can typically do so unnoticed, and when faced with a difficult conversation, his silver words can excuse him from speaking further. He is sly, agile, and a physical menace in addition to his wits. One of his favorite activities is exchanging rude and sarcastic quips with others who will fight back, or get frustrated at his words (particularly Odin).

When it comes to protecting the people who matter most to him, Korin would sacrifice anything to see it through. He strictly believes ends justify the means, and often gets into trouble for these ideals. It has never stopped him, and continues to propel his ideals forward.

In reality, Korin is heavily depressed and remains under his own self-imposed impression that once the Valhalla Project is completed and he loses his family, he will be no longer needed in his companions' lives and will escape far away from Eversun City to live in probable solitude. As of now, no one knows of this ideal, and plans to never reveal it.

== Biography ==
Korin was born in the slums of the northwestern sector of Eversun City to Charlotte and Caden Altair, a pair of wolf Kindred from northern territories. He was actually quite coddled by his parents, being nothing but sweet to their only child. Despite this, most of his young life was spent stealing from tourists and travelers when they least expected it, selling odd trinkets and valuables for money, and using the rotten income to survive. He avoided accepting charity and attempted to gain what he needs himself. When in an excess, he’d donate food to the other starving children growing up around him.

In 1206, Korin's parents contracted a mysterious fatal illness and passed away. Knowing that [[Micaiah Finch]], a prolific leader and role model in the sector, had recently taken an extremely young [[Odin Finch|Featherfolk girl]] recently, he forced his way into their "family" as his only option to keep a roof over his head. While Micaiah was not particularly happy about this new addition, she wouldn't turn away helping anyone, especially not a child who needed so much assistance. He lived with the two for the rest of his childhood, up until his adolescence. Micaiah attempted to re-enroll him into public school, but he was unwilling to comply, and thus stopped his education at nine years of age. He taught Odin, his newfound younger sister, tips and tricks on stealing from others without being noticed in exchange for her own classroom lessons. He'd still run around the other districts and steal from people who are well-off, bringing back trinkets to sell or offer to his family without a word, but would often get scolded for it. He may not have been able to show it properly, but he was grateful to his newfound family.

There came a day in 1209 where a fire broke out in Korin's home sector, when he was fifteen years old. Due to the laziness of the Civil Affairs guards stationed to keep an eye on this sector, the fire quickly grew out of hand. There were no spellweavers versed in water aether close by to assist with the fire, and eventually, over 80% of the already-deteriorating houses in the sector burned to the ground. Many more children were left without parents, and worse for Korin and Odin, they had lost Micaiah in the blaze. This wasn't without receiving her signature muffler from her, indicating her trust and hopes for him. He remembers her final request being to bring Odin away from the destruction and make sure the two stick together, as he’d be the only one responsible to keep her safe from then on. After the destruction, the Guild insisted there was an investigation conducted, but there turned up no results of it being purposeful.

From then on, Korin and Odin spent their teen years wandering Eversun, stealing food and money from passersby with little trouble. This was until the two met [[Lady Radialy|Lady Radialy]] on a chance meeting; sensing a curse forming within the abandoned rubble of the old district, she came to investigate and found the two teens highly defensive of her visit. Instead of ignoring their plight, she offered to take them in and mentor them until they were ready to go off on their own, as their mutual distaste for the Guild became apparent in their small encounter. Without much room to turn, they accepted her salvation.

Much later, Korin watched Odin apply to the Guild to infiltrate its ranks and bring justice from the inside, but the thought of employing his own efforts to the body that failed him sickened him. Instead, once Odin was registered under the Guild and was certain she’d be safe, he began wandering on his own to find the cause of the fire. His investigations turned up nothing, and he quickly grew demotivated and tired of chasing a false trail.

At age 24, Korin was approached by a 20-year-old Odin with the determined offer of rebuilding their home sector and using her high salary to kickstart the project. He did not hesitate to accept and begin the blueprints to the plan, and the project has been underway ever since. This began the foundation of the Valhalla Project as an idea to provide solace and sanctuary to the victims of the fire from years ago that are still suffering.

The start of the Valhalla Project spurred Korin in the direction of joining the ranks of '''[[Mirage]]''' as he refused to join the ranks of the Guild. During a break within his home sector, he was discovered by [[Quill]], Mirage's leader. She was visibly impressed by the dedication and work he was putting into the project, but deemed it dangerous and bound to be discovered. She promised to help the project remain hidden, away from the Guild's eye, and provide resources to assist if he simply joined her ranks. Unable to decline, he became [[Pact|pacted]] to Quill and offered himself as an intelligence relay to Mirage. He now currently roams Castrella for information, jobs, and any resources he can get his hands on in order to contribute to the project. While Korin’s time is mostly spent away from Eversun City, he ensures visits every week to assist and give the orphaned children an opportunity for education, reading to them and assisting them in how to do so.

== Valuables ==

=== Purple Muffler ===

* A large, purple, fleece scarf gifted by Micaiah prior to her disappearance into the fire of 1209. He is rarely ever seen without it in public, only taking it off behind closed doors. He gets quite sensitive if someone tries to touch or take it.
** ''"Mic gifting me this muffler has put me in a bothersome position. I feel like I'm now the one responsible to look after people in her place. Thanks, Mic."''

=== Childhood Photo ===

* A pristine photo of Korin and Odin dated on their "shared" birthday, Nova 31, 1209, right in between their own birthdates. Odin is hugging Korin's arm with a bright smile, and Korin holds up a peace sign with a nervous smile. He keeps this photo tucked away into his wallet and has never shown anyone this photo.
** ''"...She has a much shorter lifespan than I do."''

=== Adventurers' Guild Items ===

* Korin owns a blue armband from the Wayfarers' Division. It used to belong to Odin prior to her transfer to the [[Outerworld Division]]. Korin wears it when he infiltrates the Hearth walls as to nor stir up attention to his presence. As far as everyone is concerned, he is a Wayfarer. He owns a forged identification card as well, and uses it to access certain parts of the Archivist Grand Library where needed.
** ''"Unfortunately, the Hearth is like, the only place I can't break in unnoticed."''

=== Aetheric Steel Broadsword ===

* A weapon designed to act as a conduit for aetheric enhancements. Korin is not particularly well-attuned to magic and spellweaving—the installment of a blue gemstone ripped from the Wayfarers' Division armband onto the blade's pommel assists with elemental enhancements to the blade. As of right now, he can only enhance the blade with his two aspects very poorly: light and fire. He avoids using fire. He has no sheath for it.
** ''"It gets the job done. Kind of still get a headache when I try to use magic, though."''

== Trivia ==

* '''Voice Claim''': Shinjiro Aragaki, Persona 3 Reload (Justice Slocum) [https://youtu.be/I7OWkHG_7oU?t=61 ''<nowiki>[Listen here!]</nowiki>'']
* Thanks to the events of 1209, Korin suffers from pyrophobia.
* Has a bottomless stomach for meat and alcohol, and gets a little rowdy when drinking.
* Secretly enjoys his tail and ears being fluffed and scratched. He will not admit it.
* No one except Odin and his teammates know that he is a part of Mirage.
* He does not like sweets, and quite enjoys bitter food.
* His mentality is permanently caught up in the past, mostly attached to the promise he made to Micaiah before her death. Because of this, he holds no regards to the future, and is highly depressed.
* The purple muffler he is never seen without is Micaiah's muffler. Seriously—do not separate them!
* Korin has a forged Adventurers' Guild ID card with his photo on it. Odin gave him her old Wayfarer's Division armband as well, so he has full access to the basic levels of the Hearth.
* Ironically, his favorite color is ''not'' purple, it's just his hair color and Micaiah's muffler. If asked, he doesn't have a favorite color. Maybe blue? It reminds him of family.
* Thanks to his upbringing, he's not ''that'' educated; he can read at a basic fundamental level, and can speak really well, but cannot decipher complicated passages without prior context.

}}'''''Odin Finch''''' is a Corvid [[Races#Featherfolk|Featherfolk]] native to [[Eversun City|Eversun City]] currently working in the [[The Outerworld Division|Outerworld Division]] as a squadron captain. She utilizes this high income to host the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]], an under-the-table reconstruction project in the northwestern slums of Eversun with her [[Korin|adoptive brother]].

== Appearance ==
Odin, in Featherfolk standards, is an average-height woman with fair skin and freckles all over her body. She has lime green eyes that seem distant and deep, barely ever reflecting light properly. After the incident which caused her Law corruption, she lost vision in her right eye, changing its color to an iridescent white. Her skin from her right eye to her right elbow is blackened with corruption scars, and she uses aether-enhanced bandages to stunt the corruption growth and cover what she deems as “ugly.” Odin’s natural hair color is a deep midnight blue, but she frequently dyes her hair a pink-red color. When she doesn’t bleach her hair to apply the dye, her natural hair color comes through past the dye.

Odin’s typical outfit is a black collared dress shirt tied at the collar with a blue ribbon. A dark grey-blue overcoat covers most of it, buttoned up specifically to hide her body shape. It has white fur lining, gold accents, and darker blue belts on the sleeve cuffs and waist. A brown leather weapon sling crosses her body from her right shoulder and holds her trusty greatsword, affectionately named “Guillotine.” She wears dark grey leggings underneath the coat and brown calf-length boots. She is also always seen wearing a ribbon in her hair that matches the color of her outfit, typically a cerulean blue. She also often wears red eye makeup.

Prominent Featherfolk features of hers include dark purple-black wings and a bird’s tail. While Odin doesn’t typically stretch her wings outside of exercise, her wingspan rests at 230cm (~8’7”).

== Personality ==
Odin is a fairly carefree woman, often riding the current atmosphere and answering accordingly. She adapts well to shifting conditions both in mood and combat, and does attempt to act friendly towards most people. She doesn't initiate conversation particularly herself, but will chime in when asked to or if she thinks her ideas are important to contribute. Many individuals who simply pass by her will comment on how difficult it is to pinpoint what type of person she truly is, and of course, rumors spread like wildfire within the Hearth walls. Odin claims she does not have her own personality.

To her squadron, Odin is determined, loyal, and commandeering. She is not afraid to intervene when a rookie or seasoned veteran is failing, and disciplines her squadron in various ways that are not demeaning. Other squadrons audibly recount their wishes to have Odin as their captain, to which she compliments the other squadrons' captains and assures their regimens are just as important. Staffing outside of the division, however, fear Odin and have only heard of how fearsome she is on the battlefield.

== Biography ==
Odin's story starts as an orphaned Featherfolk who was kidnapped by a band of mercenaries and then rescued by a wayfaring woman named [[Micaiah Finch]]. Micaiah returned to Eversun City and took Odin in as a foster where she lived: the northwestern sector of Eversun City, notorious for hosting the poorer and impoverished residents of the City.

The [[The Civil Affairs Division|Civil Affairs Division]] of Eversun City is supposed to be the pillar of protection and safety for the capital. Unfortunately, the guards particularly assigned to Odin's sector were cruel and punishing. They would ignore their given instructions and provide little to no support to the area, when the residents barely generated enough income to keep a roof over their heads. Micaiah was slightly better off than most of the residents in this sector, but she devoted a lot of time, effort, and money to acting as the community leader for this sector as well as working for the Adventurers' Guild in the [[Archivist Division|Archivist Division]]. While Micaiah worked her Guild shifts, Odin attended public school starting at five years old.

Because of Micaiah's frequent absence and very laid-back attitude, Odin spent her younger years as a very ornery crybaby. She'd often demand more time with Micaiah, or better meals, or more gifts... requests along those lines. She didn't have many friends even in school, but that drastically changed when she suddenly gained another family member.

in 1206, a Lesser wolf Kindred by the name of '''[[Korin]]''' showed up at their doorstep. His parents had recently passed from unknown reasons; at his age, he understood that Micaiah acted as a step-in leader for the community and returned to her for assistance. Thus, Korin became Micaiah's second foster alongside Odin. Odin then spent most of her free time teaching Korin the subjects she'd learn in her school classes, since he had stopped attending public school. In exchange, Korin would pull Odin out of the house and dispel her loneliness, teaching her how to navigate the streets better, steal from the rich who don't need their pocketbooks, and show all the routes to take to avoid guards. Eventually, Odin turned into a little thief alongside her brother-figure, taking trinkets to sell on the market or outright wallets from people's pockets. This infuriated Micaiah, but she didn't actively attempt to teach them otherwise due to her busy schedule. The two became inseparable family and always had ''something'' occurring, whether it was thieving, teaching, playing games, or bickering with each other like real siblings.

There came a night in 1209, a few months after her birthday, where a fire broke out in Odin's home sector, when she was eight years old. Due to the laziness of the Civil Affairs guards stationed to keep an eye on this sector, the fire quickly grew out of hand. There were no spellweavers versed in water aether close by to assist with the fire, and eventually, over 80% of the already-deteriorating houses in the sector burned to the ground. Many more children were left without parents, and worse for Odin, she had lost Micaiah in the blaze. Her final moments with Micaiah were spent kicking and screaming, being pulled away by Korin to safety by Micaiah's last request. Micaiah, as a parting gift, entrusted Odin with her pocket watch to keep a memory of her. With Odin's and Korin's home now burned to ashes after that night, the two were left to wander the streets of Eversun City with only a single goal in mind: survive.

Odin spent her adolescence wandering Eversun City with her older brother, stealing food and money from passersby with little trouble thanks to prior teachings. This was until the two met [[Lady Radialy|Lady Radialy]] on a chance meeting; sensing a curse forming within the abandoned rubble of the old district, Lady Radialy came to investigate and found the two siblings highly defensive of her visit. Instead of ignoring their plight, she offered to take them in and mentor them until they were ready to go off on their own, as their mutual distaste for the Guild became apparent in their small encounter. Without much room to turn, they accepted her salvation. Odin stayed with Lady Radialy until she turned eighteen, and despite the influence of her older brother and new guardian, Odin went and applied for the Adventurers' Guild. As much as Odin despised the idea of working for the governing entity who turned her life around for the worst, she vowed to upturn the poisoned side of the Guild and leak their secrets that the public deserves to know. She had originally intended to join the Civil Affairs Division in hopes of changing everything from the inside, but as she learned about the Adventurers' Guild within its curriculum, she realized how small she was in the grandeur of the Guild. Instead, she finalizes her education through the Guild and joins the [[The Wayfarers' Division|Wayfarers' Division]].

The idea for becoming a wayfarer stemmed from the enticing promise of hard work being rewarded with high rewards. This quickly caused her to overwork herself early into her career at the Guild. The monetary rewards were not nearly as high as she expected, and without properly budgeting for this, she quickly spent all of her money on caring for the orphaned children in her sector and alcohol. In one of her drunken bouts of depression at the [[Ginkgo Tree]], she meets a woman by the name of [[Raelynn Aquamor|Raelynn Aquamor]]--another wayfarer unsatisfied with her progress within the division. Somehow, and Odin is quite unsure how it happened still to this day, the two agreed to partner up and begin accepting quests together. While Rae scored the opportunity for assistance in searching for ancient weapons to add to her collection, Odin pocketed most of the money from their journeys. The two had a fairly amicable relationship as wayfarers, even gaining reputation as a formidable duo. Eventually higher-ups from the Hearth management approached them to offer promotions to different divisions, and including Guild-hosted lodgings in the package. They both accepted, calling off their wayfaring partnership of three years.

Odin's new position in the Outerworld Division proved the perfect fit for her adamant personality. She performed outstandingly on her first excursions, becoming a stable pillar of her Law bubble squadron even as a rookie. Eventually, her performance saw her fit to become the next Captain of her squadron at the untimely demise of her prior one. Without much room to decline, she equipped the provided mantle and became an inspiration for all excursion squadron members across the Outerworld Division.

== Contributions ==
While Odin avoids contributing anything major to the Guild, it is difficult to argue that she isn’t one of the most renowned Outerworld captains. She isn’t the longest-running captain the Guild has ever had, but for her young age, her efforts are acknowledged very highly. She takes a lot of pride in this title and position, fully dedicating her work hours to perfecting her squadron.

Her primary focus, however, is extorting the Guild’s high pay to fund the [[Valhalla Project|Valhalla Project]]. It aims to rebuild a burned-down sector of Eversun City from the ground up without alerting the Civil Affairs officers or the Guild itself. The project is growing rapidly and she has allowed many of her Guild connections to contribute to the project. She co-founded and co-manages the Project with Korin, and together, they've rebuilt most of the residential area, run an orphanage with about 25 children, opened the [[Morning Roost|Morning Roost]], and have been organizing mini holiday festivals for the area to feel like they can live their lives normally.

== Abilities ==
Odin has managed to control the Law corruption in her favor combat-wise, but she rarely uses it. She is able to physically manifest her natural and corrupted aether combined into an aetheric familiar in the appearance of a raven. This raven can dissipate and reappear in another location within close proximity and act as a second pair of eyes, transmitting the information and images to her blind eye. The raven can last up to five minutes, but the more information Odin receives from the raven, the more physical fatigue arrives with it. The overload of information and witnessing two different "present-times" can be incredibly overstimulating, but helpful where needed.

The amount of sheer physical strength Odin displays assisted her in rising to the ranks of a squadron captain. Her weapon, lovingly named ''Guillotine'', weighs around 20lbs/9kg of solid steel and is aetherically enhanced to react better to sudden change of momentum.

== Valuables ==

=== Engraved Pocket Watch ===

* A gold-plated pocket watch that still functions. There is an engraving on its cover of a feather, which was then incorporated into the [[Morning Roost]]'s business logo. It used to belong to Micaiah and was gifted to Odin on her 8th birthday as an introduction into responsibility. Odin carries it everywhere, and its chain is typically attached to the inside of her coat. If she's not wearing her coat, it's tucked away in a pocket or bag.
** ''"My most precious treasure. I know our time was short together, but I am grateful every day for her care."''

=== Feather Earrings ===

* A gift from Korin for her 16th birthday. She has other pairs of earrings, but the dangly silver feather-shaped earrings are her go-to for any outfit. She's taken great care of them, even going as far as to pay for aetheric enchantment so the silver does not deteriorate.
** ''"I remember the days I kept eyeing these earrings in this specific shop we passed by frequently. I never verbally said I wanted them, but I guess he noticed my interest. It was a nice surprise."''

=== Childhood Photo ===

* A very blurry printed photo of Odin and Korin amidst an argument. The photo is dated on their "shared" birthday, ''Nova 31, 1209'', right in between their own birthdates. It is tucked away deep into her wallet, where it cannot fall out or be questioned by others. This is one of two photos Micaiah took of the kids after she realized they weren't going anywhere.
** ''"Auntie was gifted a camera that year, so she tested it on us. She got really angry that we weren't cooperating, but I'm still really fond of this photo. I don't know what I'd do without it."''

=== Guillotine ===

* Odin's greatsword. She commissioned its creation based off of schematics designed in tandem with Raelynn. Despite its weight, it is aetherically enchanted to assist with swifter movements and higher control under constant momentum. It weighs 10lbs/4.5kg of solid steel with a gold-plated guard and hilt, emerald gemstone in the center of its wing-shaped guard, and the blade is wrapped sparsely in some of her bandages. She requires a weapon sling across her body to carry it around.
** ''"My pride and joy! People make fun of me for naming it, but honestly, they're just jealous. It's beautifully crafted and I get compliments from smithies all the time."''

=== Bandage Spool ===

* A special roll of gypsum gauze bandages that she uses to wrap her right eye, shoulder, and neck area. These are dressed with special salves, received as a prescription from the Contingency Division. In addition to the supplements she's required to consume, the salve in the gauze assists in slowing the spread of her Law corruption and its physical side effects and symptoms.
** ''"Every morning I have to reapply a fresh layer of these bandages. I hate looking at myself in the mirror when I do. I hope no one ever gets to see what I look like underneath them."''

=== Miscellaneous Trinkets ===
These include her other items any other person would have: cigarettes, lighter, house keys, wallet, spare coins, service receipts, or small objects the orphans at the Valhalla Project grounds gifted her for no reason.

== Relationships ==

== Trivia ==

* '''Voice Claim''': Blemishine/Maria, Arknights (Ola Forman) ''[https://youtu.be/xFVU3hMo3Yw <nowiki>[Listen here!]</nowiki>]''
* High alcohol tolerance - can likely drink three bottles of tequila alone and not feel much, if anything.
* Despite being a high-ranking officer in the division that pays the best, she is still very poor, as she budgets as much money to her makeshift orphan community.
* Odin is blind in her right eye, and has never shown anyone what lies beneath the bandages.
** What actually lies underneath is blackened, scarred skin due to her Law corruption, which started at about age 22. It's spreading quite quick. Her right eye has lost all pigment.
* She loves wearing cutesy outfits for casual wear.
* She has an excellent diet and a high-force exercise routine.
* Her hobbies include exercise, gardening, and reading fantasy-romance novels.
* Feathers shed from her wings and tail more often due to Law corruption, and are now turning white.
* Due to lack of Featherfolk family when growing up, Odin never actually learned how to fly, and still struggles with keeping herself off the ground.
* No one will ever see hear wear clothing that reveals her arms. Long-sleeves only.

}}'''''Lumenaster Valoan,''''' or '''''Lumen''''' for short''''',''''' is a light-aspected [[Races#Dragons|Dragon]] in charge of the [[Archivist Division]] of the Adventurers’ Guild.

== Appearance ==
Lumen is a rather tall, slender humanoid Dragon. The size of his broad wings—always folded—and long, thick tail outline him as bigger than his frame lets on. Blond hair falls down to his mid-back, fashioned into a thin ponytail often with a pink hair tie. His horns are curled like a stag’s or tree branches, an earthy-yellow tone painting his Dragon features in a beautiful contrast against his pale skin. His eyes are a sharp yellow behind glasses, almost unnatural, and his ears are large and pointed. Unlike an Elvaari’s ears, his are much flatter and pointed downwards. Green robes and a scarf adorn Lumen’s body reminiscent of a tactician. He almost always has a book in his possession.

== Personality ==
Lumen is, first and foremost, a tactician.

He is a Dragon who views everything with a logical lens and an inquiring eye. Sometimes he weaves his words into elaborate musings that do not make much sense, and other times his responses are short and succinct. He is calculating and observant, abel to remember small details other may not. His one weakness is detecting subtleties in others’ speeches, often missing on sarcasm and body habits that might show emotions opposite of spoken word. Despite that, he can joke around rather well.

Lumen is kind and considerate, acting as a counselor to most of his compatriots in the [[The Hearth|Hearth]]. Quite paternal at heart for the younger Adventurers, his love and care is shown most when around who could be considered as close to a daughter as possible, [[Eleanor Valentine]]. She has done wonders in opening him up into how he presents himself nowadays, often sporting accessories made by her hands.

The lengths of his knowledge stretch as the continent of Solaurum and into the skies, and people often go to him to confirm myths and legends of eld. He may have been alive when they were written, after all. If you don’t know something about anything, Lumen may be your best resource to reach out to.

== Records ==
Lumenaster's full name remains "lost to time," choosing to separate his full first name into what the Adventurers' Guild records as '''Lumenaria Aster''', or Lumen for ease. As the Headmaster of the Archivist Division, he oversees a lot of clerical processes within the Hearth walls and remains in charge of archiving and organizing every bit of information that breaches his sight. The light Dragon is a cunning and observant tactician, viewing many situations with a logical lens and an inquiring eye.

He is presumably 6000+ years old, as he has stopped tracking his age long ago. The public understands his position as one of the founders of the old Adventurers' Guild prior to its failure. When the new Adventurers' Guild established in calendar year 1, he was offered the position of Guildmaster. Lumen humbly declined the position as he did not want to desecrate his old friend's name as the Guildmaster before, and instead opted to become an advisor to the new face. Now he spends his days watching the Guild grow like a proud father, learning all about his Adventurers and providing as much support as possible to the ones who seek him out.

He hails from [[Lyrrh al Stahl]], as do most Dragons. However, he did not fall from the skies—he flew down of his own volition, etching himself in recorded history as the first Dragon to ever do so. He provided a lot of the information the Guild has now about the city in the sky, yet there is no explanation aside from his meticulous studies across all topics regarding Solaurum that backs his immense amount of knowledge. He may just be the ultimate bookworm. Or maybe he’s traveled the world and scribed as much information as he could himself. Whatever the rumor may be, he’ll simply laugh it off with a gentle smile.

== Trivia ==

* Lumen is not under the Dragon’s curse of a single aspect, but he just chooses not to learn another.
* He has the ability to transform into a real dragon, mimicking the real-world’s Eastern dragons’ design.
* He loves pastries.
* You can tell him your name once and he’ll remember it.
* He relies on his sense of smell like a hound to recognize certain aspects of people and environments.

Sundance

2025-12-14T00:17:43Z

Chickadee: Added Gallery tab

{{SubpageNavigation|1 Link Name=Gallery|1 Link Target=Sundance/Gallery}}

'''''Sundance''''' is an annual festival commemorating bonds, new and old, and the value they hold in someone's life. It is formally observed on the entirety of [[Castrella]] on Whisper 34, the final day of the calendar year, when the donut-shaped moon eclipses the sun and casts a radiant beam of light down into the center of Solaurum, directly over [[Eversun City]], known as the ''Light of Guidance''. It is very common for people from all territories to travel to Eversun City for this holiday, and the City receives the most amount of traffic and tourism during this season.

== Legend ==
The most common iteration of the legend behind Sundance tells of two goddesses, one resting on the sun and one resting on the moon, who are separated the entire year from each other until the 365th day of the year, where the moon eclipses the sun. This is the only time they may see one another, and indulge in these 24 hours together to engage in a beautiful dance until they inevitably part ways once more, whispering tales of the journeys they've experienced around the world the prior year. There are many visual depictions of these two goddess that vary depending on the territory and culture spinning the tales, and of course, there will be some discrepancies in the legend itself because of it. However, Sundance's legend is one of the most commonly agreed upon story from all regions, comparing to other holidays.

The sun goddess and the moon goddess can be considered both a tragic tale and a hopeful tale. They are representative of all bonds between individuals, proving that despite distance, if you truly love someone—platonic or romantic—your bonds will never shatter.

== Traditions ==
Sundance as a holiday may only be observed formally for a single day, however, that does not stop the festivities from starting early. Many municipalities, such as Eversun City, begin hosting festivities and age-old traditions from the very start of Whisper. The traditions of Sundance are widely known throughout the entire planet of Castrella, and it would be highly difficult to find an individual who does not understand how to participate in this holiday. There are quite a few traditions stacked in this holiday.

=== Dance of Bonds ===
As the name of the holiday implies, the most common and important tradition partaken in Sundance is the ''Dance of Bonds''. Beneath the ''Light of Guidance'', if one dances during the moment the clock rolls over into the new calendar year, good omens will come to you. The good omens are entirely based on personal values; if a family values monetary wealth, their good omen passed down may be to carry good fortune. If a couple values the love within their relationship, their good omen passed down may be to never shatter those chains in the coming years. There are several different types of dances for different types of bonds, with very little variation between cultures. The most common iteration of the set of dances is the ''Eversun Standard Waltz''.

* '''Friends and Groups''' — For purely platonic friendships, a very easy and simple round dance adjusted for two or many participants is commonplace in Eversun City's [[Theater District]].
* '''Family''' '''Members''' — A fun variant of a samba, the dance used for celebrating all types of family relationships is upbeat and cheerful. This is not purely reserved for blood family.
* '''Romantic Relationships''' — A ballroom dance reserved for intimate relationships. A slower-paced and gentle dance that is used to tell your partner(s) of your devotion to them.

As a general reminder, there is no ill omen for spending Sundance alone or outside of a dance.

=== Wish Tags ===
In a real-world [[wikipedia:Tanabata|Tanabata]]-style mirror, people can gift ''"wishes"'' to one another in the form of little tags (similar to ''tanzaku''). The color of the tags based on stages of sunlight determines how the giver sees their and the receiver's relationship. The tags always have star, sun, and moon decorations with the wish written on the main body of the tag.

* '''Daytime''' — A yellow and blue gradient tag reserved for '''lovers'''. The daytime colors represent the dawning warmth of the sun and romantic love.
* '''Dusk''' — A purple and deep blue gradient tag reserved for '''family'''. The dusk colors represent the inevitable return of the night and the ability to always return to family at the end of the day.
* '''Nighttime''' — A silver and gold gradient tag reserved for '''friends'''. The moonlight colors represent the moon accompanied by a countless sea of stars, reminding of the countless bonds and friends made along through the journey of life.
* '''Dawn''' — An orange and yellow gradient tag reserved for '''new bonds'''. The sunrise colors represents a new dawn, a new day, a new friend made.

Whenever the receiver is allowed to read the wishes gifted to them is up to the giver. It can be as simple as ''"read this when the year changes"'' or it can be as complicated as ''"read this when you're feeling lonely over a dinner table.''"

=== Weather Prediction ===
Weather forecasters will announce every beginning of the month of Whisper whether Sundance is "led by the moon" or "led by the sun." If the dance is led by the moon, the year will be colder than average. If the dance is led by the sun, the year will be warmer than average. Whether this is true or not is up to interpretation!

=== Dress Code ===
People can wear any formal outfits that take from the theme of the moon (blue/purple/silver) or the sun (orange/gold/red). When participating in the festival hosted by Eversun City's Theater District every year, you might be the odd one out in the sea of visitors. It's also commonplace to wear a lot of jewelry to have the jingling sound of metal resound while dancing. Often times, couples will match in opposite themes (one in moon-themed clothing, one in sun-themed clothing) to honor the goddesses.

== Real-World Dates ==
This section is reserved for real-world event windows for documentation.

Chickadee: Added Gourdfest participation

An overview of Korin's participation throughout various events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]'s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.

== Phoenix Fest 1230 ==
Korin's contributions to Phoenix Festival remained within the borders of the [[Valhalla Project]] district area. Together with his sister, [[Odin Finch]], the two hosted the biggest miniature festival within Harper Park to celebrate the holiday and closing of summer with the project's orphans. They utilized their connections inside and outside of the Adventurers' Guild to ensure everything flowed smoothly, and hosted the event over the course of three nights despite his incredibly disabling pyrophobia. In the end, the Valhalla Project Mini-Festival had almost 50 attendees including the children. At the end of the night, each attendee and contributor walked away with a beautiful handmade dreamcatcher the orphans helped in crafting.

Korin assisted in the subjugation of [[Loco Motion]], the trainsportation unit brought to life by [[Lil' Red]], alongside [[Zapalka]]. He detained the latter villain, and turned her into the Guild. Despite this being one of the first big public operation under the [[Mirage]] name, he tried to stay out of view of people he knew in order to hide his affiliation.

== Gourdfest 1230 ==
Korin was dispatched to [[Alula]] in order to investigate the [[The Stageplay of Frights|Stageplay of Frights]]. He traversed through the dungeon alongside [[Rosalie Cocoli]], taking the Hall of Tragedy while she took the Hall of Comedy. At the end of the dungeon, they remained completely out of sight until the Guild members defeated the boss, and used their magic to snatch the boss spoils at the last second and escape. He was stuck in Alula under minor medical care afterwards due to aether sickness.

=== '''Welcome to the world of [[Castrella]]!''' ===
Founded in December of 2024, the Castrella Project is a high-fantasy group world building collaboration between its contributors. Everyone involved in the Castrella project can submit their ideas for the world and have others expand upon them, ultimately creating and solidifying parts of the fantasy world in their own way. This group primarily discusses its contributions through a Discord server.

To be involved within this fantasy world, please reach out to [https://bsky.app/profile/dee.castrella.com Dee]. As of March 2025, the Discord sever is closed but accepting interested names for a waitlist. Our projected date of reopening for application process is late August to mid-September 2025.

== Guidelines ==
As with most community-based projects, a set of rules and guidelines are essential to the structure and integrity of the world. We recommend browsing through the majority of the main topics listed on our sidebar in order to get a feel for how the setting functions and what type of fantasy weaves itself in our stories. Once a basic comprehension is held, you may move down to the below topics.

=== [[Axioms]] ===
The [[Axioms]] page serves as a '''list of universal truths''' to follow when writing and contributing for Castrella's setting. They are static statements that will clearly affect how contributors write and mold their character and setting, so it is a requirement to review this page prior to design. While it is a lengthy read, it will help tremendously in ensuring you nail the vibes and themes of the world perfectly.

=== [[Building a Character]] ===
This page serves as an informational guide on how to start building a character for the setting. It explains in detail how subjects like [[races]] and [[Arcane Energy|aspects]] should play into your character and why they're important. Creating your first character for Castrella is everyone's first step into contribution, and of course, there are many people to assist in this endeavor if you're feeling lost. Once the character creation process has been reviewed and accepted, you can view how to create a WikiMedia page for your character [[Creating A Character Page|here]].

== Core Topics ==
Some major pages that build more upon the overarching setting of Castrella can be found down below, as well as the sidebar. As always, the WikiMedia is a perpetual work-in-progress, and all items can and will be expanded upon more and more in the future as members contribute and thread together their ideas to make this world functional and sensical.

}}'''''Pendra''''' is an Earth [[Races#Dragons|Dragon]] who lives in [[Eversun City]] under the care of the [[Valhalla Project]] orphanage. She is currently enrolled in her first year at the [[Education Division Academy]] without a division in mind.

== Appearance ==
A taller girl with a natural brown palette due to being an earth dragon. Her hair is brown, long, and straight, with some chunks of pure white. Her ears are pointed like an Elvaari's, and her skin tone is on the warmer side. The dragon traits she carries are two pairs of horns (the top set are very tiny), scales all over her body, a pair of tiny wings on her lower back, and a long pointed tail. Her eyes are bicolored, with with her left eye colored a pale red and her right eye colored a pale blue. The typical attire she aims to wear naturally has a sporty look, as she's always active and ready to run around and break a sweat. A notable part of Pendra's accessories is a blue anklet with silver bells along the outside, only required for her to wear when walking around the Valhalla Project.

== Personality ==
A go-getter loudmouth who doesn't understand the nuances of social cues. Pendra is peppy, cheery, and usually nothing can bring her down. She's ready to make friends at a moment's notice, often asking personal questions right away to understand her potential new companion better. She's easily swayed by others' words and is under the impression no one would lie to her, which can often get her in trouble. A very, very naïve soul that needs a bit of tempering to ensure she isn't taken advantage of. However, once you befriend this little dragon, you have a friend for life, and someone who is ready to throw herself into danger to ensure your safety.

== Biography ==
A dragon that was born on the surface of Castrella, in a village in Ha'zaar south of Eversun City. Her parents, two young earth dragons, took care of her very well and often let her roam around the small village unsupervised due to how heavily guarded and safe the area was. The village consisted mostly of earth Tempered, and so she adopted a lot of mentalities and ideas from them growing up. Strength is sturdiness, sturdiness is infallible, and to be infallible means to protect the ones you love. Pendra has clutched onto these words to this very day.

At the age of ten, Pendra got caught attempting to swipe some valuables from a traveling caravan that set up shop in her village for a week. This is where she encountered Nivian, her now-lifelong platonic partner. Since Pendra is easily swayed by others' words, Nivian demanded she pay reparations by going out on a treasure hunt with her outside the village. Not knowing the dangers in this, Pendra blindly accepted, and Nivian and Pendra set out beyond the village borders to search for valuables for Nivian to bring to her parents. They wandered for quite a while, sneaking past guards on every corner, and suddenly... they were lost.

Far, far gone from the village.

Their luck with encountering monsters and dangers wore out very quickly. When threatened with an ambush from a hungry monster, the two were saved by a traveling Kindred, Korin Altair. After being interrogated about their origins and family, Nivian chose not to elaborate on these questions for the both of them. Korin then carried them back to Eversun City and submitted them to the Valhalla Project orphanage under his care.

Pendra has been at the orphanage for eight years now. A little late into age eighteen, she enrolled into the Education Division Academy to strengthen her body and her resolve to protect the people she loves.

An overview of Pendra’s participation throughout various events hosted throughout [[Castrella]]'s timeline. These encompass the Discord-hosted events hosted by Guild Administration.

== Phoenix Fest 1230 ==
Attended the [[Valhalla Project]]’s third-annual Phoenix Fest mini-festival, the biggest one hosted to date. While she was just an attendee, she spent time with a lot of the contributors and youth younger than her to create dreamcatchers.

== Gourdfest 1230 ==
Aside from attending the Valhalla Project’s festival dressed as her own interpretation of St. Cleo, Pendra ended up sneaking into a carriage on the way to [[Alula]] to answer the call to neutralize the [[The Stageplay of Frights|Stageplay of Frights]] dungeon with [[Nivian Poleira]]. She took the path of the Hall of Tragedy, facing her fears together under the protection of her friends. Using her strong earth magic, she assisted in blocking off sections of the dungeon to provide safety for others.

== Appearance ==
A small caracal Lesser Kindred with long dusty brown hair fashioned into low twintails with blue hairbands and blue hairclips in her front bangs, large caracal ears with tufts of fur, and a long brown tail. Her eyes are a sapphire blue and almost look teary most of the time. There are freckles scattered on her face. Her main apparel leans to shades of blue and white. She enjoys wearing heavier sweaters with knee-length skirts. There's a blue anklet with silver bells on her body whenever she is present in the Valhalla Project area.

== Personality ==
A very quiet and calculating soul. Nivian's primary demeanor leans towards timid and silent, with a fear of speaking up. However, this is not particularly the case, as she uses this trait of hers to her advantage. She's able to see through a lot of ruses and fake personalities when she's allowed to focus, and can typically use her gentle voice to sway others one direction or the other. She has a penchant for wanting to see results of the unknown with her own two eyes, which leads her to convince others to do things ''for'' her that may not be entirely smart. While her voice is almost always drowned out by others, she tends to latch onto anyone who is willing to listen to her fully and understand her.

== Biography ==
A small caracal Lesser Kindred born in the deserts of Vyper to a mercantile family. Said family held a large number of members, all with separate caravans to travel across the surface of Castrella and sell their (sort of suspicious) relics and wares. Nivian was dragged along on these caravans since she her infant years, and never particularly enjoyed this lifestyle. Her family raised her with the mindset that their little Nivian would join them in their journeys and endeavors as her own merchant, and harshly trained her on formalities and conniving schemes to reel in customers with shady business deals.

At the age of ten, Nivian's family set up their merchant caravan in a small village in Ha'zaar for a week. This is where she encountered [[Pendra]], her now-lifelong platonic partner. Since Pendra is easily swayed by others' words, Nivian demanded she pay reparations by going out on a treasure hunt with her outside the village.

PLEASE please DM Dee for some relationships with the kiddo!!

=== [[Pendra]] ===
<blockquote>''My best friend, someone who relies on me. Perhaps I don't treat her the best, but she's stayed by my side for eight long years, and I wholeheartedly appreciate her. She appears stressed when I'm not around, but I fear the days where we may spend every waking hour together are coming to a close. I want to go into the same Guild division as her, but... I don't know. I do love her, though.''</blockquote>A very accidental friendship starting from the age of ten. The two have been together for almost half of their lives, and Nivian may have been lost without Pendra staying by her side through her adolescence. Pendra was able to give a voice to Nivian, something the latter always struggled with. However, this doesn't stop Nivian from still poking fun at her companion and getting her into trouble. Nothing will ever put that to a halt. She'd love to stay close by to Pendra as long as she can, but lately, she's been concerned about how their interests misalign when it comes to what they want to pursue in the Adventurers' Guild. She's hoping it doesn't cause a rift in their relationship.

=== [[Hanzekihel Oulieus]] ===
<blockquote>''Uncle Hanze is very easy to poke at. It's fun. But I also suspect he's more involved with big brother and big sister than just the Valhalla Project... I wonder...''</blockquote>A face Nivian doesn't typically get to see often, so when she does get the opportunity, she tends to latch onto his company. Her initial interactions with him spurred from Korin telling her he's "easy to mess with," and as her manipulative little self, she took it to heart and often played pranks or assaulted him with inquiries. This turned into a request for him to visit more often as he does humor her curious mind, and now Nivian pays him visits to his office after her academy lectures to further supplement her studies. There's a gut feeling within her that says that her Uncle Hanze is far more than ''just'' a donor to the Valhalla Project, though, and has been lurking around for information on that potentially made-up scenario. She's ''certain'' something is going on.

=== [[Odin Finch]] ===
<blockquote>''Big sister is a joy to have around. She does so much, and she seems so stressed when big brother isn't around to help her. Hopefully once I graduate from the Academy, I can help her out more.'' </blockquote>Nivian gets along very well with Odin. They respect each other very greatly, and often times the two will surmise a scheme to prank Korin whenever he does return to Eversun City. The admiration Nivian holds for her big sister is very high, and often times, she can see the stress and anxiety written on her face when she's dealing with managing the Project alone. She often wishes she can do something more to assist.

=== [[Korin Altair]] ===
<blockquote>''Big brother saved Pendra and I from a monster when we wandered too far from a village. Thank the dragons above... I didn't want to be bound by my family anymore.'' </blockquote>When Pendra and Nivian were attacked by a monster wandering the wilds of Ha'zaar, Korin slayed the beast just in time and took them to [[Eversun City]]. With both Nivian and Korin being quiet-natured and preferring solitude, he's the big sibling she prefers spending time with. There's a faint, misguided agitation towards the older Kindred regarding his frequent absence, and she's certain that he's faking his job as a Wayfarer. There's a lot of mystery behind him she wants to figure out on her own.

PLEASE please DM Dee for some relationships with the kiddo!! Pendra has many friends!!

=== [[Nivian]] ===
<blockquote>''My best friend, my partner! I don't know what I'd do without her. She teaches me so much about the world and guides me through everything I have questions about. I don't actually regret leaving the village with you, and I hope that I can continue to live my life with you and protect you like I always wanted to! Let's get into the same division together, yeah?''</blockquote>A very accidental friendship starting from the age of ten. The two have been together for almost half of their lives, and Pendra wouldn't want it any other way. She's under the impression that they ''can'' stay together, for the rest of their lives, despite their interests being wildly different. Pendra often gets stressed when Nivian isn't attached to her, as she heavily relies on the Kindred to explain a lot of subjects the dragon may not be familiar with. Despite always getting into trouble thanks to Nivian's experimental suggestions, she still trusts her with her life.

=== [[Selena Idris]] ===
<blockquote>''Aunt Selena is the coolest dragon I've ever met! Not that I've met many. But her strength and attitude are exactly what I want to be like when I grow older. I made her pinky promise to never leave, because no one dares to break one of those!'' </blockquote>When Selena began helping out with labor and acting as a general guardian to the orphanage kids in the Valhalla Project, Pendra saw a woman with the same ideals as her. A strong, sensible, headstrong personality with friends that can rely on her. The opportunity arose for Pendra to learn about being a proper dragon from a new perspective, and she grasped onto it almost immediately. Family protects family in Pendra's world, and to her, Selena is an invaluable family member she never wants to lose. Their pinky promise is one never to break... hopefully.

=== [[Odin Finch]] ===
<blockquote>''Big sister Odin is the one I see the most around the project area. I've watched her spar with big bro Korin a lot and... oh, she always wins.'' </blockquote>The big sibling that Pendra gets along better with. They both have a similar outlook on life, which is to simply live in the moment and worry about the future later. Pendra is actually more concerned about the future than Odin is, surprisingly enough. But Pendra has always been fascinated with how physically capable Odin is despite her small stature. She's even gone as far as to ask Odin if she can join her on her morning exercise runs, and so far, Pendra has done an excellent job keeping up pace with Odin.

=== [[Korin Altair]] ===
<blockquote>''Big bro Korin is the one who actually rescued Nivi and I from a wild monster. It's pretty much thanks to him I have an amazing family now!'' </blockquote>When Pendra and Nivian were attacked by a monster wandering the wilds of Ha'zaar, Korin slayed the beast just in time and took them to [[Eversun City]]. Pendra typically doesn't get to interact with Korin that often due to his nomadic nature, and thus, has only minor thoughts about him. She's forever grateful for him introducing her to a brand-new family, and wants to help him as best as she can when she's able to contribute more to the Valhalla Project than being just a resident orphan. He's the one who taught her how important it is to never break a pinky promise, after all.

== Appearance ==
A taller girl with a natural brown palette due to being an earth dragon. Her hair is brown, long, and straight, with some chunks of pure white. Her ears are pointed like an Elvaari's, and her skin tone is on the warmer side. The dragon traits she carries are two pairs of horns (the top set are very tiny), scales all over her body, a pair of tiny wings on her lower back, and a long pointed tail. Her eyes are bicolored, with with her left eye colored a pale red and her right eye colored a pale blue. The typical attire she aims to wear naturally has a sporty look, as she's always active and ready to run around and break a sweat. A notable part of Pendra's accessories is a blue anklet with silver bells along the outside, only required for her to wear when walking around the Valhalla Project.

== Personality ==
A go-getter loudmouth who doesn't understand the nuances of social cues. Pendra is peppy, cheery, and usually nothing can bring her down. She's ready to make friends at a moment's notice, often asking personal questions right away to understand her potential new companion better. She's easily swayed by others' words and is under the impression no one would lie to her, which can often get her in trouble. A very, very naïve soul that needs a bit of tempering to ensure she isn't taken advantage of. However, once you befriend this little dragon, you have a friend for life, and someone who is ready to throw herself into danger to ensure your safety.

== Biography ==
A dragon that was born on the surface of Castrella, in a village in Ha'zaar south of Eversun City. Her parents, two young earth dragons, took care of her very well and often let her roam around the small village unsupervised due to how heavily guarded and safe the area was.

Strength is sturdiness, sturdiness is infallible, and to be infallible means to protect the ones you love. Pendra has clutched onto these words to this very day.

Holidays

2025-11-23T03:26:20Z

Chickadee: Added Sundance, removed Jubilance

[[Castrella]] celebrates a multitude of holidays, and [[Eversun City]] typically hosts festivals in its Theater District for major holidays observed by most cultures. Other Adventurers' Guild branches and outposts will decorate for the occasion, even if the municipality they are hosted in does not observe that holiday. Holiday seasons last around two weeks surrounding the actual event day.

== St. Morgan's Recital ==

1st -> 15th Feb (25th Flourish -> 6th Nova)

A St. Valentine's Day-esque event that celebrates the legendary romance of two Featherfolk, a corumbidae and a corvid, that each had one wing. The two would bake chocolates in the shape of two wings making a heart, and then split the chocolate in half together. For shorthand, most citizens can say "Recital Day." This practice is observed throughout all of Castrella, and the gifting of the Wing-Hearts is common practice between friends, family, and lovers alike. One may outright buy the chocolates from the market, or attempt to bake it themselves. The most important factor of the holiday is the breaking of the Wing-Hearts; the line it cracks in determines you and the other person's fate as a duo. If the chocolate crumbles or cracks highly unevenly, you are sure to have a tumultuous relationship. If the chocolate breaks in a near-perfect line, your relationship will last forever.

It is commonplace for school students to hold contests on how many Wing-Hearts one person receives and breaks with another. There are, however, also ill superstitions attached to breaking ''too'' many Wing-Hearts with others. Whatever one person may believe, they may celebrate the holiday however they please, as all of it is superstition and vague scare-tactics. So don't forget to buy or make Wing-Hearts for your beloved!

On [placeholder date lol], the Theater District hosts a festival like the rest of the holidays celebrated in Eversun City. This festival includes live music, lots of chocolate desserts and feather-themed meals - and the primary color for the decorations is black, for corvid Featherfolk like St. Morgan. The festival runs all day and once the sun sets, it is customary to take the stage in a grassy field beneath the orange sunset and ballroom dance with your fated partner. Friend or lover, it doesn't matter - all are welcome!

'''Note:''' This is not a federal holiday, and business operate at normal hours. The Hearth is not closed, and Adventurers still must report to their daily shift.

== St. Noah's Reprieve ==

1st -> 15th March (20th Nova -> 34th Nova)

A White Day-edque event that follows St. Morgan's Recital. For shorthand, most citizens can day "Reprieve Day." There is no festival for this holiday, but decorations will still be in place with white feather-themed items - for corumbidae Featherfolk like St. Noah. This day is dedicated to spending time with your loved one(s) you gifted Wing-Hearts to, as it's recommended to take a full day with them to do whatever you want. If you choose not to spend time with anyone at all, superstition demands you have poor luck with romance for the rest of your year. If you choose to spend time with someone you did not break Wing-Hearts with, word says you will lose your loved ones you broke them with, no matter what the outcome was -- even if the break was perfect.

This is a federal holiday. Businesses are closed and Adventurers get paid time off for the day.

== Jack Quipsy's ==

1st April (Ire 10th)

[Placeholder text]:

(April Fools Stand-in)

Date: April 1st / Ire 10th

Event Duration: 2 weeks

Basis: Quipsy Day celebrates a very famous jester, Jack Quipsy, known since the days before the Adventurers' Guild was established. Starting off as a street entertainer, he participated in what he called "Jester Duels" in order to attain notoriety and one day serve the monarchy. These Jester Duels involved public displays of entertainment, and who could get the crowd to laugh more. Even after being told to cease picking these duels with others, he continued, which ultimately led him to being noticed by the monarchy. He was hired to be the court jester, however, he played a prank too far on the king himself and got beheaded. There are rumors that say he didn't die upon beheading, and that he still wanders Castrella looking for his head that bounced out the castle window.

Public Participation: Partake in one-uppism in a Jester Duel. This is not an insult-off. This is basically a Try Not To Laugh (TNTL) while the other person makes really stupid comments. Attract a crowd to do "oohs" and "ahhs." It's like Chicken. Does this allow you to say penis in public really loud? Perhaps. Mayhaps. Persnaps.

Theater District Appearance: Bananas. Silly hats.

Superstitions: If you don't participate, Jack Quipsy will behead you spiritually. If you take a joke too far, it will bring very bad luck. No one will laugh at your jokes for an entire year. Not even Whitt. Some say you will even get a permanent sticky note on your back that says "KICK ME" and it's in the middle of your back so you can't reach it. But you know. Other people can't tell you, and if someone points out the sticky note, they get the sticky note.

== St. Cleo's ==
A holiday celebrating the first Adventurer & legendary hero, St. Cleo, who established Eversun City as a central landmark to connect the world before shortly disappearing.

== [[Sundance]] ==
New Year's Eve, honoring starcrossed lovers depicted by the sun and moon.

== [[Phoenix Festival|The Migration of the Phoenixes (Phoenix Festival)]] ==

1st May -> 31st May (6th Patchwall -> 2nd Harvestine)

Honoring the migration of the phoenixes, we light and shoot rockets into the air to celebrate both them, and the aspect of fire! [WIP]

Sundance

2025-11-23T03:25:15Z

Chickadee: Basis of Sundance and its traditions added. Go vote in the poll if you haven't already!

'''''Sundance''''' is an annual festival commemorating bonds, new and old, and the value they hold in someone's life. It is formally observed on the entirety of [[Castrella]] on Whisper 34, the final day of the calendar year, when the donut-shaped moon eclipses the sun and casts a radiant beam of light down into the center of Solaurum, directly over [[Eversun City]], known as the ''Light of Guidance''. It is very common for people from all territories to travel to Eversun City for this holiday, and the City receives the most amount of traffic and tourism during this season.

== Legend ==
The most common iteration of the legend behind Sundance tells of two goddesses, one resting on the sun and one resting on the moon, who are separated the entire year from each other until the 365th day of the year, where the moon eclipses the sun. This is the only time they may see one another, and indulge in these 24 hours together to engage in a beautiful dance until they inevitably part ways once more, whispering tales of the journeys they've experienced around the world the prior year. There are many visual depictions of these two goddess that vary depending on the territory and culture spinning the tales, and of course, there will be some discrepancies in the legend itself because of it. However, Sundance's legend is one of the most commonly agreed upon story from all regions, comparing to other holidays.

The sun goddess and the moon goddess can be considered both a tragic tale and a hopeful tale. They are representative of all bonds between individuals, proving that despite distance, if you truly love someone—platonic or romantic—your bonds will never shatter.

== Traditions ==
Sundance as a holiday may only be observed formally for a single day, however, that does not stop the festivities from starting early. Many municipalities, such as Eversun City, begin hosting festivities and age-old traditions from the very start of Whisper. The traditions of Sundance are widely known throughout the entire planet of Castrella, and it would be highly difficult to find an individual who does not understand how to participate in this holiday. There are quite a few traditions stacked in this holiday.

=== Dance of Bonds ===
As the name of the holiday implies, the most common and important tradition partaken in Sundance is the ''Dance of Bonds''. Beneath the ''Light of Guidance'', if one dances during the moment the clock rolls over into the new calendar year, good omens will come to you. The good omens are entirely based on personal values; if a family values monetary wealth, their good omen passed down may be to carry good fortune. If a couple values the love within their relationship, their good omen passed down may be to never shatter those chains in the coming years. There are several different types of dances for different types of bonds, with very little variation between cultures. The most common iteration of the set of dances is the ''Eversun Standard Waltz''.

* '''Friends and Groups''' — For purely platonic friendships, a very easy and simple round dance adjusted for two or many participants is commonplace in Eversun City's [[Theater District]].
* '''Family''' '''Members''' — A fun variant of a samba, the dance used for celebrating all types of family relationships is upbeat and cheerful. This is not purely reserved for blood family.
* '''Romantic Relationships''' — A ballroom dance reserved for intimate relationships. A slower-paced and gentle dance that is used to tell your partner(s) of your devotion to them.

As a general reminder, there is no ill omen for spending Sundance alone or outside of a dance.

=== Wish Tags ===
In a real-world [[wikipedia:Tanabata|Tanabata]]-style mirror, people can gift ''"wishes"'' to one another in the form of little tags (similar to ''tanzaku''). The color of the tags based on stages of sunlight determines how the giver sees their and the receiver's relationship. The tags always have star, sun, and moon decorations with the wish written on the main body of the tag.

* '''Daytime''' — A yellow and blue gradient tag reserved for '''lovers'''. The daytime colors represent the dawning warmth of the sun and romantic love.
* '''Dusk''' — A purple and deep blue gradient tag reserved for '''family'''. The dusk colors represent the inevitable return of the night and the ability to always return to family at the end of the day.
* '''Nighttime''' — A silver and gold gradient tag reserved for '''friends'''. The moonlight colors represent the moon accompanied by a countless sea of stars, reminding of the countless bonds and friends made along through the journey of life.
* '''Dawn''' — An orange and yellow gradient tag reserved for '''new bonds'''. The sunrise colors represents a new dawn, a new day, a new friend made.

Whenever the receiver is allowed to read the wishes gifted to them is up to the giver. It can be as simple as ''"read this when the year changes"'' or it can be as complicated as ''"read this when you're feeling lonely over a dinner table.''"

=== Weather Prediction ===
Weather forecasters will announce every beginning of the month of Whisper whether Sundance is "led by the moon" or "led by the sun." If the dance is led by the moon, the year will be colder than average. If the dance is led by the sun, the year will be warmer than average. Whether this is true or not is up to interpretation!

=== Dress Code ===
People can wear any formal outfits that take from the theme of the moon (blue/purple/silver) or the sun (orange/gold/red). When participating in the festival hosted by Eversun City's Theater District every year, you might be the odd one out in the sea of visitors. It's also commonplace to wear a lot of jewelry to have the jingling sound of metal resound while dancing. Often times, couples will match in opposite themes (one in moon-themed clothing, one in sun-themed clothing) to honor the goddesses.

Dungeons

2025-11-19T06:04:44Z

Chickadee: Transferred information from the document into a formally worded page.

== Overview ==
'''''Dungeons''''', sometimes called colloquially as ''pop-up dungeons'', are created by a drastic change in aether flow. As aether is displaced and accumulated in a centralized region, it creates a pocket in the environment. This condensation of aether is known as an ''aether rift''. This typically only occurs when one element is displaced erroneously and attempts to absorb another element. Dependent on the displaced element, changes in the surrounding regions are apparent, including those to the fauna and flora. The region may be unnaturally charged with said element and could be highly damaging to living species who are not aspected to it.

Due to the erratic nature of the dungeons and aether that causes them, it is also possible for smaller dungeons to spawn around a larger one, creating a chain link of dungeons and a particularly dangerous area to be present in. These dungeons are a consistent source of quests for Wayfarers, and their preferred method of occupying themselves. They are the responsible party for rating all dungeons based on their difficulty and contents with the sole exception of dungeons that spawn within corrupted bubbles. The [[Outerworld Division]] handles those.

== Types of Dungeons ==
There are currently four different types of dungeons rated by the [[Wayfarers' Division]].

* '''Basic dungeons —''' Multi-leveled structures with creatures and occasionally a boss monster at the end. Labyrinthine in nature and can have a range of difficulties, listed below.
* '''Trivial dungeons —''' Permanent dungeons stabilized by the [[Arcane Sciences Division]] and the [[Education Division]] for trainees and educational purposes. These are typically the "safest" ones to trek through, though without an educational supervisor, can be dangerous nonetheless.
* '''Vacant dungeons —''' A dungeon that has been previously raided or created with nothing inside. If not preserved into a ''trivial dungeon'', these vacant dungeons typically dissipate within five days of completion.
* '''Corrupted dungeons —''' Dungeons formed only inside bubbles from a [[monarch]] or [[sovereign]].

=== Difficulty Rating ===
All dungeons have a difficulty rating attached to them. Typically Wayfaring experts can deduce a dungeon's difficulty level by stepping into the entryway and observing the dungeon's aether flow.

* '''Trivial''' — Threat level 0 — Permanent dungeons stabilized by the Arcane Sciences Division and the Education Division for trainees and educational purposes. These tend to be previously explored ''Clear-Cut'' or ''Touchstone'' level dungeons.
* '''Clear-Cut''' —Threat Level I — The easiest type of dungeons, meant for beginner Wayfarers or as the first foray into field work for Wayfaring students. Sometimes also called idiot-proof, mostly by educators.
* '''Touchstone''' — Threat Level II — The most common type of dungeons by far, meant for Wayfarers with a little more experience than beginners. Considered the standard difficulty for most Wayfarers.
* '''Midpoint''' — Threat Level III — as the name suggests it’s a midpoint between the both extremes. Not too difficult but definitely not a walk in the park.
* '''Hazard''' — Threat Level IV — The highest level of dungeons a dungeon can reach. Most excursions into these are done in groups of very experienced Wayfarers and may even request highly qualified and veteran Adventurers from other divisions to accompany.
* '''Corrupted''' – Threat Level V — Dungeons affected by corruption, only accessible to members of the Outerworld Division. Law corrupted dungeons are marked with a line from left to right, while whimsy corrupted ones are marked with a line from right to left. Adventurers remember which one is which by using the saying ''“Left for Law.”''
* '''Pitfall''' — Threat Level Unknown — Dungeons who despite multiple dives still couldn’t be properly categorized. Generally only open to Adventurers who can take on Hazard-level level dungeons due to their unpredictability. Often leaves room for recruiting veteran Adventurers from other divisions.

== Allowances ==
Dungeons secured and noticed by the Adventurers' Guild will require Wayfarers to show their Division-provided identification charm to posted officials before accepting a quest to a dungeon. There are typically three reasons why a person is allowed into a dungeon:

* '''Exterminating''' — Eradicating all creatures and boss monsters and draining excess displaced aether to stop the production of creatures.
* '''Gathering''' — Collecting resources found only within dungeons (flora, fauna, minerals, creature cores)
* '''Researching''' — Data gathering and compiling to report to the Arcane Sciences Division and Environmental Division.

== Diving Helpers ==
Companions that make the dungeon diving efforts easier. These can range from Adventurers of differing divisions or creatures that are attuned to assisting Wayfarers in their journeys.

* '''Wayfarers''' — Of course, the essential for any dive; clearing monsters, bodyguarding party members for non-combat/educational purposes, and getting down to the bottom of any dungeon.
* '''On-Call Medics''' — Members from the [[Contingency Division]] who are ready to assist as healers during missions if a Wayfaring healer cannot be contacted. They are indispensable on higher difficulty dungeons. At least one member of the Contingency Division is posted outside of Midpoint and above rated dungeons to help Adventurers decompress after exiting a dungeon, as wounds and stress may be too difficult for a single healer to handle.
* '''Captains and Scouts''' — In cases where the dungeons are located within bubbles, it becomes the Outerworld Division's responsibility to deal with them as they are the ones with the expertise when it comes to Law and Whimsy. Regular Wayfarers are not allowed to assist.
* '''Archivist Division Adventurers''' — In charge of documenting various dungeon dives, either posted outside the dungeon or brought along inside (documenting creatures, flora, loot, etc.), mapping out permanent dungeons. Their presence will turn the expedition into an extreme escort quest, though.
* '''[New canine creature]:''' a bloodhound-like pure-aether canine with bug features (antennae, proboscis, etc.) to sniff magic/aether. They can place a “magic marker” in various places that the canine can sniff out, acting like checkpoints the party can return to. They can also assist with dispersing and absorbing erroneous aether that caused the rift.
* '''[New insect creatures]:''' Crystal butterflies and/or fireflies kept safe in a mesh lantern to light the way and guide the party back to the surface to the “magic marker”. These insects can be aspected to different elements and have natural attraction towards them, following where they point to could lead to sources of specific aether (like water).

== Folklore ==
The archivists will provide a brief description on various myths, folklore, legends, and superstitions that surround dungeon diving.

== Miscellaneous ==

* Anything can happen in a dungeon. Be prepared.
* Dungeons can create illusions or hallucinations, whether visual or auditory.
** Auditory hallucinations could be caused by wind aether messing up sounds.
** Poisonous plants or venomous creatures could also be a cause for these.
* There can be possible rescue missions for parties trapped inside of dungeons when a party has estimated the difficulty.
* Some special dungeons are recurring but on a long timer or consistent, which often leads Wayfarers to look forward to these dungeons as an event.

* A collaborative Google document created by [[User:KirbyAustria|KirbyAustria]] to help organize thoughts: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/11iI4q9o8stQ6WIen32PKTd468MIXLZXuFy99WzHi14c/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.f9rfdjdsck8i <nowiki>[here]</nowiki>]

}}'''''Helia Argoss''''' is a fire [[Races#Dragons|Dragon]] native to [[Eversun City]] currently working in the [[Arcane Sciences Division]], particularly in the [[Arcane Sciences Division#Magitech|Magitech]] subdivision.

== Appearance ==
A fire Dragon with a color palette reminiscent of the Glimmer season changing into Auburn. She stands at average height, but with a frailer frame. Her hair is long, down to her lower back, that fades from a darker red to a orange-yellow at the tips. A chunk of bangs covers her right eye, and her eyes gleam with the fiery hue of rubies. She's typically dressed in business-casual wear; a collared shirt with a tie and pleated skirt to match, and a lab coat resting over her shoulders. She has fairly thin wings, curved horns, and a long, slim tail that is decorated by jade beads.

== Personality ==
Kind, gentle-natured, and generally quiet. Helia is someone who keeps to herself but has a fantastic relationship with any of her colleagues that speak with her. She isn’t necessarily shy or timid, but her demeanor is pleasant to be around. Always looking at the positive side of situations and outcomes, she finds value in everything that crosses her path. She heavily believes in the idea that everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. She also has the habit of shutting herself indoors for most hours of the sunlight, even on her days off. She’s just very passionate about her research!

== Biography ==
Helia is a fire dragon that comes from a family of two male Dragons, one fire and one dark. Her fathers are from [[Lyrrh al Stahl]], both fallen, and she was born on the surface in Eversun City. At the age of ten, she was diagnosed with a debilitating type of [[Arcane Energy#Aether Sickness|aether sickness]] only found rarely in surface-born Dragons, which causes her [[Arcane Energy#Aether Gland|aether gland]] to work overtime attempting to overproduce aether within the body. The aether gland begins to stress out other internal processes and they want to work overtime too, which then causes her to have some symptoms such as heart arrhythmia, trouble breathing, and dizzy spells/fainting. The condition is due to the atmosphere on [[Castrella]]’s surface having lower levels of aether, but Dragons are still born with the innate bodily expectation of being completely submerged in a dense ocean of aether. While fallen Dragons experience a type of aether sickness similar to this condition when arriving on the surface, they’re typically able to bounce back and adapt to this new environment. She also cannot use magic very well, which normally for a Dragon, would be a large blow to their pride. Her fathers were very supportive, though, and did not pressure Helia to place a lot of her value on her aetheric abilities despite their origins from Lyrrh al Stahl. With a lot of support from Guild doctors, they were able to secure medications to provide Helia with a good quality of life growing up. Sometimes she still cannot stay up and about for very long, especially outdoors, but it doesn’t bother her much.

Helia enrolled in the [[Adventurers' Guild|Adventurers’ Guild]] with the intentions to study more on aether sickness conditions and help others who experience similar ones to hers, working for the [[Contingency Division]] for about five years. She was then offered to transfer to the Arcane Sciences Division, particularly in the Magitech subdivision after some extra courses in the [[Education Division Academy]]. When she learned about the basis of [[Magitech]]—and the whole group of researchers dedicated to improving people’s lives that cannot use magic—she fell in love immediately. She felt like she could help better here and learn more about magic and aether. Later into her career she was asked to assist with the development of communicators thanks to her brilliant mind and dedication. While this wasn’t exactly her exact ideal project to be on, she still accepted, and spent several years attempting to perfect the short-range communicator we have today. This research spurred her into attempting to develop a long-range communication device from the blueprints, thus the idea of a radio came into view. A great way to relay announcements to the public with a single click of a button will certainly help everyone keep in touch with the state of affairs regarding the world they live in. Helia’s gentle, amicable, and sunny personality ended up having her nominated for being the “voice for the people,” that way headmasters and management can submit their announcements for the completed radio station to Helia and have her speak about them without taking time out of their busy schedules to do so themselves. This posed a problem, though: Helia didn’t really want to be a public icon, so she went out of her way to hire the [[Creative Commons Division]] members to assist her in creating an “alter ego” for her to wear during her radio casting. The CCD ended up having a little too much fun with this project, creating a character called Lunya Dusk that’s a half-[[Purrtôme|purrtome]], half-dragon girl with a penchant for cat puns and an energetic disposition. Unsure if the alter ego’s personality was something Helia could handle, she gave it her best shot as the Adventurers’ Guild radio caster, and the general public’s reception of her was nothing short of infatuation.

Lunya Dusk’s career has been going strong for a few years now, gaining popularity and now being used and commissioned for advertisement, meet and greets, sponsorships, and anything that would want her likeness to be used in a public setting. No one outside of Helia’s close colleagues and friends know she is the woman behind the radio, and she would much rather keep it this way. Just simply knowing she can bring some ease and consistency to all walks of life by adopting this (slightly tiring) personality means the world to her. Not only that, but she can continue to be part of the Magitech subdivision and work on the technology that can assist others like her. And thanks to her lifespan as a Dragon, she can work for centuries upon centuries to see a world where Magitech is commonplace.

== Abilities ==
Helia, despite being a Dragon, does not have a stable grip on her aether. She can cast magic but at the very basic "light a fire at the fingertip" level. Anything else will cause her physical pain.

* When Nemesia isn’t in school and Helia still has to work, she’ll drop them off at the [[Valhalla Project]] Landing.
* Takes specially made aetheric supplements to keep her health in check when radio casting. Even if she’s sitting the entire time, it’s a lot of talking and energy.
* Despite having a purrtome mascot, she actually doesn’t have any attachment towards one. Probably has a pet caudam? Maybe keeps fish.

}}'''''Audrey Reed''''' is a Columbidae [[Races#Featherfolk|Featherfolk]] native to [[Alula]] currently working in that city's [[Environmental Division]] [[Adventurers' Guild#Outposts|outpost]] hub as a biologist that specializes in ornithology. She also works on at the '''''Willow & Reed Volary,''''' a prominent business wing in Alula that raises and breeds peerkos.

== Appearance ==
A woman who stands on the taller side of the Featherfolk height range, she has dark red-auburn hair that tapers into an orange color at the tips. Similarly orange-colored feathers also sprout from her head, nestled underneath her hair but are still visible. She has bright lime eyes, always seemingly smug or tired. Her wardrobe often consists of a headscarf, neckerchief, shirts that reveal her abdomen, short-shorts with a half-skirt, and long thigh-high leather boots with elbow-length gloves to match. Her white wings fade into a darker orange-gold color at the tips of the feathers, and they are often stained a little bit with dirt due to her profession as a peerkokeeper.

She always dons the patch of the Willow & Reed Volary on her outfits.

== Personality ==
A very easy-going and carefree young woman. She isn’t afraid of voicing anything she is feeling, and can get feisty when she is challenged on topics she’s passionate about. Audrey is insanely good with creatures and animals, especially ones that are younger or pre-adulthood. She loves traveling, engaging in different cultures, people and animals, and documenting their lifestyles through photography, and eating all different kinds of food. She doesn’t go anywhere without her trusty camera and peerko companion, Taro.

Audrey can act very rash at times, but doesn't lack critical thinking skills. She's very smart and can pick up on animal behaviors easily, but maybe struggles with some emotional tells emitted by people themselves. She speaks with a strong Alulan accent, but it is easily understandable.

== Biography ==
Audrey hails from Alula, a floating island home to a large population of avian Kindred and Featherfolk. She spent almost her entire life there with her family, went to a prestigious academy for general education during her childhood, and assisted with her family’s business of peerkokeeping. It is a very lucrative business as peerkos are very picky avian creatures and difficult to raise. The Reed family has been in this business for over three centuries, in partnership with another family by the surname of Willow. So the Willow & Reed Volary is a rather large aviary Wing focused on raising peerkos and harvesting their down and crystallites for export.

As Audrey grew older and more experienced with peerkokeeping, she decided to expand her interests in the business and prepare for a position in the Environmental Division outpost in Alula while helping her family with the volary. So, she packed up her belongings and moved out of the city temporarily to attend the [[Education Division Academy]] in [[Eversun City]]. Before she left, the head of the Willow family approached Audrey’s family and asked her to bring along and supervise their son who is also helping them in the volary, [[Sparrow]], who is only a year younger than her. Considering they’d be going in for the same classes, she obliged, and off the two went to attend the Education Division Academy.

Unfortunately for Audrey, Sparrow was a nightmare student and was often caught cheating in his classes. He was an incredibly high-strung troublemaker and very much roped Audrey into things she didn’t want to be involved in, making her assume a half-guardian, half-older-sister role for him. Thanks to her very abrasive personality, she did her best to kick him into gear and eventually help him graduate the EDA… even if it delayed her return to Alula by a long while.

Audrey now resides back in Alula and has a very busy life, often filling up her schedule entirely day by day by either working out on the field and documenting avian behavior, working on her family’s volary, or traveling from city to city to photograph events. Sparrow is still her best friend despite the troubles he makes for her still, and due to his inconfidence in life and expectations placed by his successful peers at the volary, he follows her around like a lost fledgling half the time.
