'''Jaysehn Ranshai''' is a human Aristocrat. He claims to be from a distant land called the Kingdom of Quevek, within which his family holds the seat of the Dukes of Rygil. He is a Master of the Order of Voln, and has served the Sentinels of the Order since his first vows. He is active any place the minions of Luukos hold sway.

===History===
Born in his family's ancestral estate, Jaysehn was the second of three siblings. Born without the blessings of mana, Jaysehn was unable to take up the traditional mantle of sorcery for which his family was famed. With that duty taken up by Jaysehn's older brother, Jaysehn spent much of his formative years in the Academy of Jenar, the Kingdom's premier military academy. Circumstances that he is reluctant to speak of caused him to have a split from his family upon his graduation from the Academy.

Some months later, Jaysehn arrived on the shores of Elanthia and quickly sought out the Order of Voln to learn how to destroy the undead. It has been his mantle, duty and mission ever since.

'''an ornate ebony eahnor cresset sword with a glowing firewheel-shard pommel ''' - 'Dusk'

Pallid silver at its core, this eahnor weapon's hilt bears six panels of engraved ivory running from guard to pommel, three to a side. Though each differs, the ivory panels bear the detailed image of a raven and a crescent moon. The matte finish of the ebony blade tapers to a perfectly formed tip, an ideal contrast to the hilt. A small jade crest is set into the blade itself, just above the crossguard, and features a raven perched inside a crescent moon, its head tilted as it gazes into the distance. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the sword. A strong aura of holy light radiates from the sword.
There appears to be something written on it.

In the Elven language, it reads:
Patience tempers the sword of fury.

Firewheel Flare Messaging: **A torrent of shimmering dust roils around Jaysehn before forming an ordered phalanx of crystalline swords and tridents that plunge into a chthonian sybil in a violent storm of Liabo-hued light!**

Valravn Flare Messaging: ** Surrounded by a shroud of clinging shadows, a hollow-eyed ethereal valravn swoops down with an eerily echoing shriek as a murder of distorted Liabo-hued valravns lurch around it on a wave of disruption! **

This richly appointed vellum appears to be a genealogy of the family Ranshai, tracing its ancestry back nearly seven generations. The names of the male members of the line are scribed in a particularly bold fashion, the obvious intent to draw the eye to them. It begins with what appears to be the progenitor of the line, Dejar. It then continues down through six male heirs until finally arriving at the last wedded male's progeny: Vesago, Jaysehn, and Aliacia.

PTOLEMY:

I wanted to ask a question about this phrase: "Kasendra was the highest ranking noble NPC prior to the appearance of Emperor Aurmont at the Valley of Gold."

Is this intended to mean she was the highest-ranking noble NPC ever? Or is it meaning highest ranking at VoG (is that the case)?

If it is the former, that's not entirely accurate... Earl Jovery, who has appeared many times over the years, is not outranked by the daughter of his southern counterpart - as an example. If it is the latter or another meaning, it should probably be rephrased for some additional clarity on the context.

Poor, poor Portusa sat quietly in the high grass, feeling the strong winds of the bluff swirl the blades around his body, tickling at his face and hands with tiny little taps. An aggressive crashing of a wave into the cliff face below sent a spray of sea mist into the air, chilling the area as Portusa held his old trowel in his hands. Gnarled hands with swollen knuckles, pawed sadly at the well-worn instrument.

He was sad. Poor, poor Portusa was very sad. He wished he hadn’t had all that excitement a few weeks ago. It was nice to meet new people and have all these strangers wanting his attention. He hadn’t had something like that in his life for years and years. Not since he had given up trading when his eyes finally went dark for good.

He missed the woman who gave him a kiss and the smell of the lady who put all that coin in his pocket. He missed the eager voices all wanting to talk to him…him! Portusa!

But now…now he was alone again. Very alone. He missed his friend.

'''“Jasper….”''', he muttered to no one, '''“...everyone needs more mates.”'''

Portusa sat that way for a while. He was out of coin, so no more food or drink was coming his way. He would have complained about his hunger, if he wasn’t so lonely as to have forgotten his lack of food.

He dozed off a while, only to be woken by the sound of someone approaching. A single set of boots, walking slowly down the stony steps that led to the promontory. Portusa tensed up a moment. Hardly anyone ever came here. Especially in the cold fall evening. But his caution melted when the smell of a steaming portion of the local fish stew caught his nose. He tilted his head in the direction of the smell, rubbing his hands in the eager hope that someone had taken mercy on him and brought him some food.

'''“Portusa?”''', came the expected voice, though it wasn’t a voice Portusa recognized.

'''“Yes, mate!,”''' Portusa eagerly answered, the hunger returning with a vengeance, '''“That’s me guv, poor, poor, Portusa.”'''. The practiced phrasing came easily to the old man’s mind, so rehearsed as it was. '''‘Is that stew, mate? I love a bowl of that fine broth, yes I do. Poor old Portusa…he has no broth at all mate, none at all…”'''

The man came closer, his feet moving through the tall grass. The stranger smelled of ozone, thyme and leather. Portusa could get a brief whiff of something else…but he couldn’t quite place it, other than that it seemed wrong somehow.

He stopped caring when the warm bowl was placed into his cold, wet hands. He slurped at it eagerly, the man above him saying nothing. It went down with a wonderful warmth that gave Portusa new vigor.

The man waited politely, taking only a few footsteps in either direction. When Portusa was well into the act of licking the bowl clean, the man spoke again.

'''“You ..know Jasper De Rayne?”'''

'''“Yessir. Jasper was me good mate he was. Toughest old salt there ever was, that one.”''' Portusa scrunched his face up thinking and went on, '''“Ran off with some doxies he did. I don’t blame him, mind, they kissed nice and smelled nice. Proper doxies though. He up and left without a word, he did. Thought he was going to the tavern and then he’d be back in a flash. I don’t blame him, no sir I don’t. But he could have at least come back when had his fill of the doxies.”'''

The man’s steps brought him close to Portusa again. Portusa sensed movement and heard the man lower himself into the grass. He took the bowl out of Portusa’s hands and replaced it with a heavy metal object. It was square in shape and Portusa ran his hands over it eagerly to discover its nature.

'''“A...box mate?”'''

'''“I am returning Jasper to you. You are his friend.”'''

Portusa was confused at first and then he felt around the box more. Eagerly pawing at the exterior of the locked container. His mouth turned into a near toothless grin and he wheezed out a childlike laugh.

'''“Is it matey? Is it truly? Me ol’ mate Jasper is back!?”'''

'''“His debts are paid. I trust him to your care.”'''

'''“And right you are matey! Portusa, poor old Portusa is the man for the job, he is! Me and Jasper here are thick as camel’s fleas we is. Shall I take care of him matey? Of course, I will. Just like a good caravaner does, eh? Stay the course. Mind the road and watch yer mates. So, I was and so I will, guv!”'''

As proof, Portusa began immediately digging up a hole to store his friend in, just like Jasper would like it. His trowel worked furiously tossing earth around him with a lack of care as to where it ended up.

Portusa barely registered the sound of footsteps as the man left. He was far too focused on the return of his best friend. Portusa hugged the metal box close like a pet, happier than he had been in years, and then went back to digging a nice snug place for Jasper to get a nap in.

Lord '''Eruien Lithavir Loenthra''' is the Living Canvas and Most Esteemed Representative of [[Ta'Loenthra]], serving the role of emissary and representing Loenthran interests abroad. He is a frequent flirt and popular with many regulars in the Illistim Court. He has often enjoyed the company of [[Naevys Eilstina]] of [[Ta'Nalfein]], in particular while the two were among those emissaries confined to Ta'Illistim as part of the Inquistion into Lady [[Kasendra Malwind]]'s death.

Eruien and [[Callalor Iristil]] Loenthra both arrived in [[Ta'Illistim]] in early [[Lormesta]] 5123 alongside emissaries from the other elven City-States. Their arrival followed a statement from [[Argent Mirror]] [[Myasara]] that she intended to help the Imperial settlers suffering the effects of an extreme winter as they sought to establish the new [[Barony of Darkstone]]. Eruien was among the emissaries sent to meet Lady [[Kasendra Malwind]], using her as a litmus test to determine if the other City-States would also lend their support or if they would instead break from supporting Ta'Illistim's efforts, either directly or indirectly. During an initial court session with the Argent Mirror, both Eruien and Callalor appeared to play a game of one-upmanship, each professing that they were ''the'' Most Esteemed Representative of the Loenthra. Ultimately he and the other emissaries stated that they would remain in Ta'Illistim for about a month to better get to know Kasendra and to better understand why Ta'Illistim felt it was important to aid the new Imperial Barony.

Eruien took part in a variety of outings during the next month. He and [[Fennelis Asja]] of [[Ta'Ardenai]] participated in an outing to [[Cysaegir]]. He led an art art workshop in the [[Veythorne Manor]] gardens and explained what his role of Living Canvas was, then joined in on a tour of [[Caeruil Atelier]]'s art school. He and several other dignitaries toured the [[Ilyan Syndicate]]'s Illithien Aerie, including Fennelis, Naevys, Mistress [[Leisette]], Lord Legionnaire Commander [[Jaranzair Nashal Vaalor]] of [[Ta'Vaalor]], [[Aertinus Avelleur]] of the Ta'Illistim [[Sapphire Guard]], and Argent Mirror Myasara.

A farewell ball was organized for all of the emissaries in early Fashanos 5123, which Eruien attended. Kasendra was found dead toward the end of the ball. All of the delegates, including Eruien, were effectively placed on house arrest within the Ta'Illistim Keep as an Inquisition into Kasendra's death began. Eruien was among those who [[Nations on the Brink - 2023-03-16 - Ta'Illistim Interview Session 3 (log)#Eruien Lithavir|were interviewed as part of the Inquisition]] in Charlatos 5123.

[[File:Odelgarde Brindlestraff2.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Image of Odelgarde Brindlestraff portrayed by the player of Meliyara on MidJourney.]]

'''Odelgarde Brindlestraffe''' is a Magister with the [[Hall of Mages]] specializing in weather magic. She has a preference for simple names or descriptors, and has a matter-of-fact and no-nonsense demeanor.

Odelgarde helped Mistress [[Grenhal]] treat Baron [[Dunrith Malwind]]'s wet lung illness when he became ill for a prolonged period of time in late 5122.

In early [[Lormesta]] 5123, she [[North By Northwest - 2023-01-07 - Supply Run (log)|helped coordinate bringing supplies north]] from [[Vornavis]] to the new [[Barony of Darkstone]] to aid the settlers who were trying to survive the extreme winter weather conditions. The supplies had been collected at Lady [[Athalia Malwind]]'s behest after hearing of the settlers' plight.

Odelgarde was [[Observations of a Magister 1 - Odelgarde 01.5123|present when Athalia met with Solhaven's merchants]] to convince them to [[Observations of a Magister 2 - Odelgarde 01.5123|change some of their pricing practices]] in order to promote greater trade.

Still aiding Grenhal with the Baron's illness by using her skill with weather to remove moisture from his bedchambers, [[Was it Time? (Vignette)|Odelgarde overheard Athalia and Grenhal talking]] about the need to finally send for [[Salnim Malwind]] to return to Vornavis in early [[Fashanos]]. Odelgarde was shocked to learn of the old healer's betrayal when Grenhal attacked both Lady [[Sayilla Javilerre]] and Steward [[Jarnsaixa]]. She later witnessed Captain [[Gurbah]] [[NotB - Chapter 1 Finale (Vignette)|interrogate the pirate captured]] shortly after Grenhal's attack.

After the death of Lady [[Kasendra Malwind]], Odelgarde and Captain [[Kimrella de'Naut]] [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03.07.2023|met the elven ship carrying Kasendra's remains]] back to Vornavis in early [[Charlatos]], in spite of the actions of Harbormaster [[Wilhard]] to prevent it from docking. The next evening, after a court session led by Athalia, Odelgarde spoke with attendees in the vestibule of Vornavis Keep, [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03.08.2023|relaying what she was permitted to share]] about Salnim's presence in Ta'Illistim, Emperor Aurmont's plans for Kasendra's mourning rites, the illness plaguing Baron Dunrith, and the injury that Jarnsaixa had sustained. Some present offered their perspectives and advice regarding both the Baron and Jarnsaixa. Several days later, Odelgarde met with the Solhaven healer Sargassa alongside several adventurers to [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03.13.2023|further discuss the nature of what was afflicting]] the Baron and Jarnsaixa and provided samples to those interested in trying to find a cure.

'''Sayilla Javilerre''' was a rising star and emissary of [[Ta'Illistim]] and in recent years frequently represented [[Argent Mirror]] [[Myasara]] abroad in matters of diplomatic importance. She was the neice of Lord Commander [[Murstyr Javilerre]] of the [[Sapphire Guard]]. Her cousins included [[Master of Lore|Loremaster]] [[Caylio Javilerre]] who was Myasara's royal husband, and [[Hycinthia Javilerre]], a disgraced Handmaiden who plotted against the Argent Mirror and ultimately caused Caylio's death. The [[Javilerre]] family of Illistim is one of its most prominent, with many of its members finding service within the Sapphire Guard. It also is very close to a number of families among the [[Vaalor]]. During Sayilla's memorial service, Lord Legionnaire Commander [[Jaranzair Nashal Vaalor]] wistfully reminesced about a child-aged Sayilla running through the halls of his home alongside his grandchildren when Murstyr and his family visited. Sayilla was attacked at sea on [[Fashanos]] 7, 5123, and is presumed dead.

After the destruction of [[Talador]] in 5116, word slowly traveled east to the Illistim court that its refugees were in need of relief, and concerned citizens petitioned the Argent Mirror to offer aid. While there had been a number of local relief efforts, largely spearheaded by [[Kasendra Chandrennin]] of [[Aldora]], additional help was welcomed. Following the disappearance of one of the Argent Mirror's delegates sent to coordinate aid for the Talador relief efforts, [[5118-08-19 - Ta'Illistim - Lady Rohese is Missing - Delegation Meeting|Myasara appointed Sayilla to serve as her emissary]] to the [[Turamzzyrian Empire]]. Sayilla traveled to Solhaven to meet directly with Baron [[Dunrith Malwind]], as most of the relief effort coordination was based out of [[Vornavis]]. She secured airship docking rights in [[Solhaven]] to better facilitate transfer of supplies from Ta'Illistim for the relief efforts. She also met Kasendra, and the two began to forge a friendship and to foster positive relations between their respective nations. Sayilla later shared that she highly respected Kasendra, naming her an inspiration for her efforts to aid the unfortunate.

Baron Dunrith was so impressed by Sayilla's diplomacy that he shared the ongoing efforts with Emperor [[Aurmont Anodheles]], who agreed to open discussions with the Argent Mirror. After some correspondence between them, Emperor Aurmont and the Argent Mirror agreed to meet in person to discuss future aid and to sign a treaty that would declare a mutual respect and friendship between their sovereign nations. This treaty became known as the [[Valley of Gold]] accord, named after the valley in which it was held in [[Lumnea]] 5119. Sayilla was [[Valley of Gold - 2019-06-22 - Treaty Ceremony (log)|among those dignitaries present]] at the Valley of Gold to witness signing of the treaty. Like [[Orelwen Greyvael]] and some of the other [[Handmaidens to the Argent Mirror]], Sayilla was poisoned by touching a painting from artist [[Paerys Velethuil]], though she made a full recovery within a few weeks.

Sayilla spent a year in the courts of [[Ta'Ardenai]] between 5120 and 5121, serving as emissary on behalf of Illistim interests. During her time, she stayed with [[Ysaeril]]'s maternal Ostrylae Ardenai family.

In [[Ivastaen]] 5121, Sayilla traveled to [[Icemule Trace]] on behalf of the Argent Mirror to attend a meeting held in the town's [[Clovertooth Hall]] about the ongoing threat of a large flying gnomish weapon called the [[:Category:Flight of the Manticore|Manticore]]. Representatives from a variety of towns, cities, and nations were present, and many of them expressed differing views of what the best course of action should be regarding the potential threat. Sayilla said that the weapon should be destroyed, and that the Argent Mirror would look kindly upon Icemule trace if the Mirror were to know that the lands were safe.

In early 5122, the Argent Mirror announced a diplomatic exchange with [[Tamzyrr]] to stay in the Sun Throne's court. Two women were under consideration, and Sayilla was ultimately chosen for the role on Olaesta 11. Her counterpart from the past efforts leading to the Valley of Gold treaty, Kasendra, now Kasendra [[Malwind]], had already been [[Kasendra Malwind/saved posts|invited to the Ta'Illistim court]] with her husband [[Salnim Malwind |Salnim]] a week earlier. The exchange of both diplomats was intended to foster positive relations between the two nations. While in Tamzyrr, Steward [[Jarnsaixa]] was appointed as Sayilla's personal bodyguard to ensure her safety. Sayilla expressed fondness for Jarnsaixa, comparing the Steward's temperament to that of her uncle, Murstyr. Murstyr himself played a role in Jarnsaixa's appointment.

Nearly a year into her service as emissary in the Sun Throne's court, Sayilla [[Lady Sayilla's Escort Mission|arranged for an overland trip]] north out of Tamzyrr to see additional regions of the Empire. Lasting a weekend in [[Lormesta]] 5123, the overland trip departed from [[River's Rest]] in [[Torre]] and followed the Pilgram's Road, an old route that dated back to the [[Kannalan Empire]].

Sayilla met a number of the noble families during her overland trip. Lieutenant [[Kansom Baylor]] of the [[Fairport]] Guard welcomed and escorted Sayilla to meet Count [[Clarence Claybourne]] of [[Torre]]. [[Eylna Villaune]], daughter of the Baron of [[Oire]], met Sayilla as her party arrived near [[New Myssar]] and arranged for Sayilla to meet with her father. After reaching [[Brisker's Cove]] in [[Seareach]], Sayilla and Jarnsaixa traveled by sea north to [[Wehnimer's Landing]], [[2023-01-20 - Sayilla Visits Wehnimer's Landing (log)|where the locals welcomed her]]. Sayilla had requested to tour some of the northern lands before returning south to Tamzyrr by way of Vornavis. She shared that she wished to learn some of the local customs, meet its people, and find a level of respect with them. There, she and Jarnsaixa also revealed a project that she had been working on, which was a memorial to two recently departed figures of prominence within the Empire, Duke [[Bannon Chandrennin]] of [[Aldora]] and Baron [[Spensor Caulfield]] of [[Bourth]]. She had artwork commissioned for the memorial pavilion. She described Duke Bannon as a good man, and she appreciated getting to know him through his daughter, Kasendra.

Following the death of Kasendra while attending an official function in the Ta'Illistim Keep in early [[Fashanos]] 5123, a number expressed concern for Sayilla's safety, especially as she was so far from home. King Qalinor himself [[Ta'Vaalor/Vignettes/A Request for Remand|offered his specialized bandons]] to the Argent Mirror to safely retrieve her from the Empire should Myasara feel it was necessary. In a tragic twist, those offers for aid proved prescient but ultimately ineffective.

Sayilla was in Vornavis when news of Kasendra's death broke, and she read aloud the message for Kasendra's husband, [[Salnim Malwind]], and his sister, [[Athalia Malwind]]. Jarnsaixa immediately expressed concern for Sayilla's safety. A voyage to convey Sayilla back to safety in Tamzyrr was arranged to take place several nights later. However, tragedy struck again. While aboard Captain [[Kimrella de'Naut]]'s vessel, Starseeker, [[Niatha]], posing as an aged healer named [[Grenhal]] who had been attending to Baron Dunrith and his family for decades, appeared in the captain's quarters and attacked. [[The Kiss of Dawn (Vignette)|Niatha attacked Sayilla and threw her from a window into the frigid winter ocean]]. Jarnsaixa [[NotB - Chapter 1 Finale (Vignette)|was also injured by Niatha]] before the woman escaped, suffering her own wounds. Some aboard the ship [[Elanthian Gems|sensitive to the touch of death]] recognized that Sayilla had died in the ensuing chaos. As adventurers on deck sought to illuminate the area to find Sayilla, a pirate ship attacked and was eventually repelled, but neither Sayilla nor her attacker were found and both were later presumed dead. One of the pirates was captured and brought back to Vornavis for questioning but ultimately revealed little of use.

Sayilla's [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/2023-03-25 - Sayilla's Memorial Service (log)|memorial service]] was held on [[Charlatos]] 25, 5123, in the [[Solace of the Seaborne]], a memorial garden that the Illistim had been built for the Ashrim and those lost at sea. It was attended by a large number of dignitaries, citizens, and guests.

A number of ships spent the following months searching for any sign of Sayilla. On [[Charlatos]] 30, one of them pulled a waterlogged boot from the ocean that appeared to match the pair that Sayilla had worn on the eve of the fateful attack. Several days later on [[Olaesta]] 5, a commune was held in [[River's Rest]], led by [[Omiko]], a Priestess of [[Charl]]. The visions that answered confirmed Sayilla's death by drowning. Some months later, [[Adresin Ostrylae]] arrived in Ta'Illistim, outraged that no one had solved her murder. He quickly left for [[Solhaven]] to appeal for swift justice at the baronial [[Vornavis]] court, but left the city the morning before the inexplicably delayed court session. Following the court session, a seaborne ankle-boot believed to belong to Sayilla was surrendered to her next of kin, Lord [[Murstyr Javilerre]], via [[Mail system|Elanthian Post]].

At the conclusion of [[:Category:Nations on the Brink|Nations on the Brink]], Sayilla is revealed to have survived the attack on her and is in attendance when [[the Kasendra Accords]] are signed in [[Ta'Nalfein]].

==Background==
On [[Koaratos]] 18, 5119, Sayilla was [[The Layman's Guide to Elven Heraldry#Significant Jewels|awarded a diamond for her personal crest]], recognizing the leadership she demonstrated in diplomatic efforts leading up to the Valley of Gold treaty.
<pre{{log2}}>
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla Javilerre Illistim."
Myasara says, "Please step forward."
Sayilla takes a few steps in a small circle.
Sayilla nods.
Sayilla curtsies to Myasara.
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla, since coming our court, you have shown your loyalty. You have been our voice here at home and in lands far away. You were an important part of the delegation that we sent to Vornavis. You spoke to the Baron and his son on our behalf and helped negotiate our aid to the Empire."
Myasara says, "For your work on our behalf, we wish to award you with an elven jewel that will be displayed in your personal crest. A diamond rimmed in gold for your leadership in serving House Illistim."
Sayilla says, "Thank you Argent Mirror. I will always strive to serve you and our House."
Sayilla curtsies to Myasara.
Myasara smiles at Sayilla.
Sayilla flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.
</pre>

On [[Fashanos]] 1, 5120 at court...
<pre{{log2}}>
Myasara says, "Our beloved Lady Sayilla Javilerre Illistim. She who has served us at foreign courts and has worked to build our relationship with the Empire."
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla will be traveling to Ta'Ardenai to live with Lady Ysaeril's family."
Myasara says, "She will be fostered in their court."
Myasara says, "And bring our traditions and knowledge to their lands and return with the same."
Myasara says, "Our hope is that we will draw closer as Elven Houses through this exchange."
Sayilla says, in Elven, "Thank you for all of the well wishes."
</pre>

On [[Olaesta]] 11, 5122 at court...
<pre{{log2}}>
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla, please step forward."
Sayilla walks slowly towards the throne and lowers herself in a deep curtsy.
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla, you will be traveling as our representative."
Myasara says, "We feel your experience in the Empire makes you the perfect candidate."
Myasara says, "Lady Sayilla will be journeying to Tamzyrr and will be serving in the Imperial Court."
Myasara says, "The Emperor and Empress are both looking forward to her arrival and getting to know her, and more about the Elven people."
</pre>

On [[Olaesta]] 5, 5123, during a commune to determine Sayilla's fate...
<pre{{log2}}>
A feminine voice whispers in your ear, "I shall guide him."
Kynsella murmurs a recitation to Niima under her breath. However, given its lilting, rhyming nature, it is apparently either a child's rhyme or perhaps a sailor's.
For a moment, your vision returns as you watch the offerings across the altar shake with each boom of thunder. Another flash of lightning bathes the area in bluish-white as rain threatens to destroy it all.
Your vision blurs through the torrential rains and you see an elven silhouette curtained within the droplets.
You see Sayilla, staring defiantly forward. A hooded figure lunges at her, her arm blocking the blow as her body turns towards the open window.
You feel the fall as the cold watery depths steal the air within your lungs. You attempt to regain your senses as your legs kick upward, fighting the churning waters as you breach the water's surface, gulping air as your arms keep you afloat.
You open your mouth as you try to call out to the storm-tossed ship, but no one can hear your cries as you are battered over and over by the waves, the water overwhelming you as the fatigue settles in. You feel your form sinking down into depths as you desperately kick your legs once again, loosening your ankle-boot in the process.
You gaze up at the waters around you, cloudy with ribbons of sanguine. Your resolve returns as you fight upwards, always upwards, your arms arcing widely as you push towards the surface. Air once again returns to your lungs as you begin to paddle, your destination unknown but you paddle nonetheless. You attempt to wipe the sting of saltwater from your eyes as you move, the horizon only a short swim away, but the waves continuously batter your tired body, the exhaustion consuming you as you release your hold...and you descend once again into the cold, dark waters.
You notice Shteve open his mouth as if screaming, but hear nothing.
You hear Omiko's quiet voice within your ear, "The Stormfather has provided his answer, now we must search for our own."
Ivybell gasps for breath, tears filling her eyes. She and Merryvine cling tightly to one another.
Shteve flails around in the group, looking remarkably like he's drowning on land.
The feminine voice whispers into your other ear, "And I will provide mine."
The sky begins to fill with huge clouds, dark and grey on the bottom, pale and white atop, their puffy crowns ascending toward the heavens.
The faint scent of wild roses fills the air as the waters gently rise, the vortex swirling to reveal the blue-tinged form of Galaytea.
Shifting slightly, her eyes hooded as she gazes about, Galaytea pauses at the edge of the beach with one foot in the waters of Maelstrom Bay. There is a hesitancy to her as she stands in the moonlight, sheets of water dripping from her form.

<pre{{log3}}>Enswathed in lengths of turquoise-dyed linen, the human matriarch stands tall amongst the citizens of the fishing village, her shell-laden bracelets tinkling alongside the deft movements of her arms as she turns to observe the area. Omiko's age is subtly hinted by the faint greying hair in stark contrast to the thin tan skin, though her athletic frame adds to her youthful countenance. A series of sun-faded tattoos decorate Omiko's arms, the once colorful ink depicting a myriad of seafaring creatures.</pre>

== Ambients ==
<pre{{log2}}>The lithe woman gazes up towards the sky, grasping at a spherical driftwood totem draped around her neck. She murmurs a small prayer towards the roiling sky.

An aging wise woman suddenly paces back and forth, her lips moving as she counts off tasks that need to still be handled on both hands.

Wind kicks up the sodden sand, sending it flying through the air towards an aging wise woman, who squints and leans into the gust.

A growl of thunder ripples through the air, causing an aging wise woman to lift her face to the sky and say, "We hear you. We are working on it."

A group of village builders trudges through the area, pulling carts of wood and stone. They briefly converse with the matriarch before wandering to the northwest.

An aging wise woman reaches up and gathers her driftwood totem in her hands, placing a gentle kiss upon its worn surface before returning it to the folds of her tunic.

Quiet save for the rain and random rumbles of thunder, an aging wise woman watches the distant beaches with small signs of anxiety.

Several men approach an aging wise woman and launch into an intense conversation as they gesture to the northwest. Listening intently, she nods a few times but then says, "We must try all means. Keep at the pier. I know a commodore that would be very willing to use it and help us. Let the shipwrights ply their trades and you do yours." Narrowing their gazes, but nodding in compliance, they head back the way they came.</pre>

==The Acts of Omiko==
Introduced in 5119, Omiko is the wise woman that came to be the leader of those that took shelter in the fishing village. She implored adventurers to help build homes for those under her care.

In 5120, Omiko collected the species that adventurers found and transformed them into devices that could be used to push back [[Ghezresh]]'s influence on the water with the hopes that it would help her to get them safely off the island. Towards the end of the festival, she parted the waters and adventurers fought at her side against that tide of Ghezresh's minions as others instilled [[Charl]]'s power into monoliths. Once the task was completed, the tide washed back in to cover them up. She is hoping that it will be enough to free them.

In 5121, Omiko ran the quest: [[A Tale of Survival]].

Steward '''Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr''' (pronounced Yourn-sayk-suh) has served the [[Sun Throne]] for many years, including on the [[Demonwall]]. She also trained with the [[Nalfein]], studying poisons among other things. She is the first female Imperial Blade in history.

In [[Lormesta]] 5123, she was Lady [[Sayilla Javilerre]]'s bodyguard during their overland trip between [[River's Rest]] in [[Torre]] to [[Brisker's Cove]] in [[Seareach]]. She continued to accompany Sayilla [[2023-01-20 - Sayilla Visits Wehnimer's Landing (log)|as they sailed north]] to [[Wehnimer's Landing]], and then traveled by land south again back to [[Vornavis]]. She took her role as bodyguard seriously, intervening when those hostile to the Empire or the traveling party were present and inspecting anything that others wanted to give to Sayilla beforehand.

Following the death of Lady [[Kasendra Malwind]] in [[Fashanos]] 5123, Jarnsaixa accompanied Sayilla aboard Captain [[Kimrella de'Naut]]'s ship Starseeker as they embarked at night from Vornavis to [[Tamzyrr]]. While en route, [[Niatha]], posing as the aged healer [[Grenhal]], attacked both Sayillla and Jarnsaixa as they were in the captain's quarters. Sayilla was thrown overboard, but Jarnsaixa managed to stab Niatha before she vanished. As adventurers on deck sought to illuminate the area to find Sayilla, a pirate ship attacked and was eventually repelled, but neither Sayilla nor her attacker were found and both were presumed dead. One of the pirates was captured and brought back to Vornavis for questioning, while Jarnsaixa boarded another ship to continue the search for Sayilla through the night. The next morning, as she sought to turn herself over for failure to uphold her duty to protect Sayilla, she finally realized [[The Kiss of Dawn (Vignette)|that her injury also carried a poison]].

Since then, her wound has festered, though Magister [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe]] has [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03-08-2023|sought to find a remedy]] for it, occaisionally [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03-13-2023|updating adventurers]] on her status. When one showed Mistress [[Leisette]] a sample taken from Jarnsaixa, Leisette remarked that the [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03-15-2023|sample seemed very familiar]] to her. It had also appeared in festering wounds that had covered a man fished out of the ocean along the Imperial coast a bit over a month earlier, coinciding approximately with the attack on Sayilla. While Jarnsaixa's health was reported to be slowly improving, Lady [[Athalia Malwind]] shared news that Emperor [[Aurmont]] intended to [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#03.19.2023|have Jarnsaixa remain in Vornavis]] under care of an individual designated by the Throne until the matter of Kasendra's death is resolved, and only then would she be turned over to the [[Sapphire Guard]] of [[Ta'Illistim]] to answer for Sayilla's death.

Several months later, in late summer 5123, Jarnsaixa shared that she was now once again fit to be called Steward, which [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/recaps#08-10-2023|coincided with the appearance]] of a mysterious "friend" by her side. In addition, through extended research and help from Odelgarde, librarian [[Tasytha]], and adventurers, her wound from Niatha was starting to recover.

==Appearance==
<pre{{log3}}>
You see Jarnsaixa Vargrdoittr the Bodyguard to the Sunthrone of the Turamzzyrian Empire.
She appears to be a Giantman of the Grishknel Clan.
She is tall and has lean, well-muscled form. She appears to be mature. She has round, slightly hooded and green-tinted hazel eyes and bronze skin. She has waist-length, smooth sun-lightened, chocolate brown hair twisted into a multitude of warbraids, alternating thin and thick as they hug her skull and sporadically banded with gold-wired coils. She has a muscled face, a broken nose and a stern countenance.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a decorative gold aventail incised with symbols of rank and office, a knotwork bronze brooch, a gold-banded leather back sheath, a crimson-panel boiled leather bodice over a heavy imperial tartan arisaid with a thick woolen chemise sporting crimson ribbon-gathered sleeves underneath, a dark red suede belt, a sun-embossed dark suede pouch, a faenor-capped brown leather sheath, and a pair of tassetted knee-knigh socks under some sturdy calf-high boots tightly laced in rawhide.

A glass-like sheen covers the obsidian-feathered body of the large corvid, his plumage reflecting metallic shades of lapis and jade washed in ebony. Beady eyes of kohl black gaze observantly at everything in his path, his sharpened onyx beak imperceptibly opening and closing as though murmuring to himself. A loosely knotted cravat of burgundy silk encircles his thin neck, nestling into his plumage.

__TOC__
|}<noinclude>[[Category:TOC templates|{{PAGENAME}}]]</noinclude>'''Myasara Illistim''' is the most recent post-[[Lanenreat]] [[Argent Mirror]] of the [[elf|Elven]] city-state of [[Ta'Illistim]]. The successor to the pragmatist [[Irinara Illistim]] who was known for strategic neutrality and power politics in foreign affairs, her reign has been marked with a shift to idealism, with a striking degree of egalitarianism well beyond even [[Illistim]] custom. It is regarded as a minority ideology that happens to be held by the high Illistim elite. Formal relations have been opened with numerous traditionally "lesser" races, including a [[Faendryl]] embassy, as well as the opening of trade routes west of the [[Dragonspine]]. Whether this was foolish or visionary remains to be seen.

Myasara has reigned during a time of radical changes in [[Elanith]]. There have been several world ending threats in the past few decades, as well as a sudden emboldened propensity of the Dark Gods to wreak havoc. Her aid to [[Alusius]] resulted in the anchoring of the [[Elemental Confluence]]. Her Vaaloran counterpart [[Tyrnian]] was assassinated, as well as a rapid turnover of Elven monarchs. Her [[Hycinthia Javilerre|sister-in-law]] was sentenced to death for regicide in the death of her royal husband. She was the ruler when the [[Aelotoi]] arrived seeking asylum from the [[kiramon]], which led to the shocking expansion of citizenship to non-Elves in the city-states. Her critics often regard her as mercurial or weak, most notably her foreign policy with the Faendryl. She is regarded as by far the most liberal ruler in Illistim history.

Accending to the Peacock Throne in 4,878 Modern Era ''(53,985 Illistim)'', Myasara has ruled for nearly 240 years, the vicinity of the traditional retirement age for non-dynastic monarchs. Whether she has plans for stepping down any time in the very near future is unknown. She is the niece of [[Meachreasim Illistim]], the famous historian of [[Elanthia]] and First [[Master of Lore]], perhaps owing much of her world-view to his learning. She was also a childhood friend of the recently ascendant [[Eamon Ardenai|King Eamon]] of [[Ardenai]]. The influence of this relationship along with Eamon's marriage with Loenthran royalty, and the pre-existent alliance with Vaalor, may have contributed significantly to the universal decision of the Elven monarchs regarding the Aelotoi and their unprecedented extension of citizenship rights.

Myasara has used a variety of official titles since trade with the western frontier was established in 5101, including ''Her Majesty,'' ''Queen Myasara,'' and ''Her Highness Queen'' until 5110. Traditional Illistim styling of ''Argent Mirror'' was reinforced from 5110 onward, and she adopted a full, official title of ''Argent Mirror Myasara Illistim, her Illumination'' around 5116.

'''Formal Opening Of Relations With United City-States, 5/31/5101'''
<div {{log}}>
You see Ambassador Anhgrim Lewthoraen the Elf Troubadour.<br>
He appears to be in his 130's, has shoulder length, wavy black hair, green eyes, and tanned skin.<br>
He is in good shape.<br>
He is wearing a pair of brown leather boots, a soft tooled brown leather tunic trimmed in shimmarglin agates, a dark leather pouch, an enruned golden circlet, and a brown velvet cloak trimmed in shimmering golden glimaerstones.

"I am Anhgrim Lewthoraen, special ambassador from her majesty Queen Myasara of House Illistim."

Anhgrim recites:

"I bring you her message. Please, pay attention, for I shant be bothered to repeat it."

Anhgrim recites:

"Over the last three years, we have undertaken some exploration and trade with your peoples. It has proven to be... shall we say... profitable to us."

Anhgrim recites:

"After careful consideration, we have decided that it would be in the best interests of the [[United City-States]] to further these relationships. As a showing of good will, we have sent scouts to spy out trails through the wilderness. In cooperation with the dwarves of Kharag 'doth Dzulthu, we have arranged travel through the very heart of the [[DragonSpine]]."

Anhgrim recites:

"By decree of her majesty Queen Myasara of House Illistim, and with the collective approval of the United City-States, [[Cadhla Loenthra|Queen Cadhla]] of the [[Loenthra]], [[King Tyrnian]] of the [[Vaalor]], [[King Eamon]] of the [[Ardenai|Ardenais]], and [[Rhosyn Nalfein|Queen Rhosyn]] of the [[Nalfein]], we hereby declare our borders open for trade and travel."

'''The Faendryl Demon Summoning Incident, 12/4/5103'''
<div {{log}}>
12/4/2003

I address my people, the guests within our lands, and the [[Elven Nations|Nations]] as a whole this day with a heavy heart. As most of you know, a horde of [[lesser demon|demonic]] creatures was unleashed upon our Shining City, Ta'Illistim. But who is to blame for these atrocities visited upon us? The answer is obvious -- the Faendryl. Long have we warned them against these heinous practices of magic, and long have we been content to let them be in their city in the Wastes, far away from our ancestral homelands. This time is no longer -- the Faendryl must answer for their crimes against House Illistim's sovereignty and the horror inflicted upon the innocents who call the Shining City their home. Their careless inquiries into the demonic valences have once again brought great tragedy unto the world.

We have in our custody he who is responsible for this -- one [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl|Rhythus Veranthe]] of the Faendryl. He has pleaded the innocence of his 'nation' and takes sole responsibility for what occurred -- but we are not satisfied with this. For what is one rotten pomegranate if the tree that bore it still flowers and spreads its tainted fruit amongst us? We expect the Faendryl as a whole to answer for this, for it was in their academies this boy was educated, it was their culture which formed his reckless and dangerous attitude, and it was their studies of the abominable and forbidden magic that allowed him to rip open a portal and shed the blood of our people.

We of House Illistim demand reparations from the Faendryl in apology, and we insist that they detail the practices this boy went through to Illistim's royal scholars so that it might never occur within our provinces again. Know that we will not be hesitant in retaliation for these crimes against our people if they do not cooperate forthwith.

Know that we will dispense justice upon this boy; a trial shall be conducted in the private courts of our fair city. I ask those who were witness to this event first-hand to aid in our quest for a just and swift trial -- inquisitors shall soon be walking the streets, looking for any information regarding what occurred. Your statements will help us bring this boy to justice cleanly and efficiently.

- Queen Myasara of House Illistim.

'''Formal Recognition of the Faendryl Ambassador, 5112'''

<div {{log}}>
[Ta'Illistim Keep, The Argentate]<br>
The airy chamber is rectangular, its ceiling a soaring vault of reflective silver-gilt mosaic. Beneath the glassy mirror is an open expanse of polished stone flooring and a rostrum, the surface raised three stairsteps above the rest of the room. Two doors, mistwood paneled in silver plating, mark the long walls of the hall, and an immense arch stands opposite the platform. You also see a guardsman.<br>
Also here: Nusar, Shilarra, High Inquisitor Brinret, the Argent Mirror's attendants, Myasara who is sitting, [[Ardtin Illistim|Lady Ardtin]], Fintan, [[Caylio Javilerre|Caylio]], [[Seneschal|Lord Aeriadrn]], Gasen, Seeress Ephelysse, Laethia, Mithogras, Lady Naralin, Halgur, Eulogia, Fjalar, Lady Amyia, Nilandia, Lord Murstyr, Ambassador Tredohal

Myasara says, "At this time, we would like to formally acknowledge Lord Ambassador [[Tredohal Hashier Faendryl]]."

Myasara says, "He is here in our city to occupy the new embassy."

[[Murstyr Javilerre|Murstyr]] scowls.

A voice cries out from the crowd, "You have brought death inside our city! She conspires with demon conjurers!"

Myasara frowns.

Murstyr gazes in wonder at his surroundings

The guards quickly look for the person responsible for the disruption.

Myasara frowns slightly, her eyes full of sadness.

Myasara says, "I... we will work with whoever we must to assure the prosperity of our people and their city."

Angry voices yell from outside the keep, "The Argent Mirror is weak. She hands us to the murderers of our brethren."

Myasara gasps.

Myasara quickly composes herself.

Murstyr motions and a pair of guards leave to investigate.

'''Refusal To Aid Western Elanith With Mitigating Dangers, 5115'''
<div {{log}}>
Speaking to Myasara, Lylia says, "It is an honor to see the Argent Mirror once more shining bright in all its beauty, and I come to you to ask that you shine this illumination to the West."

Myasara blinks.

Myasara says, "There is no help for the west."

Lylia says, "[[Flow storms|Mana storms]] surround [[Melgorehn's Reach|Melgorehn's reach]], and the [[Church of Koar|Koarites]] from the [[Turamzzyrian Empire|Sun Throne]] seek to unravel its mysteries as ardently as they can."

Myasara says, "No amount of light I can shine can penetrate that dark place."

Myasara says, "The west."

Myasara says, "Who imprisoned my husband."

Myasara says, "Killed my messenger."

Lylia firmly says, "An atrocity."

Myasara says, "Imprisoned my scholars sent in peace."

Lylia says, "One that should not go without punishment -- but one that you may seek some small recompense for, in time, or so it is my most fervent hope."

Myasara says, "And allowed them to be killed."

Lylia places a hand over her heart.

Myasara frowns.

Legaci squints at Lylia.

Myasara asks, "You dare talk to me of illuminating the west and its troubles?"

Myasara says, "Each of those lives was a light send to the west."

Lylia softly says, "I would not presume. I would, however, suggest that you not let these losses be in vain."

Myasara says, "The west put them out."

Lylia says, "It was my concern that this darkness could spread to the east."

Myasara says, "No, we do not have enough light in all of the [[Elven Nations]] to bring illumination to that place."

Lylia smoothly says, "Forgive my importuning on this, then, a most celebratory evening otherwise."

Myasara says, "I understand we overlooked one very last petitioner."

Lylia smiles serenely and bows, her expression an unchanging mask as she steps back to join the assembly.

'''Aid to Alusius Which Led to [[Elemental Confluence]], 3/23/5115'''
<div {{log}}>
Citizens of the Shining City,

We have heard the words of those called Aadyra and [[Alusius]], and we have allowed them to speak to the [[Elemancers]], [[Masters of Lore|Loremasters]], and [[Artificers]] of our fair city. After much discussion, all agree that their findings are correct as are their solutions. We have commanded those of magic and lore to help in this enterprise and give aid where they can. We have asked for volunteers to travel to the frozen lands of [[Icemule Trace|Icemule]] this Niiman to further discuss progress being made. After the events of recent years, we cannot command any of our people to risk such a journey. In the meantime, we ask our people to assist in filling the [[Gleaming multicolored soulstone|soulstones]] in order to aid the [[Aelotoi]].

'''Concerning afflicted refugees admitted from the west, 9/26/5116'''
<div {{log}}>A page dressed in Illistim livery steps forward and reads from a pale ivory parchment:

Hear ye! Hear Ye!

By order of Argent Mirror Myasara Illistim, her Illumination,

In light of the terrible persecution of the half elven in the west, we have decided to tolerate the refugees in our lands and command them to take residence in the area surrounding the sanctuary of Cysaegir. Due to the terrible disease they have been plagued with, they will be confined to the area around that city and to the south and west. Until we have knowledge of this disease, how it spreads, and if it is contagious to our population, they shall not be allowed to travel north of this area.

Any refugees found north of Cysaegir will be returned to the sanctuary. Anyone caught assisting in their travels out of this quarantined area will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Our priority and concern is first for our House and the Shining City. However, we will not stop those wishing to give aid and healing from traveling to Cysaegir. But, let it be known, that until we have more information about this disease and how it is contracted, those giving aid may not be allowed back north again. To limit contact with those taken ill, crates and barrels have been placed on the trail to Cysaegir. Supplies and other forms of aid may be deposited in them for the refugees to gather.

So we have spoken, so it shall be.</div>
