Aelotian artisans carefully guard their precise weaving techniques, but rumors circulate that the key to the high quality of their fabrics lies in the design of their uniquely styled fel looms. Flyrsilk is also produced in foliage-inspired patterns, such as branches, thorns, and leaves, which is often preferred by males, though it is frequently worn by both genders. Patternless varieties are usually a single color and are faintly textured with an understated latticed finish.

==The Lost Art of the Rhyme Royal==

<pre{{log2}}>
Ardtin says, "We will begin with lady Elaejia and Lord Aendir, if you will turn your ear their way."

You incline your head.

Aendir smiles.

Orelwen glances between Aendir and yourself.

You set about preparing yourself to be as presentable as possible.

Speaking to you, Aendir asks, "Perhaps explain why we are presenting this, dear Cousin?"

You nod at Aendir.


You pleasantly begin, "My dear cousin," she pauses, glancing at Aendir, "Obliges me on occasion by spending an afternoon perusing the shelves at the Library Aeis looking for horticultural books."

You say, "Having come from Loenthran lands, the flora's preferred climes here occasionally escape me."

You lightly continue, "Recently though, our attention was diverted by a section of new historical research, because he noticed it made mention of a former Loenthran queen."

You smile at Aendir.

Aendir grins.

You say, "We were quite astonished at what we found, and I do hope that you all will be as intrigued as we were."

Rohese smiles.

Aendir nods in agreement.

Ysaeril turns an inquisitive ear toward you.

Orelwen nods understandingly.


Speaking curiously to Aendir, you ask, "Would you like to present the introduction?"

Aendir nods to you.

Ardtin walks over to the bench and settles down.

Aendir removes a sheet of creamy vellum from in his dark kidskin bag.

Ardtin grunts.

Aendir recites:
"Preface to a sampled selection from the personal papers of Cafainiel Illistim, Argent Mirror between 21,067 and 23,788 Illistim."

Aendir says, "These correspondences between former Argent Mirror Cafainiel Illistim and Queen Siskania Loenthra were written shortly after the reign of Cafainiel began. The documents were discovered during a recent audit of the papers of the Council of Thrones."

Aendir says, "The supposed friction between these two leaders has long been a topic of speculation, but more specific details had been obscured until now."

You smile at Ardtin.

Ardtin grumbles.

Aendir says, "What had been known prior to the discovery of these records was only that Queen Siskania inquired with the Argent Mirror about recompense for fostering some distant Illistimi relations, and that the conversation was heated enough to lead to the eventual establishment of the Council of Thrones."

Ardtin says, "Always."


Aendir says, "This exchange between two rulers shines new light on the relationship between these two noble Houses at the time. Unfortunately for the modern historian, the correspondence ends quite suddenly after the final missive presented below."

Aendir says, "Whether what was discovered is the full account of this exchange is unknown, but the dates coincide roughly with entries in Illistimi treasury records indicating a substantial sum being transferred to Ta Loenthra shortly after the final epistle, earmarked in trust for the famed Dawn Sea Skalds."

You interject, "A famed troupe from Loenthra, a favorite of Siskania."

Aendir says, "According to tradition at the time, the correspondence is written in the poetic form known as Rhyme Royal, and each head of state would have taken considerable time crafting her response to fit the strict structure while capturing the full meaning of her intent."

Aendir nods in agreement to you.

Ysaeril whispers something to Elysia.

Aendir says, "The correspondence begins with a letter from Cafainiel Illistim to Siskania Loenthra, and alternates thereafter between the two, ending with the last known response from Siskania to Cafainiel."

Elysia nods in agreement at Ysaeril.

Aendir says, "- Compiled by Hiraani Gael Illistim, Scholar of House Illistim - 22 Oleasta in the year 5119."

Aendir clears his throat.

Cryheart nods.

Aendir tilts his head slightly, turning his attention to you. He regards you in a measured fashion, collecting his thoughts.

Speaking to you, Aendir asks, "Shall we begin?"

Aendir says, "Here we have the Mirror speaking first."


You recite:
"Our dearest Queen Siskania, bright as garnet,
With crown of poesy, song and amethyst soul's shell,
On even dull days, your light shines incarnate."

You recite:
"The work of weaving suits your soft hands not well,
And whispers sly and cruel bring slight burnish, belle."

Ysaeril gives a short little hum of surprise.

You recite:
"We await assured upon sincere regrets
Tendered hither from thy coronet."

Aendir smiles.

Aendir recites:
"Beloved Reflection, we bid you good word
Of faith and cheer, your grace ever in view.
We trust our Winter's thaw hath not been interred."

Aendir recites:
"With confidence you ought not misconstrue
Our clear intent ne'er meant to be untrue."

Aendir recites:
"For as the Peacock rests ever aground,
The Harpsong riseth clear and pure in sound."

Avawren laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Rohese quietly comments, "Oh my!"

You recite:
"Aground you say but fail to understand,
The peacock's plume looms brighter than a song."

You recite:
"Heard and lost with flowing time's quick sand,
While beauty beheld reigns the heart lifelong."

Taraquin laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

You recite:
"Fleeting too, the wind of speech headstrong
Storms squall'd, beating in vain a marble palace,
Borne with poise, the ill tuned harp's poor coarseness."

You smirk at Aendir.

Aendir mutters under his breath.

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Aendir recites:
"Feather and scroll do not withstand harsh time
Iv'ry tower, silvered glass doth shatter."

Ysaeril clasps her hand over her mouth.

Rohese giggles to herself.

Aendir recites:
"Where word and song doth echo like strong twine
And persist through an age, on shameful matter."

Taraquin chuckles to himself.

Aendir recites:
"One's deeds, while shelved like fine red wine
Ordained to be imbibed with fame or shame.
We take heed of offense, needless blame."

Aendir folds his arms over his chest.

You shake your head.

You recite:
"Indeed we see now, truest color of the harp,
Affinity with Sun's fleeting offspring
Hath made strings plucked ring sour, nay, e'en sharp."

Rohese presses a hand to her chest, inhaling and exhaling slowly.

You recite:
"We pray thee soon recall thy blood, pure flowing
And cleave to East more than to West's keening."

You recite:
"A soothing word, spoke all in softness may
Bring swift end to churlish disarray"

Avawren covers her mouth, then gives a small, discreet cough.

Aendir laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Aendir recites:
"Knowledge, is the key to eternity.
Ware what lies hidden, pain of truth revealed,
Unveiling one's false paternity."

Rohese giggles to herself.

You clasp a hand over your mouth.

Aendir recites:
"Regretful tale, so anxiously concealed.
To Her clear reason, we hath appealed."

Lynaera laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Jossarian chuckles to himself.

Taraquin buries his face in his hands.

Taraquin laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Aendir recites:
"Harp, The Rose, Wyvern, and Leaf.
Word could reach and flood each Fief."

You smile at Aendir.

Taraquin whispers something to Jossarian.

Taraquin chuckles.

Aendir says, "The correspondence either ends here, or further letters have been lost with time."

Ysaeril flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.

Rohese softly exclaims, "Well!"

Aendir says, "We thank the Mirror and her Council for allowing us to present this piece of shared history."

Jossarian winks at Taraquin.
Rohese applauds politely.
Silima applauds politely.
Ardtin says, "Hrm."
Cryheart applauds.
Raeshya applauds.
Maylan applauds loudly.
Avawren applauds politely.
Wolfloner nods.
Rovvigen applauds.
Aendir's bow is graceful, if perfunctory. He follows the bow with a brief nod of his head.
Jossarian nods approvingly.
Rovvigen grins.
Sweetsin applauds.
Beldarran applauds.

Hands moving gracefully, you sink down in a formal curtsy.
Taraquin places a hand over his heart.

Ardtin says, "Mirrors should speak plain... Just say what you mean."

Taraquin applauds warmly.
Bristenn applauds politely.
Jossarian applauds politely.
Lynaera applauds politely.
Miraia applauds.
Kalaine applauds.

Speaking softly to Aendir, Rohese exclaims, "Quite a find!"

Aendir grins at Ardtin.
Ifanna claps her hands together in delight!
Ysaeril nods in agreement at Ardtin.
Aendir put a sheet of creamy vellum in his dark kidskin bag.

Rohese softly says, "Thank you both for sharing such an amazing insight."

Rohese smiles.

Cryheart adopts an agreeable expression.

Ardtin says, "And listen to their elders."

Speaking mildly in Elven to Ardtin, Taraquin agrees, "But of course."

Ardtin grumbles.
Rovvigen agrees with Rohese.
Aendir laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.
Rovvigen hugs Sweetsin.

You say, "I found the double meanings to be quite fascinating, a true artform."

Orelwen says, "I find it rather... fun to discourse in such a poetic manner."

Speaking in Elven, Taraquin bemusedly quips, "Quite a find."

Ardtin says, "Excellently told though."

Aendir graciously says, "Thank you."
Jossarian nods in agreement to you.

Orelwen says, "Even should words get heated, there is a slight romanticism to the words."

Rohese smiles.

Ardtin says, "And a treasure that should be on display in the museum."

You smile at Ardtin.
Silima nods in agreement at Orelwen.
Taraquin nods absently at Orelwen.

Speaking to Orelwen, you agree, "Just so."

Rohese nods in agreement at Ardtin.

Sweetsin agrees with Ardtin.

Ardtin says, "I will talk to them scholars to see about adding it when they finish renovating."

"I was a medic on a ship based out of Loenthra with Yanias a few decades ago. They came to us with immersion foot. I had never heard of anything like it outside of marching armies and even then only in the worst of conditions - walking for days upon days. We were out at sea and conditions were clear. Still confuses me how that could have happened. Where were they walking?"
