*Whistle* What a view...and the water's not bad either. tongue.gif

Moonlit Cove indeed is pretty. Too bad there are a bunch of bandits there messing it up.

Hey, wait a minute. I thought I foiled Molag Bal's plans already...

I really want to see the Aurora Borealis in real life. Such an incredible natural wonder.

Ah, xanmeers. Structures from the coolest, best race in TES, amirite?

What a beautiful group of pictures! I love the fishing one best, because Jerric always thinks of Buffy when he sees a waterfall. That Skyrim sky is gorgeous!

Dear Buffy,

I don’t really write. Easier to speak, face to face. Always easier to read people than words, I find. You understand, yea? Letters like this; be easily tracked and marauded by the wrong crowd, traced back to sender. How it is. How the world runs. How *my* world runs. The works. So had to cough out a pretty coin so a wizard can magick this straight to you. Worth it, I think.

It’s me, by the by.

Ylenno.

Wild elf you met during that disaster of an expedition ‘neath Fort Sutch? One hell of an event, that. Still have nightmares after all these years. Scars that still ache. But we all, each in our own way, vowed to remember to forget what we saw there. Broken promises, broken friendships, everything broken and left to the dust. Easier that way, yeah? Forget and forget. Dunno why I sent you this letter, truth be told. Dunno if you could even remember what I’m talking of. Or who I am. But you’re different. Understood it the moment I finally met you in Anvil.

You know you’re the heroine of the girl-orphans back in that city of ours? Little girl-elves running through the streets of Bravil, calling themselves Bowgirls, hunting vampires and daedra and ne’er-do-wells, wishing to grow up like Daenlin’s celebrity apprentice. Even heard tell that the Mages Guild back home be swamped by a mass of women joining in, a full generation wishing to effect change same way you did. Joyful thing, to see something uplifting in and from Bravil for once. All thanks to you, Hero.

But how are you? You doing okay? Strange, I know, suddenly getting asked that by a stranger you barely remember from years ago but… got no friends in this world of mine, see? Only enemies and subordinates and subordinates that’ll be enemies sooner. Can I call you friend, Buffy? You the only thing that reminds me Bravil ain’t all rotten wood, water and people. I’m tired and stink of war and violence that never ends; this thing of mine sucks the soul dry. Leaves a shell out of you, hollows you out. Can’t do anything else though. Can’t run away too; too much blood for me to just up and start over.

Feel pathetic writing this now. Like I’m a duke in distress calling out to you for help.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I need you to come save me the same way you saved Kvatch.

Confused. Tired. Numb. Wordless and godless and alone. Blood and teeth and skulls and the wailing cries, always the wailing cries.

Help.

How do you go on?

Ylenno, of spiked hair and fellow half-breed!

What a welcome surprise to hear from you. You honor me with your kind words.

For some time now I've been adventuring in the Second Era and currently call the Great Tree of Elden Root in southern Valenwood home. I am active in the Guild of Mages but often accept quests beyond the guild if I think I can help and the cause moves my heart. So much is different seven hundred years before the Tamriel I was born to. Most of Cyrodiil is at war and much of it is quite dangerous to visit. Magic also works differently in this time and that has taken some getting used to and evolving on my part.

Your spirit sounds troubled, my friend. I so hope you find the inner peace you seek.

May cool waters and green grasses ease your path.

Buffy

Why is Yienno referred to as half-breed?

Well, Buffy's sire was Breton and her dam was Bosmer. As is the norm in such cases, Buffy is Bosmer but carries some subtle nonvisible Breton influences - most notably her aptitude for magic.

Ylenno is also of mixed race but is very much the exception to the norm in that he clearly displays the physical traits of both parents.

EDIT: Oops - good catch, Renee! I'm between puters and struggling on a cel. I dug back through some rp stuff. Uleni's half breed (Altmer/Redguard) was Poryphil the Gallant. I was right on Ylenno's trademark spiked hair though.

EDIT 2: Had to go back about 10 years to the last time Buffy rp'd with Ylenno. Like Buffy, he's a Bosmer. smile.gif

Close! Haha

Ylenno is what I call a Bosmero-Ayleidoon, which is basically a Wood Elf descended from a purebred/noble clan of Ayleids. Which is what his ancestors were; they were part of the noble families that ruled the city of Bravil before it became Bravil. When the Alessian Crusades overthrew the Ayleid city-states, Ylenno’s ancestors fled to Valenwood where they basically ruled over a patch of land and mingled with the local nobility of the Wood Elves. In ‘Ylenno-verse’, as it were, I created two distinct subspecies of Ayleids; the ones who rule Northern Cyrodiil were pale and more magickally attuned. Umaril belonged to this sect, as well as most of the more sinister Ayleid nobilities. The southern strain on the other hand have much more in common (culturally) with the Bosmer, sharing their love of nature and such. This is why Ylenno exhibits traits that are distinctly un-Bosmeri like but not that outlandish; like his height (6’3), his eyes (hard chips of grey) and his hair (white-gold with a fey radiance).

Ylenno’s name is also a corrupted form of his original Ayleidoon name; Uailearnua, “Beloved-of-Crows”.

EDIT: His race was actually a matter of plot back in the Sutch RP, where his Ayleid ancestry would’ve come as a little surprise and be of some use to further along the plot. Which is why I cheekily labeled his race as ‘Bosmer’ because, well, it’s not that far off the truth wink.gif

Dear Buffy,

Happy birthday, my friend! I hope this day finds you a sunny waterfall to splash in under a legion of butterflies, and that your night is lit by torchbugs.

When I think back on the times we have shared, and you know that thinking is not the easiest thing I do, I am reminded of your grace, your humor, and the inner strength that shines from you like your healing spells. Your friendship lifts my heart when we are together and when I’m alone in the darkest places. I am a better Nord for knowing you.

Tonight I’m raising a bottle of Tamika’s West Weald White to toast you on your birthday. Wherever your path takes you this year, may you find joy and adventure. I wish you every happiness, dear friend.

From Jerric

Dearest friends,

It warms my elven heart to receive such well wishes for my birthday. I had a lovely day that did indeed feature waterfalls, butterflies and one of Tamikas finer vintages.

May cool waters and the shade of tall trees ease your path. Hug_emoticon.gif
