====Introduction==== | ====Introduction==== |
| |
The [[faction:promise|Promised Archpeligo]] is the source of many strange and fantastical stories. One such story told by many locals say there is an ancient library with untold quantities of knowledge, Hidden deep within the mist of the North-Eastern islands. Where the trees grow thick, and Goblins run rampant. \\ | A long-lived serpent creature, Most know Elisia as //The Serpent Empress// either by stories shared around in [[faction:promise|Promised Archpeligo]] or by her many appearances around the realm. A Humble //Yuan-Ti// no longer, Elisia has ascended to higher power, A being most would consider a Patron. A God-like being without having claim to a recognized Domain, Though laying claim to a domain is within her grasp. \\ |
Stories are easy, but to find this library you must get lost yourself. \\ | A Gigantic Lady Serpent, beautiful, Horrific, Seductive, Gluttonous. Depending on your point of view any of these would fit an adventures description of her. \\ |
Beware, Though the library may contain almost limitless knowledge on everything known and unknown, it is guarded by a terrifying creature of scales and venom. A horrific, Seductive, Serpent-like monster, Outclassing the size and stature of Bison and Trolls. She goes by many names, some inspired, others rude, but friends call her Elisia. \\ | Deep rich purple scales with a soft bright orange underbelly. Large deep green eyes with multiple sets running down her upper body. She is never seen far without her magic Orbs. Eyes of the Beholders she has slain in an effort to obtain more power. The extra sets she has on her body also remains of Beholders, their power now part of her while the others she wields as a spellcaster would. \\ |
[[location:fate_weave|Fate's Weave]] it is a special place told in ancient legends and local folk-lore alike. Often hunted by adventures for its vast knowledge. However hardly any are fortunate enough to ever find the library and those that have don't leave alive to spill its secrets. Devoured by the libraries' keeper. | Personality wise, Elisia is described as regal and posh. Though a monster serpent her speech is proper and lady like, Her etiquette? high society and very firm, Her attitude? Sophisticated, Fancy, with little time for anything less. Lesser creatures and those that do not refine their manors meet a swift death. Those lucky may receive a well aimed disintegration ray while the less fortunate are devoured whole, their body and soul being added to Ellisia's Exceptional girth. \\ |
| |
Elisia spends most of her time isolated. Hidden away in her Library with books and morning tea. Before her unexpected trip to //Brovaria// the rare trips she took into the world attracted a lot of attention from common folk. Yuan-Ti were very rare in the world, seeing a Naga slither about as a normal citizen was rarer still. A side effect of the public appearances helping stoke the rumours of her library. \\ | Following her theme, The Lady Serpent Elisia prefers to use such regal terms when addressing her piers and expects the same in return. Madam, Lady, Empress and similar titles all go over well in winning her fondness. Though even Ellisia falls to such basic temptations. \\ |
Adventures, worshipers and hunters alike from all over the lands come to catch a glimpse of Elisia and the contents of her elusive Library. not just pillages of knowledge, many suitors come to win her affection after hearing tales of the regal serpent's beauty. the other more devoted have started to worship her as a goddess in attempts to acquire some of the vast knowledge she holds which as of recently seems to be working if only a little.\\ | Food, Jewellery, Books and other sources of knowledge are quick ways to lower her guard. Food being the optimal tough for such a large creature as Elisia you would wat to be prepared. The Lady Elisia is quite portly for a Serpent. Experts would say overweight or even obese. Though it would be unwise to point such things out in her presence. \\ |
| |
She is regal and posh, an aura of expensive perfume with the jingle of jewellery follows wherever she crawls. \\ | A Librarian for most of her thousands of years. Elisia has amassed quite possibly the grandest collection of written literature in all of [[planes:felwind|Felwind]] and the realms beyond. Beings and Creatures from all over the realms and worlds often come seeking the information she has collected. All but a few exceptions are violently turned away. Most of her time is spent in isolation within her library. For a while, Only the //Warlocks// who are paying their depts play the role of companionship, and most do not wish to be there. \\ |
She enjoys large feasts, good books, shiny jewellery and magic parchment. a study of storm and eldritch magic she is always looking for new literature to add to her library and expand her knowledge. \\ | That is until a call for adventure gripped her like an iron vice. |
A lady of high society she cannot stand; as she would describe them, "ruffians" or those "Ill-mannered" a slap and stern scolding is soon to come to whoever behaves disrespectfully in her presence or even worse you may become her next meal. Elisia hates being hungry, always having a storage of snacks nearby, the number of books in her library and home are only matched by the snacks stashed around the place. quite the picky eater. her recent growing figure is accompanied by a growing appetite, it was becoming a major problem to find meals suitably sized for her but since establishing a new routine and becoming a Goddess figure for the Goblins of //Promise// those issues have since been rectified. | |
| |
A normal //Naga Yuan-Ti// growing up. The problem was she never stopped growing. A side effect from her time in //Brovaria// her size and stature has completely surpassed all expectations being similar size to adult dragons, although her growth spurt seems to have halted, she is worried it may happen again in the future. \\ | Trips to Demi-planes, battles with fierce dictators, seeking love, becoming a mother and then loosing that love. A short period of Elisia's life that had been far more exciting than the rest of it put together. It had left her changed, Cursed and craving her once simple life for relaxation. As the Patron of Fate, Dreams and Knowledge she had become normality was no longer a possibility. \\ |
Her Library can magically accommodate her expanding size, but she has long since outgrown the common mortal's infrastructure, Homes, Roads, Public spaces, other libraries and technically entire towns. Lightly she has considered moving to an [[planes:water|Elemental plane]] to live with the Giants. \\ Her size is full of faults and frustration and all her attempts to stop or reduce her growth have failed, Something about divine intervention. \\ | After her unexpected trip into //Brovaria// Elisia was left changed. Needing to adjust to a new body and new power. It was during this period of learning that she met the //Goblins of Promise//. \\ |
Learning to adapt and embrace her stature has been part of personal development. A positive outcome, Her job to keep prying eyes away from her library has been made much easier with her new monstrous form. \\ | Her Library had only increased in popularity, More and more adventures had come to [[faction:promise|Promised Archpeligo]] in search of the elusive [[location:fate_weave|Fate's Weave]] Library, And with more eyes on the Archpeligo it was inevitable that there would be more sightings of the great [[religion:serpent|The Serpent Empress]]. //Yuan-Ti// and other serpent species were expected in such Un-explored lands but one of such size?! It only stoked the rumours of Elisia's Library further. Hunters and adventures alike believing if they were to capture the elusive serpent that it would lead them to the Fated Library. |
| |
Since returning from //Brovaria// Elisia has come into new heightened power, Both Physical and Arcane in nature. Elisia has found her natural power has increased dramatically putting her on-par with a //Warlock Patron// and has become known as [[religion:serpent|The Serpent Empress]]. though her following mostly consists of Goblins her presence and teachings have made the Goblins of //Promise// much more intelligent and created individual identity for a lot of them. | Through this series of events Elisia became the protector and Goddess of the //Goblins of Promise// Teaching them and developing them into something far more sophisticated then savage Demi-Humans. The Beginning of her own cult following. |
| |
| **The Serpent Empress** \\ |
| Over the years Ellisia developed into a true Goddess. her influence spread to a majority of the southern Archipelago. Almost all Goblins and other Demi-Humans flocked to her presence and teachings and what's more the Demi-Humans had been developing. Rustic Goblin camps had become well built houses, Infighting between tribes had become small tight knit communities. \\ |
| Eve Elisia herself had managed to wrangle control of her new power and changed her form to one of more elegance. |
| |
| ==== History & Origins ==== |
| |
| === Origins === |
| |
| Elisia was born during the [[time:timeline|Age of Expansion]], Long before Felwind’s modern time. One of the very first //Yuan-Ti//. Born to humanoid and Serpent parents. \\ |
| Much of those dark times are forgotten and forfeited but she always remembers just how long she has been around. \\ |
| Elisia has been a Librarian most of her life, even before inheriting //Fate’s Weave// she was a humble Librarian and Scholar in forgotten Kingdoms, Ones where demi-humans and other intelligent monsters were not so shunned yet. |
| |
| Her love of books carries on to the modern day. |
| |
| |
| === History === |
| |
| **Becoming a Weaver of Fate** \\ |
| Its not entirely known how or why Elisia was granted the Library and the power it came with. Perhaps it was her devotion to the trade? or some hidden deal outside her knowledge? what ever it was as not revealed itself in truth yet. Inheriting that magical Library //Fate’s Weave// came with a few other bonuses aside from a big load of books. \\ |
| The ability to read, write, and Re-write people’s very fate. Some have their fates set in stone from the moment they are born while others see it only laid out as they walk through life. This Power is closely related too dreams, the realm of sleep is a tricky one to navigate but Elisia holds 'Domain' over it and has done for many thousands of years. \\ |
| This power of fate and dreams is not for Elisia to abuse. She is a keeper of sorts, to watch over this domain, keep it safe and correct any mistakes. But who is there to stop her from having a little fun? |

The trip to //Brovaria// had left her with a bit of a time skip, Leaving the entrance to her library faded. Needing to find a physical location in order to conjure up a new entrance. \\ | The trip to //Brovaria// had left her with a bit of a time skip, Leaving the entrance to her library faded.

| **Goddess to the Goblins** |
| |
| Her presence is still rather new and her following mostly consists of Goblins from the Archapeligo. Elisia’s influence and teachings have expanded the Goblins intelligence, Enabling them to expand from |
| Primitive tribal nature to more soohisticate creatures, Building homes, assigning roles and learning new tools. |

//Its been a troublesome few months. My presence in the archipelago has reached the nearby settlements. a few farmers and tradesmen have put a bounty on my head. "The Monstrous Serpent" they call me. and quite a low reward I must say. 120Gold for my head. They must think me some simple Baskilisk or rogue Naga. \\ I! I only took a few cattle...here and there. It was ages ago I was hungry and had not sorted out a suitable way to sustain myself. \\ Two adventuring groups have intercepted me during a stroll through the misty woods. both parties relatively new adventurers. [[faction:quip_crew|Quip Crew]] was one of them and the other name escapes my memory currently. // | //Its been a troublesome few months.

| Dream Essence Potency Experiment 031 |
| |
| //I made contact wit the Loxodon on the Celestial plane, It cost me a pretty large sum of gold to do so but it will be well worth it!....If the elders agree that is... \\ |
| Hells it was alot easier to do this then try and find the Frostwarn Loxodon!// |
| |
| **Day 17:** \\ |
| //They Responded! And agreed! \\ |
| A group of six Loxodon, Known as the 'Nature Seers' will be arriving i the next few days. I am told most of the are Druids! ow exciting. Finally my hypothesis can be put to the test. \\ |
| My theory being that among all the known intelligent species; That are not actively armful to life. Loxodon have some of the most potent dream essence available.// |
| |
| **Day 20:** \\ |
| //Razza, Fleioux, Jim, Isooz, Kilno and Rucffass. \\ |
| These are the names of the Loxodon who arrived this morning. Very punctual people. They arrived right on the 8th chime at 8o'clock. Fleioux seems to e the defecto leader of the small group he was the only one to speak for our entire introduction. Eventually the others spoke. I am guessing a form of culture had to be carried out before everyone could relax.// |
| |
| **Day 26:** \\ |
| Its been close to a week now. urrrrg its frustrating. the Loxodon want to go over the details of the experiment again and again and again and urrrrgrgrg (The rest of this line is a heavy scribble of frustration.) \\ |
| I understand some hesitation but come on! why did they even show up if they were so skeptical! ESPECIALLY THAT ISOOZ. My Gosh! He won't stop giving me the side eye! questioning EVERYHING i do. From writing notes to eating lunch! He won't leave me alone! \\ |
| I think he has some sort of deep untrusting nature to beings in power, Such as myself, A Patron of the dreams & fate of people. |
| |
| But Fiiiinaallllllyyyy. Everyone is happy to go ahead. we start tonight! |
| |
| **Day 39:** \\ |
| Its been almost two weeks since my last update but so much as happened! as i thought the dream essence I collect from the Loxodon after each session is remarkably potent. it even has its own unique aroma that i never considered would be possible with such a medium. Its similar to a perfume base. After this discovery i went and checked my other samples of essence and sure enough they shared the same aroma albeit far less noticeable. I could defiantly further my perfuming products with this but i am not sure if tere would be ay side effects... I am getting off topic. \\ |
| The Loxodon themselves seem to be waring up to the place. The agreement was three months. Each as their own rooms in my library and they are free to explore the area around at their leisure. I only put them under once every 2nd night to make sure their is no excess strained forced on the mind. \\ |
| |
| Razza is quite the glutton...we share that in common at least. He is devouring my sweets pantry at an incredible rate i have to restock every 3-4 days at the moment. I often join him for his foodie sessions. He actually has quite alot to say but really only opens up when food is involved. |
| |
| Fleioux is slow, Not in the mind but in the soul, His words, actions and even scribing are like watching a Loxodon under permanent effects of the Slow Spell. We don't have much to talk about. He spends 90% of his time meditating in the forest. |
| |
| Jim is strange...I don't feel comfortable writing anything more about him. |
| |
| **Day 55:** \\ |
| There hasn't been much to report until this week. I put the idea forward for the Loxodon to remain under my dream magic for a extended period of time. They agreed to a full week which surprised me but i wen for it. \\ |
| And something strange happened. \\ |
| During the extended period i began to see ethereal like manifestations. At first they were two fragmented to make out but as time went on it became clear that they were manifestations of the Loxodon! tier dreams becoming reality in our material plain. it was fascinating watching their dreams playout without needing my abilities. But something scared me when one of them, I think it was Jim, Jim's dream self looked right at me and asked "Where am i?" \\ |
| That terrified and excited me all at the same time. I quickly ended the extended sleep right at that moment. |
| |
| Asking Jim about it he said he couldn't remember it, but e does remember slowly loosing control of his body in the dream as if someone else was moving for him. \\ |
| This has to be looked into further! |
| |
| **Day 73:** \\ |
| The experiment is going well its mostly just collecting further dream essence at this point, As long as the Loxodon are not kept under for oo long i haven't had any more manifestations show up. But i can't lie, despite its heavily taboo nature i still would like to see if its possible. For a manifestation of dreams to gain sentience. What a discovery that would be! \\ |
| |
| But something happened today that is not part of the experiment. The Loxodon received a collective vision it seems. not under the effects of my magic. They told me it was a warning, an Omen of a coming disasters to plague the land. They couldn't really tell me specifics but apparently its a common thing for Loxodon to see coming disasters and in their nature to try and prevent them, if not at least aid in the recovery aftermath. \\ |
| Thankfully it seems they get these warnings very early so we are not in any danger for some time. Enough time to finish my experiment. |
| |
| **Day 92:** \\ |
| |
| **Day 101:** \\ |
| |
| (After this point the handwriting changes in style and the tone of the notes becomes far more selfish) |
