Believe me, it does. Legend has it that if you strain your ears enough at night, you can still hear the scholars in all four lands of Quercetum debating over which elements should be combined for the sake of ease. The Wordsmith's lineage refuses that train of thought entirely, but that is a talk for another day...

[Amaya doesn't mind the tapping, honestly; it's nice. Centering, almost.]

Ah, so your kind...they're sort of like the Granter's children, according to legend. That truly does sound fascinating, all things considered. An intriguing legend. I'll have to ask you what more you know about the Deimori that you've found.

[Still! Let her get talking of the elements.]

I'll start with my own; they do apply to everything in Madide, though there are a rare few who have no elemental alignments that I know little about, unfortunately. Darkness is quite straightforward, and an element that I've been trained to have control over; it allows me to manipulate dark energies to whatever it is that I need, using it to protect myself and the others of my flock with precision. It allows me to be attuned with the darkness that lies in my heart, that I have trained myself to control for the benefit of all.

The Sun alignment, however...that one came from my very bloodline. Those aligned with the Sun are usually the religious and the seekers of knowledge, born from the god Veritas' power; that of universal truth. It's alignment grants us the ability to utilize it's blazing power, to shatter any illusions that one may attempt to cast upon us. The Sun is sort of like a compass that will always guide those who seek it, and no illusions will deceive them with their abilities.

Our alignment is opposed by those who follow the alignment of the False Midnight Sun. The illusion seekers and dreamers.

[...this is about to get so stupid]

[Zvei nods at that, tucking it into the back of his mind for later. He'll gladly tell her what he knows about the deimori, but even his own kind are something of an unknown to him. That's just what happens when you lose all your memories and become a shell of your former self. 😔

Anyway! Amaya goes on to discuss her own alignments and Zvei hums a bit as he considers it. This makes much more sense how she could be aligned with both the sun and darkness - as "the sun" refers to a concept rather than "light". Fascinating!]

Do you run into illusions all that often...? I suppose with those of the False Midnight Sun, you must. Illusion magic is very uncommon where I'm from, with only a few practiced users of it; why, even only a few monsters are capable of it!

Yes, in fact. Many of the people of Oasis Mellitus utilize it's abilities, especially when it's Emperor decides he wants to make problems for the rest of us.

[She sounds so tired. Emperor Eindride is a bitch ass motherfucker.]

It doesn't help that Pravitas and the people of the Oasis have incredibly bad blood with one another, that I've been having to mediate for years now.

But it's quite a common tactic where I come from. Some other elemental affinities when combined can create truly stunning ones, when utilized with that magic, but that's all it is at the end. It's an advanced magic, and there's no reason for them to worship that which doesn't exist. Everyone in Madide knows that the sky's only light comes from Pixies and Faeries and the like...

[she says, like this is a totally sane thing to say to someone who assumedly knows what a moon is,,,]
