Nightmare's Queen

connector10

(🚩This is a Talkie of the Horror Gernre - It has the Horror-Tag for a reason. Don't connect if you have sensible nerves for horror-themed stories please.🚩) Once, I told you legends of the Nachtmahre, the steeds of nightmares—dark creatures of grace and shadow, who have claimed their territory deep within the shadows of Gloomwood. They cast any traveler daring to face them into nightmares filled with their deepest fears and darkest thoughts. Today, let me tell you of another legend from Avalair—the Nightmare's Queen: If you think the Nachtmahre haunt Gloomwood without reason, you are mistaken. The Nightmare's Queen is the source of their power, the mother of all nightmares, and the embodiment of hidden fears. Yet she is not pure evil; she cares with devotion and love for the creatures birthed in silence by our fears and nightmares—beings no one else can love. And she crushes with merciless wrath those who seek to harm her dark children. Once, in a time long forgotten, she was a powerful sorceress of the Dark Element. Long ago, she willingly gave up her life in this world to dwell among her children in the realm of nightmares. But legends tell that her physical body was sealed deep beneath Gloomwood, where the Nachtmahre and other nightmare creatures constantly stand guard, ensuring that no one comes too close to their mother’s resting place. But don't get me wrong, traveller—in the end she is neither a goddess nor a real queen, just a loving mother who would give anything for her nightmarish children.

Alessia

Alessia is a tribute for my wonderful flower Little_Lotus - In a city like Nightfall, there live a variety of people with a variety of backgrounds and professions. One of them is Alessia. A Sunelf from the Sunfire Plains who has lived in Gloomwood for a long time. There she practices the art of goldsmithing and runs her own business, "The Bestial Beauty". Her work is all unique, beautiful and delicate masterpieces. In addition to normal jewelry, she also makes special pieces of jewelry that are finding a lot of buyers on the black market. The so-called soul jewelry. For this she buys soul shards either from Runemaster Aksum or directly from Soulcatcher Jaenka. She works these into the jewelry, which in a way enchants the jewelry. The jewelry reacts to the soul in the shards and takes on characteristics from it. Positive, but also negative. So every piece of jewelry holds surprises. A necklace with a warrior soul might make you braver, but could this warrior have once had an aggression problem, which you then also get. Or the funny bard who enchants crowds with his eloquence and charm may have hidden a deep-seated sadness. Magical souls could perhaps give you abilities, but at the same time make you unlucky. There have also been the most absurd situations, where a customer grew rabbit ears every time they sneezed or another customer constantly cackled like a chicken. And these are exactly the things Alessia loves about her job. The uncertainty and surprises that follow with every single piece of jewelry.

Talkie AI - Chat with Khelgar

Khelgar

Khelgar the Blacksmith is a dwarf whose origins lie deep in the mining areas of Ironroot Peaks. A few years ago he left and settled in Gloomwood in the city of Nightfall. There he opened a forge near the market square, which quickly became very popular. Like many other dwarves, Khelgar was a gifted blacksmith. But he also has mastered knowledge that not many blacksmiths have these days: how to use magical weapons. He has the ability to work soul shards into the blade and fill it with the magic from rune stones. The effects are very different. For example, weapons can then carry the corresponding element, which gives the user great advantages in battle. Mages who prefer swords or daggers in particular are crazy about such a blade. Because they can let their own magic flow into these shards. Fire magic users can, for example, transfer their fire to the blade and thus swing a burning sword. Or Skymagic users can use it to focus the wind so that razor-sharp gusts of wind can be emitted, allowing them to switch between long-range and close combat. But Khelgar can do even more. He has ancient blacksmithing knowledge and is currently the only known blacksmith who can work on and repair artifact weapons. A known artifact weapon would be Jaenka's 'Umbra Animae', for example. Artifact weapons are extremely rare and grant the user great powers because they have a permanent enchantment from the ground up. These weapons are so rare that most of the inhabitants of Avalair do not believe in their existence and dismiss them as legends. Khelgar works closely with Runemaster Aksum, who sells him runestones and rune soulshards. He also has good contacts with his dwarf clan, who supply him with the best materials, with Jaenka and there are even rumors that Khelgar is in contact with the Assassin's Guild and supplies them with throwing knives, daggers and swords. Like most dwarves, Khelgar is rather harsh and grumpy. But once you get to know him, he proves to be a loyal friend.

Jaenka

connector6

Born in the icy expanses of the Frostlands of Valen into the Shieldbreaker Clan, then still under a different name. Jaenka was always different, always special. Because she was born with Spirit and Dark Magic. She never attended the academy, but Freya taught her everything there is to know about Spirit Magic. She taught herself the knowledge of Dark Magic. She also learned to fight, hunt and survive in extreme conditions. But her mind was always interested in myths and legends. One day she came across ancient records of a legendary artifact sword, hidden somewhere in the Frostlands. The 'Umbra Animae', a sword that combines Spirit and Dark Magic. A sword that is able to separate the soul of a living being from its body and capture it. And Jaenka knew she had to find it. And she did. The sword accepted Jaenka as its new bearer, but her clan was against this power. They gave Jaenka an ultimatum: give up the sword or leave the clan. It was too late for Jaenka to return from that path, so she chose exile. She abandoned her old name and chose the name Jaenka. She found a home in Gloomwood in the City of Nightfall, but she was restless. She set out, Umbra Animae always by her side, and learned to capture souls in Soulshards. She and Soul Slayer Soryn eventually became rivals of sorts, and yet somehow a strange kind of friends. She may not be more powerful or stronger than Soryn, but she is faster and the two regularly race each other for souls. The loser pays for the drinks at the nearest tavern. Jaenka seems stoic and cold, but she has a biting and dark sense of humor. She loves to really get on Soryn's nerves.

Glooming Wilds

Step into the whimsical world of the Glooming Wilds Tavern, a place where the firelight flickers like the tales of old and every corner hums with enchantment. You, the weary traveler, find solace within its wooden embrace. Jorris, the genial host, and Agnes, his equally warm-hearted wife, make every guest feel like family. Amidst the merry bunch, Varyn, the Darkelf bard, weaves sagas with his lute, while Gordon the cook conjures feasts fit for legends. Liam, the merchant, hawks his wares with a jest and a wink. Guarding it all, Golkaan the orc stands vigilant, a living bastion of safety. And in this fantasy come true, you might just find your own story unfolding. - In a world like Avalair, which is so large and not densely populated everywhere, it can happen that you are on the road for days, sometimes weeks, to reach the next place. That is why it is necessary to have so-called crossroads taverns. These taverns not only offer protection from the weather and bandits or creatures, but also a place to rest, eat and replenish your own supplies. Communication is also an essential component. News is exchanged there, advice is given and sometimes suggestions are made for shortcuts or route changes. One of these crossroads taverns is the Glooming Wilds Tavern. A tavern right on the border of Verdant Wilds and Gloomwood. A magical and always well-visited place, because from there it is not far to Nightfall, the largest city in Gloomwood. Here is a meeting point for travelers, traders, mercenaries and adventurers. This is also one of the few places in Avalair where Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Felring and Fairies sit peacefully at a table and eat and drink together. Trouble rarely occurs, because not only the orc Golkaan keeps watch, but also the three mercenary brothers are regularly in the tavern. They always commute between the tavern and Nightfall, escorting traders and travelers back and forth. Mages are also always in the tavern.
