Okay, so I finished the Wisemaster blurbs, which means that I can get back to writing the story properly. I am going to copy and paste what I have. Again none of this is strickly canon until expressed in the actual narrative itself. These blurbs just serve as guidelines but nothing more. Enjoy!169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cD196lYi3

4. Jéwahteyn, Holder of the Mirror Mask (From Okrihpur) - Average height, dark chestnut skin, blue-black straight hair, and red eyes. She is the Holder of the Mirror Mask, a magical artifact said to possess the power to see into one's own mind as an outside viewer. Nothing is hidden from the sight of the mirror mask, and even the deepest buried memories are revealed under its magical eye. Entrusted with information and secrets, she is given a drug to forget about them. She is only able to access them when she has the Mirror mask on. She is also capable of storing large amounts of information and is readily able to sort through it all with perfect accuracy while wearing the mirror mask. No man can wear the mask while its current owner is alive. The mask is kept in a secret location while she is away on travel. Jéwahteyn is a natural philosopher, metaphysical philosopher, archivist, poet, ambassador, and servant of the Mirror Mask. recompenses for activating the mirror mask are as follows (Recompense- Spirit / Resolve- Mind / Rendering - Singing) She is quick-witted, sarcastic, no-nonsense, and overly critical but is not afraid to show warmth, sympathy, or empathy when a situation warrants it. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcQ1Tmg5FN

5. High Segàir Gwaynne (From Esmeron) - Extremely tall (almost 7 feet tall), pale blue skin, Silver hair, Hazel eyes flecked with gold. Appears younger than her actual age. When pressed on the matter, she will just state that she is very old but never divulge exactly how old. She is a high priestess of the Shadow Dancers guild. She oversees and administers the organization and, as such, has only had two prior meetings with the Wisemasters in the past. At her first meeting, she demonstrated her gifts that afforded her a position in the Order. Though she is hardly ever present physically, she maintains correspondence with all members and even Dreamspeaks with those she has a good rapport with. Loanne and Abdol are diametrically opposed to one another. He sees her as a person who consorts with Maulkiths and eldritch beings. If pressed on the matter, she will not disagree with The Quadean’s assessment of her, stating, “It may be true that I lay with demons in exchange for my prescience; however, it is I who controls them, for they are the ones who return to me.” Most see this as a joke, but Abdol does not take kindly to the jest, and even Madalynn is more than a little uncomfortable around the woman. Both objected to her admission into the Order yet were overruled by the other members. Madalynn has since taught her the fundamentals of Star-singing, and, in exchange, Gwaynne has taught Madalynn the secrets of Dreamspeak. Even with this mutually beneficial exchange of lore and knowledge, Madalynn is still apprehensive about the woman. When performing the art of Shadow Dancing, the Dancer must strip naked and be doused with blood. The quality of the sacrifice will alter the potency of the ritual. Once covered in blood, the Dancer heads into a pit of fire while a hoard of onlookers chants the Calling Song to awaken the shadows of the future. White marble slabs are erected and surround the pit. The shadows that land on their surface burn images into it, from which the Shadown dancer themselves or their acolytes will read and interpret their meaning. As for Dreamspeak, it is a far more simple exercise. One must drink a specially brewed tea from which leaves that are only found in the Mistwoods of Esmeron. Aligning both spirit and mind, one must lull themselves to sleep to the tune of a bell chiming methodically. This can only work if the practitioner is already adept at lucid dreaming. The prerequisites for Shadow dancing are as follows (Recompense- Blood/ Resolve- Body/ Rendering - Singing) and for Dreamspeak (Recompense-Nature/ Resolve-Mind / Rendering -Percussive) She is very playful and catty. Often time she can come off as coy and overly esoteric, with a wild bohemian quality to her that seems unpredictable. Tall, beautiful, and passionate, Gwaynne is not one to mince her words or hide what she wants, though she will often try to charm her way into getting it, which works most of the time. She is not used to losing and is very bad at accepting defeat. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPtsSiQ1mV

6. Ítuche Koketz of Allalanté - A middle-aged man of middling height, thin frame, dark chestnut skin, and long hair tightly bound in coils. He is a purveyor, an identifier of magical items, as well as an infuser/enchanter. Ítuche is skilled with the art of enchantment and infusion, being able to not only discern what a magical item can do but also be able to create new ones. Contemporary items are not as powerful as relics from the past, yet it is an art form that has not changed in the past 5,000 years. Practitioners of this craft are highly sought after and employed by wealthy nobles, royals, and even merchant princes, usually alongside Star-singers. One of the most powerful and highly sought-after relics from the past is the Palantirí. A tiny red orb from which the future can be gleamed with crystal clear clarity. Ítuche Koketz is in possession of one of these Palantirí yet is unable to activate its abilities. He bought it from a Nomadic Koshman, that says it came from the heart of a fallen star. Ítuche has taken to calling it the Crimson Pearl for its size and color. Apart from that, he has been known to infuse bells with enchantments of vitality and shields with enchantments of durability. Minor enchantments, when held up against relics of years past but remarkable feats in today's day and age. The prerequisites required for his infusions and enchantments will differ from item to item depending on their intended use, and as such, he must be knowledgeable and competent in all fields of magic. Because of this wide breadth of knowledge and his renown as a great infuser, he was invited to join the Wisemasters some two years ago. The upcoming festival will be his first time visiting Clara Luna and meeting all the other members of The Order. He is a quiet man, polite but shrewd. He is always carrying around a book and reads when not engaged in conversation. It is often said that he prefers knowledge and money to friends and family, an assessment he would not disagree with. The only thing that excites him anymore is the discovery of a new relic and experimenting with such. He plans to take the Crimson Pearl to Clara Luna to see if any of his newly formed colleagues can activate its magical abilities. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ4xU3LK3U
