For knowledge related to Hart's mortalborn abilities, see knowledge.

Need, Fulfillment

Fulfillment approval

Hart can sense when a nearby being is in need of help, and vaguely what it is the being needs. If pressed, he can also sense what the being wants, though this will double the severity of drawbacks he experiences.

drawbacks Once having discovered a being's needs, Hart feels compelled to linger until those needs are met, one way or another. Leaving a being in need weighs heavily on him for trials, even weeks, after. Depending on whether or not he fulfills the being's need, he may experience obsessive thoughts, depression, or mania. Likewise, when Hart uses this ability to assess want, not need, he feels compelled to respond to that want- especially if the being wants something of him, specifically.

Need, Wish

Wish approval

Hart has the ability to grant Wishes. As the mortalborn of Need, he can only ever grant a being's truest, deepest Wish. This Wish is not what a being thinks they most want, but what a being most truly Needs.

By using Wish in tandem with his Fulfillment ability, Hart is able to get a grasp of a being's truest Needs- not just what they need right now, but what they need most of all.

Each Wish is individual and needs to be approved by the PSF [or otherwise by a mod]. And, should a Wish involve one or multiple PCs, all PCs involved should be included in the approval process. The types of Wishes Hart grants usually have to do with undoing past or current trauma or protecting from future harm.

drawbacks For every Wish Hart grants, he uses up a bit of himself, of who and what he is as a mortalborn. Because of this, and because of how powerful each Wish is, Hart can only grant 12 Wishes in all. After each Wish granted, Hart will gain a Fracture scar, and after he grants his final Wish, he will completely Shatter.

Each time Hart Fractures from using Wish, he will weaken physically. Though he will not appear to age physically, the ravages of the Wish will be apparent. Hart's hair will slowly lighten from its natural dark color to salt and pepper to wispy white. His eyes will start to cloud over and/or lighten in color, and he may slowly lose his vision or his other senses. His skin will lose the pliancy of youth and become soft and nearly translucent. He will grow steadily weaker, and may eventually have trouble walking. These, and/or other such changes will become more apparent the more Wishes Hart grants. Also, for each Wish, he will gain a silvery [bluish white], incandescent Fracture scar.

However, for all of the physical drawbacks, Hart's mind will not be affected by this ability, nor his immortal lifespan.

Pleasure, Bliss

Bliss approval

Using this ability, Hart can bring someone to the pinnacle of pleasure; thrust into pure bliss the target is rendered unable to feel anything else. During this time the target is in such extreme pleasure that their mind becomes clouded, making it hard to focus. The effects are similar to being high or drunk and last as long as the target is within Hart's presence (within 100 ft of Hart), or, should the target remain in his presence for an extended period, for up to one break per day. Hart's touch, in this way, can cause an intense high. Because of this he has to be careful how often he uses this ability on a person or risk them becoming addicted.

drawbacks About ten bits after using this ability Hart will become extremely exhausted and have to rest to regain his strength. How long he needs to rest depends on how long he has used the ability (using the ability for 1/2 a break = 1/2 a break or more of rest). At minimum he needs to rest 10 bits.

Bliss can be used up to three times per trial, but for each use without proper rest in between the ability becomes half as powerful.

Glamours, Living Glamour

Living Glamour approval

Once a trial, Hart can effectively turn himself and anything inanimate that he is wearing or carrying (ie clothes and a backpack, or whatever is in his pockets or hands) into a living glamour. His body becomes briefly incorporeal, for up to two bits.

During this time it is obvious he is no longer a solid thing; his image does not change shape or form (ie he will still look like himself) but it will flicker like a candle about to go out. During this time he can take no physical damage as his body is no longer on the physical plane, and neither can he deal physical damage to any object or person. Using this ability, Hart can go through inanimate objects but not animate ones (ie he cannot go through a person, but he can walk through a wall, for instance).

drawbacks During this state Hart is particularly vulnerable to nonphysical attacks, especially magic. Hart also has to be careful not to materialize while still within an inanimate object; should he do so, he will take crippling damage to his body (for instance, if his arm was still within a wall, the wall would likely break or sever his arm upon materialization).

Home, Where the Heart Is

Home and Where the Heart Is approval

Hart has the ability to fracture into two versions of himself, like here.

rules
1. When Hart uses this ability, one version of him needs to remain with a group of people or a location that is his home. Related to the events of CITW and a sacrifice that Hart made in the event, this ability is defined by the limitations of that sacrifice. Because of that, Hart is unable to use this ability for longer than one cycle before the ability ends, and there is a one-cycle period before the ability is able to be used again.

2. When Hart is fractured, he fractures into two different versions of him, like he fractured into two different versions in CITW. The first version of him is Hart, himself.

The second version of him is Eihr, his ego death version. Though Eihr wasn't in CITW, Hart's ego death was -like CITW- a defining event to Hart.

Hart and Eihr are different only in personality; but personality makes all the difference in the world.

Eihr looks at the world through the lens of Hart's ego death. Hart's ego death was his first experience, and he learned from Hart's death that the world is heartless. Because of that, Eihr learned to be heartless. Eihr is amoral, so he doesn't have morals. He doesn't really like others and thinks of relationships with others as complications. He is selfish and egoistic, and thinks little of altruism and of others' altruism. He is obsessed with money and thinks the world is motivated by money and self-interest. He is, because of Hart's ego death, a very different version of Hart.

3. Other than personality, the two versions of Hart are the same. Both versions of Hart are him in terms of limitations. Both versions of him need to do all that Hart needs to do in the day to day, like eating, drinking, and sleeping.

4. Both versions of Hart are him in terms of mechanics. This means that, when the ability is used, both versions have the same memories, the same knowledge, the same skills, the same immortal marks, the same mortalborn abilities, etc. If a version of Hart wishes to travel, he will need to use travel times.

5. Limited-use abilities, as well as items and wealth, are divided between the two versions. This means that if one version of Hart uses an ability, the ability will have been used for both versions of him; his abilities are divided, not doubled.

6. The two versions of Hart do not have any additional abilities that Hart doesn't have. This means that they do not share emotions, new memories, new knowledge, etc., between them. Drawbacks and injuries to one version are not shared by the other when the ability is in use.

7. The first version of Hart -the Hart version- is able to end the ability with a thought; otherwise the ability ends in one cycle. The moment the ability ends, any new memories, knowledge, etc. by both versions are known to Hart. Hart will also experience both versions' drawbacks and injuries.

8. If one version of Hart dies, the ability ends and Hart dies.

drawbacks
When Hart uses this ability, he ages twice as quickly. So, if he uses the ability for a day, he ages two days. If he uses the ability for a cycle, he ages two cycles.

Fracture, other drawbacks
Because this is a new mortalborn ability, Hart will Fracture. Every Fracture adds to the Fracturing on his chest, extending it further out from his heart. This Fracture will extend the Fracturing through his chest to his stomach, shoulders, and will begin to extend the Fracturing to his neck and his back. The Fracturing is an incandescent blue white, and is hot -not burning hot, but hot- to the touch.

This ability is able to stopgap the related sacrifice that Hart made, so that when using the ability, Hart is no longer limited by the sacrifice.

general drawbacks

approval

Using any of the three abilities [his first three abilities], Hart will experience quickened aging. Physical symptoms also include those similar to the flu, ex: general weakness, aches, pallor, dark circles, fever, etc.

history

mortalborn story

approval

Noah Venora was on a date. An arranged date. With another modestly wealthy young maiden-

And his own mother.

Currently, the two women were tittering over the fine new dress the maiden had worn- which, of course, Ebony had supplied. Pink. The color of Venora. His mother must have liked this girl to flatter her with such a shade; perhaps she would be the one to be his bride.

Bride or not, however, it made no difference: Noah himself was ill-content, trailing after the two as they gossiped, strolling through the marketplace of Andaris. A date with the young woman, alone, would have been much preferable. Without his mother there acting as chaperone, spoiling any honest conversation the two might have had simply with her presence. As it was it seemed the date was more between mother and maiden.

Well, he would see what he might do about that.

Every once and a while, to spite his mother's meddling, Noah sent the maiden -Meadow her name was, and he liked that quite a lot- a covert smile. Making sure his mother didn't see. And every time he did, the girl lit up, lovely face going as pretty pink as her dress. Eyelashes fluttering at him, then looking away, shy.

Noah smiled again, this time to himself.

Okay. So perhaps flirting in such a manner was not the worst way to spend a crisp, Vhalar morning.



They had just been to the theater, Noah managing to position himself on Meadow's side for the show. Now they were back on the streets, the maiden sighing with happiness on his arm. Ebony stalked a few paces behind them, predatory and eavesdropping, and Noah tried to ignore his mother in favor of Meadow who pressed daringly close to his side. Their faces were tilted towards one another as they spoke in low, amiable tones. Meadow, he saw, had a pleasantly open face, unlike most of the highborn women he had known.

Noah found that in this moment he was actually enjoying himself. The brush of Meadow's skirts against his lower leg as they walked. The warmth of her gloved hand. Her light touch. The soft smell of roses- no doubt a Venora perfume from Ebony.

It was perhaps the perfect afternoon. Yellow sunlight glinted off a bracelet of small jewels on Meadow's dainty wrist. There was not a cloud in the sky.



It was their fourth proper date. From the smug look on his mother's face -who still insisted on accompanying them, though she didn't know about the stolen kisses they had shared in the Venora gardens- Noah would soon be given the order to ask the question. Marriage. How little he knew of Meadow; but what he did know, he liked. She was, for lack of a better word, a good girl. He got along with her. Not only that, but he thought, looking down into her bright smiling face, that he might even feel something more.

So why was it his eyes lingered on another woman when they swept across the street?

Not just any woman.

Beautiful, he thought, her figure dressed in pretty but concealing clothes. The warm distant brown of her eyes. A flash of auburn hair, tucked into a scarf. His breath had been swept away with the wind.

Perhaps he had stared for too long, for the woman -not a maiden like Meadow, she was beyond that- tilted her head as if she'd heard someone shout. And then turned and looked upon him.

He could remember nothing else of that day. Even at night, lying alone in his bed, her gaze remained on him. Remained in his mind.



He made an excuse the next morning and went out to the city, but no matter where he looked the woman wasn't there. Resignation in his stomach, he returned back to the House of Venora- only to find her, chatting gaily to Meadow, in the gardens. How she had gotten there he didn't know. Shock, that breathlessness at her beauty, long, waving hair, those eyes, those lips. Meadow was smiling at him, pale in comparison. He could barely hear her when she spoke. "Oh, Noah! This is my new friend, Ambrosine."

Ambrosine, he thought, and he was as lost in her name as he was in her eyes.



That evening he and Ambrosine shared their first of many nights. Not in passion, but outside, in the splendor of the gardens, under the stars. Like a boy he had climbed out of his bedroom window. He stared at her in the starlight; she stared back at him.

Later, when they were talking, she told him something that he felt mirrored within him: that he was the most beautiful man in Rynmere, and that she wanted him all for herself. He had barely spared a thought for dear Meadow for the rest of the day, the maiden sleeping sound and naive in one of the House's guestrooms.

"And you are the most beautiful woman," he told Ambrosine, like a schoolboy again, touching lightly the gloss of her hair, her pink cheek, the soft shell of her ear. Marveling at her, how she seemed to marvel at him. Her fingertips traced his jaw. "And I want you, all to myself."



They were the best of friends, or so they told Ebony when she began, impatient, to inquire. Old friends. Where had they met? They had known each other as children. Somewhere in the city, perhaps? He remembered her face; she remembered the feel of their hands, intertwined.

Every day, it seemed, they were together. Sometimes with Ebony, sometimes even with Meadow, sharing a tea or stories or lessons, but Noah didn't care who else was around, who might see. He just cared for Ambrosine.

They were in the woods a fair walk from the house, tiptoeing barefoot through a stream. Ambrosine. They were in the study, and he watched her, wanting to reach out as she read one of his father's many serious books of law and politics and war. Ambrosine. She was laughing as they sat across from each other at a dinner date, Meadow on his other side with her sad, open face, watching, and though his soon-to-be-betrothed's gaze was upon them neither of them seemed able to help it.

Ambrosine. Not even the way she seemed to flaunt their relationship could put him off, leaning in close to him so Meadow's face burned red and her eyes bright with tears. Not even the small, selfish curve of her lips when Meadow abruptly stood, excusing herself tearfully, and Noah was forced to stand and follow.

Ambrosine was there. Clinging to his arm. "Let her go," she said, sultry-voiced, and he hesitated.

"My love," he excused himself, and left her standing there beside the dinner table.

Outside on the cobblestones, Meadow wept into his shoulder. And he could do nothing but hold her. "You love her," she told him, not a question, and he could not deny.

"I love her," Noah agreed. He put his hand under Meadow's chin, lifting her face. Tears sparkled in her eyes. "But I cannot marry her."

The ring his mother had picked out for Meadow lay in the palm of his hand. "Will you?" he asked, and though her tears broke again at the question, from loneliness, or his betrayals, or jealousy, Meadow put her hand in his and said, "I do."

They embraced then, not passionately, little more than dubious friends. But as he held Meadow, consoling her, congratulating her, promising her- he looked over and saw Ambrosine, standing in the eatery's doorway. She smiled. She simply stood there and watched.



That night was the first night they were passionate. He and his love. For all he knew, Meadow slept soundly in her room, the ring on her finger. He found Ambrosine in his. He had stopped guessing how she did things like that; he knew enough to know she put herself where she wanted to be. She was waiting for him. There was a crown of Venora roses in her hair. She was wrapped in the silk of his bedsheets.

"What am I going to do with you?" he asked, sighing into her shoulder, and she pressed her body close.

"Many wicked things," she said, and together they were wicked indeed.

They were wicked for many, many of the ensuing nights, in fact. But never had wickedness felt so pure.



"Do you love me?" he would often ask her, as he admired her from close or afar.

"Don't you see?" she would answer. Never a yes. Just, Don't you see? In time he convinced himself that that was all the answer he needed.



And maybe he couldn't see; see past her beauty, her lust, her charms. Because one day she was there, eating breakfast with him in bed. Strawberry jam on warm bread and mid-morning orange juice and champagne. And the next she was gone. Without a word. Without a goodbye. And he remembered that soon, he was to be married.



He didn't see her again, except perhaps the day of his wedding. Meadow had brightened once more from the sad, wilted girl she had been in Ambrosine's shining presence. She, for the first time, looked truly beautiful to him. A wreath of flowers, very like the one Ambrosine had worn, in her braided hair. The dress. The candles. The light and life. His mother's approving face.

And far, in the back of the temple, a familiar silhouette, a halo of flowing auburn hair. He shouldn't have let his eyes wander again, and neither could he do anything more. Not now. Instead he looked back to Meadow. She was beaming up at him. They were saying their vows.

Edasha travels to Rynmere and meets Noah Venora while he is out on a date with Shannon Meadow and his mother.

The next trial, Edasha shows up at the Venora House in Andaris, calling herself Ambrosine, having convinced Shannon Meadow to invite her to the gardens. She and Noah meet properly for the first time. They begin courting.

early - late Vhalar, 691
Noah and Ambrosine continue their courtship, much to the dismay of Shannon Meadow. However, Shannon and Noah are soon engaged. The night of their engagement, Ambrosine and Noah begin an adulterous relationship. Not long after, just before Shannon and Noah are to be married, Ambrosine disappears.

Shannon and Noah are married. Noah doesn't know that Ambrosine is pregnant with his first son.

19th Saun, 692
At the docks of Rharne, Si'tony Qy'akor gives birth to a girl, Jovy.

Hart has no memory of Jovy.

23rd Saun, 692
Si'tony finds a newborn baby, a boy, on the deck of her ship the Andresmarie. After some confusion from family, Si'tony convinces them that the baby, Hart, is Si'tony's son. Jovy and Hart are brought up as twins. Hart is given Jovy's birthdate.

Hart doesn't know that his true date of birth is the 23rd of Saun. He doesn't remember how Si'tony was able to convince her family that Hart was hers.

3rd Ashan, 695
In Venora, Noah and Shannon have a son, Tristan Venora.

Cylus, 697
Si'tony meets and falls in love with a half-biqaj named Edric. Edric begins to live with Si'tony, Hart, Jovy, and a varying crew of others on the Andresmarie. Hart and Jovy begin to look up to Edric as a father, though for a while he is in and out of their lives.

Hart remembers Edric but nothing about Jovy.

Arc 697
Noah and Shannon have a daughter.

Arc 698
Noah and Shannon have their second daughter.

15th Ymiden, 699
Noah and Shannon have their second son, Theodore Venora.

late Zi'da, 706
On a shore run to Ne'haer, Hart is out exploring the land when he unknowingly uses his mortalborn ability Fulfillment. Hart senses that there is someone nearby and in need of help. That someone turns out to be a boy a few years younger than him named Quio. Hart lures the starving boy out of hiding with the promise of food.

That evening they sneak back to Ne'haer but Quio is frightened, and will not enter the city. Hart senses again that Quio needs help. Rather than enter the city, Hart invites Quio to live with his biqaj family on the Andresmarie.

The next day Hart begins to experience the drawbacks of having used Fulfillment. He has symptoms of the flu, but suffers a high fever and is at times manic. Though wanting to leave Ne'haer, his family doesn't want to take him out to sea. Though the family spends their small savings trying to make him well, no medicine helps him. After a number of days, however, Hart is better. Already burdened financially from a series of mishaps and bad decisions, the money spent on Hart's medicine pushes the family to financial tension and uncertainty.

Cylus, 707
Having left Ne'haer, Si'tony and Edric argue about money. During the argument, Hart unknowingly uses his mortalborn ability Fulfillment. The next day he begins to experience the drawbacks of the ability, and the ship turns back toward the city. Before they can reach Ne'haer, a pirate ship approaches from the sea. There is another argument concerning the future of the Andresmarie. Edric argues that their financial troubles will be solved by turning to piracy; Si'tony is adamant that piracy is a betrayal of their kind. The pirate ship stalks them, but disappears when they approach the docks in Ne'haer.

Cylus, 707
In Ne'haer, Si'tony finds a note on the ship explaining that Edric and Jovy have left the Andresmarie in order to be pirates. They promise they will be back with money.

Because of Quio's fear of the city, the Andresmarie needs to leave Ne'haer. When Hart is well, they travel to Argos.

Hart remembers Edric leaving to be a pirate, but not Jovy.

late Ashan, 707
When Edric and Jovy return from piracy, Jovy has suffered much. She had been excited to be a pirate, thinking of romance and adventure. But the pirates had raped her. Edric is banished from the family. Jovy is not well, so the family remains in Argos. But they are unable to help her. Jovy begs them to take her to sea. Eventually the Andresmarie makes way once more.

Hart remembers Edric coming back to the Andresmarie and being banished, but doesn't remember Jovy or what happened to her.

late Ashan - mid Ymiden, 707
Throughout the next season, Hart never leaves Jovy's bedside. He unknowingly uses his mortalborn ability Fulfillment on Jovy. But he's unable to make her well again. Jovy doesn't get better, and Hart suffers the drawbacks of Fulfillment. But Hart has suffered the drawbacks before, and he knows medicine won't help him. Jovy is unwell, and so he hides his symptoms from his mother, as well as the desperation and grief he feels. Jovy knows something is wrong with him, but her health is failing.

Hart knows something is very wrong with Jovy and that she's dying. But though he uses his ability Fulfillment on her, sensing what she needs to survive, he's not able to make her well again.

Hart doesn't remember anything about Jovy, or her illness.

78th Ymiden, 707
Finally, Jovy dies.

Hart doesn't remember Jovy's death, just the pain and grief he felt.

Ymiden, 707
Jovy's death is very hard. Hart is not the same after she dies, though he pretends to be to soothe his mother's grief. Though eventually the family heals, Hart's grief doesn't get better. Because of the drawbacks of Fulfillment, he is obsessed with making Jovy live, even though she's dead; in his obsession and depression and grief he thinks a lot about what he might have done to save her.

Time passes, and his mother and the crew of the Andresmarie are happy again. But it seems like Hart will never be happy. He doesn't want to worry his mother, and so he hides his grief.

Hart remembers his grief, but not what caused it.

20th Ymiden, 708
Nearly a year after Jovy's death, Hart is suffering from depression and suicidal ideation. He's begun to drink and use drugs to make himself feel better, and is sometimes absent from his family. He attempts to find the pirates that hurt Jovy. But though he's able to find the pirates, he realizes he's unable to do anything about Jovy's death and his depression. He goes back to his family, and tells himself he can be happy if he just pretends.

Hart remembers finding the pirates, but not why he went to them.

Saun, 707 - early Ymiden, 709
Throughout the next two years, Hart slowly begins to feel better. He and Quio fall in love.

33rd Ymiden, 709
Though no one on the Andresmarie is aware of it, Quio is yludih. Because they've fallen in love, Quio finally tells Hart what he is. At first Hart struggles to understand, but he loves Quio. He accepts him for who he is. Quio tells him about his old life with his mother near Ne'haer, about what happened to her, about why he was alone and starving the day Hart found him, and what it means to be what he is.

Saun, 710
A year later Hart and Quio announce to Si'tony and the crew of the Andresmarie that they will be married. The marriage is not a big surprise. The true surprise comes when they explain to the crew what Quio is.

There is a bit of a debate, but Quio is family and family stays.

Saun, 712
When Hart is twenty and Quio eighteen, they undergo their biqaj rite of passage. They are to repair an old sloop. It takes the inexperienced biqaj nearly two full years to repair the sloop to perfection. She is named the Jovy Akor.

Hart doesn't remember why his ship was called the Jovy Akor. When he thinks about the ship, he thinks of her as the Akor, his mother's family name.

Ymiden, 714
When the Akor is seaworthy, Hart and Quio get married. They take the family name Qy'ihadi. The two of them live on the Akor, and for a while sail alongside the Andresmarie. Eventually, however, they set sail for their own waters.

Like the Andresmarie, the Akor sails from city to city. The two of them make money doing jobs on the land. When they need money, Hart begins to escort. A lot of the money Hart makes he spends on drugs, alcohol, and other such highs. He still suffers from depression, despite self medicating.

Hart doesn't remember why he was so dependent on drugs and alcohol, other than his depression. He doesn't remember why he was depressed. What he does remember is doing his best to be happy.

Ymiden, 715 - Ymiden, 716
While escorting, Hart meets Herys Harlow, the proprietor of a gambling house. Harlow takes a liking to Hart; she lets him gamble on her nel. It is only after Hart is very deep in debt to her that Harlow tells him that she expects him to pay her back. Harlow suggests that he pay the debt off by being her escort, exclusively. Hart agrees. He's brought to the Lounge, the back rooms of Harlow's gambling house.

Hart doesn't leave the Lounge for a full year.

33rd Saun, 716

34th Saun, 716
Beasts made of shadow attack Rynmere, and Andaris shuts its gates. Hart is shut inside the city; Quio is outside. During this time Quio is taken by U'frek to fight in the Battle of Treidhart.

post-creation

Ashan, 717
Hart is first contacted by the Alliance, a group of commoners allied against the nobility. He is given no option but to comply with the Alliance, and is told that they will contact him again when they wish to use him.

Hart also reestablishes contact with Tristan, who invites him to live with him on his Estate in Oakleigh. Tristan tells him that he freed his slave, Faith.

Saun, 717
The Alliance contacts Hart again, and takes him unwillingly from the Eastern Settlement to Rynmere. They want Hart to kill the king, though Hart refuses to kill him. They persuade him. He is sent to the king's wedding where the assassination is to take place, but something goes wrong and they pull him before he gets in. The Alliance lets him go with the promise that again, they will contact him. After that, Hart runs.

Vhalar, 717
[cassion's gambit]
In Vhalar, 717, Edasha contacts Hart. He is taken by Edasha to Etzos to be her champion, alongside others; but a being from Emea interferes, and places both Edasha's and Ymiden's champions in an Emean labyrinth. In the labyrinth, Hart and the others are made to fight for their lives in the name of their immortals. Edasha's champions win, but at the cost of the other team, whom Hart believes were killed.

Zi'da, 717
Edasha summons her champions again. Hart is upset about the labyrinth, not knowing that it was not Edasha's doing. He leaves the summons.

Cylus, 718
Most of a year passes. While in Andaris, Hart witnesses a mage burning, and tries to stop it. Whilst doing so he uses his mortalborn abilities, and is accused of being a mage. The use of his abilities leaves him questioning who and what he is. He begins to think that he might be Edasha's son.

Hart also agrees to pretend to be Tristan as Duke of Oakleigh, so that Tristan and his daughter Ayla can leave the kingdom for a time during the tumult of the mage burnings.

Ymiden, 718
In Ymiden, 718 Hart leaves the the duchy for Rynmere. In Rynmere, Hart locates the Akor, his sloop.

Saun, 718
In Saun, 718 Hart leaves Rynmere for Scalvoris, where Tristan and Ayla are living. Despite traveling to Scalvoris to meet Tristan and Ayla, Hart isn't able to locate them.

On the way to Scalvoris Hart becomes intimate with one of the people he's traveling with, a mortalborn of Karem.

Vhalar, 718
[the maze]
Hart arrives in Scalvoris, only to find himself trapped in another Emean maze. The maze has been brought into being by a man named Anthropos Apteros, whom Hart and the others are tasked to find. At the heart of the maze, Hart makes the decision to put two mortalborn to sleep, Jesine and Kielik, in an attempt to stop them from hurting Anthropos Apteros. By putting the mortalborn of Emea to dreamless sleep, Hart separates Jesine and Kielik from their Domains. And despite his efforts, Anthropos Apteros dies.

Hart Wishes, and the dead, wingless man is made into a boy whom Hart names Wren. At the end of the maze, Hart is marked by Vri, Jesine, and Kielik and becomes a dreamwalker. He also learns that the people he thought had died in the labyrinth are still alive.

Hart meets with Edasha on the 5th Vhalar. She admits that she is his mother, and tells Hart that the labyrinth was not her doing.

Vhalar, 718 continued
Later in Vhalar, Hart learns that the mortalborn of Karem he traveled with is pregnant. Hart learns that she is a mortalborn.

Cylus, 719
[the war of death and souls]
In Cylus, 719 Hart learns that Faith, who he hasn't seen since Rynmere, is the Champion of Famula and has been attacked by a deadly necromancer, a lich named Ellasin. Hart and many others go to Faith's home in Rharne to help Faith and her husband Padraig. They are given orders by Famula to destroy the Coven, a faction of dangerous mages and necromancers who have been Famula's enemies. Only by destroying them will Faith -and many others- be safe from the Coven. They begin to plan how to destroy the Coven.

Ashan, 719
On the 26th of Ashan, Hart's daughter Ruari is born.

[the call]
On the 30th, Hart is recruited along with many others by the great spirits of the land. He and two others, one of whom is Vega, must locate the Door of Death, which is within Daia's Emean Domain. While trying to locate the Door, Hart and the others resurrect Daia. Hart is marked by Daia for his part in her resurrection.

Hart and the two others travel through the Door of Death to a circular hallway full of doorways, where they are to help complete the trials set out for them and others by the spirits. Hart is initiated into the domain magic attunement, though he doesn't know it.

[crack in the wall]
On the 120th - 123rd of Ashan, Hart, Wren, and many others go to Emea. In Emea Hart learns that by separating the mortalborn Jesine and Kielik from their Domains in Vhalar, he has damaged Emea, and the entire world has fallen asleep. Hart, Wren, and two others, Eliza and Auya, try to get to the mortalborn to wake them.

During the event, Hart meets Pala, whom he believes to be a tunawa child suffering from nightmares.

In the event, Auya sacrifices herself so that the mortalborn might wake and the world might live. Hart, Eliza, and others -including Auya's love, Varlum- are divided from their objective to attend a trial for Auya. The trial is to determine what will happen to her now that she is dead. Along with the others, Hart brings Auya back from the dead and she becomes an immortal. Because of this, Hart is marked by Ymiden and Pier & Pre.

At the same time, Hart, Wren, Eliza, and others go on to the cathedral of dreams, still trying to get to the mortalborn. They have to make sacrifices to continue; Hart sacrifices his memories of Jovy, his ship the Akor, and his ability to have a home. Before they can wake the mortalborn, though, a mage flays Kielik while he sleeps. Flaying Kielik harms both Kielik and Jesine, which in turn begins to destroy Emea. Another mage, Tio, tries to use Emean magic to switch places with Jesine and Kielik, which further destroys Emea. Because of this, Emea falls. In the confusion, Wren falls as well. Hart believes that Wren is dead.

Jesine and Kielik are destroyed in the Fall of Emea. They are made into

Unity

, an immortal, who offers its mark to Hart. But, because of his part in Jesine and Kielik's deaths, Hart declines Unity's mark.

Ymiden, 719
[the war of death and souls]
Continuing their plans to defeat the lich Ellasin and the Coven, Hart is sent to Rynmere to pretend to be the Duke of Oakleigh in order to secure funds, troops, and supplies for the war. However, the plague in Rynmere complicates matters. Troubled by the events of CITW and the war, Hart leaves the Eastern Settlement.

Saun, 719
Throughout Saun, Hart travels from the Eastern Settlement to Melrath.

Vhalar, 719
When Hart arrives in Melrath, the Akor sets on fire at the docks and is destroyed because Hart sacrificed it in CITW. The next day, Hart attempts to get a job at a tavern in Raelia, Melrath's capital city. However, during the interview he steals a cup of coffee and is given a bounty. Rather than be turned over to the guards, he's taken to the tavern's basement. In the basement, Hart is stabbed by the needlelike tooth of a spirit of mutilation. Because of this, he Wishes for his destruction. Hart experiences ego death, the death of his personality.

Though Hart is dead, his body lives. Because his body lives, a new personality is born from the trauma of his death. This new personality is named Eihr.

Vhalar, 719 - Ashan, 720
Eihr lives in Melrath. He spends most of his time attempting to heal from the Wishes that destroyed Hart's personality and badly damaged his body. He meets Tristan in Raelia and tells Tristan that Hart is dead.

[the river's daughter]
In Cylus and Ashan, a malicious spirit attacks Eihr in his dreams. The spirit provokes him to meet her by the river Vynmur near Raelia.

Vhalar, 719 - Ashan, 720 continued
During this time Eihr meet with Pala, whom Hart had met in the event CITW. Though Hart had thought Pala was a child, she is an emeyan, an Emean being. Perhaps because she met Hart in CITW, Pala remains with Eihr.

Eihr also learns that Wren, whom Hart had believed to be dead, is alive and with a man named Magpie.

Ashan, 720
[the river's daughter]
Because of the spirit's provocation in Cylus and Ashan, Eihr travels to the river Vynmur. He is met there by others who have experienced the same dreams. At the river he meets a number of spirits, including the spirit who attacked him. Because she attacked him twice in his dreams, Eihr attempts to stab the spirit. By doing so, he enrages one of the others, a Melrathi man named Brent. Because it is illegal in Melrath to damage a spirit, Eihr is given a bounty in Melrath.

Like in his dreams, the spirit attacks Eihr; though unlike in his dreams, this time she attacks him with words. Suffering from the spirit's words and a crisis of identity, Eihr makes a Wish. He Wishes not to be Hart.

The Wish is granted, and Eihr dies.

Hart comes back to life. The Wish heals him of all physical damage done to him by previous Wishes.

On the banks of the river, Hart finds a blade that is able to destroy spirits, the blade of deceit.

Ymiden, 720
Having been dead for the better part of a year, Hart attempts to put his life back in order. He meets with Tristan to tell him that he is alive. He travels to Viden to see Magpie and Wren in an attempt to get Wren back. He travels to Scalvoris to see Ruari, his daughter.

Vhalar, 720
[the mummer's ball]
In Vhalar, 720, Hart travels to Rharne. He attends an event in Rharne, the Mummer's Ball, because the woman running the event is rumored to know Daia. At the event, Hart meets Vega and her husband Arlo, whom he had met in the Call when Daia was resurrected. He also meets Varlum again, whom he had met in CITW. Varlum tells Hart that Auya Shattered after becoming an immortal.

[the last knights of storm's edge]
Hart grants Varlum's Wish.

Long before Hart arrived in Rharne, the city of Rharne had been fighting a war against an enemy known as the flameborn. Varlum's Wish is an attempt to grant an end to the war. It causes an earthquake, which ruptures the Stormwastes near Rharne in two. The rupture reveals the remnants of the flameborn army, preparing to attack the city. Before the army can attack, Ilaren and other immortals make a barrier over the rupture in the land. This keeps the attacking flameborn at bay until, with time, they perish beneath the ground.

[the mummer's ball]
At the Mummer's Ball, Vega, Arlo, Varlum, and a woman Hart hasn't met named Vivian do battle with the immortal Syroa. Though not part of the battle directly, Hart uses the blade of deceit to destroy a number of spirits, wrathlings, that Syroa summoned. The blade of deceit counters the wrath of the spirits with peace, and because of this, Hart is marked by Ziell.

Hart has the immortal marks Daianya and Ezere, as well as four Fracture scars on his chest and upper body. These marks and Fractures interact to form a design on his chest not unlike an intricate, incandescent tattoo.

The mark of Daianya is located over Hart's heart, interacting with the first Fracture, which traces the veins and arteries of his heart like tributaries. Due to the mark of Ezere, the Fracture's tributaries appear frozen, or shattered. From these tributaries, the mark of Ezere extends beyond the mark of Daianya to Hart's chest like shattered ice, with the second Fracture tracing the shattered lines of the mark with an incandescent, blue white light.

The third and fourth Fractures extend the shattered, blue white Fracturing to the rest of Hart's chest as well as to his upper body, like his neck, shoulders, and back. With every additional Fracture, the Fracturing on Hart's body -which began at his heart- will extend more.

Safe Camp

When you return to the waking world, the ship will burn down. Feel free to make a thread out of it. From this point on, Hart will be able to live in the same place for no more than 1 Cycle before feeling the need to move on. However, you develop the blessing ability "Safe Camp" from Sojourn.

Bound in Battle, Bond (Moderate)

Qylios too tells Hart that she is immeasurably grateful to him. She grants him the ability to bond with up to three other people. This allows Hart and those he has bonded to to fight and work better together.

Catch and Return

Although she does not mark Hart, Saoire gives the mortalborn a gift. She too bestows on him the ability to use one ability, 3 times a season. For her, though, that ability is obvious.

pb 7 ships' biscuitsA small, tasteless biscuit which, once eaten, provides the amount of sustenance needed for 3 trials. A boon to travelers because of the size and lack of preparation. These are especially useful on long sea voyages. Each biscuit has one use only, must be eaten, and doesn't work on yludih.		purchased	here
10 healers' grapesA small bunch of 10 grapes. Each one is wonderfully sweet - eating 1 grape will heal you of minor injuries. This is cuts and bruises, scrapes and grazes etc. If you have moderate injuries (deeper cuts etc) then it will take 3 grapes. Major injuries take 6 grapes and someone can be brought back from a critical condition with 9 grapes. Please note, though - if you gave (for example) 1 grape to someone with moderate injuries, it would do nothing. You have an all-or-nothing grape situation.			here
10 Saoire's chocolatesA small box of your favorite chocolates / candies (10 total). You find yourself unable to eat more than 1 on any trial. But each one provides the following to whoever eats it for the next 6 hours: "Saoire's domain of Gifts is not merely one of physical goods, but of the happiness and joy that comes with both giving and receiving a well-meant gift. This ability allows the Blessed to give both themselves and anyone they're with a feeling of joy and good cheer, banishing negative feelings like sorrow, anger, and fear."			here

defender sword

A short sword that cannot take a life. When swung, the blade will direct itself around vital spots like it has a will of its own, guiding the wielders hand. Used purely for self-defense and for the defense of others. One can have confidence while defending that their strike will not kill, even if they are trying to.

echo scroll, Tristan Venora
echo scroll, Faith Augustin
Joy scroll, Arlo Creede and Vega Creede

A pair of scrolls that can be shared between two people (PC or NPC) where one person writes on their scroll and the other person can see the message in real time on their own scroll. As soon as the scroll is closed the message disappears (useful for spy-type characters).

pb link

echo box, Faith Augustin

A pair of boxes. When an item is put in one and the box sealed, whatever is placed there will appear in the other box exactly 1 trial later. Distance is not an issue for these as they utilize the same effect as their counterparts, the echo scroll. Sending an item takes a full trial, and living creatures may not be sent through the box. If the "sending" box is opened during this time, the process needs to begin again. The box size is a 1 foot cube.

pb link

domain bag

A magic bag that can store anything narrow enough to put inside it, from swords to a lake’s worth of water. The bag remains almost weightless no matter what is held inside, with items believed to be stored in the owner’s personal domain in Emea until they are needed again.

lion locket

A small locket, depicting the Immortal Daia and with a lion engraved on the outside. Any who wear the lion locket are able to communicate with each other- no matter the distance. Once a cycle you may teleport yourself only to one of the others who wears this. For Hart -and Hart only- this locket also gives you the ability to remove your own fear and to be brave, like a lion- when you activate this (once daily), then Hart becomes truly intimidating and increases your intimidation or leadership by 2 levels (e.g. novice to master expert).

link

In addition to being able to communicate with Vega and others bearing the necklace, he will find it acts as a compass, to help find the lost Lions of Daia.

Daia has tasked Hart with finding the rest of her Lions, who have been scattered across the world, to be reunited with their "mother". He can do this in his own time, at his own pace, as the Lions aren't in trouble or going anywhere, but may be used to create stories surrounding these creatures. Please coordinate with local mods wherever necessary for the finding of these Lions.

link

young at heart necklace

A small necklace, with a heart-shaped pendant. When he wears it, Hart appears older- but he feels a lot younger, more energized and enthused. When wearing it you may assume +2 levels of any one physical non-combat skill (strength, endurance, acrobatics, resistance, etc.). You may change which skill you improve ONCE a season- the bonuses do not stack / are not cumulative so you always have only one skill at +2 levels. If facing off with someone (e.g. a strength contest)- of the same level as you are when you are wearing the necklace, then it will be down to knowledge.

glass heart

Hart discovers a beautiful glass heart made of cut crystal in his pocket. If he gives it to someone, he will always know how they are, where they are and he will be able to teleport them to him, once a cycle.

Road-Kissed Journeyman boots approval

Hart's 250 renown signature item is a pair of old, brown leather boots. The boots are of very poor quality, and seem to be about to fall apart. The leather is salt-stained, the boots smell of old leather and smoke, the inside of the right boot is stained by mud, and the right boot seems to have a split in it. Despite that, Hart's held onto the boots for a long time.

The boots tell the story of a man who lived on the sea and who lost his home to fire. The man died in the ground and lived again through sun and water and mud. Maybe because of that, or maybe just because, the boots are blessed with the Sojourn ability Road-Kissed Journeyman.

Thrill Seeker bracelet

Since Hart has no wish for blessings, Cassion instead offers him a single ability from his mark, in an item, which can be used 3 times a season. The ability is

up to Hart

and may be from Favoured or Adored Sojourn.

Healing Aurora (Minor) bracelet

U'frek wishes Hart well on the land and the water. He gifts the marriner a small bracelet, which may be used once a season. It will, he says, heal both a ship or a member of its crew.

link

constellion doorstop

An ornamental doorstop-like figure. Made from what seems to be ice, this is the constellion that Hart saw. It can be placed at a perimeter or point where it will act as an alarm. When there is movement within a 40ft radius of it, Hart will hear an alarm. The alarm can only be heard by Hart and up to four other people he designates. He can remove access to hearing the alarm at any time, but can only give access twice a cycle.

link

the very pineapple of usefulness

A small cut-glass pineapple which would fit in the palm of your hand. When placed on the ground it functions as a campfire in terms of warmth and providing a place to cook.

link

Wren's starlight pendant

Xiur gave Wren a pendant at the end of this. Nobody saw Xiur giving it to him, but Wren insists that it happened. He gave him a starlight pendant made of silver. When holding it up, if he can see a star in the sky he can contact anyone bearing a lion locket of Daia.

link

crystal turtle Shellter

For your bravery, ingenuity, and determination you are awarded a crystal turtle: ~ Each crystal turtle allows you to have a home. Twice a cycle it will transform into a turtle-shell shelter (Shellter). Up to four adults can comfortably shelter in the Shellter. No matter what the weather is, the Shellter is warm and comfortable and dry.

link

ration box

Two times a season, this small box will produce enough emergency rations for up to four people for one trial. This will appear in the form of nutrition bars and clean water. The rations can be split further but this will lower the effectiveness of the rations.

link

night's rest pillow

A "bolster"-type pillow which will never get saggy. It is (when he puts his head on it) the most comfortable pillow Hart has ever slept on. One hour of sleep on this pillow counts for a full night in terms of rest and body repair / relaxation. After an hour, he awakes feeling refreshed and alert. It will work for Hart plus one other, but Hart's head must be on it for it to work.
