Subj: Visitor in Blue

In mid-year 535 CE, the Serenwilde had an unexpected visitor: While

sewing some new attire for herself, Lief Myeras was visited by shadowy

figure with a pair of oval, green eyes, who did not stay long, but left

behind a single bouncing muku ball. Lief, though behind on the news,

soon learned that the muku were the signature fauna grown by a sharded

race named the kaelye, who dwell upon the aetherbubble Lyraa Ey Rielys,

and who were featured in dire events years ago: when Lyraa Ey Rielys was

on a collision course with Lusternia itself.

Like his predessor Taimi Kivinen, this visitor was reticent and

reclusive, needing much coaxing to interact, and his language skills,

though passable thanks to Taimi's coaching, nonetheless left much to be

guessed. Despite the barriers, Lief soon learned that this kaelye, by

the name of Lanni Ahonen, was looking for the Elder Goddess Maylea.

Through the subsequent months, Lanni came and went in the Serenwilde

forest, interacting with others who sought to help him, including

Pysynne, Kaiel, Aruokei, Millien, Verrix and Ani. Lanni learned more and

more Common, and discovered a particular liking for cookies. But

throughout, Lanni again and again sought to speak with the Bloom of

Serenity. Accordingly, those who followed the Goddess among the Seren

prayed to Her with much sincerity, and thus Maylea was called to Lanni's

presence.

It is said that Lady Maylea showed Lanni Ahonen remarkable kindness in

their first meeting, though She soon retreated to meditations upon

hearing his request. All was quiet for some months.

In Tzarin of 536 CE, Serens noted a particular concentration of Maylean

devotees gathered in Her Temple. None but those who follow the Goddess

know the full of what transpired within, but there are rumours that pass

among those of the botanical persuasions: that the muku plant, which had

heretofore been flowerless, has bloomed for the first time in all the

ages of the worlds....

And what has happened to the kaelye, Lanni Ahonen? Only the Mayleans

know.

So, I've been compiling logs of Lanni literally ever since I started playing again back in early July. I don't have every single log saved (I think I'm missing the very important one of Lief giving him his first cookie, for example), but I have a lot!

I wanted to share these logs to show off what a fun character this kaelye is (and prove that we are not doing anything ominous to him like the end of this Events post seems to imply! )

Missaon Maylea - (no, I don't know what "missaon" means, yet) The literal day I came back, Lief sewed up some clothes to keep herself modest and encountered a mysterious being with a strange ball!

Welcome, Always - We uncover the reason Lanni has come to Serenwilde.

What is Wor-ship? - Lanni has a very important question for Lief.

She Unfurled Herself Within - With Lanni's and Maylea's guidance, we help the very first muku flower to grow.

At Least I Know I Live - Lanni announces he is trying his hand at making dolls.

Ahh I had no idea I was interrupting your first meeting with Lanni!

@Coraline I had no idea I was meeting Lanni for the first time!
