What was that? Sorry, I can't hear you over my solid gold peacock.
Pictured above: candid photo of Szin just hanging out.
I look forward to Isune charging Maylea with copying her order beast.
Parrots are different from peacocks, though. 100% different beast innates, too, if the wiki's right about parrots.
Am I missing something (again)?
Amazing beautiful stunning avatar by Gurashi! ~ A gentle breeze ruffles your wings and whispers in your ears, as if for you alone, "Dragonfly's words shine... seeds, sown and tended, inspire... a forest harvest." ~ Maylea reaches out, Her fingers poised in midair. "Now you are of Me, even more than you were before." Her golden and azure eyes glitter. "Walk well, Eldin. Shed glory in My name, and bring life to the lifeless."
why did all the orders I didn't join have cool birds?
I mean, I've got a cool bird that is literally made of cosmos, but I WANT MORE BIRDS
(also what innates does the peacock have?)
Probably (nearly) exactly the ones you'd suspect if you had to guess:
Influence Empower, Heal Ego, and Cast Reflection.
They know they're gorgeous.

"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
A lush fragrance dances about her as she stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.
New favor flavor text for Maylea!
I first saw the new Czixi one on @Merlose and was immediately jealous as I had no idea what it was. Then I eventually looked at myself and went, OH.
Threadlike skeins of mist envelop her form, flowing out from her body as a vaporous cloak.
The new offering text we got was awesome too.
Mist coils from the Prized Brazier of Diligent Obeisance as you hold your offering high, watching it dissolve into wisps of vapour. They skitter nebulously through your fingers, the essence flickering from existence as it surges forth to empower Czixi, the Welkin.
!!!!!!
We have an offering message now, too!
As you lift up the Superior Brazier of Divine Revels, small seedlings begin to sprout from all surfaces, bursting into a small garden of tiny, radiant, many-hued flowers that stretch skywards in joy. Within seconds, all perishable material has decayed into dust, and the blossoms lose their colourful petals, only to ripen into sprays of bright fruit that glitter in offering to Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.
I love these changes! I want to see the messages all of the gods are coming up with!
Your karma rises in response to your deeds. You offer up 3 corpses to Auseklis, the First Wanderer.
You slip into a blossoming stole of fragrant peaches.
You lift the stole over your head and drape it around your neck. A lovely fragrance rises from the soft wool and enwraps you. Before your eyes, your body and your limbs become covered in soft, knotted bark, while peach blossoms burst from your fingertips, your nose, your ears, and every other joint or extremity. Here and there, a few choice peaches droop from your branches, and you suddenly feel quite flexible and yet sustained by the strength within yourself.
Looktext : Blossoms and peaches drooping from its flexible branches, a fruiting dryad grows here.
Lief has finally realized her destiny of becoming a tree and growing leaves.

Auseklis was an excellent writer and the patron saint of all builders and mortal builders. So, if he were around, he would definitely have an AMAZING offering message.

Your going to join the Glomdoring and become a wyrdenwood?
j/k {for those who don't get it, the Wyrdenwoods grow leaves vs WiIldewoods growing flowers/blossoms}
I don't want to be all smelly and rotting though!
(Also this is a new order stole for Maylea's order! it's so pretty!)

A rave for all you admins - the nicest admins in any game I've ever played, who will listen to player suggestions. Ahh I don't have any words so here is a ❤ emoji
You are startled as a lemon meringue pie bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Mysrai.
I haven't heard people talking about it as much, but I want to offer a shout out to the patron/pantheon change that occurred alongside Affinity's demise. That was also a very useful change, given that Patron selection was often far more motivated by OOC utility rather than IC gravitas, and there are some historical changes that just ended up feeling awkward and shoehorned into place.
I can't really share a bunch of this log as it has super secret stuff but..I'm still reeling from this.

Drocilla has imbued you with great powers, use them wisely.
It is a while before you realise that the Enchantress is silent, looking down upon you, and you are sitting upon the floor by Her feet, not even remembering whether you sat or fell. Everything is still without but within the coils of sublime power remain, thrumming beneath your skin, electrifying your fingertips, and tinging the world in hues previously unnoticed.
A wave of ethereal violet light surges from Avechna's Peak, ascending the skies and unfurling across the firmament like the rippling leaves of a fan. The cold and grey clouds blush with twilit hues until the light evanesces over the horizon, leaving behind a dreary winter afternoon.
Pushing away raven curls from your forehead, Drocilla watches you closely.
Vatul's eyes blink harshly, as she raises a hand to wipe at something wet at her cheeks. The reverberation of the song swelling and fading within her ever still, as if there would never truly be a silence without the beauty of it.
She looks up to Drocilla, her features almost beyond the belief of what had just occurred. Soon, this expression fades and she breathes out the words, "I did not know...It would feel this way." Her voice is strangled, yet smooth, as if she had never sung to hoarseness moments ago.
Drocilla wipes at something upon your cheek and laughs, the laughter buffeting against your momentarily hypersensitive skin and sending it tingling. "Ah darling, but this is nothing yet."
Thank you so much @Drocilla, I was absolutely blown away! You've made
it all the more special by being amazing. I can't wait for what mischief will happen in
the future.
The cool night-time breeze shivers in the arid caress of the streets of the capital city, brushing the earthen taste of dust across your lips.
*
A blessed silence falls upon the city for the moment, most activity confined to the towers and the theatre due to the snowy weather.
*
Pinprick points of light twinkle in the deep black overhead, their brightness full of a cold, hungering malice.

I'm Lucidian. If I don't get pedantic every so often, I might explode.
You preach to an aslaran tribesman of the great glory and goodness found by those who follow the Light, and that New Celest is the bastion of the blessed. An aslaran tribesman slaps his knee and declares that, by the gods, the Village of Shanthmark should follow the Holy Principality of New Celest after all! A wave of starlit warmth and benevolence washes over you, coursing through your link to the Pool of Stars as it shines all the brighter for New Celest's championing of the Light throughout the First World. Shouts rise up from the Village of Shanthmark, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Holy Principality of New Celest.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped me get to Demigod in about four or five hours! It was a very arduous climb and I wouldn't have made it by myself.
@Maylea. With apologies to the late Shashi and the other wonderful members of the cast, Lanni is definitely my favorite order NPC, for both his personality and his story!

A murder of crows descends upon your offering to Viravain, Lady of the Thorns, their beaks ripping and tearing at a headless corpse. As they feast, the weight of power builds in the air and the shadows stir to life. Finally, the crows take to the skies, leaving behind only that which could not be consumed.
Edit: Also apparently a custom favour line. Wyrden flames flicker across his form like a shadowy cloak, the sweet scent of roses trailing in his wake.
Shikari's offering message is still bland, alas. Shikari was also an amazing writer; I love all of the order text / cult text he made, and the special God symbol artifacts.
