#SANTA LOUX!

[vaeltan-louxser]

A jar wrapped in twine and a bow appears within his chambers. Inside he finds beautifully ornate and carved silver utensils. A fork, knife and a spoon. All sat neatly within a large, finely carved wooden mug. A note sat within the mug as well.

"DEAR VAELTAN,

I HEAR THOU LIKE FOOD. I DO TWO, BUT I BELEAVE THOU HATH ME BEAT! THOU HATH BEEN GOOD ALL YEAR, SO TAKE THESE LOVELY TOOLS ALONGE WITH THEE ON THY TRAVELS. I AM VERY PROUD OF THEE!

WARM REGARDS,

SANTA LOUX"

Vaeltan stares mouth agape at the gifts before taking each in hand, one after the other.

The fork, knife, and spoon he holds first, thumbing over the ornately carved designs and holding them up to the candlelight - they’re sturdy and weighty, meant for tucking into hearty foodstuffs, and they’d no doubt put any of the dainty cutlery on a noble’s table to shame.

Then he holds the wooden mug, his hands not even coming remotely close to being able to encircle it completely, and he has half a mind to shout into it to see if his voice echoes.

He’s never seen a finer set of utensils and mug (though to be fair, he’s not seen many, having used sticks, weapons, and his own hands as such for most of his life).

‘Santa Loux’s’ letter finds its way into his hands last, and he reads over it several times, eyes misting over as he does.

‘I AM VERY PROUD OF THEE!’

He finds himself smiling as he wipes his eyes dry with the back of his hand, resolving to cherish the gifts and the words both.

SANTA LOUX! Chieftain of the NORTH POLE!

There better be a mod of this....

[thefirsteldenlord]

"Papa!"

Running up, Perona has the completely meaningless bag of treats in one hand, and one o them embroidery looms in the other. About bouncing on her heels, she offers them to Serosh and Godfrey, respectively, beaming with pride and delight.

The embroidery is... Well, it's meant to be of both Godfrey and Morgott, her in the middle as if to scale. All three figures are abysmally done, signaling her being unversed but dedicated to the art.

"Se...rosh!" She happily chirps, offering the open bag to Serosh properly.

@eldenlordofdragons [Perona]

(happy crimus papa)

Whew! He managed to get all of his Santa gear off before Perona came running. He had a feeling he needed to make a quick change once he heard Perona giggling and jumping around in her chambers.

"What thou hath there, Lass? A gift for me? Thou'rt too kind l-" He paused for a brief moment as he saw the tall figure next to him in the embroidery. Was that... Morgott? Has she met Morgott??

He snapped back to attention when he Serosh mewled sharply as he munched down on some treats Perona hand fed him. Maybe it was Margit she made and was thinking off? Either way, Morgott isn't one to just approach a stranger, let alone a child. How she knows of him perplexes him.

"I thank thee, Lass." He gives her a gentle pat on the back. Either way, it's a cute little embroidery that he'll probably hang on the wall of his chambers.

[eldenlordofdragons]

A gift was left close the bed where Perona had slept. It was a small Jar with twine wrapped around it. Inside was a necklace made out of a thick black twine that held tufts of soft, glowing locks. It was Serosh's fur! All for her to enjoy! Inside was a note as well!

"DEAR LASS,

I WISHETH THEE A VERIE MERRY CHRISMAHS. MINE GOOD FRIEND, GODFREY HAD TOLDETH ME THAT THOU LOVE HIS COMPANIEON SEROSH. SO SEROSH HATH VERY KINELY GAVE SOEME OF HIS FUR FOUR YE.

WARM REGERDS,

SANTA LOUX"

Now to be frank, the jar on its own would have been kept precious to Perona eternally. But the moment she sees that necklace, she recognizes Serosh's fur and erupts with glee. With joyful broken giggles she rolls around on the bed, clutching it tightly to herself.

At first she doesn't do it correctly, watching it dance around her wrist as she twirls her arm. But then she recognizes the kind of tie it requires and manages without needing to call for help.

"San...taaa! Santaaa!" She squeals, giggling the minutes away.

This girl is eternally on the Nice List.

[lady-of-stormveil]

A mighty axe rested against the door of her chambers. An axe resembling a weapon that a legendary warrior weilded. Ornately carved blades and a stury long pole, the end garnished in finely carved wood. The bow made of scrap fabric also carried a letter to her that was crudely, but kindly written to say the least.

"DEAR NEPHELI,

THOU ART A FINE WARRIOR. THOU HATH MADE ME ALONGE WIT FRIENDS AND FAMILEY VERIE PROUD OF THEE WITH HOW GOOD THOU HATH BEEN ALL YEAR.

TAKE THIS AXE AS BLESSIN FROM ME TO THOU. I BELEAVE THEE MAKE A FINE RULER!

WARM REGERDS,

SANTA LOUX"

Nepheli easily lifted the large axe with both her hands, gazing up at the massive head and taking in the metal work. She gave a slight smile. She had not received any gifts from anyone in a very long time, though she was not a girl any more.

"Pitty... I prefer hand axes to battle axes... I wonder if Hewg could adjust it for me..."

[clueless-tarnished]

Christmas time is here! And it was a special at that, because it was the twins first Christmas! You know what that means? Santa Loux is coming to visit to deliver a special gift!

They would find a sack dropped down from their (thankfully unlit) chimney. Inside the sack held 4 presents that were in tin boxes with twine wrapped around them.

For Nouma and Dany (@eldenlordofdragons) they received ornate erdtree daggers. Their handles were made of carved wood for comfort, while the blades held a design that showed an image of the Elden Ring. It was a sign of good luck as potential suitors to the throne.

For Solis and Luna, they also received knifes! They were a sturdy solid silver knives with carved handles from the source of the blades themselves. A knife had images of the sun, another of the moon.

A letter was attached to these presents.

"DEAR NOUMA, DAIRY, SOLICE, AND LUNA,

MERRY CHRISMAS! I HOPE THOU HATH RECIVETH THY GHIFTS WEL. I AM A BUSY MAN, BUT I NEVAR SKIME OUT ON CHILDREENS FIRST PRESENTS!

ENJOY THY KNIVES, I GAVE THINE LADIES ERDSTEEL DAGGERS FOR LUCK ON REACHING THE THRONE. I ALSO GIVE KNIVES TO THE BABIES SO THEY MAY GROW UP TO BE WARRIORS.

WARM REGERDS,

SANTA LOUX."

The "thunk" sound from the fireplace had startled them. Nouma having no idea what christmas was at. Reading the letter. She understood the words perfectly. Having no so good handwriting herself still. Smiling at seeing who wrote it. Hopefully the twins don't grow up to become little tricksters and catch Santa Loux in a trap.

The twins were napping. Must be the father's side of family to have the magically ability to not be woken from such loud sudden noises. Happily curled up around eachother.

[fellomenking]

A jar wrapped in twine was left at the foot of the door of his large bedroom chambers. Inside he would find a talisman that dawned symbols of the crucible blessing along with Erdtree Worship symbols, all wrapped lovingly together in faded red twine and gold beads. A letter also sat in the jar that was written in messy handwriting, with um... a few typos to say the least.

"DEAR KING MORGOTT,

I HOPE THIS GHIFT FINDS THEE WELL. I KNOWEIST THOU'RT A BUSE MAN RUILING THY KINGDOME. THY FATHER HATH TOLD ME OF THEE AND HOW GOOD THOU HATH BEEN ALL YEAR AROUND, AND I AGREED FULL HERTEDLY!!

TAKE THIS TAILISMAN AS A BLESSIN FROME ME TO THOU! HAVE A VERIE MERRY CHRISMAS!

SANTA LOUX"

@thefirsteldenlord

... By the grace of the Erdtree, he could practically hear the booming voice just by reading the parchment.

[bloodrosebriars]

A tin box was found at the foot of the mausoleum that was humbly wrapped in a bow of scrapped fabric. Inside he would find a talisman with symbols of the crucible blessing wrapped in black twine and tarnished gold beads. A letter could also be found in the box , a little letter that looked to be written by 10 year old with a broken arm, but also with the eloquence of a grandpa trying to send you a text. It read this:

"DEAR MOHG, LORDE OF BLOD,

I HOPE THIS GHIFT FINDS THEE WELL. CHRISMAHS TIME IS HERE, AND SANTA LOUX IS VERY IMPRESED WITH HOW GOUD THOU HATH BEEN ALL YEAR. I AM VERY PROUD OF THEE!

HAVE A VERIE MERY CHRISTMASSE!

SANTA LOUX"

The crucible? Really? Talk about not knowing what to get someone for the holidays! Ah, oh well; it’s the thought that counts. Besides, Mohg would like to think he’s been very good this year, too. Finally, some appreciation around this place!

Happy holidays!!

[arikos-of-caelid]

A huge Jar wrapped in a bow of twine is found at the foot of Ariko's bed. Inside was a a dagger that while looked not that out of the ordinary, upon closer inspection was there was little reservoirs that could hold perfumes and other spices, preferably for offensive attacks and perfumes.

There was also some dried herbs inside the jar as well, wrapped in little sacks to keep them safe. Inside the jar was a note that read.

"DEAR ARIKEOS OF CALID,

I HEAR THEE LIKE PERFEUMES AND THINGS THAT REEK WHILE FIGHTING THY FOES, SO I FOUND THIS FOR YE. HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRYSMAS!

WARM REGERDS,

SANTA LOUX"

Arikos's eyes light up upon seeing the armament. In fact, he almost slaps himself across the cheek for not thinking of the idea himself first. With a wide smile, he uncorks the reservoir, pours in some liquid, and makes a slash across some spare parchment, leaving a trail of sunflower oil in its wake. A wide smile, and chuckle, as he then reads the letter and shakes the vial of dried herbs "...And dried Arteria Leaf too! What a kind and insightful fellow this 'Santa Loux' must be."

Celebrating National Pie Day in Destin

Did you know today is National Pie Day? If you find yourself in Destin, you are in luck! Whether you enjoy the traditional apple, chocolate cream, key lime or shepherd pie, you won't have to go far to find the perfect slice.

For those who crave something sweet and sour, the key lime pie at Dewey Destin's Harborside satisfies all of your taste buds. It is homemade daily, and is light and creamy.  The generous slice is served with whipped topping. It is one of my all time favorites! I suggest ordering a whole pie for the table. Really, it is that good. If you have a large group, you'll end up ordering more slices after you try a bite! Dewey Destin's is located near the harbor.

http://www.destinseafood.com/destinharbor/

Follow up your brunch at The Donut Hole with a slice of homemade Pecan or Chocolate Cream Pie. The sweet tooth in your group will thank you. They are located in Destin and Santa Rosa Beach.

If your crew has many individual tastes, head over to Mary's Kitchen. They feature a wide variety of pies including Apple Crumb, Coconut Meringue, Coconut Cream, Cherry, Chocolate Pecan, and Chocolate Peanut Butter to name a few. Mary's Kitchen is a quaint little cafe with 50's decor, found near Big Kahuna's and The Track.

Remember, if you prefer a more savory flavor, McGuire's Shepherd pie still counts as pie!  This casserole filled with ground steak and veggies is topped off with their special Irish mashed potatoes.  It is a hearty meal. Like many of their dishes, this can be shared. And yes, McGuire's serves regular pie as well.

Why Celebrate?

National Pie Day, not to be confused with Pi (3.14) day, has been celebrated since the 1970's when a pie-loving Colorado school teacher declared January 23, National Pie Day. So what if it's not an official holiday? Who am I to argue with a teacher?

Verses for this blog

Okay, so in order for me to flesh out my ideas and headcanons for Godfrey (and Serosh), I've decided to come up with a few different verses to organize my dabbles and RP related to them.

Verse: [returned] will be the most common verse because it the most multi muse and multi verse friendly when in RP. This verse is for when Godfrey has returned to the Lands Between but has not become Elden Lord again yet. This will be used mainly for RP, but may contain dabbles here and there for lore.

Verse: [elden lord] will be the verse where Godfrey returns to the Lands Between and successfully becomes Elden Lord again. RP will be open for this but will obviously be littered with dabbles for lore reasons.

Verse: [badlands] is a verse that will be extremely dabble heavy. RP will be open to it if anyone wants to do it but it's going to be a more rough verse. This verse will lay out the lore of Godfrey as Horah Loux, before and after becoming Elden Lord. There will be subverses for this one to indicate whether this is before he became Elden Lord or after. Verse: [chieftain of the badlands] will be before he becomes Elden Lord, and verse: [banished] will be after he loses grace and returns to the badlands. I will make sure lay down trigger and content warnings for when I use this verse. There will be very graphic depictions of violence, gore, war, etc. There will also be child abuse and neglect depicted, so there will be serious content warnings tagged and underlined.

Verse: [dragon bebes] is an au verse made with my RP partner @clueless-tarnished. Not an open verse.

Verse: [santa loux] is a seasonal verse for Godfrey to celebrate christmas. This includes open RP and dabbles.

[thefirsteldenlord]

Even Santa Loux gets a present. Soon he would notice some horns in the coloured gold and black in Serosh's mane. Taking a closer look Solis and Luna being already mischevious before even learning how to crawl.

Their attention to Santa Loux now. He was greeted with happy squeals and giggles. Both of them raising their arms out to him. Calling for him

"baapaa!...baaapaaa!"

Serosh was unfazed by the pieces of horns stuck on his head. Funny enough, this wasn't his first rodeo.

"There art the little lasses!" He can't help but grin at them. They're just so cute!

He holds his arms out to hold them. Hopefully they don't recognize him as their grandpa!

[thefirsteldenlord]

Santa Loux Open Rp!!

Note: anyone is welcome to join this rp. If you want something a little more specific to happen in this rp just send me a message.

It's the most busiet time of the year.

He counts the number of sleeping pots he holds in his huge rutsack. 1, 2,3,4,... 14 sleeping pots?? How is that possible? He was sure he had at least 20 of these things encase if someone was awake and saw him. He grunted and stroked his long braided white beard in quick contemplation. What could he do if he ran out? He could go find more St. Trinas lillies, but time wasn't on his side. It was almost time for the big night, the night where he would travel across the Lands Between far and wide to deliver presents to all the good kids and tarnished. During that journey he wouldn't have time to just stop and collect some St. Trinas lillies. He checks his rune pouch, another grunt leaves him as he realizes buying St. Trinas lillies are out of the question. How does only have 200 runes? Oh wait, he had to buy do some spirituning for his reindeer companion, Serosh. He needed to carry his giant sack full of gifts somehow.

A gust of ice cold wind passes by, and he turns his back towards it to face his companion. To say Serosh wasn't having it was an understatement. He was pawing at his definitely real antlers. The bells attached to them jingling incessantly as his claws batted them. He wasn't too fond of the bright red harness on his either. He hadn't moved much since Santa Loux put the harness on him, he just plopped down on the ground and let Loux drag him around like he had succumb to his fate.

"Not much longer, Serosh." He assured his spectral lion reindeer. The big day is almost here, and there was still so much left to do.

Perona leaving little cakes and cookies for Santa Loux.

Doesn’t know where to get milk, so she makes a big ol’ thing of coffee instead.
