Enjoy some past Elliantare Starweaver art, now that she's joined the others at level cap in the Dragon Isles (ty timewalking).

Elli was, in a lot of ways, the prototype for @serai-querel (my FFXIV au ra), but her voice is coming up again - just like all my kaldorei have been recently (gosh, I wonder why?) Who knows, she might actually get a fleshed-out TRP and some roleplay time...

❀ What is a muse you want to play but haven’t? Why haven’t you played them yet?

I almost answered this with Elliantare, my fairly optimistic and upbeat night elf monk. But really, I took almost all of Elliantare's concept and repurposed it for @serai-querel, my happy little lizzerd (au ra) in FFXIV.

No, I think the one that's been lingering for a few years that I haven't played at all is a night elf demon hunter - the muse in-game is currently named Saeleyrn but that's a placeholder from her WRA>MG transfer. A Warden that lost faith in Maeiv while pursing Illidan in Outland, she ultimately accepted Illidan's vision of the sacrifices needed to defeat the Legion. But now? That's... over, right? Demons still exist, they still have aspirations, but the Legion's been shattered and Sargeras is imprisoned. What does she find in a life now, after living the single-minded purposes of Warden and Illidari?

But despite having leveled and geared the character (Havoc DH is a guilty pleasure to play), I haven't written for her. Part is the general difficulty of finding night elf RP at all, part is finding the right balance for her character, and part is that more people seem interested in low fantasy RP and demon hunters are... definitely not that.

We'll see. But for now she keeping knocking around in the back of my mind - maybe someday she'll kick down the door and demand to be in the limelight for a while.

Thanks for the ask, @nzoth-the-corruptor!

Just two besties out making the Dragon Isles safe for Lucky Duck.

Mal'narae Duskwind by Sylessae

Like Elliantare and @tavarres, Mal'narae is another one of my OCs clawing and fighting to attain main character status alongside Kyuusei and @longveil...

Another chapter in the saga of my night elf monk, Elliantare, who doesn't have her own tumblr.

Replies in Discord when I mention that one of my lesser-played characters is young, optimistic, and has a functional relationship with both of her still-living parents:

BOTH HER PARENTS? Rare Wait, both of them??? She has parents and they aren't evil? Mary sue!

Me, laughing: I know it makes her a special snowflake, having a complete and functional family, but I didn't think I was breaking lore too much...

After a few months of beating on him every week like a misbehaving piñata, Star Augur Etraeus finally dropped the last piece for Elliantare’s Nighthold set. Even then, the stingy old coot didn’t give it up until the Seal of Broken Fate bonus roll.

Been having way too much fun playing content on a new alt, even if she doesn’t seem to have a voice for RP... yet. It was early Warlords when I last played a monk - I feel like I’ve been missing out!

Elliantare vibes [one, two]

🐜: Which of your muses is the most clever/intelligent/educated one? & 🐌: Which of your muses is the least clever/intelligent/educated one?

Clever, intelligent, and educated are three different things in my opinion - with Clever vs Intelligent being like WIS vs INT, and Education really just a measurement of the facts you have at your command without needing reference material. But I digress...

When all is said and done, I think Seraanna (@longveil) tops the overall clever/intelligent/educated list - although @tavarres is likely the wisest, and @annadia-thorn probably has the most base cunning.

On the other end of the spectrum, Annadia is probably the least "book smart" of my characters (the girl definitely skipped out on as many classes as she could) and you could certainly argue that Elliantare (no tumblr) is the most naïve by far...

Thank you, @nzoth-the-corruptor!

Elliantare isn’t quite sure what she’s stumbled into, but she did find a piece of paper on the floor with a carefully written note:

Welcome to my retreat. –S

(Star Augur Etraeus’ room bugged, staying open to The Void because Elli burned him down too fast on Yet Another Attempt to get her Nighthold set gloves.)
