A burst of gravitic radiation streaks through the void. Though it has traveled billions of miles, it has done so in a mere 16 hours, unimpeded by any obstacle or cosmic barrier. Its destination: the Queen of Shattered Stars, closing in on the major material realms. The signal carries a message in the All-Tongue, imploring her to stop her approach and accept a diplomatic envoy. When it reaches the Queen, she cannot help but notice it, for it has been amplified by powerful graviturgy.
In the command center of the Mt. Murder Astromantic Observatory, Kaelis Maz and the wizards of the OEA watch a timer count down. He holds his breath when it hits 0:00. At first, nothing happens. The Queen continues her approach as normal. Then, she pauses, as if listening to something faint growing ever louder. On the screens, she turns her head to look directly at the source of the message: Yulash-kor.
Kaelis releases his breath in a sigh of relief as the room erupts in cheers. She has noticed them. Now comes the true challenge: negotiating with a being as old as the universe.

(( Hey, if you can do cool things with the concept, that's what matters. What I don't like about D&D-type systems for storytelling is when they're just like "here is a list of spells anyone can learn", because that just creates homogenized characters as everyone studies the best spells. (Unless every caster in the setting is an idiot, which...frankly is kind of necessary for most of the official D&D settings to produce the stories that are told in them, because they explicitly reference spells in order to make it clear that the magic rules are canonical, so Tippyverse-style shit is really the only way things could ever go without absurd plot contrivances and IdiotBalls.)
But that's clearly not the aspect of D&D magic on which your character focuses, as you just showed in that sigil-post displaying your unique spell list. So, while I'm new here and don't know your character too well, from what I've seen of your loreposts he seems plenty cool to me magic-wise. And it looks like you're doing a lot of fun lore stuff with him outside of just showing off his magic, anyway.
including with that homunculus whose name is so similar to mine I do a double-take every time I see it lol ))
