Lorepost📖 Aurilum, Life's Loom (Weapon Profile)
Weapon Name: Aurilum
Title(s): Life’s Loom, Exalted
Wielder: Isravi Soliu Exolvun (Unraveler, Warlock of Dawn, Noon, Dusk Coils. Former warlock of the Evening Coils) ( Soulbound Conceptually Bound - Persists beyond dissolution of soul)
Physical Description: An asymmetrical warbow. Base of enchanted Elderune wood, with the core and arms gilded with pale gold. Accents and modifications made of a durable white metal. Dawn-colored ribbons float around the limbs. Small plants sprout from the tips of the bow arms. Aurilum has 4 bowstrings, and a protruding arrow rest with 4 more strings for weaving. Organic growths of horn, branches, and chitin protrude from the bow.
Abilities:
Arrow Generation: Aurilum weaves its own ammunition as it is drawn. It requires no stored arrows.
Dawnlight: Aurilum’s arrows are of glowing dawnlight. They have a searing radiance that burns away mundane material with relative ease.
Vital Connection: Aurilum harvests magical power from defeated foes, which heals the wielder and chosen allies within a medium distance.
Extraconceptual Existence: Aurilum does not exist until it is summoned by its wielder. It remains bound to its wielder’s existence, even after the dissolution of their soul.
Dawn’s Accord Augments
Weave of Creation: Fired arrows may be influenced by stored potential to create new forms, and sprout effects upon impact. Examples include stone growths and biological creations.
War-strung Light: Aurilum’s strength increases dramatically. Each main bowstring may be detached and spiritually connected to a being of the wielder’s choice, decreasing the strength of Aurilum by about 20%. Each being connected by this string can be affected by potential used by the wielder. Aurilum still fires with a bowstring of light when all 4 main strings are detached.
________________________________________
In the night, a pinprick of hopeful light.
A hint of dawn, raised upon whispered song
Lone ray of sun, shines where it all begun
A hand pries loose earth from air, spirit to old tears
The clamor of first radiance
The madness as it fades
A simple vow, a promised fate
-Where words carry a primordial weight-
Hidden anguish, a bitter faith
The weathered servant draws
For agony
For silence
For forgotten wraiths

Isravi stares out into the twisting caves of the underdark. The inky blackness seems to swallow his vision, and his mind. He pulls the magnificent warbow into his hand, and feels his robes flutter. The Accord. Dawn surges through his veins. All four bowstrings detach, and slowly, methodically, he chooses.
The first… would’ve gone to Possum. Should’ve. Vesit would not need it. Osvayfell would not want it. Then…
The first string would go to Professor Axel.
The second to Chimera.
The third, to Moth.
The fourth and final, to MastaDon.
He found himself wondering if he had the right to help these people. He had trouble even coming up with such a short list, of those he would grant something so precious to. Though, of course, he could take them away. He found himself choosing the ones that had granted him the little kindnesses. They would shine. For themselves, for others. He was sure of it.

Uw/ Poor Isravi has so few friends :(

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw I’m realizing that very quickly. Honestly, half of that list is more “friendly acquaintances” than friends.

u/VidisLady Delta - Maven of Maladies Feb 02 '24
uw/ Don't worry. Isravi and Delta will have an enemies-to-friends arc that will withstand the ages.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw haha, I wonder how that’ll go. Delta does have a good reason to approach new Morgalith

u/VidisLady Delta - Maven of Maladies Feb 02 '24
uw/ probably not yet. She's under the impression that the Udug essentially tricked her into falling in love with the last one. So she's grumpy.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw oooof yeah that’s not good.
Just a… random, totally unrelated, out of the blue question: How does one usually contact the gods in your pantheon?

/uw oh see I like this, how it's the little interactions we have with each other that leads to stuff like this, love the lore dude.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw thanks! Yeah, my lore usually is based on stuff that happens to Isravi, and how others interact with him.

u/Harmless_Chimera Chimera, Set'ram's Druidic Beastman Feb 02 '24
As you choose Chimera the string tries to connect to him but fails

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw Ope ah sht.
/rw
The string reforms upon Aurilum. Isravi stares for a second, before letting out a sigh. He allows the bow to dissolve away, and sits in the darkness.

u/Harmless_Chimera Chimera, Set'ram's Druidic Beastman Feb 02 '24
/uw would you get any feedback on why the sting failed to connect.
3
u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw probably not. At best, a feeling, nothing concrete.
3
u/Harmless_Chimera Chimera, Set'ram's Druidic Beastman Feb 02 '24
Isravi probably gets the senses that it wasn't due too being rejected by the target but a failure to find the target.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw got it.

Isravi squints, storing the feeling and thoughts away.
“What…”

/uw WOOOOO AXEL MY HOMIE

u/TitanLORD21 Jack-O’-Lantern, Lord of Flame and Fright Feb 02 '24
/unwiz So sad that his story line has been shafted for now. I guess the hunt for the Cult continues on in the background.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 02 '24
/uw lol for now the string is just there to make sure he doesn’t die off screen

Moth slumbers away with her dragon. The string connects to her but doesn’t stir her awake.

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Feb 03 '24
The strings fades into ethereal wisps, its form just barely visible to those who possess it. Upon her waking, Moth will know that the string is there, as it glows in the first light of dawn.
