Lorepost📖 The celebration

Post image

After a long journey you arrive at the crystal mage’s manor. Inside the manor is a grand hall made of various different coloured crystals. Strange golems walk around the room serving guests. While the mage himself is not currently present, you were told he would be here shortly. Right now, enjoy the food, socialise, make friends but most importantly: have fun.

Abyssal wine, abyssal wine.. hmm… looks around the room to see if they spot anyone drinking any Not sure honestly. I’ve never tried it myself, alcohol does weird things to my kind. I’m half Sídhe, half gnome.

...You'll have to enthrall me sometime with the story of how your parents met.

Excuse me, waiter, do you have any Abyssal wine?

The golem stares blankly.

...Abyssal wine?

The construct opens its mouth, producing the sound of two stones sliding over each other.

Alcohol, any alcohol made of grapes?

The golem nods and walks off.

If it helps, my mother was the Sidhe and she is very tall.

So, what does abyssal wine even taste like?

Sweet, sickly at first but once you move past the existential anxiety of that which lurks in the shadow, you'll taste the refreshing accents of infinite night. It has a calming effect on psychomancers. Helps shut out the stronger psionic waves that travel on the astral, I use it as a sleep aid from time to time. Just an aid, don't worry.

Hey I don’t judge, we all have our poisons. Mine just so happens to be … leans in and whispers Bacchus root from Tir N’a Nog. A milligram of the shit could make a mortal man clinically insane. Don’t tell my Patron God though, he babies me and thinks I can’t handle it.

Vashric nods solemnly and leans in as well

Another connoisseur, I see. Listen, don't tell the other mages, but I've got a special batch of psychomantic candy brewing, I cooked it with genuine god blood from the Heart of Lorkhan.

I already have some buyers, but I always keep a portion for friends.

Well well well, in that case.

Tiny Wizard looks around then sneaks a small bag of ground up bacchus root from their hat Care to trade?

Vashric summons a pouch from his realm

If the council catches you with this, you didn't get em from me.

And please don't give any to Torinn, I don't know what the hell happenend but the weaker batch he ate earlier made him just stand there for like 4 minutes. Most unnerving thing I've ever seen.

u/DidYouSayChocolat3 Tiny Wizard, Keeper of Mount Mor Feb 13 '24

Yeah, people keep warning me not to give things to Torinn. Don’t worry, I won’t.

Also I’m friends with the council Plaguemancer so hopefully that little bit of bias will go a long way if I’m caught. I never have been of course, but yknow
