Kari that's beautiful!!
I'd honestly never thought to giving a label to Eva's ancestral homelands clan ('clan' just seemed appropriate, but I suppose tribe, lineage, or whatever other communal noun might make sense could as easily be substituted). Her family's surname - Zelorius - would only encompass one branch of a greater tree. The signature landmark of that place was the Flowstone Falls I'd mentioned in an earlier post, so perhaps they could all be lumped as "The Flowstone Clan" or somesuch - though from all I've seen of elezen arrogance it would probably make more sense for a name to be used. Even though the lands are destroyed they may still be regarded historically by other duskwight who may have traded, bartered, or whatever. I'll give this further thought, or perhaps I'll finally figure out a surname for the clan's Elder (a man we've only referred to as Elder Roven so far).
Also as kind of an afterthought, when I have RPed Eva's descent to that place, her linkpearls ceased working. While we know for a fact that linkpearls do continue to work underground in places like Mun-Tuy Cellars, Nanawa Mines, etc. I've left the reasons for this obscure intentionally. Perhaps it's just so deep underground that they stop working. Perhaps the "Living Stone" interferes with the signal. I don't give any specific reason, but it's always been important to me that the trek down there leave her isolated from the surface. I just thought that was an interesting point I'd add.
I love this thread~

Quote:From a role play standpoint, what are some of the reasons one might put a Duskwight linkpearl into use?I can only speak to my own character here, but to kind of reacquaint herself with people similar to her own after her original homeland was wiped out would bring her some comfort, I think. She now has no remaining family except for one very distant cousin, and that - to her - would make preserving those traditions she was brought up to follow even more important.
Quote:From an OOC standpoint, how might a player utilize a Duskwight linkpearl to enhance their role play experience?A place to duskwights to call for help when they feel no one else would answer? A place to rally duskwights together to celebrate cultural things like festivals and such, if such things are a part of one's clan's culture. I am probably overlooking some other great possibilities here as well. What if there was some overlap in traditions between the clans? Perhaps some sort of annual ceremony that's celebrated by many/most of the groups. Or perhaps representatives from each of the clans assembled on regular schedules to discuss things like truces, sharing of resources, and whatever else. I'm reaching a bit maybe, but just trying to brainstorm.
