Domnos verse

Blog not even finished but remembered I could make a pride icon 👁️

Oh but also, I’m doing other stuff simultaneously but 🔫 hi, come plot with me

I’ll be reblogging this periodically, like a number of the calls I post, but please like this if you’d like me to come harass you @ you in IMs for plotting! Where I can go over the verses I have (both already on the blog and unofficial/unlisted ones) and we can figure out how best to interact for some full-fledged threads 😌

𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐄 & 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄

A short, but bound to expand, list of some important places and concepts derived from Veric’s lore.

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 & 𝐂𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

⦿ The Great Continent — informal/colloquial name for the landmass housing many locations and structures central to the arcane sciences; regionally, the continent is formally referred to by a number of various names, most commonly Atoi in southern regions, Rembron in the furthest northern settlements, and Atar in some of the larger cities on the far western coast, along with a number of names given from other civilizations across the wider world. In the Mirror Basin, whose residents are a mixture of travelers and immigrants from around and without the continent, the name Great Continent is most often used so as to avoid confusion. ⦿ The Mirror Basin — a large impact basin home to a number of cities and smaller settlements, resting near the east coast of the Great Continent. The largest of its boroughs, Magai, is a common destination for travelers the world over in search of education in or practitioners of the arcane sciences, a “floating” city held aloft over the basin’s drainage by the last remnants of a large, hollowed boart deposit first uncovered some thousand years ago. Dotted around Magai, which lies near-center in the basin, can be found the smaller cities Lovo, Arca, and Ambis.The easternmost edge of the basin sees conflict from time to time, the result of outside aggressors seeking to claim the last of Mirror Basin’s greatest and most valuable boart deposit. ⦿  Arv-En Institute of Arcane Science — most often shortened to “the Arv-En Institute”, or simply “Arv-En”, and considered the foremost academy of arcane sciences on the Continent, and possibly in the world. A school that teaches every major discipline of arcane science: from more practical and widespread studies such as alchemy, arcane runology, arcane biology, and common enchantment; to more esoteric or specialized departments comprised of the likes of divination, attunement and artifice, and the more theoretical spiritual arcaea. Students of all ages are accepted for various courses of study that differ in length and intensity dependent on the subject matter. Those who graduate from the school with honors are often granted annual research stipends if any or all of their work is contributed back into the institute for educational purposes, and a great portion of professors and instructors of the institute receive both a regular salary for teaching work in combination with smaller bonuses for independent, outside studies, though there are also some few graduates who delve instead into confidential research without funding or other interference from the institute. Located within Magai, in the Mirror Basin. ⦿ Artuz School of Morphology — once considered a school of heretical teachings, after a faction of former instructors from Arv-En left the institute to embrace and teach practices more akin to grounded, modern sciences, the Artuz School is now considered a sister school that provides an alternate path of education for those less gifted or otherwise entirely unable to perform arcane science, though the wider world outside of the institute still appears skeptical of the practices of biology, medicine, and other important areas of study without the application of arcane sciences or other foreign systems of magic.

𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 & 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐒

⦿ Arcane power — the innate power found in all things, generated autonomously by living bodies and bound into the inanimate upon an object’s creation. Arcane power can be manipulated in a number of ways, and those that do so are practitioners of arcane science, though due to the potentially dangerous and volatile nature of manipulating the base makeup of a living being or inanimate object, the practice is bound by a number of rules and regulations that all practitioners must follow at penalty of confinement and, for the worst offenses, the binding of their own arcane power—a restriction that forbids a scientist from establishing contact with and manipulating the arcane powers of people or things outside of their own bodies. ⦿ Arcane science — overarching designation of any practice that utilizes western methods or systems of magic, particularly those that originated from or were adapted within the Great Continent. While there are a number of forms that exist without label, those that are common or dangerous enough to be labeled are often heavily regulated outside of times of war. Arcane science, notably, is not the only designation of magic practice, and even within the Continent there exist mages who utilize other systems that do not fall under this designation. Those who study or operate within the bounds of known arcane science are referred to specifically as scientists or arcane scholars, never as ‘mages’ or ‘wizards’ in polite society. The main vehicles of arcane science are as follows:

     — alchemy, the purification and transmutation of materials by altering the patterns formed by the material’s arcane energies;      — arcane runology, imbuing written words and symbols with arcane power for specific purposes, usually by means of an arcanely-charged medium (for instance, special ink created to store arcane power);      — arcane biology, the practice of modifying the living bodies of humans and animals by altering patterns within their natural arcane energies, permitted only for the sake of healing illness and injury;      — common enchantment, an unspecific umbrella term meant to catch any forms of scientific methods or practices that combine elements from any two or three of the above vehicles

While these designations serve nearly 87% of the population of known arcane scientists, there are some lesser-known or more specific practices and areas of arcane study considered esoteric or otherwise underutilized by the wider community of scientists, including:

     — divination, the observation and recording of celestial arcane energies, often used for predictions such as weather conditions and atmospheric changes, though also used colloquially (and somewhat controversially) as a supposed method for predictions of future events;      — attunement and artifice, in theory two separate arts that greatly overlap in practice. Attunement is similar to arcane runology in that arcane power is being channeled by written instructions to serve a particular purpose; however, arcane attunement utilizes the specific powers found within the base material itself, rather than requiring a vehicle such as enchanted ink to imbue power into the rune, and requires highly-specific knowledge of the base material and the patterns of its arcane power in order to be utilized successfully, hence its general disuse by the wider community of scientists. Artifice is an evolution of attunement, in which the base material is shaped or physically modified in order to better suit an intended purpose, i.e the creation of a pencil or pen that is then enchanted to write, rather than simply marking a chunk of lead or charcoal with a rune that is already enchanted.      — spiritual arcaea. a number of practices related to observing and interacting with a theoretical ‘spiritual world’, such as observing or communing with spirits of the deceased, or other entities that exist on a different or separate plane. Largely theoretical, with its only known proven science to be the now-forbidden art of necromancy. ⦿  Arcane Tenets — a list of commandments supposedly bestowed upon mankind by the Enlightened when arcane science was first discovered three thousand years ago. There are many, and they serve as the basis even of some common laws in cities and regions where arcane science is prominent, though the primary tenets speak to the uses of arcane science as a benevolent force meant for the protection of the planet and the overall betterment of mankind. Many schools of arcane sciences, including Arv-En, require their applicants to name some or even all of the tenets in order to be admitted for instruction—which, in its completeness, numbers just under a hundred specific rules and guidelines for practitioners of the sciences.

❝ With you as my opponent, I won’t hold anything back. ❞

❝ Regrettable…but there was no other way. ❞ 

❝ You will not rile me with such childish tactics. ❞ 

❝ You really hope to unsettle me with childish jokes? ❞ 

❝ Prepare yourself for death while you still can. ❞ 

❝ As usual, you’re here at a most inopportune moment. ❞ 

❝ I will not die by your hand. ❞ 

❝ You don’t value human life at all. ❞ 

❝ If you stand in my way, I will cut you down until you have no blood left to bleed. ❞ 

❝ I wish you were someone whose heart could be swayed by my words and deeds. ❞ 

❝ Let’s see if your resolve is a match for my own. ❞ 

❝ I’m simply seeing through a promise I made to myself a long time ago. ❞ 

❝ If you don’t want to be destroyed completely, I suggest you turn tail and flee. ❞ 

❝ If you still wish to fight, I won’t stop you. I will simply use the full extent of my power…and crush you. ❞ 

❝ I knew when next we met one of our paths would have to come to an end. ❞ 

❝ All that matters is when death takes place, not how. ❞ 

❝ I have no intention of dying today. ❞ 

❝ You don’t have even a shred of self-awareness, do you? ❞ 

❝ Come at me, so that I may put you out of your misery! ❞ 

❝ Even if my arms and legs failed me, I would still find a way to move forward. ❞

❝ Sorry, but it’s about time I make my exit… ❞

❝ Ah, what a burden to be great at everything. ❞

❝ If you were actually good for anything at all, I’d at least expect you to recognize who I am… ❞

❝ What exactly happened to make you this way? ❞

❝ Thanks to you, my own long-held ambitions are nearly destroyed. ❞

❝ You look…familiar. Have we met? ❞

❝ I’m glad to have your strength, if only for today. ❞

❝ What does it achieve, us killing each other here? ❞

❝ It doesn’t matter what I’m saying, does it? You aren’t even listening. ❞

❝ You’ve grown lovelier than ever. ❞

❝ So sad that our reunion should take place on the battlefield. ❞

❝ Well, I’m sure we have much more to talk about… But how about we settle things first? ❞

❝ Enough! You’ve bested me. ❞

❝ Right until the very end, I’ve read this whole thing terribly wrong… ❞

❝ I will return your kindness one day… I promise ❞

❝ I feel like we’ve known each other for a while, and yet, I’m still fascinated by you. ❞

❝ You’ve done well. Leave the rest to me. ❞

❝ We can’t blaze ahead if we let the status quo confide us. ❞

❝ Whenever I’m with you, I always feel like I have to mind my manners. It’s awful. ❞

❝ I’m happy to have this time with you. ❞

𝐃𝚰𝚳𝚰𝐓𝐑𝚰

❝ This never gets easier for me… ❞

❝ You will regret all that you have done. ❞

❝ I’m sorry, but did you really think you were going to get away with this? ❞

❝ I have no wish to kill you, but I’m afraid you have left me no choice. ❞

❝ I have never imagined such a day would come to pass. ❞

❝ I am very sorry, but that is not something to joke about. ❞

❝ You are trying to anger me, is that it? ❞

❝ You are a monster. The lowliest beast I have ever known. ❞

❝ Why… Why are you here? ❞

❝ You are nothing but a lowly beast scavenging for scraps. ❞

❝ I will crush anyone who blocks my path. ❞

❝ If they’re going to stand in our way, they must die. ❞

❝ You are rather calm for one in your position. ❞

❝ I would tell you to get out of my way, but I hightly doubt that you would abide. ❞

❝ I have no pity for one such as you. ❞

❝ I cannot shake this feeling of regret… ❞

❝ One must be prepared to fight anywhere, no matter the conditions. ❞

❝ There must be something I can do to save them. ❞

❝ Ah, this takes me back… I used to love this when I was a child. ❞

❝ That was not my intention, but I apologize if I hurt your feelings. ❞
