Shami Dragonfire the Weaver of the Elements, Weaver of the Eternal Star
DescriptionA quite unremarkable looking young Gnomish girl still has managed to catch your attention. All her movements are subtle and quite unassuming. Her entire demeanor seems of one not seeking to draw any attention upon her and liking it when she is alone. However, she does seem to have an elegance and a flair for the dramatic of sorts. As if she is quite conscious of how she appears.
Her physical appearance is equaly unassuming, chestnut colored fluffy hair on a rounded head with a pleasant expression on her face. Her torso is best described as plump, but still she seems to be of appropriate strength and fitness you would expect for a Gnome of her young age. Short stubby legs hold all that up. Their pace clearly must be rather short, yet they seem athletic enough to get moderate speed out of them. Her eyes are bright green and seem to shine with vigorous youth. They gaze into the world with a sense of wisdom that might seem surprising for one of that age. As if she has seen many things already. Yet her general countenance seems to suggest laughter is nearer than anger or sadness.
The one thing that contrasts heavily with her overall appearance is the many lines on her of multi-colored hues. They seem to be tattoos, criss-crossing and intersecting with meticulously woven precision. As far as you can tell those patterns seem to cover her entire body, including her face. You see lines of turquoise and cyan, red and brown, but also white bright yellow. The last two colors you see are white and green. There is no apparent hint to the meaning behind all that.
One item she seems to be fond of is a sinched and scorched book. You notice it peeking out of a deep pocket, beyond that

RoleChapter 20 Shami Dragonfire Added Thu Jan 19 12:53:46 2023 at level 51:I was hesitant to do so originally, I suppose because I felt guilty about Therlonius' demise, but I have decided to take up his lastname. When discussing my past with Zsarreyen, our High Herald, she mentioned that I should indeed do so. And, after much consideration I do believe it is right to do it. Even though we never met before, our fates are now intertwined. Where his research ended, mine began. If I hadn't nullified his experiment, it was surely going to be a huge success. His name would have been on everyone's lips. It has come to me now, I shall carry his name, so that if I succeed this achievement will still be associated with him. I hope I may honor him and the path he has set me on.

RoleChapter 16 A journal by Shami - Chapter 5 - Containment and protection Added Tue Jan 10 13:36:49 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Containing the Elements and stay safe from disaster -
My suspicion is that Therlonius Dragonfire put shields on himself. Either they had fallen just as the blast hit, or the explosion was so powerful the shields didn't matter. I believe it was the latter.
One thing is very sure, I do not wish to evaporate into nothingness. I have pondered this question many times and believe I have found the solution I need. Just as Therlonius I will use a cauldron. But, I will not shield myself, I will shield the cauldron!
I believe that doing such will constrain the Elements so that they do not are denied to expand, if catastrophy hits. That will contain any explosion and keep it under control.
As I clearly remember Therlonius used a glass orb to capture the essence of all the Elementals, flowing in the cauldron below. From his journal I learned that he commissioned that orb from the Tower of High Sorcery. I expect from the Archmage himself. I shall have to do the same. We have met already, perhaps I can persuade him to fashion such an orb for me as well.
I believe I have a plan. Let's put it into motion!

RoleChapter 3 Curiosity killed the ... Added Mon Nov 7 15:20:48 2022 at level 1:Some years later Shami sits in her usual corner, eyeing the hustle and bustle of the Hamsah Mu'Tazz market square. She routinely inspects the usual merchants and travelers, nothing out of the ordinary. Coming into view from the west at a fast pace, a tall man with a grim face catches her attention. Wearing a dark purple robe with pointed hood he seems to glide through the crowd. As the man turns to head towards the northern gate, the last light of the day catches something in his left hand. Instantly aware of it, the man lets it fall in a pocket. Too late, Shami's curiosity is piqued. Swiftly she follows before the man can leave the city and the gate closes.
Not entering Balator proper, the man heads east towards the nearby fields. After a brief walk the dark silhouet of an old chapel comes in sight. Unrelenting the man heads inside at equally swift pace. Eager to find out what is going on, Shami scouts the area before going around to the back of the delipated building. After a while as she sits there, back against the worn stones, incomprehensable yelling coming from within the old chapel. After a loud whooosh multi-colored light beams out of the broken windows.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Shami scans the wall for foot holds and climbs up to the nearest window. Noticing the remains of a wooden walkway, she gently falls through the window onto the old wood, not making a sound.

RoleChapter 2 Early life as a street urchin Added Mon Nov 7 15:19:52 2022 at level 1:A child of an unfortunate birth Shami was a street urchin for as long as she could remember. The orphanage did their best to provide proper lodgings and education, but all that was far too mundane for the unquenchable curiosity Shami had. She spent most of her time on the streets, returning to the orphanage only to sleep when the weather was too harsh to sleep outdoors. The steady meals, meager as they were, were also a boon.
Driven by said curiosity and quite able to use her small stature and the brash courage of youth to her advantage she soon became adapt at stealing and pick pocketing. Although she appreciated the challenge and the adrenaline rush, she did it mostly to survive. She only took from those who seemed very well capable of affording the loss. This sense of morality didn't really matter much as even the things she considered a 'score' amounted to very little in real value and life was dire.

Posted by Death_Angel on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
RoleChapter 4 A multi-colored spectacle Added Mon Nov 7 15:22:27 2022 at level 1:One floor below, the robed man stands beside a large black cauldron, filled to the brim with a bright multi-colored substance. Directly above it a small glass orb, held by a stone creature on a pillar that used to support the staircase that lead into the bell tower. Almost within arms reach sits Shami.
Clearly absorbed, the man only has eyes for whatever is going on in the cauldron. Emboldened by that and the obvious worth of that glass orb, Shami inches forward to grab it. Crawling carefully, clearing holes in the wooden flooring she approaches. After what feels like an eternity Shami holds the orb in her hand, success!
IN-TRU-DER DE-TEC-TED, MAS-TER!
As the stone creature's head turns towards Shami fiercely red eyes glare at her. Shocked she seems unaware of where she is and steps back. Falling through a hole she avoided before, she tumbles down. Orb still in hand.
SPLASH!
Shami has fallen into the cauldron! As the orb touches it's content, it seems to absorb all those colors.
BAAANG!
After a massive explosion of energy there is nothing but darkness and silence now. Although fully engorged with that multi-colored energy, Shami is still alive. Slowly she grabs the edge of the cauldron and pulls her head above the rim. The blast has flattened the old chapel, the place nothing but a scattering of old stones and blackened wood. No trace of the man.
Baffled how she could have survived such a blast, she checks herself. She feels some pain and some minor aches from being smacked onto the ground, but otherwise she feels fine. The most dramatic change is that she now has become covered with multi-colored tattoos, criss-crossing across her body.

RoleChapter 5 Finally a name Added Mon Nov 7 15:23:29 2022 at level 1:After the initial shock of the explosion has faded, Shami gathers her senses and looks around for clues to what just has happened. The orb seems to have evaporated in her hands, no trace of that. Also, even on closer inspection there is still no sign of the man. The tattered remains of the cauldron lies a stones throw away in the fields, clearly unusable now. Any residue of the colored substance that might have remained in there, surely must have drained away now. Already ruinous before, now nothing remains of the chapel, but rubble and shattered stones.
On closer inspection Shami can see a lot of scattered parchments and books. Likely there still was a remnant of a library at the chapel. Most books are too scorched and blackened to be legible but whatever can be pieced together seems to have random titles, not of a specific topic. Some seem interesting in general, but one particular book seems very promising. As much of the content of the book the cover has been singed and not all is legible. The title on the cover has been reduced to -Ele.e....l .es.a.ch and f.ndin..- The subtitle is barely more legible, but still damaged -A .ourna. by Therl.ni.s Dr.g...ire, Mast.. of ..em.n.s-
Clever as she is, one of the few things Shami did pick up at the orphanage was writing and reading. With that knowledge she skims through whatever legible words remain in the book. Based on that she learns that the name on the cover used to be Therlonius Dragonfire, Master of Elements. It seems to have been used both as a journal and a report on his experimental research. The actual research is far too advanced for her to understand, but based on the comments in the journal parts she can figure out the gist of what the work was.

RoleChapter 6 Look to your orb for warning Added Mon Nov 7 15:25:01 2022 at level 1:The theory Therlonius was researching seems to be under the assumption that as pure light breaks into multiple colors when it hits a prism, so is it the case with the elements. What we see are the broken up parts of a whole. A PURE element. Divine even, perhaps.
Based on what occured last evening it seems clear the man in the purple robe was Therlonius. Those brightly colored substances must have been all the elements, somehow made fluid and malleable. Within the book Shami found a passage that also may shed some light on the purpose of that glass orb. As the rest of the book it has been heavily singed and damaged, but some letters can still be read:
Fin...y w.rd f..m the Tow.. .. Sor..ry! Th. Orb o. .he Ele..nts .as .ee. com.let.., su.. to.. ..em lo.g en..gh. Do..n't m..t.r, I kn.w th.. .as go.n. to b. a l.b.. of pa.ie.ce. W... .h. ..b I ca. fi..lly ab..rb .he E..m.ntal fo.ce. .nto a .ingu.ar po..r!
As Shami witnessed the orb she held in her hand very rapidly absorbed the contents of the cauldron. Perhaps Therlonius hoped to use that to forge that pure element. By falling into the cauldron this process happened uncontrollably and violently.

RoleChapter 7 Multifaceted insights Added Mon Nov 7 15:26:32 2022 at level 1:Intrigued and more than a little puzzled about what had happened, Shami returns to the city of Hamsah Mu'Tazz and goes to the docks to watch the boats go by and think. After a while her gaze falls on the colored lines on her body and can't help but think "Interesting, this deep turquoise line has the same color as the water". As she contemplates that thought, the color of that particular line intensifies. That realization throws her out of her focus and the coloring returns to it's usual brightness.
"Hm, that was interesting" Shami says, as she gazes at the other lines intersecting all over her body and all the colors they have. "If turquoise is water, perhaps those red lines are fire?" She concentrates on the image of a homely fireplace and as if on cue the red lines flare up to a bright orange. As soon as she abandons the thought, the coloring fades once more.
After a while she figures out that
Turquoise = Water Red = Fire Brown = Earth Cyan = Air White = Ice Green = Ooze Yellow = Lightning
Amused she can't help but think that she has to be able to do something with this, finally her days of poverty are over!

Posted by Death_Angel on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
RoleChapter 8 A new life Added Mon Nov 7 15:29:02 2022 at level 1:As the months go by Shami is now a common sight on the Hamsah Mu'Tazz market square. Where before she avoided attention like the plague, she now revels in it. Beguiled by this marvelously colored little Gnomish girl and the spectacle she offers, folk happily toss some coins into the hat at her feet. As the sun begins to set Shami grabs it and it's contents, a broad grin on her face, as she walks towards the Drunken Efreeti, quite pleased with today's haul.
Well acquainted by now with that little girl with the colored lines on her body, Habib -the patron of the Inn- says to Shami "Looks like you had a good day again! Finally going to order that lamb?" With a smirk Shami responds "Well, we will just have to see about that. How about we start with a cup of that spiced wine of yours?". After she receives her order Shami walks to her usual table and begins to drink.
A mere moment later a dark shadow approaches, towering above Shami. Determined and elegantly the figure sits down on the bench opposite of her. Now well within the glow of the candle on the table, Shami can see that the figure is a man with a remarkably pale skin and contrasting ebony hair.
Softly the man says "You seem to be quite pleased with yourself, yet you show no true understanding of the powers you wield." Sizing up Shami as he says that, the man continues: "My name is Treelezkian Rothston and I can help you. All you have to do is come with me to Galadon where you will be trained, so that I can help avoid yet another tragedy".
The man orders a cup of the same spiced wine Shami is drinking and the two talk for a while. When the conversation ends Shami pays for both cups and follows Treelezkian to the Galadon Invoker Guild.

Posted by Death_Angel on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
RoleChapter 9 Reflections on past and future Added Fri Nov 11 05:00:27 2022 at level 12:Under the tutolage of Treelezkian Rothston, Galadon Invoker Guildmaster, Shami came to better understand the changes that occured when she fell into that cauldron. The glass orb was created to absorb all those elemental forces in that cauldron and have them fuse into it. But gently, as a sponge would absord steam from boiling water.
Shami too was infused with raw elemental force as she fell into that cauldron. Upon touching it's content, the orb instantly absorbed all of it, grounding her from the energy. She would have been evaporated otherwise, as the orb absorbed too much at once and exploded.
Wiser from the insights provided by Rothston, Shami came to feel quite intrigued by what had occured. It seems Therlonius Dragonfire was on to something and truely was about to create the purest element. If not for her interference, he likely would have succeeded.
Rothston knew of Dragonfire's pursuit, but not that he achieved such results. Honestly the man wasn't taken too seriously in his pursuit for the purest Element. He himself did not even know what that could be, even if he managed to create it. There were theories though ... be that as it may, shaping each elemental to make it malleable and as a liquid alone is an immense feat. That process would have obliterated a lesser skilled researcher. So clearly he was onto something after all!
Shown a path of knowledge and dedicaton for intellectual pursuit by Rothston, Shami fully embraced the chance offered to her and left her old habits behind. She hopes to meet and learn from Ishuli, as she seems to embody the virtues Shami has come to appreciate and aspire to.
Even in her leisure time Shami is devoted to weaving multi-colored flows, however of a far more harmless kind. She seeks to join the Heralds to become a Weaver. Even if she has abandoned her old life and has become more serious, she still likes to put on a spectacle!

RoleChapter 11 A journal by Shami - Prologue Added Tue Jan 3 13:47:40 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Prologue -
Dear reader, I hope you picked up my book because you heard of my research and wish to produce the Purest Element. And, not because you found the remains of my written thoughts somewhere, scorched beyond normal recognition, as I did with Therlonius' work. Fate has made it so that I was both witness to his greatest achievement and catalyst to his greatest failure.
His legacy has catapulted me onto the path that brought me here and now you as well. It has come to me now to reconstruct what he has discovered and achieve that which he was denied.
As this book is a journal it is a repository of my thoughts, musings and findings as I conduct the research necessary to achieve the ultimate goal! The Pure Element. To craft it and to understand it.
I welcome you to join me on this journey, to full Mastery and achievement of the Purest Element.

RoleChapter 12 A journal by Shami - Chapter 1 - Reflections first experiments Added Tue Jan 3 13:52:41 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Reflections in preparation of the first experiments -
Finally it has come this far, I have achieved all lesser shields and already some of the greater. This knowledge is paramount to enable me in my research and experimentations while avoiding evaporating into non-existence.
Currently I know only what I saw at Therlonius Dragonfire's experiment, what I was taught by Treelezkian Rothston and what I picked up on the road. I believe that the search for the Purest Element is an earnest and achievable goal, although I do not currently know what that even is. I can speculate, but that is not what a proper researcher is supposed to do. He conducts experiments and collects facts. And hopefully results, along the way.
Luckily I do know what needs to be happen in order to reach that Purest Element. At Therlonius' experiment I witnessed a cauldron, filled with liquid Elements. Each Element remained it's own, but each was in full contact with its neighbour. No friction, no sparks, and definitely no explosions (that came later).
However. As we all know this will not be achieved without true mastery of the Elements. Flame will evaporate water, water will douse fire, water can wash away earth, ice can freeze water into a solid, lightning may cause a fire. So, clearly something needs to happen to mold each Element in such a way that it interacts with the other next to it, but effortlessly. By itself, still as one, but in union with the other Elements. Only once that is achieved, the Purest Element can be attempted.
Documenting this process is the goal of this journal.

RoleChapter 13 A journal by Shami - Chapter 2 - Theorems Added Thu Jan 5 13:53:48 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Theorems and experimentations -
Unlike many other researchers, I do have the benefit of knowing what I am supposed to achieve, even if I do not yet have any inkling of an idea how. However, I do have theories.
From what I have seen Therlonius perform I know that all Elements need to act as if they are liquid. My mastery of vitriolic stream may help in achieving this liquid form. Even for Elements that do not obviously behave as a fluid, it should be possible to provide each with that capability. For instance, when I visited the Planar Sanctum -all too briefly- I saw liquid stone, not at all hot to the touch. Something like that will need to be achieved, it is encouraging to know such is possible.
So, on to the theory, as we know, Ooze can be quite corrosive. But, if sufficiently contained, it can be controlled. A layer of Earth may dam in the flow of Ooze, if provided in the right ratio. However, I have already learned from experimentation that direct contact with Earth will slow done both it and the Ooze it contains. That will not work, I have seen how all Elements were swirling around in that cauldron.
However, if I encase that Earth with Air, it still contains the Ooze, but without direct contact, allowing both goals to be achieved. That also means we already have three of the seven Elements figured out! It was not possible to see if Therlonius had precisely seven Elemental streams swirling around, I would think it would be fine to add more layers if that is needed to contain any of the other Elements.
Progress!

RoleChapter 14 A journal by Shami - Chapter 3 - Some findings mid-experiments Added Mon Jan 9 14:19:14 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Some findings so far -
On to the remaining Elements. But before I proceed with that, I must reflect on the knowledge already achieved. I have gained much confidence from my mastery of Vitriolic Stream. This intimate knowledge has granted me insight into how to channel an Element into semi liquid form. From trying to emulate the effects of that spell, I have learned that indeed I am able to cast forward a continuous stream of Elemental force.
Alas not all Elements flow with equal urgency. Earth for instance, being of course heavy, needs more encouragement, so to speak. This consideration has led me to the answer of a puzzle that was troubling me before: how can I apply Lightning to the mixture.
Through my experimentations so far I have learned that I can encase the more solid Elements, such as Earth, with a layer of sparks. Properly encased thusly the Element within has less surface contact, speeding it up. Doing this I have also discovered that I do not need as much Earth to shield against the corrosive acids.
All in all my experimentations have been very fruitful so far!

RoleChapter 15 A journal by Shami - Chapter 4 - Solving the remaining Elements Added Tue Jan 10 12:52:57 2023 at level 51:Elemental Research and Findings - A journal by Shami
- Solving the remaining Elements -
Progress is made, we now only have Fire, Ice and Water left to be figured out. Being already a liquid, water shouldn't prove much of a mystery. The only catch is that it can not be allowed to wash away any of the other Elements, particularly Earth and Ooze. In the right dosage however, we can add it to all layers, providing extra fluency to all Elements. Further ensuring their correct pace.
Fire and Water are opposing forces, if allowed direct contact, Fire and Ice however seem to be a logical combination. Ice by nature is a solid and without external stimulation reluctant to be moved if on a hard underground. However, if slightly heated a layer of moisture arises, allowing it swift movement if manipulated. This heat needs to be under strict control, because it of course not the goal to dissolve the Ice entirely.
Fire by itself cannot be turned into a liquid to my knowledge, but I have figured out a way to meaningfully put it to use, as it is of course still a vital element on the path to achieving the Pure Element! There can be no whole, if a single component is missing. As mentioned we should heat the ice, ever so slightly, we can do this by adding heat to the Earth, making it more malleable. As an extra bonus, this also means we do not need as much Earth as originally predicted to counter the corrosiveness of Ooze, as the Fire aids with resisting it.
The warmth of this heated Earth can then indirectly melt the Ice as required.
A full theorem has been achieved! Each individual Element has been figured out and tested. I am able to reliably produce a stream for each Element, in the fashion described earlier.
The next conundrum is how to contain the flow of all these Elements and how to protect me, and possibly any by-standers, from catastrophy, if such would occur.

76270, Shami's Role Chapter 1
Posted by Death_Angel on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
RoleChapter 1 Shami, a summary Added Mon Nov 7 15:15:40 2022 at level 1:* Shami is born into poverty, educated by the orphanage at Balator, but learns very little there. Clever as she is, she however aced reading and writing before heading out to find her own way
* As a street urchin she learned to fend for herself but never scored it big because of her morals. She does not hesitate to take what she needs, but is not willing to do harm to those who are worse off still
* She has disrupted a ritual causing her body to be filled with intersecting multi-colored lines that flare up when she focuses her thoughts on the element that matches it
* Using that newly acquired talent she leaves her previous behind and now has an act to please the passing crowd, with some success she is able to pay for regular lodgings at the Drunken Efreeti
* One day she is greeted by the Galadon Invokers' Guild guildmaster who convinces her to come with him and be trained as an Invoker. As he mentions, it is for the best to avoid yet another tragedy
* When she leaves the Guild as a level 1 Invoker, she heads into the Academy, eager to learn all that she can so that she can continue whatever research Therlonius Dragonfire was doing. There is much to learn still if she is ever to understand it all!
* Combining the skills she has gathered during her youth, harsh as it was, with the training she received at the Guild, she decides that it would be best for her to join the Heralds of the Eternal Star
* Dedicated to achieving Elemental Purity and eager to learn the knowledge that requires, she sets out to follow Ishuli
