Role

Chapter 5

After visiting to Lady Joihe and after Talanashta got the task, elven invoker
decided to develop a plan "How to create your own runic alphabet". Here are
the steps she's going to follow to create such an alphabet:

1. Research and Inspiration: Study existing runic alphabets, such as dwarven
or common magician runes, to understand their basic principles and symbolism.
This will help her gain inspiration for creating your own symbols. And this
step has completed!!!

2. Define Sounds: Decide which sounds Talanashta wants to represent in the
alphabet. Runes typically represent specific sounds or phonemes.

3. Design Symbols: Begin creating unique symbols for each sound. She can use
geometric shapes, lines, and other elements to come up with stylish and
memorable symbols.

4. Assign Meanings: Each symbol should have its own meaning or be associated
with a specific sound or concept. This will help Talanashta use the alphabet
for writing texts.

5. Testing and Refinement: After creating the alphabet, test it out by
writing texts with it and ensure that it functions as intended. During
testing, she can make adjustments and refinements.

6. Using the Alphabet: Start using the alphabet for creating texts, research,
or even decorative purposes. This will help Talanashta better understand its
strengths and weaknesses.

Chapter 4

Greetings to thee, Lady Joihe!

It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing and talking with
You in person. But I didnt waste time, during our meeting You asked
several questions that I would like to answer, but first I would like to
provide the result of my research: I found that runes, for the most part, can
be divided into 3 large groups - these are dwarven (and duergar) runes,
magical runes and, as I assume because I saw You use such magic, this is
runecasting.

1) Dwarven and, I believe, duergar runes can be found both on dwarven
structures and on various objects such as weapons, armor or other random
magical items. There is an opinion that in ancient times, dwarves used runes
such as an alphabet or a language, after a certain time the alphabet/language
became more or less generally accepted, the runes moved into the
antiquities section and began to serve as reinforcements/improvement
for various items, be it weapons/armor or scrolls. Less well-known dwarven
runes denote some very specific states, emotions or sometimes events, for
example, hope, death, fear, etc.

2) Magic runes are a development of inscriptional or writing magic (direct
descendants of scrolls), which most often also enhance objects, but can also
serve as seals (this is the property I want to use, You know) or as imparting
a set of deteriorating effects. For the most part, they do not carry any
completely readable point, but at the same time, in one of the forests in the
south anyone can find a set of ancient runes denoting certain magical
directions (personally, I like the rune (^) denoting invocation). This may
suggest that dwarven runes and magical runes have a single ancestor, but,
unfortunately, I could not find direct evidence of this

3) And finally runecasting... from the bits of information that was available
to me, I can draw the following conclusions: runes are used, similar to magic
ones, the material for inscription is either air or, possibly, another plane
of existence (questionable, additional study is needed). It looks like the
effect is applied instantly, while the rune disappears (perhaps goes to
another plane). Unfortunately, I was unable to find the way to the tower we
were talking about, and I hoped that our next meeting could shed some light
on this mystery.

In answer to Your questions, which I think You posed to me:
1) I, being an orphan, am very sensitive to the word family, and I,
having weighed everything and feeling all my feelings, ask you to accept me
into the family
2) I want to become a rune specialist and, as a maximum, master the ability
of runecasting, Runemaster.

Role

Chapter 3

Over the past time, Talanashta has formed a well-founded opinion about why
she needs rune magic - she wants to close most of the portals through which
shadows rush into our world. Moreover, she still thinks that such magic is a
development of the standard technique of Invoker magic.

In the end, she managed to meet with Lady Joihe, the meeting was surprisingly
quite fruitful, although Talanashta was very worried that she would be able
to find any words at all (not that the right ones). The Ladys words about
family interested and intrigued her very much, since being an orphan,
Talanashta is very sensitive to this word. In addition, she has a glimmer of
hope to finally get rid of her introversion.

The Lady told her that the basis of rune magic is in a tower called Silent or
Nyathl Ikalith. Moreover, She said that Talanashta has a certain anchor
to this tower and can try to find it in order to dive into the ancient
knowledge of rune magic right in the library.

Talanashta began her search:
1) There were rumors that in the elven city of Darsylon there was once a
warrior who knew the way to this tower. Unfortunately, his answer was only
(how ironic) silence
2) Other rumors mentioned a certain dwarf in Udgaard, he also turned out to
be taciturn
3) A couple of madmen hinted at the dark elf magician from Teth Azeleth, but
he did not reveal the secret before his death
4) Then the search led to a magician from one of the ships in the Open Sea,
but he also did not want to talk with Talanashta
5) And, in the end, her hope remained only in the Lyceum. It is there that,
according to rumors, an ancient codex is kept, which mentions a lot of data
about the Silent Tower.

Role

Chapter 2

One of Talanashta's goals has been achieved - she has become a member of the
Fortress. Because of her character, it is still difficult for her to
communicate and find a common language even with those close to her, she
cannot yet say that she has made friends. Yes, Talanashta tries to greet and
say goodbye as politely as possible, but she feels that this is not enough.

Young elven invoker is ashamed that she did not devote enough time to finding
Lady Joihe, and Talanashta is even more ashamed that she does not know what
she will say to Lady when they meet. Yes, young elven girl has the goal of
developing and searching for rune magic, but how to interest the Lady in
this? Talanashta doesn't know yet and subconsciously hopes for
improvisation.

Her combat skills leave much to be desired, a quick meeting with the
Councellor almost ended in suicide - she completely forgot that Scions can
reflect spells. One of the elite blades took away her strength, Talanashta
lost her weapon and a pair of axes almost destroyed her, despite the ice
shield... she needs to find a lighter weapon and plan better, even if her
eccentricity gets in her way!

Lately, periodically she has developed rather strange uncontrollable
behavior: Talanashta does something, for example, runs her hands through her
hair or blinks, and something magical, but at the same time, harmless, is
sure to happen, like sometimes her hands become covered with frost or her
surrounded by a belt of lightning. This doesn't bother Talanashta, but it
surprises her, and what's more, it started happening when she was sleeping,
because... sometimes she wakes up from this.

Role

Chapter 1

Talanashta doesnt know who her parents are; her first childhood memories
are of Evermoon Hollow and the guildmaster of the invokers. When she asked
about her parents, the guildmaster lowered her gaze and answered in
monosyllables; she understood that something not entirely good had happened
and all that was left of her parents was the last name - Cai'Valour. Since
childhood, she was surrounded by magic, her desire was to study all magic (of
course, with the exception of Necromancy) and she concentrated, so to speak,
on the seven elements of Invocation.

Talanashta is an introvert, although she can easily open up to her
interlocutor, but mostly she tries not to be the first to start a
conversation. She is curious, she is interested in everything new and
mysterious. She is looking for a use for her skills and understands that only
Fortress can be her possible refuge, because... for Heralds she is not too
artistic, for Treefolks she is too down-to-earth and civilized, and for the
Tribunal she is too eccentric. Oddly enough, she is a perfectionist and will
not ask for a place among the squires until she achieves mastery.

At the moment, she is focused on bringing her art to mastery, then her goal
will be to study such a branch of magic as rune magic, she believes that this
kind of magic is the next stage in the development of master invokers. She
once heard about Joihe, and someday Talanashta will find the courage to
appear before Her.
