Difference between revisions of "Ariel"

'''Ariel''' was the beloved mayor of the original town called [[Thera]]. Like most of the other residents, she perished with the town was razed to the ground by fiery meteors channeled by bird-thin magelords, allies of the [[Vertani]], in year 386.

The requiem for Ariel was small and quiet, held in the ruins of the Theran cemetery. Her body was laid to rest in a stately blossomwood casket made from one of the fabled trees of Thera by [[Enfrin]], the woodcutter. The ceremony was attended mainly by citizens of Thera's allies, some of who offered up their words and symbolic gifts to the departed mayor.

At the close of the funeral, a remarkable sight presented itself: roots burst forth from a bouquet of alpine blossoms left on the ground, extending down into the earth. The bouquet grew into an emerald-green ivy that spread abundantly over the cemetery, the alpine blossoms transforming into Theran ones.

In the town centre, at the intersection of Spring Lane and Summer Street, an amber-gold metal and pink-veined white marble statue pays homage to Ariel. A slender blossom tree sprouts behind the image of the former mayor as she sits upon a bench, leaving her awash in a constant array of petals.
