Oloronya has walked the thin
line between good and evil more times than she cares to remember herself.
Maybe this is because she originally was one of Melkor’s, a
fire Maia, but forsook him when his ambitions became evident to her.
One should think that a decision like this would place her firmly
on the right side but her personal history proves differently. Maybe
it is because she’s never really come to grips with her mortal
body and the passions that inhabit it. Those passions were the reason
for some of the most violent episodes in her life. |
The robes are made of the softest suede
in a burnt orange/red colour which suits your personality, this shows
the two sides of your personality, the creative and intellectual side
shown also by your love of sweet and your darker more headstrong side
shown by your love of sour. The warm suede material will keep you
warm on the mountains or by the sea where strong winds or sea breezes
can chill to the bone. On the back of the robe is embroidered a large
yellow quill, the yellow symbolises your intellect and the quill your
skill with the written word. Around the hem are small charms in the
shape of games pieces in honour of your status as games apprentice,
these are sewn on with pale yellow thread to symbolise fun. The overall
design is one of a complex mixture of styles, which come together
in a retro-chic kind of style. Notable are the cleverly hidden pockets
of all possible seizes, one thousand and one exactly. |
My staff is particularly useful, because
it has two modes. In slumber mode it easily fits any pocket, but in
active mode it is of body length. I have to invoke it by simply saying
’ea’. To set it back to slumber mode I simply have to
think ’áva’. A plain staff, without any decorations
it is smoothed down by thousands of years of handling. Only the tip
is reinforced with tilkal. Made from one of the first trees that grew
upon Middle Earth its secret lies in the age old energy it contains.
It works primarily as a strengthener and focal point of my own energy,
funnelling it into one point. By itself it has the power to deflect
energy directed against it so it is also good as a quarterstaff as
any attacker suffers from his own strength of blow. |
