What is widowwood?

[calyx]

Widowwood: Blue-black wood that can have a rose, purple, or crimson sheen to it depending on how it is cut and polished, the widowwood is a rare shrub. Possessing a sturdy trunk, its wood can be used for carving in small quantities. For example, one might build a door out of pieces of widowwood, or one might make small carvings, but one would never use it to build a house. The widowwood grows best in dim and dank swamps and that ilk. Silver-backed, deep green leaves cluster in sets of five along spindly branches. At the center of each leaf cluster, a tiny and lop-sided white flower will bloom, which in turn yields a pale blue berry. These tiny flowers and berries produce a beautiful scent, and this is where the widowwood gets its name. Men over the ages have died while seeking the scent to add to perfumes or to test for alchemical or healing properties, drowned in the quick bogs the shrub grows near, never to be seen again. The widowwood has only recently been rediscovered in some treacherous bogs past the Lake of Shadowed Sorrows, and small quantities have filtered into the more populous areas of Elanthia.

You see Cinnamon

I remember being impressed when I was looking over everyone else at the wedding. Nice to see the shows and alters, etc. Very well done.

[Elvenlady]

Decided it was time to change the dhe'nar again.

You see xxxx
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She is tall and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has tilted, lavender-ringed nightshade-hued eyes and ebon skin. She has long, shiny niveous hair twisted into a sleek spiral topknot leaving the rest flowing freely over one shoulder. She has an angular face, a small nose and sharply-curved pointed ears. A velvet black moonstone carved into a crescent is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling green-black sheen across her face.
She has an inked whorl of faded purple tracery on the palm of her left hand.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a short topal mink capelet with an argent sheen, a jet black rigid leather corset with sharply curved smoky glaes inlays, a striated wide silver wrist cuff, a low-slung atrous satin skirt, and some glossy black leather thigh-boots inset with smoky glaes strips.

>l tracery
Complex patterns in faded purple spiral tightly around her palm to coalesce into a symbolic labyrinth that defies interpretation. The intricate tracery formed by the combination of ink and lines criss-crossing the paler skin seems to lend itself to the mystical art of chiromancy.

>l cuff (gold ring holder)
At first glance the wide band of silver seems to be an innocuous piece of jewelry. Veins of malachite and jet-black obsidian have been inlaid into the smooth surface, adding artistic streaks of intrinsic darkness which hint at the more underlying sinister aspects of the cuff. Lining the interior are rows of tiny vicious inward barbs, each configured so as to leave the impression on the skin of having worn a thorny vine.

>l skirt
A long and slim fitting skirt of jet black satin hangs from a slender hip-slung girdle of mithglin, the glossy arced veins of inlaid smoky glaes adding the perfect counterpoint to the normally dull alloy. Thigh high slits on each side ensure the shimmering fabric drapes smoothly around the wearer's legs but the slightest movement or breeze causes it to ripple fluidly like quicksilver.

And of course the boots are Laphrael creations

[Enceladus]

Yes, avoid same dress disasters at all costs.

[Asile]

Went ahead and got dressed for the Order of the Azure Sun and Ladies of the Swan dinner tonight (fancy dress optional, ha!).


You see Lady Traiva Verethundi the Incantress.
She appears to be an Aelotoi of the Mrae'ni Clan.
She is shorter than average and appears to be young and sprightly. She has a shimmer of viridian on her eyelids, sparkling dark hazel eyes and ivory skin. She has waist length, wavy deep cordovan hair bound into a twisted infinity knot by some twisted platinum hairsticks. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has a pair of jade-veined elongated emerald wings.
She has a knotwork and dragonfly tattoo on her neck, and a pair of white diamond studs in the ridges of both her ears.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a hinged round silver mirror in her left hand.
She is wearing a translucent chalcedony rose suspended from a thin silk ribbon, a cushion-cut star emerald talisman, a rich emerald marbrinus pelisse, a jade-lined platinum bourde gown with full sweeping skirts, a silk-webbed glowbark fan, an emerald-set gold wedding ring, some sheer silk stockings topped with ruffled white lace, and a pair of silvery satin high-heeled shoes beaded with tiny green moonstones.

>l tat
Stylized dragonflies are inked in shades of blue and green, the hues varying in intensity along the length of each insect. Small deep green circles of intricate knotwork connect the dragonflies to form the appearance of a chain around the neck. The outline of a stag's head is inked in dark gold at the back of the neck, nestled between two dragonflies.

>l ring
A large marquis-cut emerald sits centered in display, flanked by four smaller matched stones of similar color and cut, the whole of the arrangement suggesting a stylized dragonfly. It perches atop a band of fiery reddish gold, engraved about its span with a subtle pattern of sinuous wisps.

>l shoe
Elegantly engraved inside the shoes is the name 'Traiva'.
(Made by Laphrael, of course!)

>smell trai
You have a powerful herbal scent clinging to your skin, combining top notes of sage with the lush support of rose attar. A faint accompaniment of spicy nutmeg lurks at the edges of the full-bodied aroma.

[bobmacans]

That is cool.

[LadyLaphrael]

And now for something completely different.

You see Laphrael Miran'ta.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She is lithely petite and appears to have come of age. She has indigo-limned deep cerulean eyes and soft, lily-white skin. She has mid-length, wavy deep red hair falling in a riotous mass of wild twists and thick curls. She has a high-cheekboned, yet subtly rounded face, an upturned nose and a narrow waist. She has a light peppering of freckles on her cheeks, and faintly curving natural-toned lips. An oval-cut white starstone with night blue accents is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling bluish white sheen across her face.
She has a spiraling obsidian eight-pointed star tattoo under her left collarbone on her chest.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a midnight-hued necklace of deep blue and ebon starstone orbs, some elongated ebon satin gloves trailing swathes of diaphanous tanzanite silk, a jet-veined indigo satin corset skirted with a flounce of layered black tulle, some onyx black eyelet-lace leggings, and a pair of mithglin-buckled soft ebon velvet boots.

Nom nom. Laphrael, how -you- doin'?

[Sylvan Dreams]

I think that with the right marketing, Laphrael's shoes could become the next big fashionista must-have.
