Sentalia's Plot Notes

Postby Sentalia on October 19th, 2024, 6:50 pm

Primary Character Goals

I. Continuously develop the following core group of skills until the level of Expert is reached, no matter how long it takes:

    Botany
    Foraging
    Floristry
    Gardening
    Herbalism
    Wilderness survival
    Apiculture (bee raising)
    Meditation

These skills form the basis of her worldly life and her means of earning money.

II. Become a Witch

Though her mind is inextricably linked to Leth as an Ethaefall, he doesn't take much active involvement in her life until much later on. In the meantime, both out of necessity and fascination, she develops strong associations with Caihya as she learns to embrace the flora and fauna of the land she fell to. Parts of the general plan to become a witch/phylonurist/gnosis-bearer are as follows:

    - Become a priestess of Caihya by earning 3 of her gnosis marks

    - Acquire many different lores of plants and animals

    - Develop strong familiarity with the language of botanical description

    - Care for sick and wounded animals wherever possible, or otherwise put them out of their misery with a swift mercy-killing

    - Simply observe life around her with ever-increasing awareness and precision

    - Learn to write and eventually create a "Codex Floralis", a botanist's and nature lovers' journal and compendium of floral life

    - Encounter and develop at least three magical disciplines to a high degree of competency

    Hypnotism
    Spiritism
    Glyphing

III. Business plans

    - Eventually develop an apiary and sell bee products (honey, wax, etc.)

    - Dive deep into the art of flower-arranging and sell bouquets of different themes

    - Collect and sell different fruits, make a juicing station

    - Become an herbalist; sell different teas for varying purposes

    - Create botanical salves, ointments, creams etc. for sale

    - Become proficient in the art of bartering and bargaining to get best prices

    - Eventually create/open a papermaking workshop with employees and botanical info leaflets/brochures

IV. Become fluent in all three starting languages

    Common (fluent to start)
    Fratava (basic to start)
    Kontinese (poor to start)

V. Long term goals:

    - Start some sort of Archaeology guild or society to systematically examine local ruins

    - Politely talk with Gossamer/other players about the possibility of eventually developing the gnosis of Qalaya

    - Coordinate with others to construct a "library temple tower" (perhaps through Animation Magic?) that houses written archives of personal histories, botanical information, artistic creations, mercantile bookkeeping, a literacy centre, devotionals, cookbooks, etc.

    - Special access archaeology library that addresses the pre-Valterrian ruins in Syka

    - Create a shrine of Qalaya with regular devotional service and trance states of automatic writing (connection with spiritism/mediumship??)

    - Train translators, scribes, calligraphers specifically for the temple's encyclopaedias

    - Travel to different parts of Mizahar on trade excursions to explore and document and then return to Syka

    Write 1,008 prayers and praises to Leth
    Write 108 prayers and praises to Caihya
    Write 81 dream threads

More details and plotting to come!

Sentalia's Plot Notes

Postby Sentalia on June 8th, 2025, 6:37 pm

It's been taking a little while to get going to full stride with Sentalia but that's okay, all good things take time, and sometimes life throws us a curve ball or two. Now I'm mainly interested in learning magic and making magic and phylonura happen as a living reality in Sentalia's life. She should develop and grow into a real presence and not just the aspiration of one, and rather than declaring her to be a witch, if it's really what she's meant to be, she will earn it through experience... but maybe it will be something else.

I want her to have more dialogue with other characters to make this more real. We'll see how that goes. It would be nice to invest some time into the BB codes to make the posts more aesthetically pleasing to others, but I still want to mainly focus on writing. There's a lot to do and read on Mizahar and it can sometimes feel overwhelming. One goal is to be more proactive in reaching out to other players for threading together, whoever wants to join.

The other thing is, I want Sentalia to explore. I want her to learn and love life, to be really actually alive. Maybe she's part poetry, part narrative, and definitely part confusion. But not confusion in a dumb sense, that would be unbefitting for an Ethaefal. I want her to YEARN, earn, and learn her way back to Leth's abode... more to come later, Mizaharians :)
