This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Anastasia

Okay. Let me know about Wednesday when you know.

A preview of what I'm working on. This is mostly for my own motivation, but if you find it interesting too, awesome. Posting this here motivates me to keep going, even when in the thick of looooots of flavor writing. It worked when I did Malcanthet back in the day, so why not try it again?

None of this is final.

Queen Morwel
Queen of Stars, Lady of the Lake, The Faerie Queen
Queen of the Stars/Queen of the Seelie Court
Symbol: A single star set on a background of orange, with tapering and misty edges/A crown on a circular field of silver and red
Home Plane: Court of the Stars
Alignment: Anarchic Exalted
Portfolio: Dreams, nobility, eladrin, fey, nature, charm, secrets
Worshipers: Eladrin, fey, sorcerers, dream-diviners, bards, paladins of freedom, rangers
Cleric Alignments: CG, CN, NG
Domains: Celestial*, Chaos, Charm, Dream, Fey*, Good, Joy, Mysticism, Nobility, Plant*, Renewal, Time*
Favored Weapon: Blade of Endless Dreams (Rapier)

In the case of /, the first entry is for Morwel and the second is for Titania. If a / is not used, assume that entry applies to both.

*Celestial and Time are only available to those that worship Queen Morwel, while Fey and Plant are only available to those that worship Titania. A cleric aware of Morwel's true nature can select from all her domains.

Blade of Endless Dreams (Su)

At will as a free action, Queen Morwel can manifest a slender rapier that constantly shifts and shows wonderful dreams within. The rapier is Queen Morwel's dream given form. This functions a rapier+21, keen, holy power and anarchic power. Any creature injured by the rapier must make a DC 79 Will save or immediately fall asleep. On a critical hit, a creature must instead make three saves against this effect, with any save being failed resulting in the creature falling asleep. Creatures immune to sleep are not immune to this effect, even creatures that do not have the ability to sleep can be put to sleep with this ability. The sole exceptions are eladrins, chaotic good outsiders, non-evil fey and elves (the last is due to an agreement between Corellon Larethian and Queen Morwel), who are all immune to this sleep.

Once asleep, a creature sleeps forever. The creature takes part in Queen Morwel's dream and is slowly purified. After a number of weeks equal to the creature's hit dice, the creature dies. It is reincarnated as an eladrin; the exact type varies from creature to creature. The reincarnated creature remembers nothing of its previous life. The creature is now chaotic good and is indistinguishable from any other eladrin.

A creature under this effect cannot be roused by any means except by another deity using Alter Reality to undo the sleep and succeeding on an opposed rank check against Queen Morwel. It is known that a spell was once developed that could awaken a creature under this effect, though it has been lost to history. It is said the spell was of at least the 21st circle. Killing the creature causes the creature's soul to fly to Queen Morwel, where it continues its purification. Likewise, trap the soul and similar attempts to take the creature's soul fail and the soul immediately travels to Queen Morwel. Once a creature is reincarnated as an eladrin, its previous life is gone and cannot be recovered by any means.

A deity is entitled to an opposed rank check against Queen Morwel to negate this sleep effect, then a Will save as normal. Even then, they are only asleep for one round and are not subject to being purified.

If Queen Morwel dies or loses her grasp on the blade, it vanishes instantly.

When Morwel is in her guise of Titania, the blade appears as a long, narrow branch from Yggdrasil. Dreams and images of fey can be seen in the still-living leaves of the branch. It otherwise functions the same, except that the creature's soul may instead be sent to Yggdrasil. It will then join the fey cycle and be reincarnated as a Seelie fey.

The save DC includes a +7 bonus from Morwel's bracers.

Reverie

Morwel is rarely seen without her shimmering gown. This dress looks to be made of diaphanous materials and glittering stars seamlessly combined into one cloth. The origins of the gown are uncertain to most, as much a part of the Fairy Queen as her own skin. Those that speculate on it suggest it is a gift from one of her earlier consorts. This is not wholly wrong, for the dress is a gift from Arborea to Queen Morwel. It is a symbol of Morwel's status as Queen of the Eladrin and the sole guide of Arborea's children to the future.

Every round at the start of Queen Morwel's turn, Reverie changes the reality around Morwel to better match her dream. This heals Queen Morwel 100 hit points as well as curing the following conditions: ability damage, ability drain, blinded, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, energy drained, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, petrified, shaken, sickened and stunned. Further, vile damage of all types is cured. In the case of ongoing situations or conditions causing the condition, reality subtly adjusts so that it no longer threatens Morwel. That particular situation or effect can no longer menace Morwel, though a similar situation or effect can.

So far so good. Parents leave Friday.

I'm going to have something planned for March 5th, just as a heads up.

Iddy, are you interested in formatting and making your own sheet for Lief? Would that help you at all? It wouldn't be changing anything as much as just setting it up as you prefer it to be set up.

Nah, you pretty much have it set up decent. About the only thing I'd do is put some spaces in to separate things a bit.

Where and how? I can fix it up if you like, or alternately I can edit it in to a post of yours so that you can edit those as you see fit.

Toss spaces after Speed, Attack, Full Attack, Special Attacks, Special Qualities.. Basically after each line/section like that.

Okay, in that case just make a post in the coda sheets topic and I'll edit his sheet in, and you can resort it as you see fit?
