NPC 011: Imasmique
Added 2024-10-17 03:38:50 +0000 UTCHere is the NPC for the last, last month! Imasmique!
Well... at least Imasmique as a gobbo. It seems she was cursed into the form of a gobbo!
Though the reasoning is entirely silly. Imasmique, as indicated by her red garb, is actually one of the nine Cardinals. She hails from the south eastern provinces of Iblissia, one of the provinces to hold the gates of the Red Frost from allowing creatures to spill into thay'valay lands!
But I think that's putting too much emphasis on lore which isn't entirely relevant. Instead, the gist of it is that she'd be more of a military focused noble. In these times of peace, she'd be protecting the lands in her particular provinces and having meetings with the other Cardinals as well as the Thay'renay. (Queen) Imasmique is no blue blooded noble and was chosen as one of the most fit to serve as she proved with her ability to command. Yet it seems no amount of physical prowess or tactical genius can protect one from such a curse!
Her title of Cardinal is quite significant in the actual universe, but here in Aria's Dreamland it just means she wears red, gold, and black!
I'm not sure I mentioned it before, but thay'valay are also supposed to be able to absorb magic with only a few exceptions. (One being that they allow the magic to affect them which requires training since it's a natural reaction to absorb magic) However, this isn't the normal reality of the universe. Instead it's Illaria's reality. That means that thay'valay are certainly more susceptible to being transformed, inflated, and expanded.
In Imasmique's case, that just means returning to her thay'valay form. Though... the return transformation may leave her with a little more curvature than she is used to...
