Secrets of Shadeglen

March 08, 2022

Ancient secrets lurk in the shadows of trees older than history. On Verra, those old roots sprawl into the dirt, and through them draw up great reservoirs of essence. They transform the woods, making them tenacious. Fey creatures in their depths ally with the woodlands - stalking, hunting and feeding upon the misfortunate souls that wander too deep and linger too long.

The Secrets of Shadeglen cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from March 9, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until April 6, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that Unbreakable Bonds addons will be removed on March 9, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

Feykin’s Affection

Accessory Cosmetic Skin *

Deep among the towering spires of ancient trees, invisible streams of essence intersect and draw in all manner of curious creatures eager to sup on latent energies. Over thousands of years, they found themselves transformed and possessed of the intellect required to form microcosms of loosely-aligned societies called courts. Their laws fickle as the flit of their flight. To wander into their territories is to invite their mischievous whims, but with some patience and luck, it’s possible to earn their trust. This is symbolized with a bracelet made from the petals of their home-bud; and should you wear it you’ll find you can walk freely among their mystical glens.

Rootling

Pet Cosmetic Skin *

So I was sittin’ there in my garden pullin’ up what was a few month’s worth of ‘taters, and as I had this one here by the sprouts, I thought it looked a bit like a little man. Then, I swear to you, sure as I stand, I see it blink. Slow, too. One eye, then the other, so it’s not like I imagined it. Its head starts splittin’ open wide like a pantry chest right where a mouth would be. I shriek and drop it! It stands right up, and just stares at me. I don’t know what to do with it. It just follows me around staring. Won’t eat anything when I try to feed it nor does it say anything on account of it being a potato even with it having a proper mouth with teeth. Good thing too, because I can tell you for a fact that he does not like to be hugged.

Guarden

Mount Cosmetic Skin *

Before man made a pact with fey courts to form the Feyguard, feykin grew monsters of grand proportion to secure their glen’s perimeters. Though normally bound to the geographic region from which their creators drew power, there’s some evidence that they’d shared this knowledge with mages, and that they had found a way to power them from the essence within. The playful word they use for them is a portmanteau roughly translated to mean “Garden Guard.”

Feyguard’s Vengeance

Costume Cosmetic Skin *

When the tendrils of the Ancient Ones’ apocalypse had only just touched the old world, communities of feyfolk that were settled around remotely hidden pools of essence, found themselves in sudden need of martial might. Verrans so inclined answered the call, trading the strength of their arms and magics against this uncertain threat in exchange for access to resources. This left families and friends to never return, leading some to speculate on whether they perished or fell victim to fey enchantment.

Wispwatcher

Naval Cosmetic Skin *

Feykin abhor carpentry is a sort of barbarism, because they have found with the correct amount of encouragement and dedication, the forest can and will provide. Wispwatcher longships became prevalent in the later days of the apocalypse, as the movement of goods and people toward the portals became a high priority. With talented carpenters sparse and busy, our ancestors pleaded with all manner of forces for aid. This was what the courts could muster, grown out of a single tree with waxy waterproof bark. They are surprisingly adequate for forested river runs, and we’re left to wonder what the fey courts traded in exchange for these vessels.

Reclaimed Retreat

Freehold Large House Building Cosmetic Skin *

On Sanctus, we put down stone where we pleased, and at our progress nature retreated. Things aren’t as simple on Verra. While we lived in the old lookout, we spent hours every morning hacking back the brush that crept up the walls overnight. We shooed away the feyfolk that seemed intent on growing it. Mikel killed one, and the next day we found him dead with his mouth and eyes stuffed full of flowers. ‘Place of power’ my arse. If you feel like dealing with it, the deed is yours, but it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
