Event: Your Place Reflects Your Soul

Your Place reflects your Soul

Story

Draw or write about your Rexal inviting someone into their home for a warm beverage. It might be a customer, a friend, or another Rexal who needed help.


Everyone has a place they call home, and this is the place you must showcase for this event. Show us the inside of your rexal's home! If your rexal is a wanderer, was there ever a place they felt at home? A tavern or maybe their favorite shop? We want to see two rexals interacting inside a home, theirs or someone else's.

 



Rules

    - At least 2 Rexals must be present. They can both be owned by you, or one can be an NPC, or owned by another player.

    - The inside of a residence should feature prominently in your drawing, or be richly described in your writing.

    - If your Rexal does not have a home, they can visit someone who does. You may collaborate with another player to achieve this if you wish.

    - Whilst some Rex may feel at home in random spots in nature, for this event we want to see you draw or describe a home that has been built.

    - This event is lore complaint! It must take place within the world of Rexalia! Non-Rexalia characters are not permitted.


    - You may commission another artist to make your event entry.

    - To claim the reward you must submit the entry to this journal yourself.

    - If an entry features more than 2 player's rexals, the description must mention who is eligible to use the piece for reward claiming.

    - Each entry may be submitted for reward claiming by a maximum of 2 players. A Rexal owned by each player must feature in the artwork and meet the minimum requirements listed below.


Image Requirements
  • Canvases should be at least 500 x 500px
  • Backgrounds must be full color and meet the 3 Planes OR Elements standard
  • Two (2) Rexals must be at least 150 x 150px, full colour and show 5 body sections.
  • The inside of a Rexal-built residence should feature prominently as the background of your scene.
  • Architecture should reflect one of Rexalia's locations, namely The Dome, The Posian Islands, or The Crimson Cove
  • Literature Requirements
  • The minimum word count for a story featuring two (2) rex is 1000 words
  • Each additional player-owned Rex increases the total minimum word count required by +200.
  • Two (2) Rex should be present for the majority of the story.
  • The plot should focus on the residence, with at least 70% of your story occuring within a building.


  • Stuck? Consider some of these prompts.

      Remember, this event is about showcasing a Rexal's residence. Your artwork should focus heavily on the building and the contents of the home. What does it reveal about the way the owner lives? Consider how the guest feels about the home they are visiting:


      - Does it remind the guest of the home they grew up in? Are they appalled or amazed by the way this family lives? How does it compare to their own experience? Do they accidentally commit a faux pas?


      - Are there any items of note in the home that the guest is drawn to ask the owner about? Does the artwork on the wall showcase the owner's wealth, or perhaps it's a family heirloom.


      - Is the house well-built and insulated from weather, or do the residents have to rely on their magic or a central fire to keep warm? Is it comfortable for the guest? Do they have somewhere to sit?


      - Is the owner proud of the beverage they have served to the guest, or is it little more than hot water?


      - Does the house combine elements of both Dome and Posian Islands architecture? Perhaps it gives a clue to the heritage of the owner, or maybe it's been shabbily repaired with whatever materials they have available?


      - Does the house also serve as a business or maybe a workshop for the owner?


      - Do many different families live here? Do they share the space with animals?


      - Is the home lavishly decorated with textiles or is it a simple, but functional, residence?

    Rexal 1: Jespism 

    Rexal 2: Chamomili 

    Entry: Link

    Jespism was always proud to share her home and passion with her community - and in this case, she was more than glad to forge a quick connection with Chamomili, and was looking forward to hearing tales of her fun with Iola! As she was putting away their now empty tea cups, a little glimmer caught her eye from the corner...

    Lavender was delighted to have made a friend on her travels. The trade of lunch for tea and a break was fantastic, and she would treasure the memory dearly. Later that night, when she was settling down to rest, Lavender found a little sparkling gem in her pouch, as if a parting gift from her new friend.

    While it may not have been as fancy as a tavern, the comfort of sharing lunch on the couch couldn't be beat! When it was time for Lavender to go on her way, Phobos found a small sparkling trinket left behind, as if in thanks.

    Of course Selkie knew when she invited him in - dragged in, rather - that they wouldn't see how he was in the morning. By dawn, Caishen had skittered off again, leaving behind nicely folded bedding and a sparkling shard as thanks.

    Oh well. So long as he wasn't diving alone again.

    Sharing your personal space wasn't always easy! Murmur's excitement to see Thusir's was sweet, but a little exhausting all the same. After clearing out the tavern, Thusir found that he'd been left a little something for his time and patience - a Common Crystal Shard Deposit!

    After Ramonda and Thea's charged words, Kreat needed a moment aside. Walking through the familiar halls of home helped to calm and ground him, even if just enough to release some of the tension from his shoulders. While heading back, he noticed a small glittering trinket off to the side - perhaps it would bring luck for the continued conversation?

    While there wasn't much, medically speaking, that could be done for the injury, sometimes there wasn't a balm near as powerful as companionship. As they sat, Victoris' eye caught a glimmer of light in the setting sun - something that could be seen to later, of course.

    Despite all odds, Kirke's guest in from the storm was a pleasant sort. As they went to move the satchel of tea leaves, a little sparkling stone fell out from it, catching the forgelight beautifully.

    The sunny afternoon made the perfect backdrop to a comfortable visit with a friend! Between the tea and the company, there wasn't anything more Beryl could have asked for -- actually, if that strange little rock could quit poking her... oh. Oh!

    There was nothing quite like having a home full of family! Even though it was crowded, Sela wouldn't have had it any other way - and while he was cleaning up the dropped mug of tea, a little sparkle caught his eye from the corner.
