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?

    Despite it being wholly unplanned, and more than a little nerve-wracking, Chianti's visit to Rosè's home wound up..... decidedly positive. Hopeful, even, and the little glimmering rock one of Rosè's little nephews plopped into Chianti's hands in excitement only helped with that warmth.

    You have earned the Shared Tea Achievement and a Common Crystal Shard Deposit

    Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.

    Sirius didn't want to admit it out loud, but things were a bit less crap with someone loyal by his side. In his pain, he didn't notice the crystal glistening in the corner...

    Perhaps other places weren't so bad, Dreiton thought as they sat in the courtyard. A little twinkle in the bushes caught their eye, revealing the Shared Tea Achievement and a  Common Crystal Shard Deposit!

    Home was said to be where the heart was, and Ryaki's was shared with many! As she bid her visitors a good day, she spied a little sparkle sitting near the tea set - a Common Crystal Shard Deposit!

    There was little more comfortable than relaxing with a friend over a nice cup of coffee! While gazing out across her verdant gardens, Isa caught sight of a little purple glimmer just behind the curtain - a Common Crystal Shard Deposit

    Even as Penelope judged every square inch of dust in Momus' home, and experiencing the worst tea possibly ever made- which has made its' way into your achievements- she felt an odd sense of hominess, Momus clearly spent plenty of time here. Just before she drifted off to sleep, she caught a glimpse of a Common Crystal Shard Deposit shining among the dust on the wooden floor. Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.

    The wonderful hint of rosemary stayed with Uri as she began to work on her wonderful ship-house, and the tea that she shared with Ore has found its' way into your achievements! After a while, she pulled up the rotting board from the deck, only to find a Common Crystal Shard Deposit hiding between the planks! Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.

    Hey there, this is such a sweet piece and I really love the description of Verdant and Lilac's home! Just one correction needs to be made before we can get this rolled for you. Unfortunately, none of the time periods allowed in Rexalia lore have access to cameras and know what a photo/photograph is- Changing these to "paintings" should fix the issue right up! Please reply to this comment when you fix this, and we'll get it rolled for you ASAP!

    Such a long, hard day of work followed by an extremely emotional moment surrounded by the paintings of Verdant's family left Cain feeling rather exhausted, and as he decided to turn in for the night, Lilac practically forced him to take a cup of tea with him, which has made its' way into your achievements! As Cain decided to take one last look over his and Verdant's plants, he caught sight of a glimmering Common Crystal Shard Deposit hidden among the rows. Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.

     

    Hey there, just wanted to let you know that you did miss one mention of photos if you'd like to fix it! We're rolling this because you clearly made an effort to fix the correction, and we appreciate that! Enjoy your marking shard!

    After a nice, long chat with her adopted son, Rahkan happily shared a cup of tea with Chariton, which has found its' way into your achievements! A long while later, as she turned to leave, she found a Common Crystal Shard Deposit that got dropped in one of the pots in Chariton's home!
