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. |
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? |

Hey there!! The writing here is wonderful, and the description of Seia's apothecary and apartment does well to set the scene! Just one small thing before I can approve this. Given that this literature is for an event, we request that you submit this to DA so we have the ability to comment and denote that it's been used.
Once you've done this, please reply to this message so that I'm alerted, and I'd be happy to give you the event rewards!
Ah, alright. In the little form box it says "for this event your entries do not need to be hosted on dA if they only include 2 Rexals. Otherwise, please ensure you link all Rex in the description of your artwork and in the case of more than 2 owners, state who can use the entry to claim the rewards.", does that then only apply to art? Or am I misunderstanding what that means?
In any case, here's the link for it: https://www.deviantart.com/drakelias/art/1077635473
After enjoying some beautiful art and wondeful tea, Lethe found a Common Crystal Shard Deposit on his way back to his ship! Also, what's that? The tea he shared with Seia has found its' way into your achievements! Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.
We're sorry about the mix-up, you're correct! This was just a slight miscommunication that happened, enjoy your crystal shard!
Hey there! This is a stunning image, but unfortunately the requirements for this prompt specify that the meeting needs to take place in an interior, lived-in setting. Currently, your submission appears more as a picnic in an open field. This could be remedied by placing the characters in a suitably decorated gazebo or similarly detailed patio to indicate a ‘civilized’/clearly lived-in location. Please respond to this comment with the adjusted image!
Hey there, this is almost ready to go, and it looks really wonderful! Unfortunately, it's still not quite "inside" enough for the prompt, if you add a roof to your patio/gazebo, this should fix it! Please respond to this comment when you fix the image, and we'll get it rolled ASAP!
After a long talk, back aching the whole while, Feronia glanced down at her water for a moment and thought it'd turned into tea, which has made its way into your achievements! As she finally managed to stand up, practically cracking each individual vertebrae of her spine as she did so, she reached behind her neck to see a Common Crystal Shard Deposit had gotten lodged in between the plates somehow! Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.

After a pleasant visit following their market escapade, Kalingam shared a cup of tea with Dionysus to compliment the smooth mulled wine, which will settle nicely in your achievements. Additionally, when Dionysus was ready to head home again, Kalingam caught a glimpse of something shimmering in the Laconian thyme hanging above the doorway. There, a Common Crystal Shard Deposit was found! Your common crystal shard can be randomly rolled with the "Use" button.
