Charms and Good Fortune

There is a legend among the Vaelune people of a lovely young fallaḥa, or “female commoner,” who went by the name of Samia. According to tradition, Samia fell deeply in love with the devilishly handsome and impossibly ancient djinn spirit Nuahaibu, whom she called “Aibu.”

With no wealth to speak of, and little else of value to proffer as an offering, Samia went off in search of a treasure of great value that might make her more appealing as a potential mate. The search took her all across Verra, until eventually, by sword, by guile, and by good fortune, she found just the gift. Samia discovered five rings of gold, so dazzling to behold that the djinn recognized their great value and unequaled beauty the moment he set eyes upon them, and knew that they must be his. Thus, the djinn and the fallaha haggled back and forth on price before finally striking a bargain. In exchange for the Golden Rings, the djinn not only agreed to wed Samia, but also to remain by her side in visible, corporeal form forever.

Today, the reenactment of Samia’s journey is an important coming of age ritual for Vaelune children called “Riha Kalb,” the Heart Quest. The Vaelune believe that the Heart Quest must be successfully completed before they can reach spiritual adulthood, when their blood will forever be tied to the elemental spirits of earth, air, fire, and water.

The Charms and Good Fortune cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from July 12, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until August 9, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that Songs of the Sea addons will be removed on July 12, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

    nice work

    A vast improvement over the last 2 monthly offerings! Gives the sense of either desert-dwellers or white people on the beach; lots of UV protection and skin-coverage.

    Will prob pick up the house, personally.

    You mean the freehold where...
    players "would return to their “amorateum” on the longest night of each year and spend it together, enraptured by their carnal bliss and all-consuming love. " ?

    As a avid fan of the mythology and cultural significance to djinn in real life i have to ask but are we going to be able to get the djinn vaelune skin ingame that was offered a long whiles ago? Either way vaelune is one of my most favorite races. Pack looks great, tempting.

    Depends.

    Is there " Ego-Perspective " in the Game ? Because then i could imagine they might be in the way of Visibility to some Extent.
