Description

[Pomu Lanterns]

One of the quirky things that happens at the beginning of every year, is that all pomus enter a hibernation state, where their bodies transform into a chunk of phasmic crystal that casts a shimmering and warm light. While in this form, pomus will float along behind their elnin host as if tethered by an invisible string. If separated or otherwise removed from the elnin's vicinity, the pomu crystal will simply vanish and reappear nearby. Some speculate that this hibernation state is caused by the miasmic suppression that happens at the start of the year. Being that pomus are highly sensitive to ambient mana shifts, this theory seems very likely. Elnins have taken this odd behavior and turned it into their own special tradition by crafting lanterns designed to hold the floating pomu-crystals. During the first month of the year (and sometimes into the following month, length of hibernation varies between pomus), it is common to see elnins with these pomu-lanterns attached to their tails as they go about their day. It has become an almost reverent act over the years, the lanterns being a symbolic light that banishes the oppressive darkness of winter. Many elnins will attach bells and pieces of parchment or fabric to their lantern with wishes written on them in hopes of bringing luck for the new year.

Notables: New Elnin lineage, the "Duil" : The Duil bloodline originates from the deserts spanning Northern Eyre. They are a hearty bloodline, but their fur is not quite as dense as many of their cousins, so they tend to favor warmer climates. This family of elnins is known for having very distinct ears, which are sleek and sharply pointed. They also have unusually fluffy cheeks and extra fur on the hind legs. Duil elnins are primarily earthy toned.

[Cloudbreak]

~~AB: [$550 - THIS IS ALSO AN 'OTA'!! See below]~~
Winner:

I thought it might be fun to do an OTA for every sale set, so at least there is some way for people to obtain one outside of the normal auction means. So! You may offer money, designs, or art at my comment below!
There will be a hard AB for this, however[!!] this AB is not eligible for Payment Plans.
Closed species I'm especially interested in: Lantern Dragons or Mantibabs

Notables: "Sil'aerthe" lineage : There is a notable bloodline of elnins called the Sil'aerthe that primarily live within the subterranean depths of Eyre. They are striking in appearance, having generally shadowy colored fur, pale hair, and vibrant bioluminescent markings. Their eyes are more adaptable to variant light conditions than most other elnin, but bear the eerie black sclera and glowing irises common in cases of gloaming sickness. These odd traits do not indicate mana poisoning in this particular bloodline, but are simply an evolution brought about by their environment. (Fun fact: Sil'aerthe are physically inspired by drow elves heeeee xD)

Elnins are a close species by myself manaberry <3 Please do not make your own!
