#eithuad

Forgot to post the chaddiest fop ever

I'll put more info about him on my blog later.

Enjoy this aesthetic juxtaposition

Would you trust them?

You absolutely can! Nothing is a higher compliment to me! His name is Diot! Eithuad is the setting he belongs in. It's a larger fantasy story I've been working on for over a decade at this point! If you're interested, I have a blog where I have more lore, and here is also a fuller description of Diot and his story :>

Queen Beht concept sketch

Wyhc Religious/Clan garb. The Wyhc elves were a people in tune with the mysteries of existence. Many aspects of their clothing were meant to mentally shift them away from their corporeal forms and toward their spiritual one. Not all Wyhc clans participated in this, but it grew to greater and greater prominence. It started with a single movement by a handful of different members of clans, but they began to cover more and more of their bodies in search of connecting more deeply with the unknown and the spiritual. This movement eventually became known as 'Formlessness', and those who practice it today are known as 'The Formless'.

Marcé grew up poor in Yuitebha (Yeh-Tev-Uh), a Blay Elven city that is the most human-friendly. In his young adulthood, he became a sex worker to support himself. Marcé found an admirer in a wealthy Blay merchant named Nossas, and essentially became his sugar-baby. Marcé had an astute mind, and studied how Nossas ran his business, made deals, and created diplomatic ties. Nossas always had Marcé at his side, despite the strange looks from Yuitebhan polite society. Marcé ended up forming connections with Blay Elven members of the elite and Nossas's business contacts. Nossas took occasional trips to the fledgling human city of Atra, where Marcé saw the poor conditions of the city, as well as the possibilities for commerce. Atra (formerly Ithaiel), had many particular goods that had been cut off from the rest of Blay Elven cities for centuries (most blay elves don't venture to Ithaiel/Atra because it is considered cursed). When Nossas died, he left his fortune to Marcé, as he had no family and nobody else he considered as worthy of having it. Marcé had to advocate for themself to receive the inheritance, as there were 'concerns' about the propriety of a human receiving inheritance from an elf (it was very common for Yuitebhan elites to indulge in human companionship in secret, and it was considered socially taboo). Marcé attempted to continue the business left by Nossas in Yuitebha, but it was difficult due to them being human. Frustrated, Marcé decided to branch out into the struggling city of Atra. He started with establishing a business in Atra, making long-lost goods that were unique to Ithaiel, like scents, herbs, pigments, and fabrics. They sold these to businesses in Yuitebha, with great success, since they were very rare. This opened up a financial pathway to bring money into the struggling human stronghold. Marcé expanded his business to open up a La Maison des Lumières- a business that contains a brothel, love hotel, coffeehouse, and a perfume/fine goods shop. Over time, it has accumulated more wealth and reputation, beginning to rival the Vellamonts and Ministrat.
