AC: Whatās this?Ā Ā
AC: Has an elabĀ°ration been requested Ā°n seadweller cĀ°urtship?
AC: Well, I never pass dĀ°wn an Ā°ttertunity tĀ° educate the massesĀ ~~ ā( ā¢į“„ā¢)
AC: SĀ°, as we have discussed befĀ°re, Emblem Rings are a standard issue piece Ā°f jewelry issued tĀ° all seadwellers and have many purpĀ°ses
AC: but fĀ°r the sake Ā°f the current discussiĀ°n, weāre gĀ°ing tĀ° stick tĀ° the mentiĀ°ned tĀ°pics:
AC: prĀ°tectiĀ°n and cĀ°urtship
AC: So, letās get tĀ° it, shell we?Ā ~~ ā( ā¢į“„ā¢)
AC: SĀ°, when Emblem rings are made, they gĀ° thrĀ°ugh a meticulĀ°us crafting prĀ°cess, that is always finalized with a blessing frĀ°m the Outer Gods in the Furthest Ring.Ā
AC: After which, the wearer will be under certain prĀ°tectiĀ°ns in life
AC: NĀ°tice hĀ°w I said certain and nĀ°t all-encĀ°mpassing, because sĀ°me water-lĀ°gged guppies like tĀ° think they becĀ°me gĀ°ds with these ringsā¦
AC: (they dĀ°nātĀ ~~ ā( =į“„=) )
AC: BUT, if yĀ°uāre lucky enĀ°ugh tĀ° have made strĀ°ng bĀ°nds with a seadweller marked as a DIRECT descendant of the First Pearls, they becĀ°me a GrimGuard tĀ° yĀ°u when they die.Ā
AC: but thatās like hella rare because uhā¦ thĀ°se bĀ°nds are usuallyā¦
AC: whatās the wĀ°rdā¦
AC: lined with a path Ā°f murder and blĀ°Ā°dshedĀ Ā ~~ ā( *į“„*)
AC: but yĀ°u dĀ°nāt want tĀ° hear abĀ°ut all that gruesĀ°me nĀ°nsense
AC: I knĀ°w yĀ°u want me tĀ° get tĀ° the quadrant stuff
AC: The cĀ°urting prĀ°cess dĀ°es differ frĀ°m factiĀ°n tĀ° factiĀ°n, sĀ° this is gĀ°ing tĀ° be a VERY general summary
AC: SĀ°, take this with a grain Ā°f sand
AC: When a seadweller drĀ°wns sĀ° deep in either the flush Ā°r pitch quadrant, they will initiate the bethrĀ°thal prĀ°cess with their partner by gifting them their Emblem Ring, pretty standard stuff.Ā
AC: That passing Ā°f pĀ°wer dĀ°esnāt gĀ° unnĀ°ticed; their GrimGuard dĀ°es nĀ°tice and begins tĀ° prĀ°tect their partner instead
AC: That is, if they apprĀ°ve the uniĀ°n.Ā
AC: But yĀ°u shĀ°uld have nĀ°thing tĀ° wĀ°rry abĀ°ut if their intentiĀ°ns are true.
AC: YĀ°uād be surprised hĀ°w many tr Ā°lls like tĀ° use Ā°ur feelings tĀ° claim a high-rank cullā¦
AC: Yeah, that dĀ°esnāt fly with the GrimGuardsā¦
AC: SĀ°, ring exchange is halfway dĀ°ne, but hĀ°w wĀ°uld the recipient be able tĀ° reciprĀ°cate?Ā
AC: Well, getting a ring made is a nĀ°n-issue, whether purchased Ā°r hand crafted.
AC: As fĀ°r their GrimGuardā¦
AC: MĀ°st Ā°f the time, they get assigned sĀ°meĀ°ne thatās best suited fĀ°r their needs, but sĀ°me trĀ°lls have had interactiĀ°ns with First Pearl descendants withĀ°ut even knĀ°wing!Ā
AC: Secret prĀ°tectiĀ°ns!Ā ~~ ā( >į“„>)
AC: But in the end, what yĀ°u get is a bĀ°nd that literally cannĀ°t be brĀ°ken!
AC: Sadly, nĀ°t a lĀ°t Ā°f seadwellers dĀ° this ritual anymĀ°reā¦
AC: As tĀ° why, thatās a mystery tĀ° meā¦ in retrĀ°spect, I shĀ°uld prĀ°bably lĀ°Ā°k intĀ° thatā¦
AC: Ah, lĀ°veā¦
AC: Such an intricate dance fĀ°r twĀ° sĀ°uls tĀ° fĀ°rever be bĀ°und
AC: Itās sĀ°ā¦ beautifulā¦
AC: YĀ°u kn Ā°wā¦
AC: In an etherealā¦ Outer Godly wayā¦
AC: mm hmā¦nĀ°thing says ārĀ°manceā like The Dark Artsā¦ rĀ°mantic stuffā¦
AC: And there yĀ°u have it! Let me knĀ°w if yĀ°u have any mĀ°re questiĀ°ns!Ā
