Crinos Kylal is the daughter of the current leader of the Seven-Star Nation, Tessalus Kylal. Though she spent most of her young life hidden from public view (usually stuck in a book in the library), she has recently taken up a more public role, showing great potential for leadership during stressful political events that were beginning to overwhelm her mother.
It’s been a bit of time since an Agwilika Rhe character update. Here was the previous version of Crinos’s face:
Located within the holy mountain of Elehura, the Serii Shrine contains an effigy of Pagol, a healer from ancient times and representative of divine grace for the gwil people. Tatyakori, the divine dragon and steward of the living world, stands upon the stage shaped as Pagol’s tail, appearing to be confronting the viewer. The four-pointed sun symbol as seen in the roof opening is the sigil of Tatyakori and what lies hidden deeper within the holy mountain.
Sparky looked at the yellow-toned robold and asked, “What’s with the paint job?” He looked a little closer and growled, “and what’s with the boob job?!” He spoke up to get the attention of the other robolds in the room, “All right, who’s been making unauthorized modifications here?” The other robolds showed some concern and maybe a little fear. In the back, a hand rose. Sparky’s irritation instantly disappeared. “Oh, Elektra! This is the robold you were planning to make? All right, all right. Wow, you built them fast. I guess the creative spark captured you.” Elektra nodded and walked up beside the new arrival. While giving their ‘bold a pat on the head, she replied, “I’m calling them Elektrobold, or Ellie for short.” Ellie giggled, indicating they loved the name. Elektra continued, “I wanted mine to reflect my feminine form more. For some reason I didn’t find the need to alter the hips…” Sparky nervously answered, “Uhhhhh, that was to give them a lower center of gravity and room for more power storage. Also a bit of a reference to suyens…” Elektra scoffed and disingenuously answered, “Sure thing, champ.”
These suyen siblings landed jobs as attendants of the Council Lord Tatyakori (pictured in the background). They quickly became the dragon’s favorites and are the most likely to be seen beside Tatyakori at major events wearing their adorable uniforms. Eh, don’t tell them I said that. Ibril is the one on the right with the slimmer build.
And a bonus; Ontakh’in is hanging out with a new prerart here. Prerarts may become an additional race in Sharpheart and Elehura. Prerarts already exist in Agwilika Rhe, but in that story they are closely related to agwil, agwilikans, and akelikans and bear a close resemblance. In these other stories, they’ll have a more reptilian look to make them distinct from the other races.
This all started because I had placed a suyen and prerart model near each other and realized a suyen could feasibly ride a prerart if they existed in the same universe. In Elehura, a giant type called a pri-prerart may eventually exist, big enough for a human to ride. That relates to a very old concept for a character that accompanies the protagonist of that story and gives them a ride across the desert to the holy mountain Elehura.
There was an image of the Council Lords in the Sharpheart page from 2011 that desperately needed an update. Now that the 3D models of the trio have matured, I’m finally swapping that old one out.
There was an area on the sixth floor of the Obmunjalae Voidplane vessel next to the elevators that was just a weird empty space with no real use yet. There was a dining hall on the fifth floor just below this space, and that got me the idea to put a smaller drink lounge to fill it in. This wound up leading to a whole bunch of tangential changes including adding actual hinges to doors, improving the design of the elevators, some updates to Lady Jalae’s model (pictured center frame), adding detail to some of the vessel’s connecting bits (one such being visible at the top of the image), and a whole thing about calculating the appropriate size of the water dispensers so I didn’t make something that would weigh 100 pounds and hurt whoever had to swap them out.
You can see that teas are a key drink served at the lounge, based on my own interest in the beverage.
The gwil name for this type of location is “sefbeko”, literally a drink-house. The dining hall below is called a “yumbeko”, an eat-house.
“You made one of your little minions into a coffee machine?” “No, no, it’s just the interchangeable tail that’s a coffee machine. … so, do you want a cup?” “If it’s not a great cup of coffee, I am going to be extremely disappointed in my alternate self.”
A revision of a previous submission, this time with two alternate dimension Creative Spark Dragons participating. Elektra on the upper left is looking rather bemused at the situation, and Lurobak (the prerart in the lower left) is conversing with a microbold helping with the mugs. One robold is recovering from a wintry tongue accident.
