Something about Alpha Archon's personal library.
🕑 Added 2024-03-28 11:40:29 +0000 UTC
Alpha Archon is the highest cleric among the terrestrial nymphaids, the leader of the Mother Nature Cult, a mentor to his/her charges and an authority to all other nymphaids, even those who prefer to keep their distance from religion in general and the Mother Nature Cult in particular. Wherever Alpha Archonte appears, he/she will always be received with the respect he deserves and will at the very least listen to his point of view when disputes are being resolved.
The current Archon is a northern faun named Alek Whitehorn, who, along with current Matriarch Violetta Moray, represent the highest political-religious duo of the nymphaids of the Sikets.
Formally, the Archon stands at the top of the clan hierarchy, second only to the Matriarch/Patriarch of all clans. The Archon also participates in the election of the new Matriarch/Patriarch, and his/her vote has a great weight. The Alpha Archon is chosen among the Archons of all the major clans of the Sikets (with a population of over five hundred adult nymphaids) through a complex ritual using the Ancient Mirror System, which is set up in the Manfred Mountains. The residence of the current Alpha Archon is also there, an ancient Gothic castle once built by a long-forgotten human king and abandoned after the end of the Age of Knighthood. Alek, after finding the ruins of the castle, restored it and declared it the property of the Mother Nature Cult. Within the castle walls were moved cells for the closest to the Alpha Archon and guest cells for the Archons of the other clans, guest apartments for the Matriarch, a famous botanical garden with flora samples from all continents and islands of the Sikets, a large alchemical laboratory of the cult, an astronomical department of the cult with a massive mechano-magical telescope and much more.
One of the places on the territory of the castle, where the player will be able to visit in the course of the game, will be the library-museum of Alpha Archon, where in addition to Alek's favorite literature and his multi-volume accounting will be presented various famous exhibits from the history of nymphaids. I won't tell you what winds will carry the main character Faeena Shay there during one of the game missions, let it be a secret.
At the time of Faeena's visit, Alek himself would not be in the library, but within its walls, the Shay Clan's Mother of the Clan would encounter Matriarch Violeta Moray. The same one who will arrive on Sunday to accredit the Shay Clan and officially add it to the map... or dissolve it, if Faeena doesn't have time to solve all the young clan's problems before the fateful day. Not that the unexpected meeting with the strict Matriarch will scare Faeena, not at all, because our heroine is sure that she will make an excellent Mother of the Clan, and the young Shay clan will take its place among the other clans the Sikets. So even being caught by surprise by a sudden meeting with the Matriarch Faeena will try not to fall in the mud and once again show that Matriach was not mistaken when she entrusted the reins of the whole clan to our young and inexperienced heroine!
The library itself consists of two levels - the lower level, where the museum is located, and the upper level, where the Alpha Archon and Matriarch's work desks, shelves of books, and an entire wall of drawers with piles of accounting books are located. The two levels are connected by a small staircase.
The small floor of the library. There are two large work desks, shelves, a wall of drawers, pots of flowers, and a large door leading to the next room. Violetta Moray will be there, absorbed in preparing an important expedition to the New Frontier Islands. The player will be able to interact with the Matriarch and even solve a plot important puzzle with her help. However, do not abuse the Matriarch's attention and distract her with trivial matters!
The museum. In addition to a large globe in the center (which can be spun) and a miniature rune-making laboratory, Alek has collected historically important exhibits that played a major role in the history of the nymphaids. These include the sextant of Repulske Sea explorer Agnetha Moray, the ritual mask of the Guuji of Wokuji Shrine, samples of psychomagic crystals mined from the Upper Sadok mine adits, and much more.... The player will be able to read more about the exhibits by directly interacting with them. Naturally, this will happen in the game itself, so wait for the release, it will come someday!
