some mattokian jewelry lore. the introductory page of many detailing the customs, rituals, and aesthetics of ornament. customs vary between the 13 mak'nimus clans, as well as the 6 ostsiksinum clans, yet remain intelligible to one another.

her birth name was mamìn, after the sacred fish carcass invidia, her mother, gave birth next to in the stream. she labored beside it as carrion fed on its ribs. even this felt divined ; that her daughter would be the swimmer, the gateway between the underworld's sea and the world of the living.

ornament is the mattokian way ; they are living reliquaries meant to embody grave goods given form. nail art is common amongst the various clans. while verrot keeps his naturally black claws plain with laborious upkeep and external rings, ruina paints and decorates hers.

per clan tradition, ruina would describe herself as a maiden [a genderless order of astronomers] or more aptly, a "gnomon," a gender identity named after the part of the sundial which casts a shadow. typically associated with feminine identity, "gnomon" relays a sense of centeredness

What does your WOL/OC personally think about the newfound peace with the Garleans? Do they think the Garlean people should be forgiven? Do they think Garlemald has suffered enough? Or do they think Garlemald needs to face more severe reperations for what they have done?

ruina enjoys most touch, especially the effortless and commanding type. a heavy caress at the shoulder, a grip at the waist. but the way to her heart is a sloping touch from neck, to collarbone, to chest. she needs some degree of breastplay to reach finish.

regardless of how "right" it is, ruina knew that in order to shape her prophecy she had to usher death into a life of hardship. she needed young verrot to endure life's cruelty, so that he might be incensed to set it right. she made a romantic, driven, insatiable monster.

mattokian beauty customs are as vast as the people themselves, but some core elements translate across the clans and across the vast tracks of land. these are typically predicated on appearing "obscurum" ; dark, night, void-touched. black pigment is key.

ruina was born in a waterway outside of the shroud, between the hathoeva and yug'ram rivers. her clans territory had traditionally been that of the shrouds watery caverns and riverbeds, but eventually they were pushed out.

I would also love to know more about Ruina. What was her upbringing like?
Finally, I'm such a fan of magick systems in general. How does magick play into the politics of your world? Is magick a thing found everywhere or is it only something found and wielded by few?

in many ways, she is a tried and true mattokian. long braids with belled hair clasps, beadwork embellishments, opulent black fabric adorned with bones, silverwork. she favors dress forms that accentuate her chest and waist. she doesn't like wearing gloves, she prefers bare touch!

she is a woman of immense faith and ritual, but ishgardian practice bores her. its a bit amusing, in its violent mundanity. she saw vespers as a means to socialize and to keep allegations of heresy at bay. she kept a comedically ugly statue of halone on the grounds for good measure.

when ruina immigrated to ishgard, she brought a trunk. within it, she brought clippings of her favored herbs from home and an ancestral beehive. when she was evicted to the brume, she collected rain water run-off and used dark magick, in secret, to grow and keep her herbs and hive.

the chaste answer are her rituals of vanity. there is little she adores more than lighting a beeswax candle and sitting before her favorite mirror, doing her hair and face. the nsfw answer is, unashamedly, masturbating. her favored places are in the bath, or beneath the stars.

a texture she favors is what I can best describe as "thread." spun yarn for her looms, thin thread for sewing, cornsilk, hanks of animal hair, and the hair of a lover's head. things that can be brushed, braided, oiled, woven, and kept. she also likes the feeling of skin, leather, hide.
