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.

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.

feeling an urge to divulge, but lacking direction — ask me anything. nothing off limits. if you want to know something about ichnaea and the relationships he has with verrot and kereboros in odynia, that's okay too. #verrotlore

kereboros is the pi'koki ; vulture. verrot and his shared transformations combine elements of these carrion birds.
these are sacred psychopomps, tricksters, and wicked caretakers. their literal designs are based on them.

verrot's hair is naturally black and streaked with grey. he inherited this from his mother, and his maternal grandfather ; he also inherited it from the vestiges of kereboros, whom the mattokian are descended from (its complicated). it signifies being star and stream-touched. #verrotlore

The garlean empire is responsible, in conjunction with adjacent xenophobia in complicit nations (like gridania), for the culture-choke and slaughter of the eorzean mattokian people ; and more personally, the murder of two of verrot’s grandparents.

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?

while kereboros’s convocation stone was hewn from kammererite, I associate verrot with charonite; the aether crystals that grow along his instruments and the materia that hardens in his bones looks like glowing charonite. #verrotlore

tacet. in latin, it translates to "it is silent." it has been used in passages relating to death, including epitaphs. eternal rest, the eerie quiet when the last breath is drawn. contemporarily, it's used most in music as the alternative to rest. tacet before termination.

salted black licorice ; incredibly divisive to outright offensive to the palette, yet addictive when accepted. a delicacy.
alternatively, pemmican. smoked meat, tongue, blood, and sweet berries, rich with fat, a bar death made. disgusting. you never need to eat anything else.

verrot doesn't have procreative sex, but even if he were in a situation where pregnancy was possible, his sperm is inviable. "infertile" suggests it wouldn't take, but it would take — quickly and unkindly. ruina experienced his genetic weight during her own pregnancy.
