After a heavy defeat, the party flees to a crumbling fortress, Castello Perenne, Aaliyah’s old home. It was once home to a community of druids, until the Kokinos family declared war on ‘deviant magic’, which was any magic they weren’t able to fully control. Aaliyah was one of the only survivors of the raid, and has vowed to get justice for her people.

Day thirteen of #Taletober - Tower
Aaliyah sits up on one of the towers of Castello Perenne, a place she once called home.

Took a slightly different interpretation of the word as in 'musical key' as I was getting stumped on what people normally think of in my planning. This is the counterpart to Myrna from day 11, Finn Sterling, Bard of Masks and and elemental channeller. Here he's channelling the element of fire with help from his fox mask (foxes being creatures of fire) upon a channellers pedestal (ancient locations where people would first learn magic) You could say the pedestal is a 'key' to unlocking magic

Day twelve of #Taletober - Key
Finn Sterling channels fire through the channellers plinth with his music, aided by his fox mask. Counterpart to day 11

“Pyrrhus stared at his sword conflicted as Nereus watched on. He lost this sword the day he went over the side of the boat and ended up in the Hidden Hollow. Apparently it had washed up not too long ago on the same beach he did back then. Perhaps it’s a sign from the gods that he must take up arms once again.”

Day eight of #Taletober - Sword
Another canon event :3 This is part of the ‘accepting the call’ story beat where Pyrrhus is given his sword back by Nereus.
