A fragrant garden before the Theatre of Bloody Threnodies.
Thick dreamy cotton clouds are spread across the firmament. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A lithe, curving figure rises from a basin of purest lapis lazuli, while a murky, musk-scented fog pours from her open mouth and horns. Inspecting the gardens, Jinlu Ilithyia stands off to the side demurely. Enginseer Ventidius De'Unnero, The Iron Magus is here. He wields a magnum blastworks in his left hand and a cast iron, shrapnel-covered shield in his right.
You see exits leading south and in.

Plucking at flowering vines of the amaranth from the garden nearby, Jinlu Ilithyia sets about to weave an intricate wreath. One by one she entangles them, stringing the bone shards along their length so that they peak from beneath the white blooms. At last, she adds a blood-red ribbon as a final touch.

ct Quickly!
She is a fiendish undead irontongue viscanti demigoddess and her eyebrows are the same frigid white as her hair, arched in a display of perfect elegance. A faint smirk graces her lips, which are painted a midnight black colour, two fang tips barely visible over the slightly plumper bottom one. Her make-up is almost nonexistent, only faint traces of blush and eye kohl done in a frosty blue. Porcelain, doll-like skin covers her body, though it is barely visible through the everpresent, shifting miasma of Taint that clouds it from view. Seeming to originate from her, the viscous fog constantly shifts and roils, spiralling and whirling in an evershifting pattern of mystifying complexity. The only thing clearly visible at all times through the stirring black and crimson clouds are her eyes. Almond shaped, her right iris displays the full purple spectrum, a light lavender at the outside that darkens beautifully towards the deep indigo surrounding the pupil. Her left irises share the colouration, the six smaller ones surrounding the larger center one in a circular pattern, a total of seven staring out in an unnerving manner. Her build, while petite, still manages to carry a feminine grace with its faint hourglass curve. She is wearing a three-tiered, tainted pearl necklace, a bracelet of dangling pearls, an elegant amaranth hair pin trailing pearls, a mottled bloodstone watch, a crown of argent desire, a platinum and angel skin coral promise ring, an etched pearl ring, 2 thin turquoise bands, 2 etched turquoise rings, a wide velvet choker embroidered with fanciful nightingales, a thin opal band, a webbed wedding band of platinum, a braided indigo ring, a smooth pearl ring, Prayer Beads of Drocilla, heirloom slippers of blood silk perched upon kittenish heels, ardent robes of midnight-veiled blood silk and fine Delportian lace, a black and silver embroidered silk satchel, a verdant emerald bracelet carved with tentacles and a midnight black rose.
Her luxuriously full, smooth white hair has been pulled back and tied into a single, elegant braid. Despite being almost austere in its functionality, her hair is nevertheless beautiful, tied near the end with a single black ribbon.

You reach out and touch a fragrant wreath of rune-inscribed bone shards.
You cross beneath the sculpted archways of the Palace of Prophets, gazing about the walls at the bountiful artwork displayed for all to see - the beatific visages of the Holy Emanations, the Three Fates, the sigils of the Great Houses, some paintings done by the y'Bolgari. A particularly lifelike landscape catches your eye, its canvas, however, bearing the signature of Vit n'Rotri, as you continue on. Hurrying on their errands for the Fatalists, people of various races pass you by and you ponder at the true amalgam of cultures to be found only in Magnagora in those bygone days - a diversity from which the best was chosen, and everything else discarded. A cheerful cry from below pulls your attention to a balcony overlooking the preparations about the gleamng Stone of Truth at the heart of the Palace. The air about it thrums with power and you, yourself, thrum with anticipation of the transformation that has been foretold and which brought you all here.

Crimson skin dotted with a handful of ochre freckles covers the young maiden, betraying her viscanti heritage at first glance. Her fiery red curls have been tamed into a decadent chignon at the nape of her neck, loose curls left framing the youthful face. Yellow eyes, wise beyond their years and slightly out of focus, draw attention to a face with a hooked nose and suprisingly pale lips. She is dressed in the simple clothing of a lady of few means yet innate elegance and standards - a white blouse and a black walking skirt sewn with amaranths. Her neck, wrists, fingers and earlobes all bear an affluence of bone jewelry, the only extravagance to her otherwise demure attire.
Jinlu Ilithyia is quite powerful.
