Level 2 Goddess of The Supernatural (Soul) 7 Might 1 Miracle 3.25/4 Acts of Creation
Kap Gam feels nice again, decides to go back to work. But working is hard, so she summons her hero, Martha/Knight Constance. (1 might) Constance was also supposed to do something for her, but she got distracted and messed up. Nevertheless, the goddess gets the fairy to find some quartz and make a big crystal ball. After that, she uses the ball to form a ley map of the world, and peer into a few souls. (Free action - Souls)
-Martha Constance- 2 prestige -2 Craft a Crystal Ball
After resting on the room built by Aella, Kap Gam felt reinvigorated, sitting back up, the goddess' responsibilities quickly flashed on her mind, quickly making it clear she needed help.
She moved to a room with only a fountain and many Ley growths on the wall and extended her hand. A strong shine quickly filled the room, the water floating towards the air and forming a bubble in the air, the water within spinning quickly. Suddenly, with a strong flash, it bursts and returns to the ground, a fairy where it once stood. For a few moments, she floated there, before slowly opening her eyes and flapping her wings.
"Yawn" she moved her hands about, an outfit quickly forming to cover her tattoo-covered body. She looked around idly, before suddenly noticing who was in front of her. "Ma'am!" she flew towards Kap Gam and hugged her tightly.
The goddess remained passive, looking to the side as her knight squeezed her. "It is good to see you again, Constance." she waited until she was let go.
"Did you find it?"
"Yup! I found it, master. I looked all around, and then I found Terpsichore, and then I had her look at the music box and she fixed it."
"Good, can you give it to me?" there was a clear hint of interest in the goddess face.
"Oh right, let me see." the fairy's hand moved, passing through her clothes and phasing into her body. "... Uhm... Hehe... I might have made a mistake."
"What?"
"Oh right, I think I know where it was, there was this mortal girl, and I saw her, and then she saw me, and I tried to run away, but I think while I did that I might have lost the box."
"What?" Kap Gam repeated, increasing distress showing up on her expressionless face.
"S-Sorry Ma'am, I will fix it. Just give me a moment..." the fairy started to look around for any transuniversal lane, but was stopped by the goddess's hand reaching into her shoulder.
"Do not. That can wait."
"Oh?"
"I need your help, there are some issues with this world and the flow of souls" the goddess told, looking around to see if she saw any fitting temple for what she wanted to do next. "Find a good deposit of quartz and make me a crystal ball with a radius the size of an arm."
"Okay! Will do it, ma'am." the little fairy left quite quickly, and a week later, she would return to the goddess carrying a crystal ball many times her size, effortlessly. "And done. Vapt Vupt."
The goddess just nodded, and allowed the fairy to take it to the central spot of the room, soon, the orb would fly up in the air and stabilize. All Ley growths on the room would reflect with a contained shine on it, soon, that shine would grow, making lines that extended all around the orb. It was mostly a pale purple shine, but there were areas with odd colors, red, bright purple, green. Once complete, the whole crystal ball emanated light to the room, it was mostly smooth, but there were glimpses of hard to understand imagery on it.
Kap Gam extended her hand and focused, a circular shape floating in front of her forehead appearing. She glimpsed into a few souls, going from region to region, seeing what they saw and learning what they learned. She stopped and pondered.
"Are these the leylines of this world? They look bad, really bad." the knight said. "Do you have any plan to fix this?"
"Many key points were under the sea, which is not good. Furthermore, this world has a strong resonance..." the goddess commented to her fairy before opening up her eyes. "But I have a plan, I just need the means."
"Kap Gam has good taste..." Aella muttered to herself after swooping down and landing at the beginning of the path leading up to the temples she'd created. The alpine mountain range had a beautiful view and clean air, something that she certainly wasn't used to. She rolled her eyes and smiled at the thought of Larwen, but quickly shook her head and slapped her cheeks. "Focus, Aella."
She let her fingertips graze one of the smooth marble pillar as she started to make her way through the pathway. The first temple of a series was right in front of her. The light color scheme, the airy design of the place and the use of flowers had her fully extending her wings in excitement as she regarded everything with wide eyes.
A sprite eventually found its way to her and seemed to cling to her, following as she walked. A cloud shaped like a wingless bird passed overhead. In the distance, a drac dipped itself into a cyan stream of water.
She passed the entrance to the first temple and shivered, a few glowing feathers falling from her wings and onto the impeccable floor. Looking around, she saw nothing but sprites and the occasional drac but she could feel her sister around.
"A-hem," She cleared her throat, "Hello, sister! It's me, Aella, I love this place, you really have a passion for construction and décor, don't you?" She said with a bright smile.
"S-sister..." it felt odd to refer to them lack that, but Kap Gam had more pressing issues. "Your feet... you are stepping on my arm." the goddess was not around her, but under her, laying on the cold marble floor, where she was resting before being suddenly stepped on.
"Ah!" In a flash of light, Aella jumped off of Kap Gam, "W-What are y..." She sighed and ran a hand over her face, leaning her head back.
After a moment, she let out a chuckle and sat down besides Kap Gam. With gentle movements, she tried to 'clean' the spot on her arm that she'd stepped on, which Aella realized quickly was a ludicrous thing to do, considering no dirt seemed to ever cling to herself, so why should it to Kap Gam?
"Sorry about stepping on you, I must have been too enthralled by the beauty of the architecture to, uh... Notice you were there." She smiled sheepishly and rubbed her neck awkwardly.
The other goddess shook her head. "Not an issue, I am not hurt. It is understandable, my cloak conceals my presence, typically good, but everything has its flaws." she took a deep breath and, with a struggle, sat on the floor, so she would be face to face with Aella. "Thank you for the kind words. I felt other siblings visiting this land, you are the first to stop and enjoy its peacefulness and charm." even as she said those words, her expression was still the same neutral one.
Then, suddenly, upon closer inspection, she noticed where Aella had been until her visit. "You met with Larwen?" she questioned.
The smile was gone, and Aella felt the colour drain from her face a little when Kap Gam mentioned Larwen. She hadn't expected her, or anyone, to be able to tell where she'd been. It wasn't that she was ashamed of having visited Larwen, but... Having the others know that she was on friendly terms with him so quickly was probably not good, considering how many of her siblings wanted him dead or imprisoned. She bit her lip and looked away, then responded slowly, "I... Have. I have met with him. He's not so bad, you know? Just has some issues to work out..." She trailed off and her voice dropped into silence, not resuming eye contact with her sister.
"I do not know. Each time I observed him he was antagonizing to all." she told, coldly as ways, turning her head slightly to still face the sister who tried to avoid eye contact before continuing "But, there must be good reason for you to say this. It would be better to have one less god to worry about. Though I take offence at any form of mind bending, my worries with Larwen were based on his promises."
Aella looked down at her hands and took in a deep breath. She couldn't tell her sister to not worry, either. For all the good Aella had seen in Larwen, he was clearly himself, and the promises he'd made, while made in the heat of the moment no doubt, were a perfect reflection of his feelings and desires. She'd grown to understand him and accept him, but would the others be willing to open their hearts like she'd done? She shook her head and looked at Kap Gam, who was staring at her with her neutral, tired expression.
"He and I created something beautiful, Kap Gam. For once, he didn't seek to overpower and corrupt that which wasn't from him. Instead, he let his influence, his essence, mix with mine... Granted, the result was a very kind tree, not too useful, but... You get the idea, sister." Aella sighed and lied down on the floor, "Now it is me that feels like resting on the floor."
The floor was cold yet comfortable, went very well with the humidity the garden and fountains provided to the whole area. The dome roof of the temple was open on its center, allowing for stargazing as the sun had set as Aella arrived. Kap Gam took the opportunity to lay on the floor again. "It is hard to follow some of what you say, but it seems you did something good." she said. "I had little hope for anything but conflict, so I am glad to hear I was wrong."
Aella turned her head to look at her shorter sister, laying on the floor next to her. She giggled after she heard her words, "Sister, you'd be surprised what doors a little kindness can open. Anyhow, before this great view of Axnas' domain shreds the last my focus..." Aella turned to lie on her side so she could comfortably look at Kap Gam as she spoke, "I visited because I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to let me fill one of your temples with things for you? I want to make a beautiful piece of my domain around here for your enjoyment. I've already done something similar in Larwen's mount, Pervanon." She explained as she stretched a wing and covered Kap Gam with it like a extra-fluffy blanket.
Kap Gam took a moment to answer, not out of doubt, but out of surprise. Taking a moment to appreciate the kind presence of her sister. "You are asking me if I would accept a gift?" she questioned, but not seriously, the small hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth made it clear. "There are many empty rooms in the temples built along this site, I tried filling them, but I am not nearly as good as my knights when it comes to having ideas, and since so far I have not summoned any... Still, that means there are many rooms free for you to use as you please." The goddess wondered what her sister could possibly want to build, thinking over many possibilities. Though her enthusiasm did not show, her fixed eyes gave a hint of her curiosity.
Aella grinned, "Thank you! I think you'll like what I have in mind, but don't think for a second that I didn't notice that small smile you gave just now." She said giddily, bringing her hand up to caress Kap Gam's cheek, "You have a lovely smile, sister, you really should show it off more often."
She waited a moment, feeling the caress on her unchanged face. "I would smile if I could." was all she said, looking slightly to the side, Aella's words making her few melancholic.
Aella pursed her lips, "Well, I will remember that smile, just so you know." She said and lightly poked Kap Gam's nose before she stretched her limbs, yawned and stood up. "Well, it's time to begin with my gift. Want to lead me to any specific room, or?"
The goddess of souls blinked when her nose was poked, once again making an effort to stand up. "You can choose a room fit to the needs of your creation, some are open, some are closed, some have fountains of flowing water."
"I will take one with a fountain, then." She said with a chuckle as she wrapped one of her wings around Kap Gam and used it to gently push her sister along and get her to keep up as she began walking.
They spent minutes going from temple to temple, walking the pathways and looking for the famed 'fountain room'. When they finally found it, the sky was now purple and dark blue with stars shining and twinkling brightly. Why Kap Gam hadn't found the motivation or energy to tell Aella where the room was since the beginning, she'd never know. But now she had arrived, and she could truly begin her work. She pulled her wing away from Kap Gam and smiled sheepishly at her, noticing the numerous feathers stuck between the various pieces of her coat.
"Sorry about that, sister, my feathers tend to get caught easily." She said before taking in the room. It was spacious, but nothing like the chamber Larwen had allowed to use; what it truly excelled at was the openness of it and of course, the fountain in the center of the room. With the roof open to the sky above it and with cyan-colored water flowing freely and unendingly in it, the fountain took up an impressive diameter. Some may even mistake it for some kind of exotic bathing room at first.
Of course, like everything else, it was made out of smooth marble. There was nothing wrong with that, but Aella had started to feel as if these Temples needed a bit of... Flavor to them.
So after taking everything in, she stretched both of her arms towards the open part of the roof over the fountain and closed her eyes. Nothing happened. When she opened her eyes and checked, she huffed and closed them again.
She grit her teeth and felt her essence shine and evaporate from her fingertips. Meanwhile, the open roof was beginning to show signs of change. One could still see the beautiful night sky, but it was as if one was seeing it through a whirlpool. Not one made of water, but one made of pure white light. Subtle currents moved the light in a clockwise fashion, and droplets of water couldn't help but be pulled up into the anomaly with tiny ripples.
Aella let out a grunt and relaxed, letting her hands drop to her sides. "That was... More difficult than I expected." She bit the tip of her tongue and watched the drops of water go into the light and disappear, "That doesn't lead anywhere yet. Where do you think that water's going?" Aella turned to ask Kap Gam, her wings pressed tightly together.
Kap Gam had been resting her hand against a wall and looking down, trying to catch her breath, from the very moment she arrived, after being dragged around by the goddess of kindness through many temples, trying her best to tell her where the fountain temple was, but her whisper-like voice clearly not making it past the other deity's excitement.
She looked up when prompted, looking up at first towards the goddess and then up towards the odd rippling portal over the gateway. "Typically I should be able to perceive such things." she told, having finally regained her voice after the forced march. She squinted slightly. "But something is blocking me from seeing it." she added, looking a the little droplets of the thermal cyan water going up and then vanishing.
Calmly, she lifted from the ground and floated towards the area, looking closer, before outright, yet slowly, diving past it. Immediately, her cloak was broken into bits and vanished as she went past, thankfully not all of her clothes neither any of her devices, that would have been a major issue for the goddess. She looked back into it, and then floated back towards the kind goddess. "It leads nowhere, but also everywhere. It broke my cloak..."
Aella clasped her hands and looked down, bowing her head slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for part of my gift to damage you in any way-" She lifted her gaze to check Kap Gam over, making sure she had no actual injuries. "Are you hurt? I can heal you if that's the case."
"No." was all she said initially, the goddess not noticing the awkward silence the blunt answer made at first. "I feel fine. My cloak grows back too. No harm done."
"Oh, okay, I understand. My armor grows back as well, when I've had enough time to recover after battle-" Aella shut her mouth so quickly that her teeth nearly tore reality itself open, "Uh, if I were to battle, that is. Perks of being a God." She shrugged and walked to the fountain. She sat on the low wall(???) of the fountain and closed her eyes again, picturing how she wanted the new wall to look.
To Kap Gam it would look as if light materialized and pulled itself into solid shaped on the wall, leaving behind glowing form and silhouettes. The octagonal fountain was slowly subjected to the transformation, and by the end of it, it was as much a source of refreshing water as it was an invaluable piece of art. Depictions of the Pantheon were abundant, with every God and Goddess having their own spot and with Aella and Kap Gam being depicted bigger than all the others, with Aella looking lovingly down at a Kap Gam that was sleeping on her lap.
After a moment and once all the light vanished, leaving behind perfectly carved marble, Aella opened her eyes to look at Kap Gam. "Like it?" She grinned, "I even added an entire part to Larwen, because he's always on his own in Pervanon." She said, still sitting at the fountain.
It took a good while to take in all that there was to see in that fountain. The first thing she noticed, was obviously the main duo, the goddess found it initially curious, a bit odd, she always disliked to see herself sleeping, though the natural warmth of the creation, the comfort Aella's aura was imbued with, was enough for her to overlook it and see it for its beauty. "You stepping on my arm would be also a fair depiction of this encounter, but it would give a different tone to the fountain." she jested but did not smile. She then looked closer, observing each carving. "You are great at noticing the details, everyone looks lifelike, from Larwen in his forge to Seihdhara in her typical lack of an attire... I wonder if she will ever grow an outfit like us."
"Our sister loves her freedom. I doubt any kind of attire can hold her down for longer than a second." Aella said, "Besides, I can understand her. I get tired of wearing this heavy armour all the time. The one difference is that I only take it off in private..."
"Ah..." The goddess sighed, a rare event, but all this talk of baths and nudity made her nostalgic for long lost times. "There was a time in which I could do so, but now it is a huge chore, it is hard to maneuver out of my clothes without upsetting the relics. As such, I tend to bath while dressed... In truth for a god it is not necessary, if our nature is to be clean, we will be clean... But the feeling of refreshment is an universal one, felt by mortals and immortals alike..." she looked to her side for a moment. "I am just glad Martha Constance is not with me yet, she would surely make terrible wordplay if she saw the animal that hides in Seihdhara's aura."
Aella couldn't help but crack a smirk, but was still somewhat confused. Who was this Martha Constance? "Heh, excuse my ignorance, sister. Who is this Martha Constance? I'd love to hear her wordplay."
"Knight Constance is one of my loyal flutterlings, elite fairies who belong to clans many universes old. She is very pretty, and she has a... well, burgundy armor, but Burgundy is the name of another flutterling clan, so we say its pink-purple. I have not summoned her yet though, it takes a lot from me and I simply lack the energy now." she explained "I have many other Martha who aid me, but Constance... well, the name tells it."
Aella nodded, "I understand. Having friends you can count on is important, I'm glad you have someone like that. Please give her a hug from me when you see her again, alright?"
"With Constance it is not much of an option... She is... the opposite of me, at least right now." she then looked at Aella and wondered, noticing her aura. "You are not a young god either, are you? There is a tangible difference between the first born and the arrivals... Ascended mortals make it harder to judge, but I find myself noticing the behavior patterns and the way the souls resonates in different tones."
Aella looked to the side and let her hair obscure her face. "I- It's no-" her voice cracked and she lifted a hand to her obscured face- Being asked that all of a sudden, there was no way to prepare for the swift stab to her barely put together heart. "It's not... Something I like to think about. That life was one led by the blind and those who thirsted for blood," Her voice became a whisper as she rubbed at her eyes, "It was such a blindness that overtook me that I escaped its grip only moments before I came here. An entire world's weight is on my shoulders..."
The kind goddess would suddenly feel the ephemeral one's hand touching her opposite shoulder, in a half-hug and a sign of support. "It is fine now. I am sorry." she really was, if she knew the situation, she would have done her best to not bring such feelings up. "You have already done so much to avoid conflict, this universe can only thank you for your noble quest." she was far from the best with such words, her warmth having escaped her back when she was a first born, yet she felt she compelled to give back after receiving so much from Aella.
Aella half-turned to look at her sister with misty eyes, before pulling her into an embrace and shaking her head, "Do not worry, this is my burden to carry, but it is good to know that you're here, Kap Gam." Aella chuckled half-heartedly and sniffled, "Us sisters have to stick together."
A moment passed with the sisters embracing one another, but soon it was time for Aella to stand and smile once again. "Anyway, I realize the room looks somewhat bare right now, sis, but the true meat of it, the gateway and the fountain are done. I will come back in the future and quietly add more things, if you'd like, but there's one last thing I want to do before leaving." She snapped her fingers and on the far end of the room a moderately sized, shiny marble bench appeared.
She snapped her fingers again and a white cushion appeared on top of it. "There we go, a bench for you to rest at when you get tired, so that when I come to visit you, I don't step on you again." Aella laughed and gave Kap Gam another quick hug. "I have to leave now, sis, but I'll make sure to visit often." She said before flapping her wings and flying away.
"Thank you again for visiting, Aella. Know you are always welcomed here." the goddess told, before sitting on the newly created bench.
Aella decides to visit Kap Gam at the Locus Amoenus Accidentally steps on her. But its fine. The two start to talk about a variety of things. Kap Gam discovers Aella was visiting Larwen, but is fine with it and happy with the results. Aella offers to build a gift in one of the place's empty rooms. She makes a gateway that leads to nowhere at the moment and also a fountain with depictions of all the gods. They talk a bit more, Kap Gam notices Aella, much like her, is an older goddess, accidentally opening up some old wounds.

The goddess calmly walked along the pathway of the temples, her feet touched the small pool of water and created ripples that, no matter what, would never go overboard and pour out. She was a bit frustrated that once again she seemed to have mismanaged her efforts and got herself tired before she could advance her objectives. Planning was never her strong point, she knew how to prepare and she knew it well, but actual outlining of objectives, that was a bit beyond.
Yet it had been a good idea to construct the temple in such a blessed land, for this time despite the weakness of her body she did not feel tired or in pain, the mountain air and the flow of Ley resonance helped to mitigate any fatigue.
While she rested, she felt a little ring to her ears, a disturbance in the area. Locus Amoenus was not a large sprawling area, most of it was perfectly within the goddess' range.
"Brother" she whispered, sighing almost, there were beings that thought absence was enough to be sneaky, but that was not how it worked, a person that lacks a shadow, a completely muted forest, an odorless flower, a reflectionless mirror, all those stood out, so did Césure.
She rubbed her chin, what could death be planning? She, from the start, suspected the god, who seemed to always avoid the presence of others and to hide the intent of his creations. Unfortunately, she had little time to pay attention to that matter now, and to hope her siblings would understand the issue at hand was hopeless, Larwen was able to get away with openly declaring war to the pantheon, it seemed that until they jumped at someone's neck, all lions and tigers would be indistinguishable from helpless kitten.
Siblings. "Not really." though the term would fit and it would fit well, compared to what Kap Gam once called siblings. But what was long ago, and she really did not hold bitter feelings over that, neither did she hold bitter feelings now, she just worried about the souls and the mortals.
Speaking of which, the acts of her sister Seihdhara had not escaped her, two courts of "fae" spread across the land, none had made as far as the tall retreat of Locus Amoenus, which was thankful, Kap Gam would have no patience for their intrigues up in her own land.
Sullied and Unsullied, she didn't hold either in high regards at the moment, to battle your siblings like that, just because of some perceived destiny, was the opposite of what Fae should be, they were the free souls, they should not hate each other based on clans and names. Worse were the Perfected Fae her sprites told her about, mindless servants of the God of Twisted Views, their great flaw not laying in the distortion and perversion natural to Larwen, but on the fact they followed it without question. So far, at least.
She needed a better weapon than the Hydra, not more powerful, but less cruel. The bites of the serpent were no way to deal with anything but the most corrupted things, she could never use it on beings that while deserving of some punishment, still were souls worthy of a new chance. She also needed more types of Fae to make her company, and to bring the Marta, her knights, to this world, and to create more measures that would stop the Ley from overflowing in a century or so... She sighed, she felt tired already.
Kap Gam is chilling after using up much of her power. Resting on her temple, thinking over things. She notices Césure, and hmms hard. She acknowledges the Sullied, Unsullied and the Perfected, but is like "Yeah, they are 'Fae' but not real bonafide Fae Fae" because they are racist or something. Finally, she thinks about what she needs to do to not let the world be so screwed, its a long list and it makes her fatigued.
capy. i must know now. who is kappy. pls. i'm dyin here. if u don't tell me i'm going to go and read THE WHOLE DIVINUS IC, MEANING I WON'T BE REVISING FOR MY EXAMS, MEANING I WILL FAIL - AND IT WILL ALL B UR FAULT!
Fae are not biological creatures, but magical ones, their very souls casting together a body from a variety of materials. With bodies that can be better described as "Dust held together by magic." the Fae are timeless creatures with no need for bodily functions. There is no limit to how much a Fae may live, their magic do slowly wane, but both rebirth and replinishing are possible, what mostly 'kills' a Fae is simple boredom, as a life lacking strong emotions and/or ambitions quickly drains their will to live, the very thing which brought them to this world in the first place. Simple sprites can live simple lives, but the more advanced the fae, the harder it is to keep exisiting in that form.
When the soul leaves their body, it typically simple explodes in a cloud of magic charged dust, the will which kept it together gone. Fae can recover from any wound, even as far as regrowing severed limbs, though how that is done changes from Type to Type.
One important aspect of Fae is "possibility", which dictates how social they can be. The more distant a Fae is from the mortal motifs, the more bothered the Fae will be by living among mortals. A Fae of similar height of a human will have an easier time among a human crowd than a tiny one, so will a wingless one over a winged one or one with hidden magic over one with a magical aura. Some Fae may change forms to better integrate among mortals, such as turning into a canine or a normal human, other may choose to hide their form with an outfit, among other possible solutions.
Fae themselves have certain motifs, antennae/horns, butterfly wings and names and third eyes. Kap Gam appreciates the freedom of the Fae, so she imposes little limit or guidance in how they should act, there is only one thing imbued to them all, a deep respect for ants, a repayment for kindness the goddess received in her original universe. Not even the ones altered by other gods can break that rule.
A sprite is a small being made of dust, plant fibers, and insect bits. Most have 30 centimeters at most, some grow to one meter. Their bodies mimic their environment, so in a forest they will have leaves and petals, in a swamp they might be green and moss-like, in a beach they might have shells and kelp, all that along with typical fae features such as third eyes, antennae and horns.
They are the most basic of fae, often aiming along the natural telluric energies of the Ley, swarming around Clarion Towers or spots with great magic. They can take a variety of form, but are never able to talk normally or have human-like hands.
Dracs are water Fae raised from specialized water sprites. They typically have green, orange or blue skin and bulbous antaenna as well as darker, rounder eyes. They are also advanced enough to wear clothes, typically wearing whatever they can make from the rivers, lakes, swamps, or beaches they inhabit.
They have a more defined shape than Sprites, and are able to create hands to manipulate their environment. Unlike the more idyllic Sprites, some of these Fae follow a mission given by Kap Gam, watering plants, cleaning rivers and hiding pearls inside shells.
=== The Realm of Souls, Mycelium ===
Ley is one single organic entity: A sprawling network of fungi cells that is mostly found deep within the earth, but sometimes sprouts upward in certain spots, creating magically charged areas typically easy to find by the presence of sparkly mushrooms and a plethora of supernatural phenomena.
Its purpose is to bring souls about to this universe. Within its Mycelium countless souls flow about in a primordial existence.
Clarions are a construct of Ley who sprout from the Mycelium, it is by far the most complex and powerful of all the surface Ley constructs, charging the region where they are found with great magic. The term "Haunter Tower" comes more from the fact it is typically inhabited by the supernatural and often whisper words that can be scary to others, there is no pain or torment connected to it.
Locus Amoenus is a pleasant, idyllic place where the Ley is highly concentrated. Built in an unnamed alpine range, the holy site includes the overall regional landscape, a group of marble temples and fountain, as well as the gardens that surround said constructions.
The whole area was shaped with Kap Gam's power, rivers were redirected, pleasant plants were selected, and stones were raised and crumbled as to provide a beautiful and peaceful visage. Gardening is done by sprites and dracs, the latter also helping to keep the fountains and water flow.
The grass has a rich dark green coloration, while the flowers have pronounced colors. The water is clear, fresh and cool, but it has a cyan overtone and in some springs almost shines with that color. The very sky over the land is gentler, with far more striking colors during dawn and sunset, as well as a longer lasting twilight, as if even daylight wanted to stay in the pleasant place a bit longer. Nights are starrier and often spout richer blue and purple colors. During some days, the sky is bright cyan. Clouds always seem interesting to look at, they have clear formations, are prone to create crepuscular rays and seem to really absorb the rich colors of the sky.
The marble temples themselves are simple, more accessory to the garden than what not. Many are completely empty at the moment, a few have a function, such as a plant nursery or a bath. The temples are mostly connected by stone walkways, though there is a main path, that goes from the largest temple towards the temple nearest the ending of the only safe path up the tall mountains. This main pathway is made of marble tiles and surrounded and covered by pillars and an arched roof, a small layer of flowing water runs over the tiles, to anyone with bare feet it will be easy to walk the pathway, to all others, it will feel like they are being washed away by a torrent.
