Ends in 12 days
For this challenge, depict Dualistic Scholar Elaria Blackshade in the Great Archive, or any other event/character from today’s chapter!
Summary: Elaria Blackshade, a scholar of the esoteric Dualistic order, ventures through the vast Grand Archive to attend a secret meeting. There, she learns that a Daimonel—a powerful and destructive creature—has appeared near Myrrathis. Believing this aligns with ancient predictions found in a forbidden tome, Elaria insists they must witness it firsthand to prove the book's validity. When her colleagues hesitate, she volunteers to go alone.
That night, Elaria quietly leaves the Tower, shedding her scholar’s identity for that of a lone traveler. She joins a caravan of Uhmeni nomads heading east—toward the region of the Daimonel sighting. On the journey, she meets a young girl named Christie who mentions an angelic encounter.
Though burdened by guilt for hiding the Daimonel sighting from the caravan, Elaria presses forward, driven by a mix of duty, curiosity, and a desire to unlock ancient cosmic truths.
