Just behind the mirror, just out of your glance, lies a hidden glowing place where a thousand gardens flourish, safeguarding a fairy species called the Llithe. The Llithe are small, fragile peaceful winged creatures made of light and magic, and spend their time caring and attending to their beautiful garden.

However, soon the Llithe begin to notice shadows in their garden.. shadows bourne by the Whisperers. The Whisperers are dark fairies cast away from their home, and they seek brightness and light, and the brilliance of the Thousand Gardens caught the attention of their inky eyes. And so they stole into the garden one by one, each slowly consuming the light of the garden into starless shadows that gives them comfort.

Soon, the Llithe became aware of the withering flowers in the mysterious shadows, and the Whisperers of the glare in the sun. It will soon be a matter of time before the two faerie families are locked in a struggle that will change the face of the Thousand Gardens for all time.

The Llithe are small, fragile winged fairies made of light and magic, who have dwelled in the Thousand Gardens since time immemorial. Each of them are distinctive in that they have their own Matter (eg: Matter = Dawnsong would result in a Llithe of Dawnsong). Their Matter is blessed on them when they reach young adulthood where they will start their reshaping into full adult. The Matter is not interexchangable and influences them physically and sometimes character-wise.

Some Llithe have magical peaceful powers based on their Matter, and some do not. There are some rare Llithe that have powerful Illuminae magic that transcends their Matter, but they are so far unknown to us.

The Llithe are peaceful, sociable creatures but are suspicious and afraid of the Whisperers.

The Whisperers are dark winged fairies who were banished from their homeland for unknown reasons. Like the Llithe, each Whisperer have their distinct Matter and some have magical powers, and they also go through two stages to adulthood.

The Whisperers are more comfortable in the shadows and dark, but would not object to going into the sunlight. Though often perceived to be gloomy and grim, the Whisperers are kind folk who loves peace just like any other. They just happen to be introvert and very shy.

There are, however, powerful and evil Whisperers who were blessed with the power of Shadow magic, bent on destroying all that is brilliant and beautiful. Fortunately, they are yet to be found in the Thousand Gardens.

The Spirits are the wandering voices of the Garden. They have no body and don't grow but their voices are clear and strong, and they become part of the life in the Garden itself. Some of the voices are soft and dwindle away, and some become strong and have distinct personalities, and all of them have names.

There are only very few Spirits and some new ones resurface from time to time, but noone knows where they come from and where they are heading.

However, some Spirits strive and in time, may have developed such a distinct personality that would cause its birth into a real Llithe or Whisperer. Such occurences are rare.

Please read the FAQ for more info on how to be and stay a Spirit.

Non-Playing Characters

The Promise Prince and Princess

images coming soon!

According to official Llithe reports, once, the Promise Prince of Whispers stole into the Thousand Gardens and kidnapped the Promise Princess of Llithe. The breach then led to the current convergence of Whisperers in the Thousand Gardens. The two then disappeared and is never heard of again. Whether or not the reports are true, Llithe and Whisperers alike have been questing to find the hidden Promise Prince and Princess in the hopes that when they return, so will peace in the Thousand Gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions

How the hell do you spell that thing?
^^; L L I T H E (Llithe), rhymes with 'Blythe'.

How do I get one?
Only through auctions, sorry!

How often are auctions held?
Auctions are held whenever a character is made, and a character is made whenever I have time. It's not often, but you can be assured your character will be gorgeous <3.

Are these RP required?
No, but it's such a waste if you don't RP right? (you can do that in the guild ). Generally it takes a few weeks for the character to grow. However, you will be required to have a Journal and update it periodically.

Can they breed?
Not at the moment ><. When they do, you get to combine themes and powers (if any!)

Are they exchangeable? Can I have more than one character?
Yes, they're owner exchangeable, just tell us about it please! And yes, you can have more than one, but please don't bite off more than you can chew! They all need equal love ;_;.

Can I have both a Spirit and Llithe/Whisperer?
Sorry, Spirits are strictly for characterless people! If you're a Spirit and obtained a character, you'll have to give up your Spirit!

What's the deal with Spirits?
They're free, anyone can apply as long as there are slots open. However, please remain active in RPing or else your character will be booted off after a long period of silence!

How does my Spirit become a real Llithe/Whisperer?
You will have to have RPed frequently and well enough, and if you're lucky, you will be offered the chance to have your Spirit changed. More details in that longed for PM!

Can I change my character's hair, theme, etc etc?
Sorry, they're not changeable.

Can I name my characters then?
Yes you can, but you can't change it! You also can't change their Matter names.

Do I have to use the bubble headshot whenever I want to RP?
You don't HAVE to, but it would establish the reputation of the character we feel!

Who does the artwork?
Luciole, please visit her site: Lucioleloong.com / Luciole @DA

Can I have the original artwork for my character?
They're only for sale to the owner, please contact Luciole for more info. You must have paypal.

Are you hiring?
We are currently having an interest in artists and official RPers, if you are interested, please PM this account with your experience etc. Unprofessional PMs will be ignored.

I have questions, comments, advice, flames etc!
All very welcome! Please PM me.
