Pae'il (c) Tiaphanu
Pae'il Information

History:
Telrunya has only recently (within the last two hundred years) become a peaceful island, floating high above the lands of Gaia. It is accessible only through certain portals scattered throughout Gaia. When the isle was originally discovered by Tiaphanu, it was inhabited by various wildlife including a variety of birds, fish, and game. The dominating inhabitants, however, were called Pae'il. Their race was dying out, and Tiaphanu was implored by the Guardians of Telrunya to help, which resulted in the current shop.

A note on the Guardians. The Guardians are something of a high council of Immortal Elders. They were the very first ten Pae'il to attain Elder status in the Beginning Years, though this elevation in status and form came with different abilities at the time. These Elders became more like Gods and Goddesses of Telrunya. They took it upon themselves to care for the inhabitants of the island and to guide them, but in doing so they changed what powers any future Elders could obtain; immortality and other god-like abilities were taken away. During the Battle of the Ages the Guardians de-tached themselves form the isle and now communicate with the Pae'il solely through their faery guides, though in a few documented desperate cases they have appeared in person.

Over the centuries, Pae'il had evolved into 2 seperate types; Angel and Demon. Their appearances altered to suit their alignment. Originally these were the only types thought to exist on Telrunya, but a recent discovery in an ancient text may indicate otherwise. The following was written long ago by an angelic Pae'il Elder:

Ancient Excerpt:
The Guardians have sent us mediators in hopes of healing the rift between us Angels and the Demons. But the Demons are a disgrace to our beautiful race, and we will not belittle ourselves to accept them as Pae'il. These 'mediators' can try all they wish, but all Angels know they are superior. The Guardians have made these creatures in our likeness, to an extent. They look more like our gu--

The text cuts off there. This excerpt, coupled with the recent merging with the Ancient City of the Balan Levain, gives us a good view of Telrunya's past, and what the land was once like.

- - * - -

Hundreds of years ago, Telrunya was a much larger island. Kippu River once flowed through the Ancient City of the Balan, rather than off the island. The City housed the majority of the Balan Levain, who were close friends and allies of the Pae'il, though some Balan lived in small villages all over the island. However, the Pae'il race was in trouble. The Angelic Pae suddenly began to think themselves higher and superior to their Demon counterparts. The Demons only conrtibuted to the growing rift between the species by seperating themselves completely from the Balan and the Angelic Pae and forming their own villages and towns.

Soon the battles began. The Balan Levain fled to their City and left the Pae'il territories. The Demons had the advantage in numbers, but the Angels were much more attuned to nature and had developed their magical abilities. Civil war engulfed all of Telrunya, with no solution in sight.

At some point during the Battle of the Ages, it seems the Guardians of the isle sent down a new type of Pae'il to try to mend the differences between the Originals. Unfortunately we have very little information on this third alignment, and it has yet to be seen. It is believed the type had died out sometime after their efforts to bring the Angels and Demons together had failed, but this is still unconfirmed.

Shortly after the failure of the third alignment, the Balan Levain appealed to the Guardians for a different kind of help. They realized that their once good and peaceful friends would never get along again, and the Balan were starting to fear for their own lives. The Guardians eventually came to a decision; they would spare the Balan by seperating their city from the island and allowing it to descend onto Gaia, and in doing so they would punish the Pae'il for their arrogance and hateful ways. This event in history was called the Great Sundering.

With their awesome powers the Guardians rent Telrunya and the City of the Balan apart. To punish the Pae'il, they did nothing to cushion the earth-shattering effects of the Sundering for the island, while the City itself felt little at the tearing. However, because the Balan had requested such an extreme and permanent action, the Guardians let the city fall to Gaia. The crash was cataclysmic, but no information on surviving Balan has been found. The Great Sundering caused not only a total change of landscape for the island, but also near total destruction of every structure built by the Pae'il. Many Pae were killed in the Sundering and many ancient documents and even technologies were lost. The surviving Angels and Demons were forced to get along in order to survive the following centuries.

- - * - -

Today's Pae'il remember nothing of their horrible past. When Tiaphanu agreed to help the Pae'il race flourish again, she was given only a small number of eggs to start with. Any other adult Pae'il died shortly before the new hatched. At the precise moment in time of the first hatching, the Fifth Age began. This was to be a better Age, one of peace between the Angels and the Demons, as it once had been. In order to preserve this peace, all historical documents pertaining to the Third Age of warfare and hate between the alignments had previously been locked away. Only recently has Tiaphanu been given permission from the Guardians to release this information.

A note on the Ages of Telrunya. The First Age was the Beginning of Time for the Pae'il race, and included the elevation of the first ten Elders and their limiting of future Elders' powers. The Second Age was more of an intellectual age and period of growth. This was when the Pae'il came fully into their magical powers and grew closer to nature. Many texts were published on studies of both the Demon and Angel types, as well as the extent of their powers, however most, if not all of these documents were lost in the Great Sundering. The Second Age also included the introduction of the Balan Levain, and the closeness shared between the two species. The Third Age marks the end of Pae'il growth and the beginning of alignment seperation. This was the worst Age for the Pae'il and Balan alike. The Ascension of the Guardians was the beginning of the end of this age, and the Sundering marks the end of the age. All information on the Balan Levain after this point is lost to the Pae'il. The Fourth Age, also known as the Wandering Years, was also a very hard time for the Pae'il. Almost all of their information from the Second Age was lost, their once beautiful cities were destroyed, the lands of Telrunya had shifted, and no form of society or heirarchy survived. Re-building took place eventually, but nothing was ever constructed to match the former glory of the ancient structures. The Fifth Age began at the exact moment of the first hatching of the 'new' Pae'il. In these Pae'il rested all the hopes of the Guardians that the past would not be repeated. So far, the Guardians are extremely pleased.

Also a note on the Balan Levain. While the societies of the Pae'il and the Balan were integrated, the Balan Levain were still somewhat aloof. All of their important documents were kept within their Ancient City, and privy only to their own race. After the Sundering, any information the Pae'il had on the Balan was lost.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -*- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Pae'il live on Telrunya Isle, the floating island in the clouds. Entering and leaving the Isle is done through Landing Circle. Dragnid Forest is a dangerous place, but Loka Nei Forest is safe, and the Fae Clearing in it gives off a slightly magical feel. Waplei'Ri Pond is a fantastic fishing spot, and while Pae'Kippu beach is quite sunny and relaxing, Chai'en beach is better for being completely alone. Neither of the mountains have really been explored.. but there seems to be a few caves. Also, Falassion House of Healing is a resting place on the eastern end of the Island, staffed by Water and Earth Fae.

March 14th, 2005: Okay! With our two newest additions (Thom got spoiled for being the littlest, and has his own journal) Elayne, and Gaidin, I figured I'd get them started quick, with a journal! Of course, for the purpose of this journal, my (Raikhas') entries will be in olive, as it's the standard color in here.
..........Elayne, who is still an egg at the moment, shall write in green, as so. I chose it because despite the coloring on her egg, she already seems to have an affinity with nature.
..........Gaidin shall likely write in orange, since yellow is too light to read well. This little toughy will probably take on Talaris' more firey passion, and some of his fathers' starry dreamland.
..........As was in Toga's and Talaris' journal- we three should be the only writers in this journal, unless someone finds it, which shouldn't normally happen. And thus, I'll end this entry.
Journal Entry

July 23rd, 2005: Well, now Elayne and Gaidin, have grown tons, and their personalities are coming out strongly, as I observed, so I thought I should write it here.
..........Elayne's affinity with nature has flourished, and she seems to simply delight in being outdoors. She loves plants, especially flowers, and has taken an interest in insects around the gardens.
..........Gaidin has simply been, well, angry, it seems. Insects anger him, and I'm starting to think being outside in the sunlight does as well. He likes to play rough, but can have a very big soft spot for his sister, helping her whenever she feels she needs it.
Journal Entry

August 15th, 2005:My first journal entry! Well, here goes:
I'm not really sure what to write in here.. Raikha gave me this journal here once she thought me and Gaidin were old enough. I like it.. I'd like to decorate the pages here with some pressed flowers, or.. pictures, or drawings of flowers I come up with, eventually. This looks like a great idea.. I'll definitely be using this journal more! Now, I'll let Gaidin write in here too.. after all, we do have to share this book!

..........Alright, here, I'm writing. Enjoy. ...Journals... Hmph.
Journal Entry

September 5th, 2005: Now THIS should be recorded! I, journal.. thing.. have found my powers! I'm gunna get my mother over here to show her.
..........Mom's here now. I left my journal open, here, so I thought I'd write a tad. She seems proud that I have such a c- Elayne?! Something's wron- I'll write later!

August 15th, 2005: Because of the weird events that went on today, I got some information from Elayne's guardian, and I'm going to log it here for reference:

12:26 pm
Elayne sat in the Faery clearing, oblivious to the little egg at the edge flapping his wings. She meditated, keeping a clear and empty head.

12:50 pm
Elayne shivered and whirled her head around. A sound. She stood and narrowed her eyes at a particular bush. Was it still.. yep? Still making a sound, and it was coming from behind that bush!

The egg flapped a bit more. Wait? It shook as nearby footsteps approached.

Bending, she pushed aside some greenery and picked up the egg, looking at it's shell. She looked around. "Hello? Anyone lose an egg out here?" Oh dear. An egg.. now what? She tapped the shell lightly, suddenly feeling dizzy. "Alright, c'mere little egg.. I must've got up way too fast.." she moved to sit back down in the middle of the clearing, ...and blacked out.

1:03 pm
Talaris stopped dead, pausing. "Elayne?!" she cried, poofing to her daughters side. "Elayne? Elayne?" She eyed the egg with narrowed, worried eyes. "What happened?!"

Elayne's body, however, lie still.

Phelan rolled a bit into a soft patch of grass. Wasn't there someone closer to me?

Gaidin's eyes widened and he appeared right after Talaris. After looking down at his fallen sister, he scooped up the egg. "This egg. She was.. holding it." he eyed his mother, waiting for an argument. Oh no, he Knew his sister, all right.

1:24 pm
Elayne flew up to a sitting position suddenly. "Oh. My. Gods." eyes wide, she glanced up at her mother and tilted her head, confused. "Mom... I.. " she looked around at Gaidin and reached for the egg.
Very confused now, he handed Phelan to Elayne.

Talaris watched her and kneeled down to help Elayne sit up.

Phelan shivered and flapped his wings a bit. Something is outside this shell!

Elayne nodded and looked at Talaris. "Mom, I know." she stared at the egg, then looked back at her mother "I don't know how, but when I touched him, suddenly I knew how he came to be here. It's like my pow.." she paused and looked around wildly, then back at Gaidin and her mother "Oh my gods.. Mom.. my powers changed!" She stared at the little egg again "Phelan. Phelan is what your name.. is." she narrowed her eyes at it, speaking slow, as if figuring things out "Co..mm..communic-cation?" she blinked "Of course!" she nodded curtly and eyed Talaris "This egg.. it's powers have something to do with communicating, and and it must be that it's powers are.. developing now, cause I touched it, and my powers changed, mom! I can't feel flowers anymore.. but.." she touched Talaris shoulder and her eyes flew open wide. Elayne gulped. "Yeah.. " she said woozily. "Yeah.. when I touch something.. or someone, I guess.. I know all about them.. like.. the basics, of how they came to be where they are right now.. how.. weird.."

I wish I knew what to do at this point. I'm really worried about Elayne. I've never had experience with any Pae'il's powers just.. changing, like hers did. I know she'll be okay, she's tough. But.. now what? Ugh.. I can't believe I'm looking to a book for advise. I'm gunna go find some sort of electrical.. medical device or something.
Journal Entry

October 12th, 2005: Alrighty, just logging some Pae'il action in here since it's been quite a while since, well, anything has been going on.

From page 353
Gaidin sat on Chai'en Beach, watching the lake. He sighed and flopped back, down into the sand, and instead gazed up at the clouds. Life was lonely. Now that he discovered his power, (which he had decided wasn't very useful in a land with such little technology used daily,) there was nothing more to life. He'd only begun to notice Jazz before Thom caught her interest, and other than that, he'd never really been 'in love' or even ever close to it. Today, like most days, he simply wandered around, ending up on this beach. He considered going to visit Toga, or bug Elayne, but his sister had become enthralled by her discovery of Phelan, and her own powers evolving. Nah, laying here was a fine idea.. nothing else to really do anyway, was there?

Elayne was as her brother had thought; sitting with Phelan in the Fae clearing. She caressed her egg and smiled as her peripheral vision noticed his wings flutter. But she kept reading, another book about animals. Her adoptive son Phelan, she'd noted, had paw prints on his shell. In preparation for her little bundle of joy to hatch into an animal-loving baby, she flipped through many books on every animal in the Pae'il world.

Phelan shivered in his egg and rocked the slightest bit. Mmmm.. not yet. The world was busy, mostly, and he was not quite ready to pop out of his shell yet. Although, he was eager to meet the comforting voice and soft touch person. She seemed warm and cuddly..
