This template was adapted from the Coppermind at https://coppermind.net/wiki/Template:Art.

The '''art''' template is used to assign metadata to pieces of visual art, both official and fan-made. For book covers, use {{t|cover}} instead.

__TOC__

=== Template ===
[[:Category: Character images]] and [[:Category: Art]] are the two most common types, so they are prefilled here; delete the one (or both) that's not applicable.
<pre class=mw-code>

|+ {{t|Art}} Parameters




|-
! scope="col" style="font-weight: bold;" | Parameter
! scope="col" style="font-weight: bold;" | Description
! scope="col" style="font-weight: bold;" | Examples




|- style="background:#FFDEAD;"
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>#artist</code> <br><small>or</small><br> <code>artist</code>
| Use <code>#artist</code> to automatically link to the artist's Archive page (<small>under <code>Abidan Archive Wiki:Artists</code></small>) by just supplying their name. If necessary, <code>artist</code> can be used to manually link to their page.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
These two are equivalent:<br>
<code><nowiki>|#artist=Petar Penev</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|artist=[[Abidan Archive Wiki:Artists/Petar Penev|Petar Penev]]</nowiki></code>




|- style="background:#FFDEAD;"
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>#source</code> <br><small>or</small><br> <code>source</code>
| Use this to link to a public webpage where the image can be found, preferably the artist's website or social media.<br>
<small>'''Note:''' <code>#source</code> automatically generates a link to ArtStation, Behance, Bluesky, DeviantArt, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, and Tumblr; just provide the URL.
If the source is not one of these websites (e.g. it's the artist's personal website), use <code>source</code> to manually link to it.</small><br>
If the file is a cropped/traced version of another piece of art already uploaded to the Archive, that file can be used as the source.<br>
When naming the source, use just the website's name (e.g. '''Facebook''' instead of '''Facebook post''', or '''17th Shard''' instead of '''17th Shard gallery''').
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
<code><nowiki>|#source=https://www.instagram.com/p/B8je6gfDuOi/</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|source=[https://www.dandossantos.com/gallery/#/lightweaver/ Dan dos Santos' Website]</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|source=[[:File: Roshar.png]]</nowiki></code>




|-
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>modified</code>
| When the image has been changed from the original, either by cropping or coloring or tracing into a vector graphic, this parameter shoud link to the editor's Archive user page.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
<code><nowiki>|modified=[[:User: Fbstj]]</nowiki></code>




|-
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>tracer</code>
| When the image is a traced vector graphic this parameter should link to the tracer's Archive user page.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
<code><nowiki>|tracer=[[:User:WeiryWriter]]</nowiki></code>




|-
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>licensed</code>
| Use this parameter to indicate that the copyright owner (usually the artist) of the image has given us permission to upload this specific image. This is mostly useful when we don't want to set up an artist page for the artist (just yet).<br>
'''Note:''' This is best used when we see an image we want, acquire permission to use it, but don't want to go bother the artist with the Google Form. If the same artist keeps producing fanart, we should reconsider and send them the form instead.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
<code><nowiki>|licensed=[[:User:Argent]]</nowiki></code>




|-
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>book</code>
| Note: This feature currently does not work as of 4/25/26.
| Use this to associate the art piece with a specific book. This is mostly used when uploading interior art from the book in question, but can also be used for fanart of specific scenes, characters that only appear in one book, and other book-specific artwork.<br>
'''Note:''' The value here is forwarded to the {{t|book tag}} template, which then forwards it to {{t|b}}. This means the original value must be valid for those templates as well. See their pages for details.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
All of these are equivalent:<br>
<code><nowiki>|book=c1</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|book=us</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|book=twok</nowiki></code>




|-
| style="text-align: center;" | <code>series</code>
| Note: This feature currently does not work as of 4/25.
| Use this to associate the art piece with a book series. '''Adds the image to that series' category''', so it's advisable to add it, even if the image only concerns one book in a series.<br>
'''Note:''' The value here is forwarded to the {{t|series tag}} template, which means it must be one of the valid values for that template. See the {{t|series tag}} page for more details.
| style="white-space: nowrap;" |
All of these are equivalent:<br>
<code><nowiki>|series=sa</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|series=stormlight</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|series=stormlight archive</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>|series=the stormlight archive</nowiki></code>




{{docs/row/required
|param=type
|desc=This parameter can be used to assign a category tag to the art piece. See the [[#Type Tags]] section below for more details.
|eg=
<code><nowiki>|type={{cat tag|Art}}</nowiki></code>
}}




{{docs/row/optional
|param= official
|desc= Use this to indicate that the piece of art is "official" in some way - e.g. it appears on the cover or inside a published book.
|eg =
<code><nowiki>|official=y</nowiki></code>
}}




{{docs/row/optional
|param= alt
|desc= Use this to provide alt text for images
|eg =
<code><nowiki>|alt=An old logo for the 17th Shard fansite</nowiki></code>
}}

|}

=== Type Tags ===
Note: This feature is currently nonfunctional as of 4/25.
The <code>type</code> parameter provides a row for [[:category: link macros|tags]] which categorize the file in different ways:
* {{t|cat tag|character images}} is placed on any image depicting a [[:category: characters|character]]
* {{t|cat tag|interior art}} is used to indicate when a file is from [[:Category:interior art|inside one of the published books]]
* {{t|cat tag|art}} is used on [[:Category:art|artist depictions]] of scenes and other more complex images
* {{t|cat tag|maps}} categorize any [[:Category:maps|cartographic images]]
* {{t|cat tag|symbols}} & {{t|cat tag|diagrams}} indicate [[:Category:symbols|symbols]] & [[:Category:diagrams|diagrams]]
* {{t|cat tag|chapter icons}} collect all the images used in books with [[:Category:Chapter icons|icons in the chapter headings]]

It also allows for any other kind of tagging for images when it makes sense

;Plot Summary

Simon at 8 years old and his parents stop in [[Latari Forest]] to inspect their cart. Simon sees a strange figure in the darkness that he thinks is a ghost, and his mother tells him the story of the [[Indirial|Forest Demon]], a creature that wears a cloak to pretend to be a man and takes people to the center of the forest to hang them on a [[Ragnarus|bloody tree]]. Simon's parents get into an argument about Edina teaching Simon to be superstitious and Kalman says the strange object was summoned by a Traveler and they need to leave before the Traveler comes back before Edina convinces him otherwise. Two people, a large man with scars and a woman carrying a summoned light, make their way to Simon's family. After telling Simon's family that they should leave, the two begin to walk away before Edina mentions the Forest Demon's bloody tree. The woman is very surprised and upset by Edina's description of the Forest Demon and the man summons a tendril of mist that goes into Edina's mouth and causes her body to start moving in unnatural ways. The woman summons a creature that flies towards Simon, but Kalman tackles it while Simon runs away. The wasp catches Kalman on fire and he seems to be dead until the woman moves to attack Simon and he pushes her to the ground before dying. Indirial shows up and summons his [[Dragon Fang|sword]] and Indirial kills the pair of Travelers in a brief fight. He moves Simon's unconscious mother into the cart and says her mind may never recover. He tells Simon to take care of his mother and to come back to Latari Forest when he's older so he can learn to protect himself against Travelers. Indirial says he'll help Simon in Myria, his home town, for a little while but will have to leave soon. Simon resolves to take care of his mother and keep his family safe.

;Plot Summary

Eight years later, Simon has to hide his sword practice from his mother for her own safety and push her into her bed until she calms down when she wakes up. Edina hits Simon with her cane and questions his identity as she drinks wine. She refuses Simon's offer of dinner before going back to bed. Leah shows up at Simon's doorway with a basket of food and other supplies and says that he doesn't have to do any extra work for it, frustrating Simon. Leah tells Simon that the Mayor of Myria and his advisors were speaking to some strangers outside the walls, and they both go to the village's gate to wait for the village officials to return..

Outside the walls, Cormac, a Traveler of [[Endross]], is frustrated at his lack of authority in the mission to collect the annual sacrifice and with the negotiation between Sergeant Yakir and the mayor. Yakir threatens to use force to take people for the sacrifice if the village doesn't cooperate. The mayor refuses to hand anyone over without knowing what is going to happen to them, and Cormac begins to open a Gate to Endross. After a discussion with Yakir about the deadline of sunset, Cormac summons vines from Endross and kills the Mayor and his six advisors. Yakir tells Cormac to capture those he can and kill any villagers that resist.

Simon and Leah arrive at the town gate, where Alin already is. The guard at the gate is Alin's friend Jaron, who tells Simon and Leah that the mayor went to meet with soldiers. Leah asks what colors the soldiers were wearing and finds out that the soldiers are under Malachi based on the colors being purple and brown. Leah says that Malachi may be doing something stupid and says she needs to speak to Chaim, who didn't go with the Mayor. Simon, Leah, and Alin walk through alleys in an attempt to stay safe when they hear a crash and screams from the village gate. Simon runs out to get a clear view of the gate and almost gets killed by an arrow as he sees that the gate was broken down entirely. Soldiers on horses are riding in and Jaron has been killed. The three go back in between the huts and Leah says to get the villagers out through the back gate. without resisting. Alin agrees, but Simon instead runs to try to save his mother. When Simon reaches his house, he grabs his sword and wakes up his mother. Simon pushes his mother out the door and Leah comes up to them carrying a bloody sword. Simon picks up his mother and runs with Leah into the smoke until they stop to hide behind a broken cart. They can see Myria's north gate, where a soldier is riding on circles and watching for people. Simon and Leah agree to wait for the soldier to leave, but four soldiers come out of the houses pulling six collared and injured children behind them. Simon, his mother, and Leah hide under the cart. Leah tells Simon to run for the gate when he gets a chance and goes to cut the rope holding the children. Simon almost runs out to try to help the children, but his mother's confused ramblings convince him to focus on his mother instead. Simon picks up his mother and heads towards the gate, resolving to keep his mother safe.

Leah, being chased by two soldiers, ran to the gate that the soldiers had come through. Eventually she stopped running and instead walked confidently towards Yakir and Cormac. When one of the chasing soldiers cut her off, she used [[Lirial]] to trap him and scare away his horse. She defeated some Endross summons without missing a beat, and summoned a crown from [[Ragnarus]] to prove her identity to the sergeant. He and all the other soldiers bowed to her. Yakir explained that they were at Myria to collect the midsummer sacrifice, and Leah instructed him to take her to [[Bel Calem]] as a sacrifice.

;Plot Summary
Cormac collected nine villagers, not including Leah, and explained to Yakir where they would need to go to open an [[Endross]] Gate.

Simon ran through the land North of Myria and fell to his knees when he saw Alin. They discussed the attack and moved to a cave, but soldiers soon showed up. Cormac began to give a speech and showed the prisoners, but a Myrian villager tried to free them. Cormac tortured the villager to death, and the soldiers began to leave. Simon attacked Cormac from the back in an attempt to free Leah, but was pushed back by Cormac. Alin then attacked Cormac using the golden light of [[Elysia]].

;Plot Summary
Cormac fell to the ground, heavily injured. He prepared to attack. Meanwhile, Yakir asked Alin to go to Malachi peacefully, which he agreed to. Cormac killed Yakir, but the soldiers assumed it was Alin and became hostile until Cormac pushed through them. Simon moved to get his mother out of the cave and was almost stopped by one of Cormac's summoned serpents until it attacked and killed Orlina instead. The serpent then went to Alin, but turned to Simon and grabbed his mother. Alin was only then able to call the gold light, causing the snake to writhe and hit Simon before dying. Alin was able to get through most of Cormac's attacks until the other soldiers joined in, putting him in a difficult spot. Travelers from [[Enosh]] then arrived, and they were able to hold back Cormac and the soldiers until Cormac's own gate killed him. They released the last Damascan soldier, who left, and Simon saw that his mother was dead.

The Enosh Travelers introduced themselves as Gilad and Miram, and Alin told them he was not an enemy of Enosh. Miram offered their help, and asked Alin to demonstrate his powers, which he did. The Travelers bowed to him. Simon then noticed the prisoners were gone and said so to Alin, who ordered a search. When they were unable to find the prisoners, Miram said they were taken through a Territory, and although Simon didn't agree, Alin backed them up. The Travelers asked him to return to Enosh with them and told him about their prophecy, and Alin agreed. Alin told Simon that he should stay behind to help rebuild, and Simon begrudgingly agreed. Simon retrieved his mother, then watched Alin and the Travelers leave.

Back when Leah and the villagers disappeared through one of her portals, Leah prompts one of the soldiers to take them towards [[Bel Calem]] through [[Lirial]].

;46 days until midsummer.

Kai watched Simon in [[Latari Forest]] and considered taking Simon in. Simon found food and rested in a hut, then yelled to Kai that he wouldn't leave. He laid down to sleep, but then saw Kai and Caela. Simon told him his story, and Kai asked why he should bring Simon to [[Valinhall]]. Simon explained that he wasn't sure Alin would rescue the prisoners, and he wanted to do what he could. Kai did not think Simon's answer was good, but brought him to Valinhall anyways.

Simon arrived in Valinhall. Kai explained that the entire territory is a continuous house and brought Simon to the bath. Simon got in the bath and realized he was healing quickly. As he tried to get out of the bath, a creature pulled him back in. He fought the imp off and swam up, but four imps returned and hurt him. He managed to escape the pool just before a larger creature reached him and he returned to the entry room. After he got dressed, a Nye tried to choke him, but he grabbed his sword and defeated the Nye just in time. Two more Nye appeared, so Simon ran and opened the armory door, almost getting hit by a dart triggered when he opened the door. Kai then told him not to go down the stairs to [[Benson]] and explained how Valinhall tests its inhabitants and the way time flows more quickly. He brought Simon to the garden and they went to see Chaka. Kai defeated him, but Simon was not able to and went without food or water. Kai brought Simon back to the bath, where his hand was healed.

;Plot Summary
Alin tried to open a Gate to [[Elysia]] under the instruction of Grandmaster Naraka, and managed to succeed for the first time. The Grandmaster told him not to close the Gate, explaining that he could only open one per day. She then explained that Elysia exists to keep the other Territories in line, and that he would need to go through the Gate to reach Elysia. He did so, and the Gate closed behind him.

Kai took Simon to Kai's room, where Simon asked Kai about the dolls and then went to sleep. He was interrupted by a whisper from one of the dolls, and then was unable to get any real rest. He saw Kai kill a Nye in his sleep. Once morning came, Kai rose and greeted every doll by name and then greeted Simon. They went to the garden and Simon once again failed to defeat Chaka. Simon got frustrated and attacked Chaka, who decided his performance was barely good enough. He ate and drank, and Kai said it was time to begin his training.

In a few days, Simon had gotten used to Valinhall, and started to enjoy his training. Simon asked Kai about doing flashy Traveler things, and Kai told him to go see Benson. Benson had him fight the suits of armor, and he defeated several of them until Borus brought him down. He returned to Kai, who told him he hadn't learned what he was supposed to, to try again the next day, and to get a spare sword.

;Plot Summary
Simon went to the [[Valinhall]] armory and managed to get a sword without getting hurt from any traps. He tried to open the door at the back of the armory, but it didn't open. He then challenged the suits of armor again, and failed even more quickly. After a month of failing to defeat them, he asked Kai for guidance and demanded to know what he would earn from Benson. Kai apologized for giving Simon too much guidance, and said he would go through Valinhall and wait for Simon to catch up with him. He stopped Simon from chasing after him and went to the library. Simon returned to Kai's room and considered how to improve quickly enough, trying to destroy the room in his frustration until he was attacked by a Nye. Once he defeated the Nye, he followed the shadow down a trap door. He came to a door and was nearly killed by the Nye guards until the Eldest Nye appeared and brought him down a hallway.

In [[Elysia]], Alin met an armored dog which he thought was attacking but actually just tackled and licked him. Rhalia came up and explained some of how Travelling works then lead him to the gates of Elysia. He went in and Rhalia warned him just in time about a box that shot arrows at him. She told him some about the virtues of Elysia, and then took him to the gold section of the city.

He asked Simon to make a deal where Simon would spend his life restoring the power of Valinhall and in exchange would get a Valinhall power and a chance to earn a [[Dragon's Fang]]. Simon took the deal after some deliberation. He was given the Nye essence and breathed it in, understanding its power by defeating the Nye guards. The Nye told him how Valinhall has internal rather than external powers, then told him to go challenge Benson.

After a brief conversation, Simon lost consciousness and later woke up in the garden. He continued to talk with Denner and Hariman, who explained that the prisoners from Myria were taken for the sacrifice, as well as how the sacrifice was from [[Ragnarus]] and used to keep a destructive force locked away. He told Simon that the sacrifice was in only 5 days, and Simon asked how he could earn a Dragon's Fang. He was told he would have to spend seven nights in [[Orgrith Cave]] as a graduation ceremony.

;Plot Summary
Denner took Simon to the corner of [[Latari Forest]] and stopped at the stone forest surrounding [[Orgrith Cave]]. He told Simon that he wasn't the swordsman who rescued him years ago, then left so that Simon could survive his graduation. He approached the cave and came upon a circle of carts and wagons, with a family arguing about going into the cave to rescue Lycus and Andra. He asked what happened and a woman told him her babies were in the cave, so he walked in.

Kai watched the family from a distance and talked to Otoku. Otoku told him he should've stopped the sacrifice years ago. Denner appeared and said they could pull Simon out, but Kai refused. He told Otoku that he would not leave Simon alone, but would not let him know he was there.

Simon did not face any immediate danger in Orgrith Cave, and realized he did not know any information about the children in the cave. He soon came upon a creature which he killed easily. He went deeper into the cave and found an enormous cavern which contained many dangerous looking creatures. He heard a frightened cry from a girl, and dashed after it with the steel and essence. He found the children and saved them from a monster. He had the children follow him to the entrance, but realized it was blocked by a huge worm. He found a small crevice for them to stay in and talked with them, worried that he wouldn't be able to save them.

;Plot Summary
Simon and the children left their shelter and managed to defeat some fish monsters eating. They got close to the entrance and Simon went ahead to check on it after drawing essence and steel. He saw that the tunnel had become wider then had the children follow him. While they were walking through the tunnel, Andra screamed as a joke, frightening Simon and Lycus. They then heard a grinding noise from further in. Simon realized the tunnel was now sloping down and thought it must have changed, wondering if it still led outside. They eventually came to a ball shaped chamber with thousands of huge worms occasionally moving and a crack leading outside. Simon decided they would find a different way out, but they heard their mother call out for them and he realized they would have to go this way. Each child wanted him to bring the other first, and he decided to bring Lycus first because Andra would do better alone. Lycus made a small noise and woke up one of the worms, but they managed to escape unnoticed and get out of the cave. Lycus went to his mother, and Simon moved to return for Andra before being frozen by fear. He was unfrozen when he heard Andra's scream.

;Plot Summary
Simon ran through the cave to reach Andra, and found her injured but conscious. A creature approached them from the tunnel, so he took Andra through the cavern of worms. He moved quickly but came across an awake worm, which roared to wake up the rest of the worms. He tried to get through the cavern before his powers ran out, but kept getting hit by the worms. When one got a good grip on his leg, he thought he would die and reached deeply into Valinhall, hearing Benson and getting an immense amount of steel. He saw Andra held by a worm and limped towards it until it leaped at him and he threw it aside. He painfully walked all the way to the exit, fighting off worms as he went, and was able to climb them to the exit. The Agnos family tearfully reunited, and Simon passed out trying to tell them to leave him in the cave while Olissa treated his wounds.

Simon woke up some time later in a wagon, hearing Kai talk to a doll. Kai told him he used some Valinhall pool water to heal his leg and then had him draw on steel. Simon drew deeply and saw the chains moving up his arm. Kai explained that the point of the test was to force him to draw deeply enough on Valinhall to become connected to the territory, not succeeding. Kai gave him Azura and guided him through opening a Gate to Valinhall, then told Simon that Azura belonged to him. Kai explained that the house chose Simon to have Azura and that it comes with the bedroom and the dolls. He explained that the chains covering Simon's body would result in Incarnation, although not what that entails. Kai told Simon that the children he saved were Damascan, that there was at least one soldier with the group, and that they had been moving towards [[Myria]] while Simon was asleep. Finally, Kai told Simon that there were only nine days until the midsummer sacrifice. Kai then went into Valinhall, saying that he would have to get his own sword back now that he wasn't borrowing Azura.

Leah had breakfast with Malachi as one of the Myrian prisoners was sacrificed. Leah expressed discomfort with hearing the screams while eating and Malachi asked if she was softened by her time in Myria, which Leah knew was true but did not admit. Malachi had Leah tell him about Alin, who she said would come to Bel Calem for revenge. Leah lied about having seen other sacrifices, and expressed confusion when he mentioned the Tree. She tried to deflect, but Malachi said they should both go to inspect it, and Leah agreed.

;Plot Summary
Simon ran out of steel and let go of Azura, returning it to Valinhall. He felt lightheaded and wondered if it was because of the chains or an aftereffect of the steel. The doll Kai left behind spoke to him once but did not continue when he asked. Olissa walked in while he was shaking the doll to get her to talk. Olissa checked on his leg and was surprised to see it healed. She asked if he was an [[Asphodel]] Traveler, then asked if Malachi had sent him to them. He was surprised and worried about that, but Olissa was called out before he continue questioning. He considered leaving, but then decided to stay in case the incoming visitors were hostile to the Agnos family. He went out and saw the incoming rider, Ansher, greet Erastes as a captain. The two soldiers had a brief discussion.

Simon began sneaking away until he heard Chaim, a captive, cry out. He considered his options to rescue them and eventually decided to wait and collect information. He spoke to Erastes and Caius and found out that the Myrians were going to be sold as slaves and the group was hunting down a few escapees. Simon then told Erastes he was from Myria and began fighting.

Leah and Malachi looked at the Hanging Tree and Boez's dead body. Malachi explained to Leah that each Overlord has a tree which must be fed with the sacrifices and that they keep the Incarnations sealed. Malachi exclaimed in anger at Leah and Leah threatened him to make him back down. Leah admitted to not knowing why her father chooses to use the sacrifices, but then the Tree grabbed at a guard and Malachi cut off his hand to prevent it from taking him. They cleared out and Leah pondered the necessity of the sacrifices.

Alin prepared to die before noticing that Rhalia had pulled his mind out of his body to talk, freezing them in time. Alin convinced her to give him the green power from Elysia, despite him not having earned it. Alin used a green shield to protect himself and then watched helpless as Malachi prepared one more attack.

Simon grabbed the mask that Malachi used and went into Valinhall.

Leah watched the aftermath of the battle, having seen it all unfold through a scrying glass. As Alin headed towards her, she dismissed the glass and changed out of her court clothes. Alin came in as she finished and they talked for a bit. Alin tried to use his abilities to get them out, but he was spent. Simon walked out and suspiciously asked about the finery until Alin opened a gate to Elysia, which all three Traveled through. Narakan Travelers from the other side began using a gatecrawler to reopen it.

A giant came up to Alin and agreed to hold off the Travelers once they got through. The three Traveled through Elysia to exit outside Bel Calem.

Simon and the others came out of Elysia riding white bears. They rode toward a group of Malachi's cavalry and Simon leapt off the bear and ran ahead to confront them.

Eithan returned to the Arelius home and talked with the Oracle Sage. She convinced him to advance to Overlord, which he did easily.

Charity guided Mercy through the fifth page of the Book of Eternal Night to learn the Dream of Darkness technique.

Yerin explored the Frozen Blade School, reminiscing about when she was there with the Sword Sage. She went to talk with the Winter Sage and they discussed the state of her techniques and training schedule. The Sage resolved to teach her how to read and explained how authority works. Yerin’s blood shadow broke out briefly and she argued with the Sage about whether to continue feeding it.

'''Seliethin''' is a creature of [[Lirial]].

==Appearance and Personality==

Seliethin is hairless (other than a few tufts of fur) and ape-like. He has six eyes, arranged in sets of 3 placed on top of one another. One set is blue, one is white, and one is green. His hands have three fingers. He is seen by Leah as "bluish"{{book ref|tcv|8}} but described in an ancient fable as white.{{book ref|tgc|tcf}}

Seliethin seems to be tricksteresque, somewhat selfish, and arrogant, based on his dishonest dealings with Leah{{book ref|tcv|8}} and the trick question he presented to Korriphus.{{book ref|tgc|tcf}} Leah dislikes and distrusts him, even before the dealings in question. Seliethin is graceful and familiar with courtly manners. {{book ref|tcv|8}}

==History==

Seliethin features in a story passed down to Lirial Travelers since the dawn of [[Elysia]], more than 1000 years before the reign of [[Zakareth VI]]. In this story, Seliethin doubted the wisdom of a powerful Lirial Traveler named [[Korriphus]] and presented him with a riddle. Korriphus attempted to solve the riddle for the rest of his life, and Seliethin revealed at the end that the answer was that pursuing knowledge at all costs is a mistake. The veracity of this story is unknown.{{book ref|tgc|tcf}}

He has a prior relationship with [[Leah]], who called on him to assist her with keeping her surveillance crystal unseen by [[Enosh|Enoshan]] Lirial Travelers while she spied on the Enoshan Grandmasters. However, he took far more from Leah's Source than she intended, and took it forcefully without listening to her conditions. He still fulfilled his end of the bargain and retrieved the crystal, possibly fearing reprisal or because he does not care for outright betrayal.{{book ref|tcv|8}}

==Abilities==

Seliethin has the ability to shake the ground of Lirial and create a booming voice out of nowhere as well as additional secret abilities. These abilities were sufficient to impress Leah, a powerful Traveler in her own right. He has substantial physical strength.{{book ref|tcv|8}} The limitations of his abilities are unknown.

Lirial

2026-10-19T07:10:06Z

Kidpen:

{{TG Navbox}}

'''Lirial''' is a Territory on [[Amalgam]]. It is the secondary Territory of [[Leah|Queen Leah]], which she accesses using a bracelet with a milky white crystal on her hand.

The Lirial banner is two crescent moons bracketing a full moon with a starburst in the center.

==Geography and Ecology==
Lirial experiences a perpetual night, with 12 moons moving in a complicated pattern, quickly changing position and phase. This includes an orange, silver-blue, red, and purple moon, although the colors may depend on the time and date. Understanding the pattern of the moons is key for Lirial Travelers.

===Geography===
Much of Lirial is made up of gray plains and crystalline landscapes.

==Powers==
In general, Lirial is not a destructive Territory. Most of its powers relate to information gathering, protection, and preservation.{{book ref|hob|2}}

Every Lirial Traveler has a Source, which they funnel energy into from their body. This Source is called on for power when they want to summon Lirial crystal, use an artifact, or call a creature to their aid.

===Lirial Crystal===
Lirial crystal can be called into the Unnamed World and used to seal or defend. It can, when placed correctly, block attacks, but its main use is sealing. When it is called, it does not pierce, instead encasing the victim. If they are entirely covered, their life will be sustained by the crystal. It is effectively indestructible by mundane means. It can also be called up as large spires from the ground which can pierce enemies. However, Leah's ability to summon so much crystal so frequently is exceptional among Lirial travelers, as most cannot use it effectively in combat.{{Wow ref|1329}} The crystal is milk-white and opaque.

===Artifacts===
Lirial artifacts can be acquired by raiding the ancient tombs of the Daniri, which are protected by dangerous traps but hold many treasures. For instance, Leah has a scrying lens, and an even rarer artifact which can make a difference in battle is a star-net. These artifacts are stored in a sanctum which cannot be summoned from in Lirial itself.

Known Lirial artifacts:

*A crystal ball owned by Leah, which performs a high number of complex calculations and gives its user specific instructions to complete a goal.{{book ref|hob|2}}

Summoning or using a Lirial artifact requires exact knowledge of its location in Lirial. If an artifact moves even across the room from where a Traveler left it, it will be completely inaccessible.{{book ref|hob|2}}

There are some terrible weapons buried in Lirial{{Wow ref|574}}, although their exact nature is unknown.

===Creatures===
Source energy is used as a form of currency with the creatures of Lirial. One such creature we have seen took energy from Leah, and in return helped her, however, he took more than Leah was prepared to give. Travelers must be careful with this. The creature's name was [[Seliethin]], and he was a bluish ape with six eyes.

== Trivia ==
* Lirial is one the few Territory names not reminiscent of real-life mythological terminology, instead just being named to sound cool and ethereal because it is the moon Territory.{{Wow ref|1171}}

==Notes==

Valinhall

2026-10-18T22:23:53Z

Kidpen: Updated to new version

{{TG Navbox}}{{Quote
|quote = ...there is one rule in this house, above all others: what you want, you must earn.
|speaker = Kai
|source = {{book ref|hob|8}}
}}

'''Valinhall''' is the [[Territories|Territory]] of the protagonist [[Simon]] in the Traveler's Gate Trilogy.

Referred to as the "House of Blades", it is the newest of the known Territories in [[Amalgam]], having been discovered and founded by [[Valin]] some 60 years before the events in Traveler's Gate.

All Valinhall Travelers are armed with absurdly long, indestructible swords known as Dragon's Fangs which act as the Traveler's primary weapon and key to entering Valinhall.

==Construction==
Valinhall is comprised of a single massive house, with no true outside to speak of. Most of the doors between rooms are locked, except to those who prove themselves worthy.

The entryway is where all Valinhall Gates open to. It is large and contains a variety of furniture as well as mirrors on the walls. There are racks for the Dragon Fangs on the wall. Connected to the entryway is a single hallway which has doors to each full Traveler's bedroom and the bath.

The bath room is reminiscent of a cave, with a smooth stone floor. It has a large mirror taking up most of one of the walls. In the center of the room is the bath itself, very large and containing heated water and flower-scented soap.{{book ref|hob|6}}

Deep in the house, there is a room used as containment for horrific spectral fish that fly through the air.{{wow ref|591}}

The house has toilets in the form of bottomless pits in bathrooms that are in some way haunted.{{wow ref|584}}

As Valinhall is a new territory, it is still in the process of growing and being formed.{{wow ref|490}} The edges of the House have unstable and dangerous rooms.{{wow ref|571}}

==Ecology==

===The Nye===
The Nye are sapient creatures made up only of their black cloaks, chains, and a shadowy essence. They are central to the house. They clean up after residents, make repairs, and generally manage the goings-on. They also regularly strangle residents with chains as a method of testing their abilities. The Nye have a leader in the form of the [[Eldest]] who was there when the Territory was formed.

The Nye vary in their abilities. At least one Nye is an expert tracker, capable of finding a target with essentially no background information. They are capable of leaving the house briefly, but rarely do so and never for long. The residents theorize they are incapable of doing so due to being thoroughly bound to the house.{{book ref|hob|18}}

The Nye are seemingly immortal but do have children. They were part of the Fragment which formed the base of Valinhall when Valin found it.{{wow ref|619}}

The Nye are social in a similar manner to humans. Young Nye play a variety of games similar to human children's games, while some of the older children take risks by competing to retrieve pieces from the edge of the house. Older Nye will spend their free time with each other in social gatherings and often place bets with each other.{{wow ref|571}}

===The Bath===
A variety of strange and monstrous creatures live within the bath. Foremost is the imps, small humanoid creatures. They have red eyes, their skin is similar to moss-covered tree bark, and they have metallic spikes on their head and sharp teeth. The imps pull down anyone who leaves the bath after staying long enough, trying to drown them and bring them to the worse creatures in the deep. Staying long enough after being attacked by imps will attract large sea serpents.{{book ref|hob|6}} Most of the creatures and plants in the bath are unknown, but it has a fully-fledged ecosystem which also helps to clean and drain it.{{wow ref|606}}

===General===
There are large beetles that feed on rusty metal in the house, kept to a manageable population by the Nye.{{wow ref|596}}

==Powers==
Valinhall Travelers receive internal powers that they can call upon in the Unnamed World. To receive a power, the Traveler has to defeat a specific trial.
