The Taeir Rainforest. In an unknown location on an unknown world.
Split in twain by the mighty River Aleuire, it provides sanctuary to the two tribes of the magical aelflyt- known simply as Northern and Southern.
Northern, for the aelflyt who thrive in the midnight hours.
Southern, for the bright sun-loving aelflyt.
Yet the aelflyt did not always live amongst the paradise of this haven of tranquility and peace... Read on, and hear their story.

Welcome to the abode of the Aelflyt- the Taeir Rainforest! A place of tropical heat and humid air, of shaded canopies of leafy green, of brightly feathered birds that fill the air with bright melodies... And a place where no human has ever been before. Untouched by mankind; beautiful and pristine. In other words- a paradise.

Please read all the rules before posting, and check through all the thread before asking questions. Please enjoy your stay! ^__^

Oh, no, you can't escape the rules, can you? Please abide by them if you do not wish to face unpleasant fates. Including possible grey/blacklistings.

- Do not steal any of the art or concepts. Theft WILL result in blacklistings and a banning from this thread. Other repercussions may also follow close behind...
- If you wish to put your Aelflyt into your sig, you MUST save it to your own server first. You may direct link if you are putting it in your journal. However, when your Aelflyt is fully grown you must save it to your own server whether it is in your journal, sig, or someplace else entirely.
- Do not start fights in this thread. If you wish to fight, do it elsewhere or you'll frighten all the Aelflyt away.
- No begging! It's weird, it's strange... if you want to do it, take it elsewhere with your fights.
- No harassment! That's even worse than begging, so don't do it.
- No chatspeak! It's hard to understand and makes you look illiterate and crazy.
- Keep all content in this thread at a PG-13 level. Want to see higher, go read a fantasy book.
- Have fun! If you're not having fun, then watch out... ninja

Rules of roleplay
- There are no people in the world the Aelflyt are currently living in! So please don't RP people being around, unless it is just for out-of-character fun. ^^
- If you are doing 'proper' RPing, please keep any of your OOC talk in double brackets to avoid confusion.
- If you are just being silly/having fun, you may RP other pets in the thread in an OOC-ish fashion, as long as at least one Aelflyt is included in the RP as well.
- No RPing Aelflyt as godly characters with extraordinary supernatural powers and such is allowed! Which means no jumping 30 feet high, or smashing trees with bare paws, or eating boulders for breakfast! (Unfortunately) Aelflyt are mortal, you know...
- You may not RP your Aelflyt doing anything that would have a major effect on the Aelflyt population- your Aelflyt may not poison the waters of the streams, or set fires that burn the whole of the Taeir down, for example.
- No killing of other Aelflyt is allowed, be it on purpose or by accident! o_O;
- Your characters may not cause harm to others' characters without their consent.

---

Other things to know:

Oh, no- you can't escape these, either! Though they are generally of much lesser significance than the rules. Starting with the more important ones, though...

- The Aelflyt are not RP-required. However, if you buy one and never return to the thread, it may grow extremely slowly and you may be dead by the time it is fully grown.
- The plural of Aelflyt is Aelflyt. There's no such thing as 'Aelflyts'. (Or 'Llirins' or 'Itahryns', for that matter, but anyway... XD)
- 'Aelflyt' is pronounced as ae-ell-flyt. Like 'ale-flit' but making the 'ale' part have two syllables instead of the usual one.
- 'Taeir' is pronounced as tay-er.
- 'Aleuire' is pronounced as al-lew-ee-ree.

Note: Because I wrote this so long ago, now, it may possibly be changed... the main thing to be noted is just that they come from a different world. XD

Once upon a time, there was a world of ancient magic: Ariuris. Ariuris, the homeworld of the aelflyt. And homeworld to many races of humans.
Long ago, the aelflyt had lived peacefully in the rainforests of Ariuris with humans ignorant to their existence, and they to theirs. But that all changed when war broke out between two human nations.
When the humans discovered the aelflyt.
At first, the aelflyt were a simple curiosity, to be brought home by adventurous explorers as pretty exotic creatures from the rainforests. To be traded, sold, for large sums of gold.
Until it was discovered that they were magical.
Before the discovery of the aelflyt, magic had just been another weapon in the struggle between the two nations. But when spellcasters realised the amazing properties of the crystals embedded in all aelflyt foreheads, the magic became devastating. Power channelled through an aelflyt crystal could be amplified twice- or sometimes, even thrice- to cause immense damage on an unprecendented scale.
Entire cities fell through the use of aelflyt crystals.
Entire tribes of aelflyt were wiped out by hunters sent to retrieve their crystals to aid the war effort.

To be continued... ninja
User Image
The ways in which an aelflyt may be obtained are wide and varied. They can be obtained through conventional means such as flatsales, auctions, raffles, customs, pet trades, contests... but who knows what else? I certainly don't. XD

Information and rules for flatsales and auctions is in the sales post. Info/rules for raffles and contests will be typed up when- or if- they occur. To read about how custom aelflyt can be obtained, check out the customs post. As for pet trades... well, there aren't too many pets I really want at the moment. But you never know... XD

Pet trades are currently: Closed. Let me get the shop up and running first, won't you? XD

However, if you have the authority to offer the following and do so for a pet trade, then I will definitely accept! Maybe even when pet trades are supposed to be closed... ninja Though I doubt anyone would offer such, at least at the moment. XD

Crystal - The equivalent of an aelflyt 'egg'. The colour of the flame inside helps to indicate what affinity the aelflyt will have when it 'hatches'. Crystals spend most of their time floating aimlessly around... though some have been known to follow certain Aelflyt about in quite an uncanny fashion. This stage should last for about a week.

Child - When newly 'hatched' from its crystal, the aelflyt will usually spend a lot of time sleeping. But after a few days or so, this fatigue will fade and the aelflyt will be more active! This stage should last for about 2 weeks.

Adult - Your Aelflyt is now fully grown! It should be bigger, more active and can breed of course... XD This stage lasts forever- perhaps. ninja

Cert explanations

The aelflyt cert contains many hidden mysteries... read on to learn more about them! XD

User Image

1. This symbol denotes the generation of the aelflyt. The current symbol on the cert is the symbol for the first generation.
2. This symbol denotes the tribe of the aelflyt. A moon stands for the nocturnal Northern tribe, and a sun stands for the diurnal Southern tribe.
3. The colour of the flowers indicates the aelflyt's gender. Pink flowers for female aelflyt and blue flowers for male aelflyt.
4. The name of the aelflyt goes in the space after the 'Name:' bit. It should be quite straightforward.
5. Another indicator of the aelflyt's tribe. Though this time it will actually say 'Northern' or 'Southern' in the space provided.
6. The aelflyt's affinity goes in the space provided. More info on aelflyt affinities can be found in the 'Aelflyt info' post.
7. The aelflyt's talent goes in the space provided. More info on aelflyt talents can also be found in the 'Aelflyt info' post.
8. The username of the person 'owning' the aelflyt goes in the space provided.

Also, the cert used to explain all this is the brighter cert of the Southern aelflyt. The Northern aelflyt have darker cert backgrounds- essentially the same background as the Southern cert, but darker.
Aelflyt info

The aelflyt are generally peaceful creatures, though they may retaliate if provoked. They are vegetarians, which is partly because of their nature. Aelflyt thrive on berries, fruit and other edible plants. They generally live in little 'nests' of plant leaves and moss on the forest floor. These are concealed from view by the natural vegetation, as it is mostly the long leaves of rainforest plants that provide ceilings and 'walls' for these nests! Magical charms woven and knotted from dried plant leaves (such as those on the aelflyt certs) and hung from the 'roofs' of aelflyt nests are believed to help to protect against minor magical or physical threats- such as dangerous animals. Though they do seem to work, since no aelflyt seem to have disappeared from their nests since their arrival in the Taeir!

The winged elder races of the Aelflyt have been known to make their homes in the branches of the great rainforest trees.

The Aelflyt Tribes

The two tribes of aelflyt that inhabit the Taeir are the Northern and Southern tribes. The Northern tribe consists of all the nocturnal aelflyt, and Southern is the tribe of the diurnal aelflyt. The nests of the Northern Aelflyt are located in the northern part of the Taeir, to the west of a stream that flows from the north-west to the south-east. The Southern Aelflyt 'settlement' is located in the southern Taeir, to the east of a stream that flows from south to north. Flowing from the west to the east, the great river Aleuire separates the two tribes, though by propelling watercraft with magic it is possible for the aelflyt to cross over. However, it does take quite a bit of magic and the combined efforts of multiple aelflyt to achieve, so it is not done for frivolous purposes. If the two tribes wish to meet to discuss matters, they will usually cross to the small island in the middle of the Aleuire in the eastern part of the Taeir, and meet at around pre-dawn or twilight to make the conditions more favourable for both parties.

Aelflyt Affinites

The five main aelflyt Affinites are Air, Water, Earth, Fire and Light. Though since the Light Affinity involves the manipulation of light, it also has much to do with darkness since that is just the absence of light. XD Aelflyt can manipulate the 'element' that is their Affinity to some degree, though the elder races are more adept at it. The possibility exists for aelflyt to have other Affinities, but it is most unusual for such to occur.

Aelflyt Talents

All aelflyt are blessed- or perhaps cursed?- with a Talent. For 'normal' aelflyt, this is usually manifest in the enhancement of physical abilities. For example, the Talents 'Swift speed' and 'Sharp mind'. An aelflyt's Talent is usually the most exceptional attribute that it is known for, though it is still possible for an aelflyt with a 'Sharp mind' to also be quite fast at running! But still not as fast as one whose talent is 'Swift speed', of course. XD

However, the Talents of the elder races involve the enhancement of the magical side of their abilities. For example, the Talents 'Quick spell' or 'Illusion weave'.

Since there is such a wide variety of aelflyt Talents, there would be no point in compiling a list of them- their names should hopefully be self-explanatory, anyway. After all, the array of aelflyt Talents possible is only limited to the amount of words that can be used to describe them with!
Aelflyt sales

Flatsale rules:
- You must wait until I post 'GO!' in large green letters before you can post to get an aelflyt.
- First come first served, unless it is stated otherwise.
- Only one aelflyt per person per flatsale! You may get an aelflyt for someone else, but that means you cannot get one for yourself.
- You must make it clear which aelflyt you want when you post! Stating the number is fine, or the description.
- You may NOT edit your posts. If you post for one that is already taken, you must make another post to try for another.

Flatsale Aelflyt starting from the egg or child stage will cost a sealed envelope. Adult Aelflyt will cost 3k. Please send all trades to Keilyna!

If you do not send the trade within 24 hours and do not give any reasonable explanation for it, your Aelflyt may be given to someone else.

The flatsale is over! Congrats to Andanielle, Dragon_Bluey, SilverPelt, Kisoni and Harperking! ^__^
Aelflyt breedings

Coming soon! Wait till there are more adult aelflyt running about the thread. XD
