The Luxium represents the upper half and primary seat of the Solunarian Capital and one of the dual-cities that comprises Solunarium Proper. Situated between the foot of the volcanic Mount Sorokyn and the wide River Vasta, this above-ground metropolis boasts five thriving districts beneath the shadow of the glorious Palatium Furiarum (The Blazing Palace) from which the Solar Court rules in splendour. This bustling metropolis is by far the most populous region in the realm and, along with its shadowy sister-city the Umbrium, houses upwards of eighty percent of the Solunarian population at any given time. During the reign of a Solar Court, every major government agency in the kingdom is headquartered in the Luxium, with the notable exception of The Silver Sentinels, the covert intelligence agency run by the House of Phaedryn-Sol’Aværys.

Being a master Elementalist himself, Palæmon was happily distracted when it came to teaching Æros the Craft. And furthermore, it was a strange (both uncomfortable and fascinating) experience to play passenger in his own body while his cousin figured things out. He himself had been a master of the magic for quite some time now so to watch his own hands wield it so clumsily was…a little novel, but genuinely funny to him. At least, it was funny until Æros caused his physical form strain by overloading his far weaker rune– but, to Æros’ credit, he always allowed Palæmon to intercede and stop him in such cases.

The older Sælyan cousin knew of the other's desire to, as quickly as he could, reach a competency level that would be enough for him to attune to elements beyond the base four. And, given their strange circumstances and Æros’ relative newness to the rune, this prospect was…a daunting task, but Sælyans were nothing if not stubborn creatures. Plus, Palæmon seemed to have lost access to that which he had previously attuned to once Æros had overtaken him for an extended period of time. This vexed him greatly, but that also wasn't Æros’ fault and petty anger would benefit neither of them. And, in his mind, if they were to remedy this, he wanted both of them to be able to attune.

As such, that meant that the two of them better start putting in concentrated effort into pushing Æros’ just barely above novice skills with the rune. And now, home from their rather fascinating new job, the two of them had slunk away and sequestered themselves within the relative solemnity of Palæmon's gardens to work on exactly that. With the moonborn's bias to water, the deceased patrician agreed to work on his sculpting skills utilizing that– the former's Aidolon even appeared more than willing to help.

Say goodnight, to the weakness that you hide behind
Leaving the lies, leaving the fear inside
Never once were you truly alive
So scream all you like, no one can hear you


Soul laid bare,
