All prizes have been distributed!
From her seriously sunny demeanor to her hilarious Novus character doodles, Muirgen is a wonderfully positive force of Novus! Even though she's recently been travelling, she's still a constant face around the community. Like all of our wonderful members, Novus would not be the same without her ♥
Maerys is a new face to the world of Novus, but that doesn't mean she hasn't already made an impact and explored so much. Kealie has a beautiful eloquence in her writing and it shines wonderfully through Maerys, who dutifully looks for the positive even in the tough times that have befallen Novus.
From THANK YOU KINDLY, WOLF — "Other concerns did not appeal to her: she did not stop to consider that this was no longer her obligation, she was a dancer, a mere dancer, she ought to have paused to still the flames, to calm the children, but tragedy had struck.
And what did a warrior do, besides act? What language did she speak, besides tragedy?"
Boudika came in like a tornado in this thread! While unable to prevent the tragedy as the Court's grain stash went up in flames (no one would have been able to prevent it), she was quick to react and apprehend one of the criminals involved. The last line of this quote was especially chilling in all the best ways.
These two are an amazing duo - equally strong and powerful, a dedicated two who will make wonderful parents to a guaranteed-to-be-feisty little @Charlotte! We look forward to seeing their relationship continue to blossom and to see the path they forge for their new family.
Even in the particularly negative times that have befallen Novus, it's a breath of fresh air to see that there is still some sense of semi-normalcy to some residents of Novus. As RB said, it's especially nice to see the effect of and opinion on politics from an outside point of view!

QUOTE of the Season
Quote must come from a post made during Winter (04/01-05/31)!
Current nominations include...
“It sounds like an accusation, like the crack of a gavel passing judgement, like the silent, poignant pointing of a finger. It sounds like familiarity."
- @Teiran in torment
“Other concerns did not appeal to her: she did not stop to consider that this was no longer her obligation, she was a dancer, a mere dancer, she ought to have paused to still the flames, to calm the children, but tragedy had struck.
And what did a warrior do, besides act? What language did she speak, besides tragedy? “
- @Boudika in thank you kindly, wolf
“Mistakes are lessons that can haunt us for the remainder of our lives if we so choose, but we cannot let them define us. Like stones we can hold them and build with them, forming a new life, learning from our previous transgressions"
- @Somnus in a violet’s fragrance
"She's a steeple with no foundation, an altar with no religion, a ship trapped in a sand dune. She is a hundred different things that do not make sense anymore, nothing does."
- @Isra in sculptures of open-armed sadness
