Oh, hello there! Who might you be? ...A traveler? Ah! You must have heard about
the Blessed - that's why you came, isn't it? Goodness, and I didn't even introduce
myself yet; how rude of me. My name is Eirian. I'm a professor here in Payon,
though I didn't always live in Payon. I came to study here when I first heard the
rumor about the Blessed.

It's been fascinating to watch and care for the Blessed, to say the least. What
has been especially interesting in my opinion, however, is the fact that they
choose who they wish to be bonded with.

What? You want a chance to bond with a Blessed? Well, certainly then! Why don't
you come along and see if any of them take a liking to you?

The Legend of the Blessed

At the end of all things, when Payon most needed a hero, Bongun, brave and resolute, and Munak,
the woman he loved more than life itself, stood side by side. So when invaders came to raid for temple treasures
and the people of the village found themselves outnumbered and afraid, it was Bongun who encouraged
them to stand their ground and hold their defenses, and Munak who gathered them together time and again
to send them back into the fight.

It was they who saved the village and they who gave their lives.
The villagers found them lying hand-in-hand, matching expressions of serenity on their faces as they died.

Their loss was not in vain.

From their sacrifice came the first of the Blessed, creatures of pure spirit and resourcefulness.
Though the first to appear in the Temple halls did not speak, they soon made their talents clear.
They helped to rebuild Payon’s gardens and healed its trees. They found where the water ran clean
and pointed out which plots of earth would still serve to grow food so that the survivors could eat.
They helped to heal the wounded when the priests and priestesses were too tired to carry on.

And they learned. Child-like in appearance, the Temple priesthood soon realized that they could not simply
use the Blessed for the strength of their gifts. They had been created for and entrusted to the people of Payon
and so the people should share in the responsibility. Those deemed most worthy were invited behind closed
Temple doors and introduced more personally to the Blessed. Of those, the most willing were asked to care
for the Blessed as their own. To teach them the ways of the mortal world and raise them as if they were family.

As they learned, the Blessed grew through many different forms of existence. They took on different traits,
no longer looking like the rest of their kindred, but developing appearances and personalities of their own.
They became true companions, capable of traveling with those who chose to quest. They developed wants
and desires separate from their human friends. They began to live lives of their own, influenced not only
by all they’d seen and heard but by the strength of the two who created the new race. In their honor,
these more evolved among the Blessed were called Munaks and Bonguns.

And still the Blessed grew. They made bonds, not only with their guardians, but with each other and soon enough,
the Blessed displayed another ability: they could make Blessed children of their own. Each pair, once decided,
gave up a bit of their souls to infuse an engraved tablet with spirit and energy. In time, a child of that effort
rose from the stone, a wholly new entity in need of teaching and care.

Word spread, as it will, and soon humans from outside Payon had come to see the Blessed.
Many among them hoped that they would be gifted Blessed of their own, and as the population of Payon
began to swell, and the Blessed produced more children to accommodate their numbers, some got their wishes.
No longer was the process restricted to those the priests and priestesses knew well.
Now anyone who formed a bond with one of the Blessed might be named a guardian.

However, not all of the new caretakers had altruistic plans in mind. Those who aspired to control the Blessed
or to use them for dark purposes and gains soon discovered that, just as the Blessed learned from the good
in a human’s heart, they learned from the evil as well. Those who strayed away from the healing, helpful paths
soon became as corrupted as their guardians. They began to scheme and plot and fight among themselves.

Which led, inevitably, to a war between the factions.
The Accursed, as they came to be called, hunted down as many of the Blessed as they could.
Humans known to favor their light-hearted kindred were likewise trapped, hunted, and killed. The Blessed,
determined to protect their families and friends, fought back as desperately as they could, and soon the whole
of Payon was engulfed in war again. The battles raged until no one survived. No one save the miserable remnants
of the Accursed, who slowly lost their minds and the ability to speak, reduced to wandering the ruins of Payon
and attacking whatever poor soul happened to stumble in.

Or so that is how the legend goes…

The Tale of Valencia

Valencia had served in the temple for many years.
She was a paragon of devotion to those who chanced to hear her tale. Those who met her,
few though they were, considered themselves even more greatly blessed. After all, she had risen
to the ranks of High Priestess, something to which many aspired and few achieved.

And if the priestess was less than warm and welcoming to those who sought her out, no one could truly
fault her. Her struggle and studies, they whispered to one another, must certainly have been exhausting.
Assuredly she had earned the right to be left alone as she chose. She’d had no companions on
the long
and difficult path to her goal, so why should she entertain the eager and curious now?

For her part, Valencia was content to let the people believe her a noble, sacrificing soul. She knew that
the truth of her story was harder, that once upon a time she had been willing to tutor those desiring to learn
and had seen her generosity abused. So now, let them think her distant and cold and uninterested.
It was easier to live apart and above them than to have her heart broken time and again.

That was the thought that was in her mind as she studied the words on the scroll yet again.


Save their souls
Dive deep
And redeem the world
Fail and all is darkness, all is at an end



Better that she solve the riddle alone than trust the future of the temple and the village to another.
Into the dungeon, that was where she had to go.
There, she could “dive deep” and find the answers to their salvation.

Or so she thought.

She did not expect the crippling wave of vertigo that struck her as she stepped off the last stair.
She did not expect the lantern she carried to flicker and go dark, plunging into suffocating blackness.
In those first few moments, when the whispering began, she knew a moment of pure fear. Had she been led
down here to the haunted halls simply to have the tormented spirits tear her limb from limb?

Somehow, in her terror as she reeled in the pitch black and managed not to collapse to her knees,
she found the stairway once again and climbed toward the surface. It seemed to take an eternity.
She could hardly breathe and certainly not call for help with her voice stuck in her throat.
Every step climbed exhausted and exalted her at the same time.
One step closer to safety and freedom;one step closer to an admission that she’d failed.

And then, as abruptly as the darkness fell, there was daylight and an escape. Knees and knuckles ragged,
she staggered toward her salvation. Hand braced against rough stone, she leaned and caught her breath.
And looked out on a village she had seen only in the most ancient drawings. Payon, yes, but not Payon.
Payon as it had been generations before. Impossible and impossible to ignore.

A breeze twined around her, blown up from the dungeons below, and another whisper rode it,
this one intelligible:

Save their souls
Redeem the world
What once was is once more


And with that, it all began.

Home to the Blessed, this village in the Kingdom of Rune-Midgard has recently become
a very popular travel destination as more and more citizens of other lands wish to receive
a Blessed of their own.

Some of Payon's most prominent citizens are:


Eirian -------------- Valencia --------------- Reiyan -------------- Tarina --------------- Vyassa ------------- Rongol --

User ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser ImageUser Image

Eirian :: A Professor from a distant city, she came to Payon to research the Blessed.
She takes her work incredibly seriously. Her life seems to revolve around her studies and care
of the Blessed. Eirian is a friendly and usually patient young woman, however, if you're
someone who works for her, beware - she will not take kindly to slacking off. You may find
yourself being pelted in the head by some of her magic tomes.

Valencia :: A High Priestess from "the future" (relative to the present time of this shop),
she was sent back in time by a powerful force to save the Blessed from the fate that claimed
them once ago. She told the others that she had just traveled from Prontera to work with the
Blessed, however, Eirian knows the truth. Valencia's current stay in "the past" does not really
phase her for she didn't leave many close ties. Rather, she enjoys life much more in Payon,
where she has been able to make a fresh start.

Reiyan :: The ever-comical Minstrel. He came to Payon in order to write songs about the
blessed and works under Eirian. He also takes care of the Cute Pets. Sadly Reiyan is often
easily distracted or slightly clueless much of the time. Therefore he dislikes magic tomes
thrown at his head due to first-hand experience working with Eirian.

Tarina :: A skilled Blacksmith who came to Payon to hone her skills with hopes of one
day, being a Mastersmith. (And out of sheer curiosity to observe the Blessed) She helps Eirian
find tablets to be imbued with the souls, and has made good friends with the other. She is often
quite snarky and sarcastic, especially towards Reiyan and likes to tease him for being rainless.

Vyassa :: Driven to Payon in pursuit of greater wealth, this Assassin Cross funds the
research of Professor Eirian. Vyassa expects that in due time the money expended will return
to her—tenfold. However, as she oversees the professor's work and in turn learns more about
the Blessed, the once-corrupt alignment of her heart is up for debate. She herself may never
admit her metamorphosis, and she still kills for as high a price as ever, but the day may come
when she sides with the Blessed.

Rongol :: A somewhat mysterious Assassin Cross. Rongol isn't overly friendly, but he
does have a softer side if you can manage to befriend him. He hails from the desert, and came
to Payon like many others to see and observe the Blessed. Almost obnoxiously quiet, he can
be found throughout the city, darting from one shadow to the next as a silent form of protection
for all. If there's trouble, he'll be there sorting it out.

I've been researching for a while now, and this is what I managed to gather on the
Blessed. The process of watching them grow and form is incredible - I never
thought I'd see anything like it. These are a couple of my notes on what I have
on their growth.

User Image

User Image
Stage 1 - The Tablet
Estimated duration of stage: 1 week

The most primitive form of the species is that of a blessed Tablet imbued with a bit of the original
spirit of either Munak or Bongun passed down through the generations. The Tablet is protected
by a magical flame of incubative nature that does not burn. The Blessed within is unable to see
what goes on in the world, but it can already start learning from the emotions it picks up around it.

User Image
Stage 2 - The Whiff
Estimated duration of stage: 1-3 weeks

As the encompassing flame smolders, the Whiff starts to leave the Tablet. It does not have
a substantial physical presence yet and exists as an ethereal being. However, the Whiff can begin
to see and explore the world now, and relies heavily on its companion for guidance and development.
Its magical abilities also start to manifest at this stage.

User Image
Stage 3 - The Spirit
Estimated duration of stage: 4-8 weeks

After enough exposure to the physical world, the Whiff will solidify into a humanoid shape.
Distinguishing facial characteristics and hair begin to appear as the Spirit's personality becomes defined.
This is the stage at which the Blessed finds its own method of seeing and thinking about life.
The amount of time a Blessed remains as a Spirit is strongly correlated to how much of a guiding
influence its companion exerts. As this is rather similar to the adolescent period in human youths,
the time in which it takes a Spirit to "find itself" can vary greatly between different ones.

User ImageUser Image
Stage 4 - The Munak / Bongun

This is the final stage in the development of the Blessed. The Spirit has now matured into
an adult being - dubbed a Munak if female, and a Bongun if male. Each Blessed is unique in face, hair, and dress.
The Stage 4 Blessed is also in full control of its magical abilities and proves to be a vital asset and friend
to its companion and the community. Blessed may also start to pair up now in bonds closer than
that of friendship with other grown Blessed, and from those unions can come the creation of
"their children" - another generation of Blessed.

User Image

Though it doesn't seem to end there. I thought that that was the last stage a
Blessed could go through, but there's a legend floating about that the Blessed can
still evolve. I was so shocked to learn that they could progress further - not
only physically, but mentally as well.
Unfortunately, I don't have much about these last two stages, as they appear to be extremely rare.

User Image

User Image
Stage 5 - The Enlightened
Some say that if a Blessed becomes extremely knowledgable in the way of the humans, it will
become "enlightened" and broaden its range of understanding - gaining the ability to experience
the more intricate of human ethos, logos, and pathos.

However, I have yet to even see an Enlightened Blessed, never mind witness its
growth. Though I do know it's possible - lately, some of the Munak and Bongun
seem to be becoming more and more knowledgeable.

User Image
Stage 6 - The Incarnation
And then there are those who say yet another form of Blessed exists - one that has been so
fully immersed in the world and workings of humans that is has essentially turned into one.
The Incantations are supposedly Blessed who, through only the most detailed interaction with humans,
have triggered within them some trait of the original soul of Munak or Bongun that laid within.
That part, once awakend, would have overcome the Blessed, turning it into some version of Munak
or Bongun reborn.

But I'm not quite sure about this stage yet. Even after I asked the other citizens
of Payon, not many people could tell me much about it. It seems almost like a
rumor more than anything, but I have a feeling that it isn't...

Hello~ I'm Reiyan the manager of the Cute Pets and the sole NPC who may
hand out Taming Items in this thread at any time!

Many creatures (both good and bad) populate this magical world of the past; a
few even have the ability to become Cute Pets for Blesseds and/or humans.
However, they are not available to just anyone who would like one.

To obtain a certain species of a Cute Pet, you must gather both a Taming Item for
that species as well as a Pet Incubator; only combined will the two reward you
with a new friendly companion.

Pet Incubators will be on sale from time to time for 10k each, but Taming
Items will be harder to get as these items are only available to those who
participate in special events, or are extremely lucky. Should you win games and
competitions, you will be rewarded with Taming Items from me, and I can also
give the items out randomly.

So what can you do if you do not have the right taming item for the Cute Pet you
would like? Well, trade with a fellow user! But beware, you may only trade taming
items for other taming items, and nothing else. But what if another user does not
have or is not willing to trade the item you want? Well, then you can always trade
any 2 taming items you have with me for 1 item of your choice.

For information on who owns which item, please go to the guild thread to see a complete list.

User Image

Here are the Cute Pets available at this time:

Species - Taming Item

Poring - Unripe Apple
Poporing - Bitter Herb
Drops - Orange Juice
Lunatic - Rainbow Carrot
Deviruchi - Contract in Shadow
Spore - Dew Laden Moss
Poison Spore - Deadly Noxious Herb

There are currently 0 Pet Incubators in stock.

1. -RotB- Vyassa
2. Excited Apathy
3. demon_pachabel
4. Naotsuki
5. Moriko Omori

User Image

If you have both your Item and Incubator ready, please fill out the following form and send it to -RotB- Reiyan.

Username:
Blessed (if any):
Taming Item:
Cute Pet Name:


You will then receive your Taming Item back upon a lovely display, and after a little time incubating,
a Cute Pet shall appear in its place.

This is where any events/flatsales that are happening will be listed, along with when they are
scheduled. If there are no flatsales or events going on, please do not ask us for a Blessed. If you
really want one and there are none for sale, check the colorists' custom, bribe, or pet trade slots
located in the guild.

We will occasionally hold events where Blessed with a certain theme will be flatsaled, auctioned,
raffled, or awarded in in-thread games.

User Image

Flatsales
Flatsale Blessed are 10k each.
The flatsales can range from speed FS, to dice-rolling, to games. More specific details will be
given prior to the sales.

Upcoming Flatsales:
None at the moment. TWEWY event in the future!

Raffles
Raffle tickets are 100g each unless otherwise stated. Unless the raffle is special in some
way, you are allowed to buy an unlimited amount of tickets.

Upcoming Raffles:
None planned right now
Previews:

Auctions
The starting bid for an auction is 15k unless otherwise stated. An auction is one of the
only ways to get a cosplay Blessed (the other is a bribe), so custom/cosplay auctions will
likely be relatively rare. We usually auction off special pets, whether it be because they're
editted, one of the first of their kind, or have unique traits. All auctions will have a snipe-guard.
For items, we go by Tektek.

Upcoming Auctions: None yet

If you can't wait for a sale, or you have an ideal Blessed you want to get, a custom may be
what you're looking for. Before you order a custom however, please make sure that the colorist
you want has open slot by clicking [guild link here]. If no slots are open, please do not ask for a
custom.

You have the choice of starting your Blessed from the tablet stage, or to skip ahead to the 4th
stage. Either way, if you participate in roleplays actively, your custom Blessed may have a
chance to become a Stage 5 or 6 Blessed (Neither of the special stages are directly available
through customs as they must be earned).

Types of Customs

Custom: You have a say in basically every matter (hair, colors, and designs). However,
aside from the hair, you may not have any lineart edits. Also, the designs cannot be too intricate.
Especially intricate designs will cost an extra 10k-20k. If you would like a price quote,
please feel free to PM Eirian.
Minor Edit Custom: Similar to a regular custom, but you can request items (eg. necklace)
or minor changes to the clothing. Small things - such as small wings - may be allowed (though
please ask before you order). The base price will be the same as the normal custom price - the
only difference is that each lineart edit you request will cost you (please look at the prices
below to get a better idea).
Major Edit Custom: Includes cosplays. These will only be obtainable via bribes and
auctions, and will not be offered through customs.

Prices

Custom: 400k (Starts from tablet) or 300k (Stage 4 only)
Minor Edit Custom: 400k base (Starts from tablet) or 300k base (Stage 4 only)
Small wings: + 100k
Jewelry: + 10k-50k depending on complexity
Clothing: + 10k-50k depending on complexity
Hats/Hair Accessories: + 10k-50k depending on complexity
Major Edit Custom: Bribe/auction only

If you're not sure how complicated your edits are, please PM this mule with your custom form.
We will look over it/relay it to the colorist and then get back to you with a price quote.

So your Blessed want to make a family, do they? That be arranged. The breeding
process isn't complicated at all - on the contrary, all it involves is two Blessed
putting a little of their spirits into a tablet. Since that's all it takes, same-sex
couples are able to have children. However, breeding is not cheap. It costs 20k
for Eirian to gather the empty tablets that are needed.

You will get 1-4 tablets per breeding. If you actively roleplay and hang
around the thread, the amount of tablets you can get from a breeding increases
to 2-5. The number of tablets you will receive will be randomized by one of
the owners of the Blessed who are breeding. This is done by randomizing a number
between 1-250.

1-124 = 1 Tablet (2 if you RP)
125-199 = 2 Tablets (3 if you RP)
200-249 = 3 Tablets (4 if you RP)
250 = 4 Tablets (5 if you RP)

If you are are not happy with the result you got, the other owner may randomize
a number as well. However, the second number is the one that stays (so if the
first owner rolls a two and is not satisfied, and the second owner rolls a one, you
will only receive one tablet from the breeding).

Your Blessed must be at least Stage 4 to be able to breed.

User Image

Please note that your Blessed can only breed three times. Also, if you get a slot one month,
you can not enter your couple in the next, but you can enter them again in the one after that.

month, we'll be holding a RP quest for those who have been active around the
shop. Depending on the outcome of the RP, a maximum of 1 Bongun and 1 Munak
will be granted the ability to become a stage 5 Blessed.

Q. Can Stage 5 and 6 Blessed breed with Stage 4 Blessed?
A. Yes they can. The Blessed 'breed' by imbuing a little of their own spirits
into the tablets that will result in their 'children'.

Q. Can I work in this shop?
A. We are currently hiring colorists. If you're interested, please follow the link in the first post.

Q. What are Munaks and Bonguns from?
A. They're from RO - Ragnarok Online.

Q. Do I have to know about RO to join the shop?
A. Of course not! While it may give you a little background infomation about
some things, you don't need any previous knowledge of RO to join and enjoy this shop.

Q. How do you pronounce 'Blessed'? And when you say it, are you referring to a single
Munak/Bongun, or more than one?

A. The last part of 'Blessed' is stressed - so 'Bless-ED'. It is both singular and plural.

Q. How tall are Stage 4 Blessed?
A. Compared to an average adult person, they reach around the torso/chest area.
Think average preteen height.

Q. Munak, Bonguns, and Blessed - how are these terms used?
A. This species of creature is known as the Blessed, and the female adults are Munaks
while the male adults are Bonguns (like how Sheep break down to Ewes and Rams).

Q. How can I tell what gender my Blessed is?
A. You can tell by the orientation of the cert. If the text is to the left of your Blessed,
it will grow to be a Bongun; if the text is to the right of your Blessed, it will grow as a Munak.

Q. Can I co-own a Blessed with someone else?
A. No, a Blessed doesn't have more than one guardian, silly! However, a guardian can
have more than one Blessed.

Q. I have a question that isn't on here?
A. Feel free to ask in the thread or - if a more private matter - PM Eirian.

Q. Are we allowed to RP even if we don't have a Blessed?
A. Yes you are, actually. The Blessed 'bond' with a certain human so, even if you don't
have a Blessed, you can still RP as the said human. You are also still eligible at receiving a
Cute Pet (familiar) even if you don't have a Blessed.

Q. Can I have an uncert/larger version of my Blessed??
A. Sure. Just PM Eirian or post in the thread.

You want to spread the word about the Blessed a little? Well, that certainly sounds
fine with me! Who knows, maybe someone else might hear what you have to say,
and come to try befriending a Blessed themselves.

Oh, why don't you visit these places while you're at it? I travelled around a lot
before settling here in Payon, and these places especially caught my eye. Go on
and visit when you have the time, won't you?
