Welcome, to the realm of Aduthulë. Aduthulë are soul-type beings that embody a specific alignment. They always come in pairs, as twins. Aduthulë means 'double soul', so Thulë would refer to a single twin. Each Thulë is a paradox of it's other half. When together, they are complete. Their world is somewhat mysterious, and the Aduthulë have lots to teach, if you will listen. Are you willing to open your mind and delve into the Aduthulë world? You may find more than what you are looking for...

One day some time ago Shadow was strolling on her favorite beach. The rising sun of early morning had lit up a patch of sand, and something caught Shadow’s eye. She knelt down, sifting through the sand, trying to uncover the peculiar item. After clearing all the sand, she came to find that the item was a leather-bound journal. It was old and worn; as Shadow flipped through she noticed that quite a few pages were missing. She also noted that it was in a language entirely different than her own. She took the book home and called me over to help.

I was just as intrigued with the artifact as Shadow was, and we decided to attempt deciphering it. It took many months, but Shadow and I had finally figured it out! It wasn’t written in a different language; it was written in code. After getting the code down, we immediately worked on translating the journal, page by page. Shadow and I were amazed to find that the journal talked about an ancient legend having to do with souls and alignments. The journal goes on to speak about a hidden temple, full of ‘relics’. Apparently, these ‘relics’ held souls inside them. We know for a fact that they are twins, but we’re not sure as to whether the relics are their beginning…or their end.

The journal contains two volumes. The second volume is only partly translated; Shadow and I have had to put that on hold for certain reasons. But what we have found so far is that the mysterious author had awoken the souls from their relic. He talks about interacting with them, and even caring for them. There are parts discussing fights between the souls, as if they had been feuding for centuries. We had gotten too deep into this; Shadow and I were determined to find the temple of which the book mentioned. Yes, it was hidden, but there were a few clues that we worked off of. More months of thinking and searching, until finally, one day, we found it.

-Story by Razih- </center>

Long ago when the earth was new, there was no neutral alignment. Everything on the earth, from the smallest pebble to the tallest oak, was either good or evil. Those choosing the side of light were beautiful beings, full of life and good will. But those who rebelled against good journeyed down the path of darkness, where their choice lay set it stone for the rest of their lives.

Most spirits were restless at this time, and two were the most vicious in bickering. First, there was the light spirit, Rao’tsu. She traveled through nature’s beauty, caressing the trees and dancing among the clouds. Her form was a white mist in the shape of a woman. She wore long robes and had eyes as green as new leaves. She had all of her creatures aligned in light. That was before her twin, Seburo, betrayed her.

Seburo, the spirit of darkness, was also good at a time. But his younger sister Rao'tsu was more powerful than he, and jealousy brewed inside him. Eventually it was too much for him to bear, and the jealousy morphed into darkness which consumed him. He loved this new power, and rose up to create the element of evil. His new form was black smoke in the shape of a large man in long, blood-colored robes. Unfortunately, other creatures followed his lead, making his power even stronger. Seburo and Rao’tsu began a war that would not end for centuries.

One day a young woman was wandering the hills, where the two spirits were debating over which element would eventually prevail. She was strangely not aligned, having no truthful leader to worship. Those already in alignment have an aura around them. Those in good have a white aura, those in evil have black. This girl had no aura at all. Seeing the two spirits, the girl sat down in, frozen in awe, to watch the event, wondering which would conquer over the other.

After much bickering between the two, Rao'tsu finally noticed the girl. She made a deal with Seburo. Whomever could persuade the girl to their side would be the more powerful, and she would be the deciding factor.

Now, neither one of the siblings wanted to lose, so they put all of their effort in trying to obtain the girl. The poor thing had no idea what was going on, really, so she simply listened and leaned toward no side. After awhile, Seburo became frustrated, and he grabbed the girl. Rao'tsu, seing this, was appalled. She would not be loosing this battle, so she as well took hold of the maiden. Seburo began to pull frantically, as did Rao’tsu. They glared at each other, taking no notice of the girl at all. Suddenly, the spirits gasped, backing away and dropping the young woman. She began to glow, her right half bright white, and her left half, wispy black.

Staring at her body in shock, the girl gulped down her fears, watching her body separate into two beings. When all was done, there were now two of the girl, looking exactly alike, yet somewhat different as well. The one nearest Seburo was like him; dark and shadowed in every aspect. The soul on Rao'tsu's side was light and pure, and more beautiful than the other. Te'oma was the name of the maiden, and she was the beginning of all Aduthulë.

<center>_-\'| Rules |'/-_</center>

1. Please read all of the rules and information on this page. It may seem like alot, but you'll be better off, trust me. And if you are really interested in adopting a pair of Aduluthë, it shouldn't be much trouble.

2. Be active. Aduluthë are rp heavy pets. (If you don't know what rp is, you're probably in the wrong place) We understand that people have lives and priorities, and can't be on all the time, but please, make an effort. By adopting a pair of Aduthulë you are making a commitment to care for and interact with them. +Think because you don't have Aduluthë this rule doesn't apply to you? Wrong. Your chances of being picked for adoption are a whole lot better if you actually post in the thread. Not just once or twice, socialize!

3. Do not steal any of Shadow's art. There are no exceptions to this rule. The only way to use her art is if you get a pair of Aduthulë and want to display them, which is perfectly acceptable. Otherwise you must ask first. Failure to do so will result in blacklisting.

4. Play nice. We will not tolerate flaming in our thread. Period. This should be a nice place for everyone, no matter how annoying those noobs can be xd So please, try your best to be polite^^

5. We reserve the right not to give you Aduluthë. We take much pride in these pets, and Shadow puts alot of effort into drawing and coloring each individually. Obviously, we do not want these to go to just anybody. If either Shadow or I feel that you are an unfit owner, we do not have to give you one.

6. One pair per person. If you already own Aduluthë, you cannot get more. It's that simple. Two is enough to handle, don't you think? Also, it gives others a better chance of obtaining their own pair. +However, if you manage to get your Aduthule to reach adulthood, then and ONLY then are you allowed to try for another.

7. No co-owning. Sorry, I know you wanted to. Aduluthë will only listen to their owner, and will get confused if they have two. Also, you cannot split the pair up and give one Thulë to a friend. The Aduluthë must remain together. If separated, it could be chaotic. If the Thulë wishes to wander off on their own for a bit, that's different.

8. No excessive quoting. Pretty self-explanatory, no? It's just a little pet peeve, so please, don't do it! Those can really get overwhelming.

9. Do not PM us for pets. I would think that's common sense, but for those who tend to lack that, I'll put it here anyway.

<center>User ImageUser Image</center>

Aduthulë have 5 stages that we know of.

<center>User Image</center>

{Relics} They start off curled around each other, and unaware of the world around them. This is the beginning stage for all Aduluthë. The form they take is animalian in this stage, and we have yet to figure out why. That changes after birth, however. Also, the Aduthulë are colorless when they are this young. They will be about ready to emerge when color starts to show. Normal relics are small enough to fit in the palm of a hand.

<center>User Image</center>

{Baby} After separating, the twins take on a humanoid form. They are but only babies, and the world is new to them. Unable to speak to anyone but each other, they strongly rely on their adopter. They are about a foot high at this age.

<center>User Image</center>

{Kid} As the Aduthulë begin to learn about the world and their surroundings, they gain the ability to walk and speak. They also grow, so they should be about 2 feet tall by now. Although they are childish in personality, their alignment will become bluntly obvious, it shouldn't be hard to figure out. The twins may differ, but they are still bonded to each other.

<center>User Image</center>

{Teen} Ah, the infamous teen stage. The Aduluthë will face many emotional ups and downs here. They may not be sure about anything. Also, much more disagreement between the pair will occur, best keep your eye on them so the don't get hurt! During this time, a Thulë will become stronger than the other, although they both try to dominate. They will be about 3 feet tall as teens, which is almost full size.

<center>-image-</center>

{Adulthood} After a hard teen life, the point comes where the two souls must take bodily form. Together, they have only enough power to make one body, so they must share it. However, sharing a body equally is close to impossible. The dominant twin will take control of the body, while the recessive retreats into the back of the mind, simply as a voice. The Thulë is not completely lost, for the other can still hear him/her. The twin acts as a conciense to the other, persuading him/her to do things that is more or less of their alignment. The Thulë is full grown at about 3 to 4 feet tall.

<center>_\'| FAQ |'/_</center>

Q. Aduthulë, Thulë? What's the difference?
A. Simple. Aduthulë is plural, Thulë is singular. Although since Aduthulë come in pairs, the term Thulë will most likely be used less 3nodding

Q. Okay, got it. Now how do I pronounce it?
A. ah-doo-tooh-leh. Yeah. Try it! Oh yeah, it's elvish, so say it like it is! It's alot more fun that way too whee

Q. How do you get that funky thing over the e???
A. The easiest way is probably just to copy/paste it from the title into your post. Or you can have one here: ë

Q. OMG LIEK CAN I GET 1!???!!!!!1111!!!???
A. Uhm...not if you ask 'liek' that sweatdrop

Q. Alright, may I please adopt a pair of these beautes?
A. Well, you asked correctly this time! But sorry to say we can't just give you one. Check availability for upcoming sales and events.

<center>_\'| Posse Post |'/_</center>

Whoo! Posse post! I told you it would be here!

We are Shadow's Posse. Yes, we are. The Posse is made up of Shadow's dedicated followers who have been here from the beginning. Or, just about^^ We have all helped create the Aduthule in some way, whether it be ideas or support, using the 'Would You Buy' Thread! This thread is special because it has reached over 100 pages. Posse People, be proud!

Teh following people are members of Shadow's Posse! And from what page they first posted 3nodding

<center>Sable Rose(me, of course!) - Page 3
Yeu - Page 6
Xaria - Page 7
Razih - Page 9
Elocyn - Page 11
Ronai - Page 14</center>

IMPORTANT NOTE: I hope that if, in the first flatsales or contests and such, if any of the Posse people win, no one shall accuse me of favoring or being bias. If a posse member obtains a pair of Aduthule, it would only be because they earned one fairly and deserve it. Thank you.

<center>Poem by Yun
Joined by blood, forever fighting
'flicting natures, oft at war
Over time, one side is failing
T'will become a voice, no more

Fight! No.
Stay! No.
Strive for the perfect balance! No.
Watch, knowing one will fade away...

Polar opposites at birth
One twin follows, one's at fore
From creation to destruction
Together they will soar</center>
