No matter what mortal you mention, none have outlived the divine. No matter what divine you mention, none have outlived Tanaydin. The mighty dragon goddess of the hunt, she has ascended in an age which no mortal tongue can pronounce today. Such age was two ages ago, two calamities ago even, when the world's aether magic behaved differently and a different, strange bipedal mortal kind roamed Collosaro. Officially an ancient divine of the hunt and of hunters, she's adorned other tiles bestowed by her divine peers, such as 'the historian' and 'the one who remembers'. In a tumultuous world, where calamities are so powerful they have wiped out every other divine in their age, she has survived two of them. She knows the name and proper pronunciation to antiquity you never even know existed; divines that have ascended and decayed, and countless mortal-kind structures from monuments to governments now beyond age.

So how did she survive what mortals would call apocalypses two times in a row? No matter who asks her, her answer is the same; she doesn't know. There's as much speculation about her answer as there are mortals; Perhaps she knows and doesn't wish to share? Perhaps she genuinely doesn't know? Or perhaps she knows and doesn't wish to know?

As the eons passed and ages, divines, and history changed, she has remained. Even her closest friend - Cagatay; God of the Forge - has faded like a sunset due to the second calamity. Yet a mystery still lingered. As divines die so to do their messengers; Those hand picked, sculpted, or protected by the divines to proclaim their wills. As the second calamity claimed all divines around her once again, Cagatay's messenger Cagaceli endured. His continued existence is the second of two questions she can never answer.

So if Cagaceli survived, then what would that imply? No matter the circumstance, none have changed her answer; a long, distant stare off to the sunset with an expression frozen in time.

This adopt is the proud creation of two talented artists; LiitAlles and Mythoroan. More than a year ago I placed a bid, got lucky, and obtained this incredible artwork. In all that time I have forgotten to post her online, much to the amusement and nudging of my friend Zessique. To be fair, perhaps her story needed more time in the oven, so to speak. After all the world of Collosaro wasn't as developed as it was today. Back then Balans didn't even have a home, Yatasal didn't even have a kingdom, and for sure such lore was only speculation never actual fact. She's existed as a concept for longer than many things; perhaps only adding to her lore haha!

Special thanks to the artists, and I highly recommend you check them out! I hope you all enjoy!
