Mystic Cave

Petite mise à jour en ce début de Septembre.
Une trouvaille d'Ebay, un dragon récent et rare : Crystallum. Vendu uniquement en Angleterre (théoriquement)... J'ai eu un coup de chance en tombant dessus par hasard. Il a une très bonne bouille sur son rocher calcaire <3. Il est tout petit en réalité, du calibre de Pristine et à peine plus haut qu'un bookwyrm.
En parlant de Pristine, aucun changement, je n'ai toujours pas décidé de sa couleur.

Nom : Crystallum
Collection : Dragonsite
N° : 061 sur 250
Sculpteur : Andrew Bill
Taille : environ 14 cm de haut et 11 de large

Crystallum, the legendary mine from which many of the most famous gems in history have been unearthed. The wealth concealed within this geological treasure trove was believed to be greater than half the known kingdoms of the ancient world.
Adamas it was who first discovered this priceless well of gemstones; Adamas, whose love of crystals was matched only by the dragons he tamed. The fine senses of these faithful beasts were drawn to the singular energies of the buried stones, and the wizard used them to seek and find his wealth. The motherlode that was to become Crystallum was discovered when, deep in a cave, the dragon Dagator came upon the great slab of diamond that was later to yield the ‘Heaven’s Tear’ for the labyrinth master Callidus, the ‘Star of Elana’ set in the crown of the famed queen and most renowned of all the ‘Silverfire stone’ that burned atop the staff of Adamas himself.
Needless to say the whereabouts of the mine were kept a close secret by the wizard Adamas but rumours abound that the verbuMMagus knows of a map concealed somewhere in his vast library, a map with an ‘X’ drawn in wizard’s blood!

Après une petite recherche sur ebay.co.uk j'ai déniché 3 dragons de Dragonsite assez rares qui ne sont plus édités depuis un bout de temps. Le vendeur a bien voulu faire exception et accepter de les envoyer en France. Ces dragons sont de la même gamme que les Bookwyrms à la différence près que ces 3 là sont limités.

Nom : Sunburst - Sol rumpere

The complimentary forces of the Sun and Moon have dominated our lore and mythology for centuries. Our ancestors looked to the skies and saw the Sun, an eternal dazzling globe of light, the life-giver, bringing warmth and light to their world. It was seen as a generous benefactor lending its light to the Moon, which had no light of its own. The Sun was always the constant, the dependable force of the heavens, whereas the Moon, with its ever-changing face, is seen as the more mysterious of the two.

In the First book of Mages we read that some civilizations believed the Sun to be the eye of the gods, or even the eye of the world; a scared being that dwelled inside the earth when not in the sky, for was it not from the earth that is rose at dawn and returned at dusk? Great temples and tombs, even cities have been constructed in accordance with the Sun's movements across the sky. The lives of many peoples follow the passage of the Sun as close as any flower whose face is ever turned to the great golden eye.

Nom : Moonstruck - Lumaticus

The First book of Mages tells of the importance placed by many sorcerers on astronomical signs. Indeed, so closely do some wizards relate these symbols to their craft that they have representations of them woven into the fabric of their long robes. Crescent moon, full moon, the sun and stars, their unmistakable profiles have always held great potency for those who gaze skywards.

The crescent is but one phase in the Moon's endless cycle and has always figured largely amongst the mystical influences of the enchanted world. The ancients based their calendars on the constant and reliable phases of the Moon. They knew that just as the Moon was one with the land and the tides of the seas, so was she also one with the tides of life.

Nom : Starlight - Stella lumen
Collection : Dragonsite
Edition : VerbumMagus
N° : 0492 sur 2000
Sculpteur : Andrew Bill
Taille : environ 18cm de haut et 9 d'envergure

Stars, perhaps more than other astronomical signs, have always been closely associated with magic and sorcery: they appear at the tips of fairy wands, as magical talismans, as the background for enchanter's charts, as decoration for wizards' robes. The given form of the star (which is of course only an artist's impression of a bright point of twinkling light) is a potent symbol in the culture and theology of many diverse civilisations.

All the Books of Mages tell us that for many generations wizards and seers have used the constellations, the families of stars in the night sky, as navigators, oracles, spirit guides and a rich source of mythology. The jewels of the midnight skies form a vast, encyclopaedic atlas, containing secrets and mysteries of which only the Great Watchers, the mighty stargazing mages might guess.
