    About Wychwood

    Wychwood is a name picked up from a silly play on words, not only being named after a plant, but in reference to Heiri, the traveling witch of the Black Shroud.It all started with Heiri traveling as a freelance merchant and apothecary service, visiting anywhere from Gridania to Ul'Dah and the Far East to Radz-at-Hanz. Now, Wychwood Tonics can be found within the Goblet nestled just above the canyons, a Far-Eastern styled eatery resides below while the upper floors are a dedicated magicks apothecarium.

    Totentanz Exorcisms
    · • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·

    Totentanz dancing is a unique Radz-at-hanz form of dance and combat that focuses on a different kind of aetherical energy. This energy is known to most researchers as of late as "Dynamis". An energy that is based around emotions and thought. Depending on a person's state of mind, they could very easily become possessed of or become a monster.The purpose of these dances serve not only as a combative technique, but as a way to purge the body and soul of these tainted dynamis energies. At request, and proceeding proper evaluations, dancers will perform in order to remove said energies and upon bringing them forth in a monsterous form on stage, combat will take place to get rid of them.RP Combat
    All patrons who take part in these fights will dictate what their dynamis beast looks like! and will get the chance to control them in the fight on stage with the dancers!

    Ba'als

    Lords and Ladies of Dynamis

    Ba'al; Noun; A 'lord' or 'owner' presiding over specific domains in energy known as 'Dynamis'.

    What is a Ba'al?
    A sad song. An even more sunken dance. When emotions overtake the heart and soul, they manifest in strange and unsavory manners. These manifestations have been attributed to the ruling Ba'al over which the rogue emotions reside. A scorned lover, for example may feel the presence and urgings of Ba'al V; Turtledove. In which their obsession in love or heartbreak consumes them in time before rotting them to their core, first inwards and then out. A man consumed of daily pressures and forced to exhaustion may feel the frail weariness of Ba'al XV; Arbor. Slowly draining their energy till none save the need to eternally rest remain.
    In every case of a Ba'al's presence, one truth remains; those who are afflicted and consumed in whole by these intense emotions turn into grizzly beasts for which there is no return. At first the victim portrays signs of manic distress. an uneven and intense sway towards a specific emotion. In time, these outbursts turn wild. Violent. Some accounts have shown hostilities that ended in homicide. Their movements and actions become uncontrollable, not their own and whimsical- in the sense they mock a twisted dance. A plague in which was named the 'Totentanz'. If not exorcised at this point of affliction, the victim is left to be consumed by the Ba'al's accumulated Dynamis, transforming them into a beast referred to as a 'Blasphemy'. Often categorized within the domain of the Ba'al that had infected them.

    Emotions

    Heiri carries with her a crystal that changes color based on the emotion that is most prevelant at the time, and shines brighter the closer she gets to the source of said emotion. If you wish to have your emotions displayed; or to take place in an rp involving a Ba'al, simply send a tell or a whisper!
