Medieval Manuscripts - Blog Posts
After the nativity of Her child Ninush, the goddess Sylvian laid the newborn god upon a bed of flowers, blessing them with her love. It is said that Her grace bestowed upon the blooms a fraction of Her extraordinary powers, giving them Her name - "Sylvium".
Mankind had availed themselves of this flower for as long as we have existed, for it had found many uses in our hands, such as the making of medicine, perfumes, philtres, or even delicious meals. But as great civilizations formed, their demand for this illustrious plant grew to such heights that the supply slowly but surely ran dry, just as the old gods left this world.
Some say that Silphium, as people had come to know the flower in the age of the new gods, can still be found in places forgotten by humanity, where the powers of the old gods remain strong.
this is very experimental as I tried replicating the style of medieval manuscripts for the first time so I hope it didn’t turn out too bad 🙏 anyways, my dear mutual @jestersurgery inspired me to make a funger oc so here it is, yay! lore dump (and hopefully more traditional art) is coming… eventually, but feel free to ask any questions in the meantime 😇
