📋 About This Mod
Together, they danced out into an audience hall, silken scarves trailing. Their steps were graceful, their smiles radiant. Once their
dance ended, applause sounded throughout — echoing between pillars that
glowed in the setting sun. They both seated beside their father, the
Emperor. Ainari giggled something to a friend, perhaps a joke.
That's when it happened.
A blur of black. A bloodcurdling cry. And before any could tell what had happened, their father lay still. Slain — assassinated. Some days later, the siblings planted a sprig in memorial within the palace gardens.
Every year they'd return. Older. Changing. But always
together.

Siblings based on a random dream I had. I wanted to create them before they were forgotten.
For elves, drow, half-elves, humans, and tieflings.
