## Description

Lady Orienne's true appearance is unknown, as she changes her form often. Three things all of her forms share are a feminine appearance, long, wavy purple hair, and a delicate voice. Less precisely, although still notably, she usually seems to take the form of long lifespan races, such as an elf or an inthur. She wears proper, but old clothing, which is often based on ancient clothing of her current race. Additionally, her mannerisms are always graceful and welcoming. She typically never carries tools or weapons.

## Followers

Lady Orienne's warmth is available to all, however followers of Lady Orienne are typically long lifespan races (250+ years). The most notable of these are the inthur, the majority of which follow the Goddess of Eternity, as opposed to her followers being a minority in with races. Still, she isn't picky, so she will accepts anyone, as long as they are good-natured and follow her ideals.

Followers who have proven themselves to be truly devoted to her earn may earn the gift of immortality. Lady Orienne is kind and caring in nature, Her ideals being redemption, eternity, memories, and peace. She and her followers also value memories and things that are sentimental to them.

The Church of Eternity is the official name for the religion worshipping Lady Orienne and her beliefs. This religion does not have any physical buildings like churches, nor does it have routine prayers. Typically, followers (sometimes called eternals) pray in places which have been important to them for a long time (such as their home) and with objects which hold sentimental value (such as pictures of loved ones, childhood items). Occasionally, inthur clerics organize communal prayer in certain communities, however this is not common and happens rarely, typically as a celebration for an important event.

## Palatium Aeternum

Palatium Aeternum, or Aeternum for short, is an infinite realm that has no end, edge, and doesn't loop. At the center, where the souls of her worthy followed appear after death, is a large city constructed by Lady Orienne herself. It is referred to as just "the city". It contains all of the amenities a city needs and all of the workers are hologram-like creatures, who look like regular people, but have no free will or thought, are completely subservient and are slightly transparent. Outside of the city there are mainly plains with yellow-green grass with small hills and occasionally a few trees with yellow-green leaves, accompanied by a purple sky. Some of her followers, who prefer living in small communities or by themselves rather than in a city, may ask Lady Orienne to construct a new home for them or direct them to a smaller village that She's already built. Those villages have the same name as the person who first asked for them to be built.

In the city, there's a large building called "The Memory Gallery". It's shaped like a hotel and acts like one, but with one key difference. Inside of any hotel room, a person can choose to relive some of their memories. They can choose to either watch the memory from a 3rd person point of view, or from their own point of view, but they can't change anything about the memory. Other people may view the memory if they're in the room, too. This is one of the most popular attractions in the city.

In the city there are purple crystal golem creatures called Custodians of Eternity, their purpose is to ward off and kill hostile visitors of the realm. In the city, no matter where you look from, you will probably see 1 or 2, though Lady Orienne can summon as many as She needs. There's also 1 of them in each village. They are 5-10 meters tall, it varies. All of them have perfect control of Eternity, Crystal, Space and Freyja Light affinities. Eternal Custodians can also fly and use their sharp crystal arms to cut their enemies. They can also summon Guardians of Eternity, which are are a weaker type of golem that is more common in villages (5-50 in a village depending on the size).

Guardians of Eternity are also purple crystal golem creatures, but they actually have hands unlike the Custodians of Eternity. People who live in villages use them to help with chores like farming or carrying heavy objects, but they also have combat abilities of their own. Habitants who like to fight will often spar with them, though, of course, the golems usually go easy on them. They are about 2 meters tall. Guardians of Eternity have perfect control of the Eternal and Crystal affinities.

Last of the golems are the Servants of Eternity. Their only purpose is to build structures, but some people like to keep them as pets. Lady Orienne summons them whenever she needs some structure to be built and unsummons them afterwards. They build very fast, so the only way to see them is if they're someone's pet, or if you get lucky and see them building something. They are about 0.5 meters tall. They control Eternity, Crystal, Earth and Nature affinities.

While it is possible to visit this realm while still being alive, doing so has it's complications. All of the food and plants in this world has no calories and no nutrients, only taste. Same thing with drinks, including water. This normally isn't a problem for the souls enjoying their afterlife here, since they don't need to eat or drink and only do it for the taste. However, anyone who visits this realm has to bring their own food and water source.

The main reason that anyone would visit this realm is to either use The Memory Gallery or to speak to Lady Orienne. She is generally receptive to chit-chat and it's not very hard to reach out to Her while in the realm. She can often be found in one of the bars or cafes in the city chatting with anyone. Anyone who wants to talk to her can simply ask one of the Custodians of Eternity nearby. The Custodian will then answer with "Purpose?", to which the person asking must reply with the reason that they want to chat with Lady Orienne. Regardless of the answer, Lady Orienne will then immediately find out where that person is and what they told the Custodian. The Custodian then will lead the person to Lady Orienne, after which it will return to it's original location.

## Origins

It is unclear how Lady Eternity or her plane came into existence, however many suspect that her origins trace back to the beginning of time itself. A popular lullaby amongst the inthur reads as follows:

* *Lady Orienne, eternal and divine*
* *A goddess whose origins in time entwine,*
* *From the dawn of creation, her realm arised,*
* *With purple sky, yellow grass, forever alive.*
* ‎
* *She weaves the threads of destiny's grand scheme,*
* *In her presence, all moments seem brightly gleam,*
* *A timeless beauty, a force to behold,*
* *Lady Orienne, in eternity, making time an endless road.*

The inthur are Lady Orienne's most devoted followers, thus many look within their culture to study Lady Orienne. This lullaby suggests that both Lady Orienne and Palatium Aeternum both came into existence "from the dawn of creation".

## Inthur

###### Main page: Inthur

The inthur are a race of tall, blue or purple skinned beings. They have hooves instead of feet and often feature elegant facial features with curved horns on their foreheads. Their eyes glow and they have long, flowing hair in various shades of blue. They typically wear robes, jewellery, and impressive armour.

Inthur are the main followers of Lady Orienne, making up a majority of her followers. Unsurprisingly, they live for about 750-850 years on average, however some attain the gift of immortality from Lady Eternity herself, allowing them to live for even longer. Due to their nature, they tend to be quite stubborn and not very prone to change.
