According to all known laws of aviation
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? Barry? Adam? Can you believe this is happening? I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs, Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. You got lint on your fuzz. Ow! That's me! Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! Hey, Adam. Hey, Barry. Is that fuzz gel? A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around The Hive. You did come back different. Hi, Barry. Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. Hear about Frankie? Yeah. You going to the funeral? No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp under the circumstances. Well, Adam, today we are men. We are! Bee-men. Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive City graduating class of 9:15. That concludes our ceremonies And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick our job today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. Wonder what it'll be like? A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to The Hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! That girl was hot. She's my cousin! She is? Yes, we're all cousins. Right. You're right. At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. What do you think he makes? Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. What does that do? Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Can anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Check it out. Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside The Hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. Hey, Jocks! Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! I wonder where they were. I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside The Hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. Couple of Hive Harrys. Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! Oh, my! I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. Six miles, huh? Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. Maybe I am. You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? Well, there's a lot of choices. But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! Barry, you are so funny sometimes. I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! You're gonna be a stirrer? No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. We're starting work today! Today's the day. Come on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... Is it still available? Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Congratulations! Step to the side. What'd you get? Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Couple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. You want to go first? No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. Any chance of getting the Krelman? Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? I'm going out. Out? Out where? Out there. Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. Look at that. Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. Thank you. OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! That's awful. And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. Antennae, check. Nectar pack, check. Wings, check. Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader, We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! Ever see pollination up close? No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Cool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow, Could be daisies, Don't we need those? Copy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Chemical-y. Careful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Candy-brain, get off there! Problem! Guys! This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Coming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don't think these are flowers. Should we tell him? I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car! Do something! I'm driving! Hi, bee. He's back here! He's going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Can't fly in rain. Can't fly in rain. Can't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Check out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This... Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don't go for that... kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him.It's an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. You could put carob chips on there. Bye. Supposed to be less calories. Bye. I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Come on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can't. How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. You're talking. Yes, I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee! I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you... I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised. That was a little weird. I'm talking with a bee. Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. Wait! How did you learn to do that? What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up. That's very funny. Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway... Can I... get you something? Like what? I don't know. I mean... I don't know. Coffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. It's just coffee. I hate to impose. Don't be ridiculous! Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? I shouldn't. Have some. No, I can't. Come on! I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. Where? These stripes don't help. You look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?" Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don't know. I want to do my part for The Hive, but I can't do it the way they want. I know how you feel. You do? Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. Really? My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look... There's my hive right there. See it? You're in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. Why do girls put rings on their toes? Why not? It's like putting a hat on your knee. Maybe I'll try that. You all right, ma'am? Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you...? Can I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. Thanks! Yeah. All right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again... for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... This can't possibly work. He's all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. Sounds amazing. It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. Do they try and kill you, like on TV? Some of them. But some of them don't. How'd you get back? Poodle. You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. Well... Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! No, no, no, not a wasp. Spider? I'm not attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's... human. No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law. Her name's Vanessa. Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside The Hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? They call it a crumb. It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! You know what a Cinnabon is? No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up... Sit down! ...really hot! Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! Thinking bee. Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! We're still here. I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! Then why yell at me? Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this. Sorry, I've gotta go. Where are you going? I'm meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. What is wrong with you?! It's a bug. He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic 'N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got that down to a science. I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. I'll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? cute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? Is he that actor? I never heard of him. Why is this here? For people. We eat it. You don't have enough food of your own? Well, yes. How do you get it? Bees make it. I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! It's organic. It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've taken our homes, schools,hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. You almost done? Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is ups

2024.05.01 08:39 ImpossibleEye5507 This is a genuine question i Found and would like some of ur opinions.

First of all i ask for forgiveness to allah for what im to ask, cause undoubtedly it might give rise to some bad thoughts in people's mind. So let me start. [I have actually found a answer that i will give at the end] so i have found a collection of hadith such as, One hadith i found that says Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.705 Narrated by Ibn Umar
The Prophet said, "Authority of ruling (Khilaafah) will remain with Quraish, even if only two of them remained." And there are similar hadiths like this in bukhari and in muslim. And according to what i found many current day whabi and shafai scholars and their predecessor had the View, [ "being from the quraish is Mandatory for one to be a valid ruler.]" [except imam abu hanifa who had another view].
If its the case wouldn't it make islam same as hinduism where they have this racist view that one group is better then another by birth and is obliged to be the rulers? I had this discussion with a fellow Muslim brother who and many saudi sheiks(i will refrain from saying their names) held this view that the khilaafah e usmania [Ottomans] were unworthy of this Title just because it was not their birth right. No matter how one sees it, its racism.
And if this was the case then wouldn't that contradict the hadith of obeying an ethopoeian slave ruler and also the prophets(saw)s speach of "no race is superior over another"?
And for the answer i found was for the arabs of that time who despite becoming Muslim wouldn't follow an non quraish to be their leader. But the thing is if we go by this even then it would mean the shabas were racist like the jews who wouldn't follow anyone was not from them? (just like they rejected the prophet for not Being one of them). So the conclusion i reached is as follows
1] all sheiks and theire followes [except few] who did the tafsir like this are racist and are vouching for a arab Colonialism though it be in present or in the past. [ie some actually even said that the linage of quraish is better then others]
2] the answer i got is right and the arabs of that time had traits similar to that of the jahiliya dispite begin Muslims.
3] imam abu hanifas view was right and that it was not mandatory for a khalif to be of quraish rather he needs to be just and rule by the book of allah. And all those hadith was only for a curtain period of time. And not the whole ummah. And every one else who opposed it was misguided for their false tafsir of those hadith.
4] all the others were right except abu hanifa and islam really does promoted racism and superiority of arabs over other ethnic groups. And the prophet (saw) contradicted Himself by giving the speech about no race is superior to another. Share ur thoughts.

2024.05.01 08:39 Exoticindianart Kerala Pure Handloom Sarees - Popularity & History

Kerala Pure Handloom Sarees - Popularity & History
The sarees from Kerala have not been able to become popular in north India because of their simple character and lack of publicity. The elegant saree of white colour with gold border is unique because of its natural colour texture and gold border. This saree lends an extraordinary elegance to the person who wears it. Every woman from Malayalam possesses at least one such saree.

https://preview.redd.it/p3md1j15grxc1.jpg?width=1366&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82b3a8f77ab7b11bf128c7c96aab2b51d653ea43
Traditionally women in Kerala also wear a two- piece cloth named Munda which has natural body colour and breath-taking border shades which after wearing look exactly like a saree.
The traditional Kerala saree is hand-woven and is 100% unbleached cotton. The cotton is known for its fineness count in its weaving. The traditional design of a Kerala saree has a one inch to six-seven inch pallav while the border remained plain.
But things have changed now. In modern days to compete with sarees of other states the saree has a border and pallav which goes up to one metre or so. The border and pallav have natural things like animal, peacock or flower designs woven on them. The saree is also available in cheques and strips and a wide variety of other designs as well as in other varieties of fabric such as silk and cotton mixed cloth.
Kerala is also famous for making unbleached cotton handloom cloth commonly known as Kora cloth. This is exported and occupies a proud place in the garment industry. Balarampuram in Tiruvanthapuram district the capital of Kerala is a most historically important place for handloom fabric specially the traditional wear. It follows a 150 year-old tradition. It was during the reign of Maharaja Balaram Varma which dates back to year 1798 to 1810 that handloom weaving was first introduced at Balarampuram.
The weavers originally belong to a community who migrated from Nagarcoil and Tirunandi in Tamil Nadu. They used to produce superfine cloth for the royal family. The tradition spread from them to local weavers. The weavers use original-type throw-shuttle pitlooms for the production of exclusive cotton sarees with pure zari.
Named after the village of its origin handloom in north Parabal, Ernakulam district is famous for its fine weaving and special effects in pure cotton and silk sarees.
Kathampallisarees from north of Kerala are masterpieces made of high quality yarn using traditional and modern method. Kathampalli sarees are famous for design, quality, varied colour combination and ornamental zari work and border.
The weaving is done in unique style giving care to the thread and applying a special kind of paste to make the saree strong and long lasting. District Tressor is also known for its handloom fabric. Here a community of Devangas who immigrated from Karnataka are engaged in weaving the Kasavir sarees which are being produced here generally with half-fine zari and so prices are more economical.
Kathampalli sarees are preferred by the middle class people because of comparative low prices. The sarees from Kerala are used by the women in metros for dinner parties the ones with zari work. They are not used for wedding and engagement parties as they are not so glamorous.
The ones with simple border and pallav are used as casual wear. For lack of proper publicity it has not been able to capture the market for good varieties with zari work. They are available in metros in the Government emporiums. The cotton sarees are ideal for summer wear and can compete with sarees made in any other state.
The sarees with zari are a bit expensive but ordinary sarees with cotton border and pallav are highly affordable and are within the reach of a middle class person.

2024.05.01 08:38 chyckun A Treatise on the Dark Elves

The Dusk elves are the oldest peoples in Barovia, all of them are actually older than Barovia, and Strahd himself. They are one of the most clear examples of the power and brutality of Strahd, and arguably the reason that any of this module exists in the first place canonically. Despite being the clear choice for allies and ancient knowledge, the RAW Curse of Strahd book only uses the Dusk Elves as a decrepit faction to tell a story about times past, and to provide more variety in the races in Barovia.
Modern fans and enthusiasts have made some very well considered expansions, making the Dusk Elves more interesting and giving them more of a purpose. masquerade1412, TheAmazingMu, LilLoki87 and others have all offered some changes and insight into the shortcomings of the Dusk Elves in their own posts on this subreddit, but there appears to be little discourse on the topic otherwise, but why? DragnaCarta adds some signifigant additional content to the Dusk Elves lore, which is well researched and fits into the existing CoS narrative very well, by simply writing a speech from Kasimir. Given the incredibly well researched and widely used nature of them both, we will consider both DragnaCarta and MandyMod's additions to the game. They are not always compatible, but we will consider both for our purposes here, if only to be aware of what information is available. At the end of the day, it is up to you as the DM as to what information you want to use, nothing in this writeup is what you "have" to use for your game. My intent is to detail all of the existing information (of note) about the Dusk Elves within Barovia, such as the family of Kasimir Velikov, for those DMs like me who want to have the "full story".

RAW Facts

What do we KNOW about the Dusk elves from official publications and canon material? To address this, it's important to understand a little bit of the history of the module itself. Much of this early history is thanks to a comment by ArrBeeNayr, who succinctly describes everything in these first two paragraphs, and gave me the leads to investigate. The I6 Ravenloft book published in 1983 adds a few new characters, events, and stories to make the book more interesting, as explained well by vexahliadeyolo. Of these, they added two entombed brides of Strahd, Sasha Ivliskova, and Patrina Velikovna, the latter of which should sound familiar. Patrina was an elven bride, and the only elf in the module at that point, and it doesn't add anything in about her story explicitly, just a good plot hook for creative DMs.

Dungeon Magazine

In 2012, Dungeon Magazine edition #207 (free version) adds a module to expand on the Ravenloft game, called Fair Barovia. This additional story adds Kasimir, a "Dusk elf druid", as the leader of the Velikovna elves for 60 years. It also includes that Patrina is his sister who forsake their Sehanine druidic magic with the following note. "One of Kasimir’s deepest shames is the memory of his sister Patrina, who forsook primal magic in favor of the powers of shadow and eventually caught the eye of Strahd von Zarovich.". If you help him find some missing hunters, he gives you a belt from Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium that gives you an extra action on your first turn when you roll a natural 20 for initiative. This quest leads you to his sister Patrina, who has apparated as a banshee let free from the crypts of Castle Ravenloft to hunt her kin at Lysaga Hill. She has multiple Dread archers and Dread Marauders holding some elves hostage, and it comes with a battlemap. It's honestly a very cool encounter, great map design, and has a dynamic battlefield involving trying to free the prisoners inside a runic circle that heals the enemies nearby it. Despite excelling at the mechanical aspects, this doesn't really give us anything in terms of Dusk Elf lore beyond Kasimir and Patrina with a collection of unnamed others.

Winning Races: Dusk Elves

The only bit of info it does give, points to the official Winning Races: Dusk Elves by Robert J Schwalb. It was the first subrace of elves added in 4e, originally refugees from the feywild who escaped a nasty war between the forces of Corellon and Lolth, Eladrin and Drow respectively. They were taken in by the third Elven god, Sehanine, and given safety and stealthy magicks. Sehanine was also Selune, or at least the "fey aspect" of Selune, up until the Second Sundering (mentioned in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide).
This brings us to the modern editions, which we will consider 2016's Curse of Strahd, and 2020's Curse of Strahd Revamped. Rahadin, much to every DMs delight, was added in to give Strahd a more direct means of dealing with things in his domain without getting his own hands dirty. He also comes with some chunky backstory about having betrayed the Dusk Elves to lead them to their current entrapment, in part of the expansion on the history of Barovia itself. He was previously a warriogeneral under King Barov II (Strahd's Father), having served Strahd's family for many centuries. He turned on his people when King Barov demanded fealty from the Dusk Elves, and helped Barov von Zarovich put the royal bloodline to the sword, and take over the elven kingdom. The dusk elves could very well be assumed to be one of the "enemies" that Strahd is mentioned as having fought against, but the 2020 book specifically says that he "cornered the last of these enemies in a remote mountain valley before slaying them all." Which does pretty well imply the Dusk Elves must have not been such enemies to still be around for Strahd to have Rahadin slaughter later on. That leaves us with a lot of questions though, what were the Dusk Elves up to during the original invasions by the Zaroviches? Did they ever oppose them, before the stoning of Patrina? Where did they used to live before getting into little hovels near the Vistani?

Rough and RAW History of the Dusk Elves

With so much more in terms of explanations about the world at large, we can start to see how there are some very clear borders to what has been fleshed out by Wotc and other editions of Ravenloft/Barovia/CoS. Now that we have all of the pieces of the puzzle, what does that leave us with min terms of what the current story is for the Dusk Elves from CoS Revamped?
  1. The Dusk elves are likely from the Feywild, and settled in the valley to be safe and in nature following Sehanine.
  2. Humans(?) and wizards moved into the valley, established the Amber Temple, and ended up warring with their neighbors, the warmongering Zarovia.
  3. Under Barov and Strahd, the armies of Zarovia wiped out all of their enemies to the last man, sweeping into the valley that would become Barovia last, and beginning to build Ravenloft after Strahd's mother Ravenovia.
  4. The dusk elves kind of just ignored the situation, until one of their own, Patrina deviated to dark magics from the Amber temple rather than druidic magic
  5. She learned of the Amber Temple, as implied by the first paragraph of Chapter 13 "They dedicated the Temple to a god of secrets, whom they entrusted to keep it hidden from the rest of the world until the end of time. Unfortunately for the wizards, even the will of a god couldn't prevent other evil creatures from learning the temple's location" and confirmed by her being the one to teach Strahd about the Amber temple in the first place, which is mentioned in Rahadin's Biography in Appendix D.
  6. After sharing the secrets of the Amber temple with Strahd, she didn't keep his interest as Tatyana showed up, and the rest is history. The Barovia Domain of Dread is created, and the Dusk Elves are trapped.
  7. She returned to help Strahd with his magic, promising him even greater powers, and she was quite an accomplished archmage.
  8. The Dusk Elves stone Patrina to death to prevent her from strengthening Strahd or falling into his hands, orchestrated by Kasimir
  9. Strahd demanded the return of her body, and interred her in the crypts.
  10. Strahd sent Rahadin to slaughter every woman and child of the Dusk Elves, to prevent them from ever reproducing, and cuts off Kasimir's ears.
  11. The Dusk Elves resign themselves to living amongst the Vistani, in a shared agreement from Strahd, where the Vistani would not be allowed to help them leave and rather help him keep an eye on them for further shenanigans.
Now I'll be honest, this is a lot of consideration and research for what ends up being a very compelling story, but the origin is just "the elves were there" and glossing over the elders who died. Any DM knows that when you have a cool historic civilization of long lived people with tragic backstories, your players are going to drill them with questions about history. This brings us out of the RAW Facts, and into how to implement all of this into your game, and even how to address certain gaps.

Putting it into action

It's really nice to have a good understanding of your history, it helps you really know the world and the characters. In this case, we have the opportunity to make our own history for the Dusk Elves! Given how much work you put in to DM Curse of Strahd, with all of its complex characters, civilizations, cities, and dungeons, you deserve a nice treat of designing some happy wood elf like fantasy history. That's one of the most classic worldbuilding experiences, what the elves doin'?

Dragna Carta's Additions

DragnaCarta provides one of the most clearly organized and notorious expansions to Kazimir and the Dusk Elves. In fact, he revokes the entire women/child slaughter thing in favor of a new story where when Strahd rose to power, the Dusk Elves revolted, resulting in a slaughter leaving less than a hundred alive. It goes on to say the Vistani led them to safety in the valley there. The place they came from is also mentioned earlier in the speech bubble, where the following is transcribed:
"It was not Strahd that shattered the peace, but his father, King Barov von Zarovich II. In those days, our people dwelled in Othrondil, the Forest of Twilight. A council of princes ruled us, led by Erevan Löwenhart, my uncle and a master in the art of bladesong. When King Barov's eyes fell upon our lands, he demanded our fealty—our tribute to the borders of old Zarovia, the kingdom his ancestors once ruled. Erevan, who practiced the style of the lion and bore the lion's sigil, was never one to bow, however, and refused. His act of defiance ignited the fires of war."
A few notes about this, Othrondil is not a canon location, in fact the word had never even existed on the internet prior to DragnaCarta using it for this exact purpose, a fact of which I am very impressed by. The Forest of Twilight is interesting, as it is a location from the Eberron setting, it's a plane in itself of completely untouched wild growth and animalistic nature. Now, DragnaCarta might not have intended to mirror that, and just chose a cool name, which is also great, especially since the story implies that the Dusk Elves were elsewhere in the lands of Barovia that the Zaroviches conquered, before being driven to Barovia. Speaking of, what did the Barovian Prime Material Plane look like before getting yoinked into the Domains of Dread on the edges of the shadowfell?

Markthewhark's Barovian Prime Material Plane

Markthewhark made an awesome map of a theoretical map of Barovia's Material Plane which you should definitely check out. He suggests the ancestral land of the Dusk Elves is Coraarathir, a far south nation on his map. You can frankly choose whatever named place you want here, this is functionally compatible with DragnaCarta's interpretation and story in all ways. Just choose a named province off the map and you're good to go!
Luckily for this context, we do not have to broach the topic of broader Ravenloft as the Dusk Elves that we are concerned about are purely a matter of Barovian history.

The Fanes of Barovia

The most common expansion to CoS is the addition of the Fanes. They serve as a way to explain some more of the history of Barovia besides the Zaroviches, as well as explain more concretely why Strahd has such control over this particular valley, besides just "amber temple" handwaving for everything he can do. Strahd was a vicious hungry dictator who wanted all the power he could get, and the Fanes give us such an amazing tool to do so with.
This is where we get off of the already created train, and into some of my own musings. TheAmuzingMu made a post 4 years ago that starts on what I had in mind, where the Dusk Elves came WITH the Fanes. I think this makes the most sense and ties the Dusk Elves in to a much more intimate connection with the Valley, and makes the genocide/oppression that much more visceral that Strahd took the Fanes power for himself. In Dragna Carta's Lore of Barovia, [he suggests that a group of Druidic elders approached him to offer the power of the Fanes](https://www.reddit.com/CurseofStrahd/comments/8ryr9b/revisions_for_running_curse_of_strahd_the_fanes/, from the Forest folk. Likely to prevent their demise and further suffering as they saw under the previous human inhabitants that combatted the Fanes. His more up to date guide does not go nearly as into detail, as he has been working through updating it as recently as April 18th, with his release of Act O: Dinner with the Devil. So in that case, we will assume he is still using a lot of his ideas from six years back about the Fanes and reconsecration, potentially even using MandyMod's information.
MandyMod provided the community with The Fanes and the Origin of the Winery Gems As well as The Fanes of Barovia II - Reconsecration and Lore which dives deeper into how the Fanes work mechanically, and details a number of quests the players can go on to Reconsecrate the Fanes. This is based on the druids, but I think you could absolutely assign one of the Fanes, specifically the Hunter, to the Dusk Elves to help with. They are a representation of the remembrance of the past, a perfect theme for Elves and especially traumatized elves from a nicer place. They are also very magically inclined, so the Weaver is by far the most appropriate. Then you just whip up a version where the Martikovs help with the Seeker, as the raven one, and then the Werewolves help with the Huntress, as the one who made them.
This specifically leaves out the druids, which is okay! They were the ones who sold out the Fanes in the first place, and MandyMod only suggests the Forest Folk as the route to go since they are the most directly involved, and suggests that they've learned to respect the players, and some crazy unnamed priestess gives them the rituals they need. This is a great start, but I think we can take it a little bit further with each Fane having an associated clan/group that would be most likely to help, based on the natural choices. Even if your players end up getting along great with the Druids, you can use them in place of the werewolves or others, it honestly just gives you more flexibility to have your players piss off at least some groups without major issues for reconsecration.
This directly sets the Dusk Elves up to help the players, in MandyMod's version, to find and slay Baba Lysaga in Berez, as she is written to be the one who crafted an artifact called the Blasphemous Heart to corrupt the Weaver's shine and the swamps. She did this by sacrificing a number of Forest Folk hearts of Priestesses and dragged the women to the Shrine in Berez and lashed the girls to the stone Menhirs. This is once again a great start, but I think we can do a two-for-one special. If we are already doing the "sacrifice a bunch of women" thing, and are considering using this Fane for the Dusk Elves, why not use them? I couldn't find mention of if the Fanes desecration was supposed to happen before or after the whole becoming an evil dark lord thing, but I think we should probably assume it's after, when he had the power to scare the Forest Folk into submission and pulled everyone into the Domain of Dread. With the idea that you can have different factions provide different input, you can create a much more compelling story for such interesting Fane entities. Plus we've also created a whole new use for the Dusk Elves besides a lore dump, possible fated ally, and a tragic story with little interaction to the party.

Things to keep in mind for Dusk Elves culture

They are frequently compared to wood elves, druids, etc. These are not like High Elves or Drow, these are nice hippy twink forest fey men who act very serious all the time.
They worship Sehanine, the goddess of moonlight/the moon. This has some interesting interactions in terms of their opinions on Lycanthropes and other moon based events.
They are extremely long lived, as elves. Time moves the same sure, but an elf's perception of 100 years is drastically different than a human's. Even compared to Strahd, Rahadin has been serving Strahd for his whole life, his father before him, etc for 500 years, not even considering however old he was prior. This means Kasimir is downtrodden and beaten by his failure and the execution of his people, but keep in mind it feels MUCH more recent to him than a human would think after all of those centuries. It also means they have not given up hope on a life without Strahd
All of the Dusk Elves knew the valley before Strahd, and were there long before. If we consider RAW, it's impossible for any of the elves to have been born after Strahd's terror since he executed all the kids and women.
Did we just forget about Half Elves??? What the hell barovians? Why haven't ANY of the remaining Dusk Elf men, hooked up with any of the women of Vallaki, or the Vistani? I frankly find this proposterous and don't even want to try to come up with a reason to explain it. Taking suggestions on how to fix this particular conundrum.
If the Vistani can travel the mists and come back, and they've lived with the Dusk Elves for so long, why haven't the Dusk Elves learned more about the outside world?
Why do they not have ANY interaction with the druids of Yester Hill? Or other places? The Dusk Elves absolutely were around when all of the druids history happened, in the very same valley, as a colony of druids themselves! I feel like they should have some diplomatic history, if even a reason they don't speak anymore.
I hope this helps you if you're reading this, and it answers any questions you have about the Dusk elves in the Curse of Strahd module. I've included the history of the Dusk elves in terms of development, publications, fan work, and even my own nonsense. So thank you for humoring my fixation on documenting this interesting but underappreciated group in the story!

Still looking for a foster for sweet Elsa! 😩 I don't understand- she's such a little darling. Can anyone open their home to this petite husky girl?
Elsa is a beautiful 41 pound Siberian husky who is about one and a half years old! When you meet her, she definitely gives off adorable puppy energy. Elsa is quick to trust and very affectionate dog with so much love to give. She loves to lay on her back with paws up for tummy rubs, and will even lay down during a walk for snuggles if you’re offering! Uniquely, she loves to play fetch and will happily go off leash and play catch as long as you will. She will match your energy and just wants to be near you and spend time with her family. When comfortable, she is happy to entertain herself with a toy or a bone, and loves to nap at your feet or by your side. She loves a walk and listens fairly well when walking and around others. She loves to meet other humans and dogs but takes comfort in having her own space in her home.
She would do best in homes with teenagers and adults as she is still young and not out of her puppy nipping phase. She's been assessed by the trainer who reports she's a typical husky girl who prefers the calmer play group and smaller dogs. But she can hang with the big ones! She is very social and does well with other dogs at the park and at daycare but we would recommend she not be in a home with larger dogs because she does have a tendency to play a bit rough when she knows she's the smaller one. She does great with her foster brother who is a more dominant 59 lb husky and she's been very sweet with her 25 lb foster brother. 😅 We would love if a foster for her would be willing to work with a trainer provided by the rescue on manners and listening so that she grows up to be a well behaved girl! She is strong willed as huskies often are but she's incredibly intelligent and is a quick learner! She did well in her foster home in CA with a scrappy cat who was able to hold his own but we wouldn't recommend her in a home with docile cats, as she does have a bit of a prey drive.
Elsa is house trained, potty trained and kennel trained. She does well in social spaces with other dogs including off leash dog parks and dog daycares. She also does well in the car.
To meet Elsa for possible foster or adoption, please fill out the appropriate app:

2024.05.01 08:33 Amae_Winder_Eden Is my name a good choice for the future?

Hello there. I’m a trans guy who’s more than considering changing my name to Richter. It’s based off of the Richter scale for earthquakes. I really like how it sounds, and I have been given several nicknames based off of it including Ricky and Riggy. I think it fits me.
My main concern is how will it age? I’ve never heard of someone else using it as a first name, and I’ve literally found someone using Riggy instead. I guess I’m living in the era of unique names so it’s not too unusual, but I’d like to hear your opinions.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I moved in to my student house in September (despite the tennecy starting at the start of July) the first thing we did when we moved in was change supplier from "the student energy company" because their prices were outrageous to Octopus energy. I have been paying bills to Octopus since September and over Christmas had a smart meter put in. But I have just received an email from "the student energy company" asking for almost £1000 between July and September usage when the property was completely unoccupied. I know the heating was off as the boiler and all the lights were off when I arrived in September. I didn't ever create an account with them and the bill has my name on it (miss-spelt) probably what they heard over the phone when I switched month's ago. They are demanding payment by 13/5/24 and I don't know what to do. They want me to transfer to this (down bellow) the whole thing feels like a scam or fraud or something. A)is this real B)can I fight it, there's no way it's almost a £1000 for everything being off for a couple months.
Bank account number: 53317145 Sort Code: 20-07-74 Payee: The Student Energy Group (this would only be required if you need to add a payee name)

What is grunge style and where did it come from?
The grunge style was formed in the 1980s as a counter-culture cover in response to the desire for power and domination and the dominant tendency of the society's people towards material things. If we want to be more precise than its beginning, we should refer to a style of music of the same name in Seattle in the 1980s. In fact, grunge music, which is a sub-branch of rock music, has played an essential role in the formation of this style.
After a decade of the formation of the grunge style, finally in 1992, grunge turned from a subculture into a dominant trend of fashion. In the meantime, one of the famous rock music groups of that period called Nirvana played a significant role in the expansion of this style. In addition to the influence of rock music on the spread of this style, Hollywood movies and American magazines such as Sassy magazine also played a role in promoting the grunge style.

2024.05.01 08:10 BlueberryPopular2802 A quick (nay — long, long) thank you

Just wanted to pop in and thank you guys for sharing your perspectives, and validating or challenging my perspective after I vented about the current state of autistic representation.
After cooling down and taking a step back, I still stand by what I said, but I think a lot of it comes down to intolerance of uncertainty/lack of clarity and my own projections and fears.
For background: I quit social media 4 years ago because I was terrified upon realizing that I’d become obsessed with fitness and sucked into new age spirituality and left-leaning politics because of the pages I followed and the ads I was shown on Instagram. Before that, I’d always been apolitical and active but body-neutral, and seeing how easy it was for my identity and beliefs to shift so drastically based solely on the content I was consuming, rather than lived experience and my personal values really shook me.
So, on intolerance for uncertainty and lack of clarity: As far as I can see, psychiatric diagnostic criteria are often vague and subjective. People’s interpretations of the criteria are quite varied. And yet, people manage to seem so confident that their interpretations and personal examples of these criteria playing out in their lives are it, even if they’d never seen things that way before. But we’ve seen time and time again that people often don’t really understand the criteria (or even just terms like gaslighting or narcissist) and label people and behaviors that should not be labeled as such, and we’re only getting worse with this. Often, inaccurate and oversimplified alternative versions of these terms become almost universally accepted before we have a chance to correct them and get everyone on the same page. And so, they lose their original meaning and it becomes impossible to tell whether what we’re hearing or reading is exactly what we think or one of a plethora of accepted versions that sometimes have little to do with the original (if that makes sense?). All of this makes it so hard to say with certainty whether one is or isn’t autistic. If everything is open to interpretation and analysis by the layman, does it even mean anything in the end? How do we assure that the right people are getting the right information if belief is truth or subjective experience is being made out to be objective? (Yes, some people post disclaimers, but let’s face it, followeview count and repetition are the new stamp of legitimacy) TL;DR: It feels like we’re losing sight of what autism actually is and creating a host of issues for already-diagnosed *and actually autistic people who have yet to be diagnosed, while simultaneously opening the door for people to be misdiagnosed with autism. I’m not a fan of elitism but do think that in this case, giving the layman the power to decide what autism is and isn’t just makes a mess of things.*
Now, onto my own projections and fears: Many of us have an awareness of social media’s “echo chamber” effect, but even with that awareness, I didn’t realize when I was caught up in echo chambers until I took a step back. I think most of us are subject to varying degrees of influence, so what we believe needs to be brought into question. I also know all too well how easy it can be to force beliefs to fit your reality so you can hold onto a sense of belonging to a group. Is this “flaw” inherent to everyone? No? I don’t know, I can’t say, but I know it’s not unique to me, and reports of how social media (or general community affiliation, really) affects us seem to suggest otherwise. So, I always have this fear of “what if I’m unknowingly adopting beliefs of the most prominent late-diagnosed voices because my desire to belong is stronger than my grasp on reality?” Well, I’ve caught myself regurgitating that self-diagnosis is deemed valid by “the community” when I actually disagree (and who even is “the community?!). And I’ve adhered to rules like “the community” prefers identity-first language when I don’t really care. And I’ve slapped a socio-political lens onto how I see autism even though it’s not how I choose to see things in other aspects of life (and it irks me to be force-fed these perspectives everywhere I go). TL;DR: What was the point of this life-changing late diagnosis if I’m pretty much feeling compelled to “mask” w i t h i n the autistic community? How many others are being alienated by this? How many “members of the community” actually only identify with autism because of all the extra socio-political stuff? So many questions I feel I wouldn’t be plagued with if we could just focus on a u t i s m (like, that’s already SO much information to sift through and a variety of presentations to be explored!!).
Anyway, this was supposed to be a clearer, less emotional rant, but I guess I can’t simplify something so complex. Abstract thinking will be the death of me 😭 Anyway, sorry for being so long-winded & thank you in advance for your time and thoughts on these musings of a reluctant philosopher!
