Rylmar

(a.k.a. Hope)

Rylmar is an aspect of Lithmor and one of the mental aspects. Rylmar consists of the emotions of aspiration and hope, but also of dreams themselves. In general, Rylmar deals with positive imagination as opposed to Felryth, aspect of Zalikar, which deals with negative imagination (fear, anxiety, nightmare). Rylmar has a consciousness within their plane which is a splinter of the whole of Lithmor's mind. It possesses the mind and tendencies of this part of Lithmor.

Rylmar's Plane contains all hopes, aspirations, imaginings and dreams of every living lifeform and can be beautiful and wonderous to navigate. It lets these dreams interact with each other in unexpected ways, partially affecting dreamers. As Rylmar's Plane exists within her mind, Lithmor is aware of everyone's greatest aspiration, hopes, imagination and dreams. Despite being sealed away, she is still able to influence the world from this plane by affecting the dreams occurring in people's minds.

Rylmar's manifestations are fairly common throughout Accia, but are particularly common in the valley. Those who utilize Rylmar's magic by Racial Magic or otherwise tend to possess one or more quirks or tendencies of Rylmar.

Racial Manifestations

When Lithmor gifted all lifeforms with her magic, each life form was capable of receiving two gifts. Each of these blessings would grant the lifeform a connection to a specific aspect and this connection could be utilized in a given way. These gifts were passed down to their descendants as well and eventually beings came to call these gifts Racial Magic. These are named by the aspect a caster is connected to and by how they can use it, how they manifest their connection.
