Elemental Quills

In Autochton, there are the Cogquills.

In Yu-Shan, and elsewhere in heaven, there are the Star Quills, who sometimes are summoned even onto creation.

In Malfeas, there are the Eyequills of Orabilis, in the Underworld and shadowlands, one can find that the Mist-Quills of Dari have spread everywhere.

In places where neither are appropriate, or where conflicting interests would summon one over the other. Or to bind a contract with a Fae, of any type, one would be well-advised to summon the most primordial of the quills, the elemental quills.   First summoned by the Elemental Servants of the Yozis, in ancient Zen-Mu, where they stoked fires, calmed waves, steadied the earth, hurried gales and grew all forms of life pleasant to the Yozis, these were not like the others.   Each a beacon of the elements of Creation, summoned by the Elementals. Most especially the wily Ifrit, Marids and other Djann, to serve for a set task, and often doing so as a favor to these Elementals, who charged for their assistance a fee of varying degree.   When sorcery was discovered by the Twilight Solar Brigid, the mightiest of these Elementals traded in their favours and coin for knowledge of this new force of essence and magic.   Indeed, the noble and mighty among elementals were so powerful, a law was cast onto heavens that none among them ascend to heights of power between a Lesser Elemental Dragon, and a Greater one.  

Diamond-Court Raksha are named because a salient treaty bound them to their word, signed by Shadow-of-Mars, of the Eight Directions Embassy, upon a quill of this material, bound them, and flayed them for even thinking of betraying their word.

Shadow-of-Mars' Diamond Quill.

An Ifrit quill.

A wood quill or pine quill.

A Djinn quill tormenting a Raksha noble with thoughts of its own impertinence.

A water quill or Marid quill, unleashed
