Announce Post #3046: Seal of Harmony 2020

Autoposter

Six months following the conclusion of the Trial of Justice, the citizens of the Basin once more gathered to see who would claim the Seal of Harmony. Twenty-five orators traveled the length and breadth Lusternia to spread their influence to as many denizens as they could in one hour. From the very beginning, Jolanthe Myeras of the Serenwilde and Thalkros n'Lochli of Magnagora tore away from the pack, constantly trading places in the rankings and seemingly ensuring that the Seal would go to one of them. Yet out of nowhere, Kalas Malarious of Gaudiguch rocketed through the rankings and snatched the lead. As quick as his rise had been, however, Malarious slowly began to lose his stranglehold on the rankings and gradually fell once more behind Thalkros and Jolanthe, who steadily increased her lead until her ultimate victory was assured. Congratulations Jolanthe, holder of the Seal of Harmony!

Jolanthe

I was told I'd be fully disqualified from the Beauty Seal running, but I'm still pretty proud of my first tattoo. And since it is woefully hidden away in a cartel rather than in the public listing, I can't help but give it a little spotlight. Here's hoping to many more gorgeous, dragon-themed designs yet to be seen!

Examined:

Chaotic swirls of black and silver coalesce within the centre of this

tattoo, where a sense of violence pervades the intensity of the lines

that radiate and spiral away. As they fan outwards, the forms of saurian

limbs and serpentine torsos take shape amidst the muddied hues. Vivid

garnet claws swipe towards a brilliant opalescent flank, barely

appearing to miss as blurred sienna grazes past argent scales in a

frozen frame of motion. The image continues to grow more crisp and clear

along the periphery, erupting into two distinct draconic forms in

visible pursuit. The lower dragon is near black, accented with a

sanguine red that ripples along the reflections of her scales, while the

rising dragon arching over her is a steely silver streaked with

sapphirine accents. Each draconic visage is strikingly detailed and

rendered: the dark dragon possessing a stern snarl and an intense

gravity in her eyes, while the bright dragon exudes derisive laughter

and playful condescension through his open jaws. Faint glints of light

eddy through the inks via meticulously applied powerstone dust,

promoting a sense of perpetual motion as the two remain locked in an

endless hunt animated by winks of glimmering garnet and sparkling sapphire.
