Aisels

Written by Sterrestel

An umbrella term for aisleck and aisri, the term has soon come into its own mortalis as well. With the mingling of aisri and aisleck, aisels are born of the two.

Aisels, Aisri, & Aisleck

The Primary Mortalis of Yudryae

Created by Nova in the image of Dresden Luro, aisels are the magic-users of Alatheia and the most common mortalis on the planet. Their abilities range from spellcasting to powering vessels.

Aisri draw power from within themselves and from forces of nature such as the moon, water, or the sun. They are the spellcasters, potion brewers, and energy readers.

Aisleck draw power from vessels in the world around them, such as amulets, weapons, and even buildings. They are the alchemists, enchanters, and architects.

Aisels are able to draw power from both internal and external forces. They often have affinity with one or the other, but both are possible. They are the bridge between the two and they are a perfect example of how well their culture works to provide for all, regardless of their sources of magic.

Aisel Naming Traditions

Example: Maescia Virwen Kalyso

First Names

Aisel first names are the same as any other first name. They are either given to an aisel at birth by their parents or chosen later on by the aisel themself.

Second Names

Second names are also given to an aisel at birth by their parents. It is less common for an aisel to choose their own second name, however, it is possible. Not all aisels have second names.

Last Names

Aisels with children are the only aisels to have last names, taken from their partner.

Family Names

Family names are more similar to a typical last name. Aisels often do not introduce themselves with this name attached, unless they wish to legally or formally introduce themselves. They are used more often in legal documents, such as wills, land ownership, etc.

Sometimes aisels that do not have a second name will choose to use their family name as such if they wish to strongly represent their family heritage, honor a family member passed on, or are the last living member of their family name.

These names can also be removed completely for a fresh start if the aisel wishes to detach themself from their family, or they have been cast out of their family. Their second name then becomes their new family name as well.

Descendant Names

Aisels that have children with another will often take on their partner’s family name as a typical last name or a new family name.

Example: Loradove Lei Kalyso, Farrow or Loradove Lei Farrow, Kalyso - A/N

If the parents choose to take on one family name, then the child takes on that same family name regardless of their parents' last names.

If the parents choose to take on different family names, then the child may choose which will be their family name and which will be their second.

It is common for aisel parents with different family names to leave their children without second names to allow them to choose their descendant names, as well as still have space open for a last name should they ever wish to use it.
