Laetes
The Angel of Joy
Brother to Denarius, angel of Greed


Laetes, the angel of Joy, was the most precious and beloved child of the gods. So beloved was he that he became arrogant, thinking only himself worthy of praise. His brother Denarius, the angel of Greed, seethed with bitterness at this. One night, Denarius cast Laetes from the heavens, condemning him to walk the world as a man for one hundred years. The angel of Joy fell from the light of the heavens through the dark of night, into the mortal world. The shudder of his impact sent ripples throughout the land, but it would take more than a hundred years for the consequences of that to manifest.


Laetes had not even a single coin to his name-but it did not matter. Such charm did he exude, such joy did he bring to every passerby he met that they invited him into their homes, fed him their bread and stew, and protected him from thieves and vagabonds, so that he passed through the border between Amadera and Beldain without harm.

About Rix Eggs

Rix eggs are very soft, almost like a plush toy. They have small feathers that grow out of the outer rim. These feathers can be plucked without doing any harm to the developing creature inside. Great for tickling!

However, if these eggs are squeezed too tightly, they will break despite their seeming malleability.

About the Rix Creature

Rix (plural Ri) are extremely friendly creatures that roam the lower skies of Ark. Their eyes are ultra-bright blue, which gives them the ability to see through some (but not all) objects. This means that a Rix can know what's coming around the corner before it's in view.

Rix are, however, also known for their terribly shrill cry. Their cry is not bad when you're far away, but it is painful when you're in close proximity.

If you are ever visited by a Rix while sitting next to your significant other, your love is considered to be blessed by the Universe.
