Hello, dear Vilous fans! We deeply apologize for our absence for a long period of time, because the Creators and Loremasters Coju and Drago were having quite a lot of difficulties in their real life, they were hard-pressed to find situations in which to provide new updates frequently. Luckily, now all of them are getting better gradually in their own regard, and are all soon able to get back on the saddle in order to supply creative submissions again!

And today, in this Lore Update for the first time in a long time, we are happy to introduce a new character, a female Nevrean, Mizori Kodas! The GR resident apothecary, alongside an artwork piece, previously provided over at Mick's Patreon, as well as a healthy and juicy chunk of lore spotlighting various viewpoints, written in a collaborative effort between Mick, Kiki, Coju, and Drago!

Please enjoy the newfound lore on this interesting and quite vast piece of the Gold Ring nation!

Name: Mizori Kodas
Race: Nevrean
Gender: Female
Occupation: Apothecary
Place: An apothecary shop "Shop Kodas", located in Gold Ring
Timeline: Modern era

Various shops selling medicine can be found all over Gold Ring, with some specializing in cooking spices, some in spellcraft supplies, livestock medicine, and others in ointment shops. Among them, this "Shop Kodas" is an apothecary that sells a variety of medicines and ingredients, from daily use to prescription medicines and spellcraft reagents. It's located a little farther back in the arcade, the store's best-selling product is its independently concocted, original pills in paper bags with the store's name on them, which are said to be effective for gastrointestinal problems.

The next best-selling product is a nourishing and revitalizing potion that can be stored for a long time. The colorful medicines in jars and lined up on a shelf would make people enjoy just by looking at those. The company deals not only with ready-to-use medicines, but also with plants, animals, and minerals used as raw materials. Dried Dondoko livers hanging from the eaves, those are said to have a sweating effect and are said to be good for colds after chopping them up and mix a small amount of them in a congee. Because some medications are made from harmful organisms, a doctor's prescription is required to prescribe such powerful medicines.

Mizori Kodas, the storeowner, is one of the people of the first generation of immigrant Nevreans, she originated in Nev Mountains. According to her, she had considerable difficulty in getting a job because she is Nevrean, a race that was not yet common in Gold Ring at the time. While many of her fellow countrymen were living in rugged life as their lives were unstable, they asked her to take over scrap materials from a warehouse that handled food end materials.

Based on these materials, she processed medicines for daily income to eke out a living. Eventually, she began visiting vendors around the city to select and process food scraps, and this led to being the primordial form of today's Shop Kodas. Since she was not able to speak the language of Gold Ring, it was common for her to get turned away at the door. However, her knowledge and judgment for formulating precisely for individual symptoms were recognized before long, now there's no one in the industry who doesn't know her name. Today, her shop is a familiar one that has become an indispensable part of the community.

Kiki's +$5 Patreon supporters can peek and enjoy quite an amount of undecided and raw concepts, as pre-viewing and pre-reading for the ever so eager fans! Thank you! This time around, it is providing background situations of how the Creators have built up Kodas Mizori’s story and went on to more detailed, in-depth concepts related to the early days of GR resident Nevreans and various medical situations of the Eltus races.

Also, there is a small mention of how family naming systems work on Tal. You may be wondering how that system is in place on Tal, we may answer it, however, before a firmly decided lore is set in stone, there needs to be more discussion before publishing in full!

Kiki's Patreon subscribers can take early access to that raw concept that is still in the preparation stage!

[+$5 patreon supporters post and Pre-reading the raw concept!]
