Chronopia Elves - Warrior of the Sun figure:
A closely guarded secret among the Lotus Blessed, the
Elixir of Binding is a rare gift offered to only the bravest
and most valiant warriors in the Elven Court. When a worthy
warrior Elf has attracted the attention of his Duke, he
is afforded great praise and riches. When a warrior distinguishes
himself beyond the ability of the court to adequately reward
him, his name is submitted to the Lotus Eaters for consideration.
To have ones name submitted to the Lotus Eaters for judgment
is one of the highest military honors one may receive, an
honor that in and of itself brings great recognition not
only to the warrior but to his family and to his house.
If the Lotus Eaters find the warrior truly worthy, he undergoes
a very public ritual that lasts for 33 days. On the 33rd
day, the warrior is offered the Elixir of Binding, a potion
made primarily from the extract of Red Lotus whereupon he
enters a fugue state lasting for up to 24 hours. At the
end of this period, the blessed warrior awakens touched
by the power of the Red Lotus and one step closer to eternal
honor in the eyes of the angered Elven Gods.
These Warriors of the Sun are heroes among the people of
Helios, great warriors and survivors of the kiss of the
Red Lotus. Accorded great honors in a ceremony presided
over by Duke Helios, the Warriors are given difficult assignments
and charged with the most important tasks. Having one assigned
to your army is considered a sign of great favor and a positive
omen for the Elven warriors.
