Description
In recent centuries, Ashtearul's more commonly seen using the form to the left but in earlier times, when he inherited oversight of Orinacria’s upkeep, he took on a rather traditional appearance. The temple does some funny things to its keepers. Hallucinations and morphing appearances are one of the many games it plays on those who inherit any level of sensitivity to its conscious walls and the hallowed ground it rests on. The form on the right is reminiscent of Ashtearul, and the Oriancari race itself, before the age of human occupation, and is a testament to his archaic bloodline. The closer he gets to the temple, the more frequently it might replace his current one. It kind of happens like a play on the eyes, often during moments of element use ,one moment it might flicker on and the next he’ll be back to his original stature. When it initially happens, the people around him just think they’re seeing things.
Of course clothing preferences for these guys vary (some Oriancari, like Path, could care less about fine attire or color coordination), but for him copper always seems to be the color pallet of choice. I threw a burgundy sash on him to match the plumage in his other form but it’s nothing permanent.

This took a little longer than intended, I still think I need to work on painting human faces more. :> But hey, Asht has been around for years and has been in need of a proper reference.
