☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Biba and Boba ask Erephir to design accessories for their additional rune slot (which are indestructible with the Patriarch's rune) and head to Grace to delight Belyana with interesting "fuckts."

Interesting facts from Beata:

• Only three colors are enough for any painting—red, yellow, and blue. These are the primary colors, from which you can mix almost anything!
• To mix absolutely anything, you need two more colors—black and white. But you can manage without them! For black, you can mix all three colors, and a clean sheet of paper will play the role of white.
• But this trick won't work with all paints! Watercolors, for example, work perfectly because they are very transparent and airy; you need a very thick layer to cover the paper. However, oil paints are very thick and heavy—so much so that they are painted on treated canvas rather than paper. Here, you cannot do without white paint.
• The simplest mixtures are secondary colors. If you mix yellow and blue, you get green; yellow and red make orange; and red and blue make purple!
• And you can mix tertiary colors too! This is when a primary color is mixed with a secondary one. Yellow-orange, blue-violet, red-orange, and so on.
• And from these colors, you can create a color wheel! A very convenient and useful thing.

A color wheel isn't just for hanging on a wall to admire. It is an important tool that helps select beautiful colors for an image.

You can do it like this. This will be a monochromatic scheme. One color, then. Simple and tasteful.


And this is an analogous scheme, where several close colors are taken.



This is a complementary scheme! It provides great contrast. Contrast is very important for making a painting bright and striking!


And even cooler is when the scheme is split-complementary. This is when we take an analogous scheme and add a contrasting color to it! This creates the most stunning and expressive accents. Here, though the image turned out a bit crooked.


There is also a triadic scheme. This is when three colors are taken from across the wheel. This also turns out very beautiful.


And the rectangular scheme, the most complex and most interesting! This is a full play of color!

Interesting facts from Guillon:

• The record time a person has spent without sleep is 264 hours, which is 11 days. This record was set a couple of decades ago by a student of the Margel Art Academy. Since then, exam requirements have become more lenient, and students no longer need to set such records.
• The longest breath-hold underwater without magic is 24 and a half minutes. This record was set by a professional diver from Marcella.
• A forester from Villia survived seven lightning strikes! Ordinary lightning, not spells.
• The highest dive into water was performed by a Northerner from a cliff 59 meters high.
• Once, a young man from Renn was put in a prison cell and forgotten about. He spent 18 days without food or water and managed to survive!
• The strongest could be considered a weightlifter from Minua who lived about fifty years ago. He managed to lift a barbell weighing 2844 kilograms—almost three tons!
• I was once in an airship accident, and after that, I became interested in the subject. It turned out that several years ago there was a massive accident, as a result of which an airship fell from a height of 10160 meters. Incredibly, one of the female passengers survived the fall! She suffered many injuries and remained unconscious for nearly a month, but eventually recovered fully.
• The deep-sea diving record belongs to a girl, again, from Marcella. Without magic or any additional equipment, she was able to dive to a depth of 253 meters.
• There is a Kridean who sat in ice for almost two hours. Then he climbed a mountain for seven kilometers wearing nothing but shorts. A very hardy guy.
• A Wallen stuntman learned how to catch cannonballs with his bare hands. On the first attempt, he lost three fingers on one hand, but after that, he was never injured again!
• In Luensia, there is a brilliant scientist who calculates hundred-digit numbers in her head. She knows 22514 digits of Pi after the decimal point by heart. She also knows 11 languages. My parents often held her up as an example for me.
• An acrobat from Lauria managed to squeeze through a tennis racket. He is called the most flexible person in history.
