Editing Mothfolk (section)

==Mothkin Art==

The mothkin very meticulously preserve the wings of every Daimyo and Matriarch who has lived and ruled, and these are all displayed in the Agiari of any grouping. These wings are hung in a spiral pattern along the interior of the Sky Hive and serve as a guide for their oral history, using portions of each wing to represent events in a continuous timeline. More modern rulers still carry the vestiges of previous rulers’ patterns on their own wings as a visual reinforcement of their right to rule, while carrying a living record of their people.

Mothkin also enthusiastically engage in calligraphy as a pastime as well as an extension of their oral history. Many mothkin artisans are known to create long, flowing scrolls telling stories of greatness and mothkin pride. They also use calligraphy in the recordings of their alchemical formulae and descriptions of plants, the flowing scripts becoming as educational as they are beautiful. Frequently, the alchemists will synthesize a glowing ink from candleflies for calligraphers, as further embellishment to their writing. This ink glows permanently and is often used in their sacred texts for emphasis as well as embellishment. The results are scrolls, breathtaking to behold, that are illuminated technically as well as literally.
