Soon enough, there were none left who dared to enter Nocturne’s domain. Time has little meaning in that other place, but Nocturne dragged out each and every pursuit for as long as possible, savoring the prey’s anguish before cutting their life’s silvery thread in an instant. It was in pain, and that pain made it cruel, but it quickly acquired a taste for mortal fear. This demonic creature howled within the spirit realm, and set upon those foolish, errant mages who had given it life, thrashing in desperation for an end to its own suffering. Nocturne understood nothing of kindness, honor, or nobility-it was terror made manifest, with none of the restraint necessary to control itself. No one can say for certain whether all this suffering created Nocturne from nothing, or if it merely corrupted a lesser assassin-construct into something more willful and deadly, but the shadowy creature that resulted was one of insubstantial form and fathomless dread. It sapped their morale and infected their dreams, with nameless fears hounding them day and night, driving some to commit ever more horrendous acts against their own kin. The thoughts of mortals everywhere were touched by this darkness. Shadow mages seemed particularly skilled at such things-and so it was, for a time, that they came to dominate the spirit realm, casting it into twilight. Unconstrained by the laws of physical reality, they fought in ways that more mundane minds could scarcely comprehend, even conjuring subtle, etheric assassins to do their bidding. Although no record names the first of them to cast off their flesh and enter the spirit realm, it is known that they came to stalk one another not only on the battlefield, but in landscapes shaped by their own subconscious thoughts and emotions. Towards the end of the Rune Wars, desperate for victory, cabals of warrior-mages sought any advantage they could find over their foes. The greatest of those horrors has a name, and its name is Nocturne. For centuries, the practice of “shadow magic” was all but forbidden across Runeterra, for fear of reawakening the horrors it once unleashed upon the world. While all magic can be dangerous and unpredictable, there are some forms or disciplines that even the most skilled mages and sorcerers will shun, and with good reason. After freeing itself from the spirit realm, Nocturne now continually descends upon the waking world, to feed on the kind of fear that can only thrive in true darkness. It is liquidly chaotic in aspect, a faceless shadow with cold eyes and armed with wicked-looking blades. Thank you for joining me on this journey.A demonic amalgamation drawn from the nightmares that haunt every sentient mind, the thing known as Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure terror. For the past five years, I have been designing and creating handmade garments.Ĭari Slings is a combination of my love for babywearing and textiles. I love and support handmade goods and work at home mothers, for I am one myself. It's a lifestyle, one of keeping our children and family close to our hearts, through our parenting and life choices. Our philosophy is that babywearing is so much more than simply wearing your child. I am mother to three young children, and my husband and I have worn our children since birth almost 9 years ago. It is our desire to fuse our Asian and West Indian cultures with American textiles and babywearing practices. I was born and raised on the island of Trinidad, an island known for its gorgeous landscapes, diversity, culture and food. The name Cari Slings is a tribute to my Caribbean heritage. Our wraps are woven solely with natural fibers and we strive to work closely with our mills to create unique, quality textiles that can be handed down to your children's children. One of mills local to us, keeping with our desire and commitment for growing and sustaining our local economy. We are working closely with two different mills to provide a variety of wrap designs and hopefully soon, fiber choices. We are a small family business located in North Carolina, creating and manufacturing high quality, boutique style machine woven wraps.Īll our products are woven and finished in the US, and we strive to keep our products and labor as local to us as possible.
