[What do] Cinnamon? And Spice [look like]?

Welsh (European caucasian) redhead twins discernable from one another only by eye color (Cinnamon = green, Spice = Blue). About 5’9" with a tendency to wear flowing middle eastern flavor sari/sarong/wrapped garb in brighter colors with lots of patterns, but never hoods or anything covering their heads.

Which wife is actually dead? (Sorry, I’m just not sure...)

Cinnamon (Blood) no longer has a material form. Her mortal body was slain by a black mithril morganti meat hook ineptly removed by Dylan Llyr. Having learned from his mistake, Dylan Llyr successfully removed Spice from her meat hook without triggering the morganti effect, therefore Spice can incorporate in flesh. Spice now prefers to perceive Troad from her avatar, in linear time, in mortal form.

Troy never actually married Cinnamon and Spice. They were never interested in the ceremony. Cinnamon and Spice were raised to be pleased merely as honored concubines in a harem of hundreds, so once they became the entire membership of a two-woman harem, they never felt the need to be honored more. Troy has since slept with no other woman, and never with one of the twins alone.

Spice thinks marriage might have been nice, once, but currently she’s pleased not to have any ritual binding to/with any specific member of the various Troy incarnations.

What kind of woman is the living wife? I know that this is a wide open question- what I’m getting at is generalities, like what class if any might she be perceived as, what skills might be apparent, etc. Imagine, maybe, that Melisse were up and walking and compos mentis and had met and talked with her some- how might she seem? (I’ve written something wherein Spice has to take action against Melisse on behalf of LLyr and I’m fumbling in the dark.)

Spice is a woman who grew up trained to harem life and at the age of 17 was (with her twin sister) gifted by her owner, a non-Remo grandfather of assassins) to a 19-year old wizard prodigy (Troy). The women were pampered and isolated from Troad’s dangers (I.E. Iahklu) until they grew tired of such life and convinced their lord to allow them to adventure in his world (Troad) He made them godlike and let them roam, but they eventually grew weary of this and made themselves each a mortal avatar so they could participate more fully in the life of the Troad.

Spice continues to think of herself as a girl rather than a woman. As a pampered concubine, and since her experiences never gave her a human chance to mature emotionally, she is somewhat whimsical and opinionated. She has nearly perfect knowledge of the Troad accumilated over countless aeons of nonlinear/timeless tourism, but no basis to compare Troad with anything but her memories of her birth city in the world she left as a teenager.

When her sister’s mortal existence was torn from Troad, Spice’s avatar became somewhat mentally unstable and demanding of Llyr’s affections, only to be rebuffed. Dylan Llyr, in his obsession to restore Cinnamon’s mortal exitstence, failed to see that Spice needed him more than ever before. Although she loves all Troys without reserve, Spice has no longer is "in love" with Dylan Llyr, nor perhaps can she be in love with any of the mortal incarnations of Troy.

Both Cinnamon and Spice have, in dreams, expressed joyous envy to Chrysofar for her love of the Half Elven One. HEO has never met either, having been born into Troad after the death of Cinnamon’s avatar. Chrysofar is the only entity with whom they have spoken on this matter.

Spice appears as a mature human woman who moves consciously but not self-consciously. She is a woman of experience who speaks with good speed snd weighs her words heavily against the intellignece of her listeners. She never speaks down to a person, and therefore most have to think harder than normal to keep up with Spice. Spice is used to people failing to see her point, and despite refusing to repeat herself, she is a patient woman.

Are either Dylan or his wife musicians?

Troy Ounces’ sister and his brother are both bards, but Troy is not. Troy would have liked to be a musician, but his path led him to Magic User/Monk, and he never attempted to open his intended third class (bard) since the rules of his DMs always appeared to support only two classes for a human PC. In one world where Monk was not recognized or another problem arose, Troy ran a single adventure as a MU/Bard.

Dylan Llyr has worn the Troad Bard Ring from the Class of ’79. Llyr composed countless ballads, two epic poems, one play, and he enchanted numerous powerful musical items while wearing it.

Both Cinnamon and Spice became first edition D&D bards by choice after Troy gifted them with a base seven levels of Monk experience with which to explore Troad. Each twin has, on separate adventures with Iahklus, demonstrated musical proficiency in flute, but nothing more has been explored in front of Iahklu eyes and ears.
