15) Dropping some non furry oc lore because why not.

This is Zanki and his little baby girl, Ruu. They were supposed to be sphinx but my brain went "but what if...bear"and here we are. They're stupidly large. For scale, Ruu is the size of a full grown shire horse and weights just as much.

Does he wrap it around his neck like a scarf? Cause it looks like it would make a very warm scarf.

14) So remember that trickster god the academy was keeping under wraps? Our boy, Vincent, is the unlucky fellow tasked with looking for Avanii and he hates it. Avanii on the other hand is very fond of Vincent and usually enjoys seeing if he can get Vinnie to go along with his impulsive schemes

13) So remember when I said no one knows where Ash comes from. That was a lie. The higher ups in the academy know (The council members and the Grand Mage.) The academy has a strict monopoly on the processing, distribution and application of Ash.

the Af-kin is kept in an ice bath until the talisman is fixed. When an Af-kin dies, the traditional burial process is basically boiling the body until it evaporates. Usually, when the body is fully melted into water, some of the water is put into crystals, frozen and given the family members. (3)

Wet noodle creatures with water insides. They're kept in a partially solid block of ice for a few months until their insides solidify then a talisman is embedded into their chests or back to keep everything frozen inside. The talisman isn't easily damaged but it by chance it is damaged...(2)

12) This is a stray Af-kin fact that will not leave my head. So Af-kin are Fae, pointy ears, elven looking, the whole deal. Expect their internal systems, organs, skeleton etc, are made of ice. So they can't live in hot climates for a long time. When they're born, they're basically...(1)

it's an elected position and there are only 4 seats on the council. The Grand Mage is the head of the overall academy and is also the kingdom's magical advisor. The position of Grand Mage is usually given to the apprentice of the previous GM.(4)

Each person has a role in the academy and they can either choose to ascend to a higher position or stay were they are until they retire. There are 7 major roles: Pages, Scribes, Archivists, Scholar, Professor, Council member and Grand Mage. Most never get up to Council member since...(3)

the patron god. (We are gonna focus on the Beastkin academy.) The Beastkin academy is called Acran’s School of the Arcane and it's the temple of Kayvano. They mostly specialise in theoretically magic research and information gathering. Basically it's one big magical archive...(2)

11) There are magical academies because of course I couldn't resist adding them. There are many schools across Ufmarr that teach magic but there are only 3 major magic academies assigned to the 3 magical races. Each academy serves as both a learning facility as well as a temple for... (1)

And that is how we got Avanii. They're the god of primal urges and instinct who was brought back to life using the body of a dead kobold. They are also a trickster god. Their existence is kept a secret. (2)

10) Many believe that it is impossible for a god to come back to life because it would involve prolonged exposure to the Bones which is known to cause rapid mental decline to those who don't have to proper training. But one poor soul was determined to try,even if it meant losing his mind (1)

Side note on the last part of point 9. There is definitely some reincarnation fuckery happening between those two.
