"We came across two folks earlier today on our walk - Zilans, dressed like they came here from their planet just yesterday. Cait, you should have seen our girl - "Dad! Dad!" she said, "They're just like me!". Heheh, she didn't hold back at all.. ...I.. wonder how we're going to tell her she's being.. You know, raised different."

fog strider doodle spiritual redux, lore snippet in alt text
#art #lore #worldbuilding #eldritch #paranormal
"Yeah, the fog striders? No holds barred, we don't actually really know anything about them. It's some shit straight out of Mist.Where there's fog or bad weather, that's where they can show, but most people don't even really notice them. To their credit though, they don't really tend to make any noise. Far as we know, they ain't dangerous. Anything getting wrecked or any physical mark being left behind is rare, but every now and then SOMETHING happens and SOMEONE either disappears or is found in a state that makes most of the crime scene photos I've seen look tame. Personally, that's more than enough to freak me out. Oh yeah, did I mention they also come in several shapes and sizes? It's not just the big guys, these damned things can get real weird. Needless to say, NOT a fan of having to track and record the striders, and anytime I have to I REALLY hope they don't see us or at least that they don't care."

ever since the tramway stations have been put up, things have only been getting more restless before curfew hours. extra work for police all over the city
#art #fantasy #lore
"The tramway station truly is a modern miracle. At one's convenience, one may simply - and only for a few šehzeinu - obtain a ticket to reach the other end of the city within a moment's notice! now if only they weren't so noisy or expelled so much vapor... I should do something about that..." - Barran Atarakhs Məskharan, famed inventor and engineer

Satebmar-7 redux because the old one was shit design-wise
new one might definitely still need some fine-tuning but i'm far happier with how it looks
#art #scifi #airplane #jet
the Satebmar-7 was an Aegon jet designed to be piloted both by aravrai and ymvir during Ureio's project Arkano. while not being the first dual-species aircraft ever designed, it was the first widely-issued model that made it past the experimentation phase and saw active use as a close air support, with modern variants STILL being used in mixed regions old version

Vandarhēm is a place beyond the northernmost reaches - a place laden with beasts and treachery that none of sound mind may call home. 'To Vandarhēm the sane go seeking and fro the mad come weeping.' And yet, it is there where some of the known world's oldest secrets lie.

little worldbuilding thingy about changelings for a DnD campaign i'm in, creation myth 2-parter in alt texts
#art #fantasy #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #medieval #changeling #istilldon'tknowhowtousetagshere
"...Regarding the curious practices of the changelings, it is among those who have not left the caravans where the clarity of their religion lies. Those who have imbued themselves within our society and which are found often appear to forsake their ways, or consider them only in such secrecy wherein none may truly know their inclinations. I have recently had the luck to persuade a local caravan to divulge some of the detáils on these matters and have come to the following conclusions: Many changelings honor and revere a certain 'traveler' who appears sometimes as an empty man, a force which cannot be understood or an assortment of beasts, typically a spider, fish or a strange and blind waterborne serpent; among many others. There are many tales and myths regarding the manner in which the world came to be according to changeling thought, which vary greatly in what they present. The version i was presented with posits it as such: The traveler was the first being, a man with no face who lived in a vast darkness. He could not bear this fate, so he took a piece of his bone and molded the first stone, which he lodged into 4 corners, creating the caverns and mountains. he explored his creation yet thought it unfinished, thus, he took his skin and laid it across much of the land like a pelt, creating the grasses and trees; likewise taking his tears, from them creating the waters of the world, along with breathing the winds and clouds into the empty skies. In continuing his exploration he grows content with what he has made, for the skies are beautiful, the world is lush, the waters glimmer. Yet, despite it all, he was still alone. A decision is made, and the traveler then proceeds to pierce his own flesh, shaping it like clay to create the beasts that roam the world today. The world rejoiced with life, yet the traveler's fate remains unknown. A variance of ideas persist regarding his whereabouts. Some say he continues to explore the world, now finally in true happiness, others claim he sacrificed every part of himself to become the very world on which we exist; some say he lives on through our own being, with the changelings made from his heart, thus being the closest to himself. The unknowable nature of his contemporary existence is one of the more common factors within the diverse practice of changeling thought, and is rather free to interpretation." - Galu Markaius in his "Codex of the World's Peoples"

#dnd #dungeonsanddragons #art #fantasy
clockwise from the top: Hars "Scarecrow" 'Chatter' - a money-hungry, mindfucky changeling bard with a tongue and heart of silver Weiliks Shuruk gil Batun - a gnome barbarian, very no-nonsense, to the point, with a hardline belief in "might makes right" and that his clan of Weiliks can do no wrong Etmer Abassier - a grizzled human ex-smuggler navyman turned clockwork one-man-band with a debt to a criminal syndicate Dhatti Panam Deghari - a posh, petty and aggressively classist yuan-ti aristocrat rogue with severe external image and validation issues

a Vurskael and his Dun-Shi servant headed about town buying various goods and necessities
#art #lore #worldbuilding #aliens #scifi
it is not an uncommon sight in a number of clans around the great seas, especially farther along the east, to see many Dun-Shi being relegated to servants or slaves. they are a species that is anomalous by the standards of every other creature on Urvenk. they only possess 4 limbs instead of 6, 2 eyes instead of 4, wear a strange carapace on their backs, behave and emote differently from the Vurskael, and even bleed an entirely different color - no other beast in the world is like them. many individuals and factions observed these as demonic traits and deemed it wise or morally correct to bestow them with subservience; giving them the widely-adopted Vrina title of "hunna-skansu" - "boundworker". there is great controversy regarding this in talks between other planets' administrations, as even some of the clans and unions with support from above partake in this system of slavery
