But here are some highlights/teasers.


“...and as the skinner explains to her apprentice how best to carve the fallen beast (for it is in this intimacy of care and blades that it is known to her), so She explained to me how the world we know is like this; a skin beneath which are muscles beneath which are bones…”


- From The Whispered Verses: Conversations with Death


“And She set out with her bosom friend Rain (who is her reflection in a million fragments), and together they spoke to those who would rule, saying: Give! Give for in this you have a duty. Sympathise! For you must know the feelings of those you lead and not fall into cruelty. Surrender! One day, you too must die.


“And the great lizard opened his slow eyes, and caught the thunder in his jaws, and spoke back to them: no.”


- From The Whispered Verses: Conversations With Death

I saw a mention of elementals in the beginning when talking about the hierarchy of souls. Is this able to be integrated with Darkening Skies? (And I see you're putting your newfound knowledge of sub-Saharan mythology to good use.)

It's intended for the default setting, since Lama is less spiritually active in Darkening Skies for reasons. Could integrate with some small tweaks based on feedback/necessity.

I take it you'll be fleshing out Coral City and khurasa (as in what differentiates them from a criminal) more later on?

 

[Grey]

Yep, but 3k words was enough for now. If I'm still awake in an hour or two I'll proceed with that.

 

[Cirno]

Oh wow.

BAM UPDATED

 

[Cirno]

Omigod khurasa. *vehement Like*

So I actually slept through the night for a change and now it's 9AM with little enough to do all day, I found this in my Drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zIaBm83X0TLMrWlHUXCLaiMOM6Qq6mRbfbPw5ejvrjs/edit
