Several characters' backstories have either been rewritten or tweaked slightly! Also, we were using the Forgotten Realms setting for the campaign, so turning everything into my own world/creation has been a major change.

—learn about other people and cultures and see that there's more to life than what is inside the walls of the city.
(I'm planning a spinoff series that involves a dogfolk from Behdsi Nasamar leaving, so no further spoilers!)

—the other countries and parts of Asloria, but they do not hold a very high opinion of them for a few reasons. Mainly, people from Behdsi Nasamar do not leave (except for a very select few), so they don't have the chance to—

—honor of serving their "king" when they die (and again, that's all I'll say about that part cuz it'll come up during the series). Their morality basically falls in the same category.
As for education, they ARE taught about—

#AprilWorldbuilders 21: cultural values – morality, education, family
Since I've mostly talked about the dogfolk, I'll continue with them. They don't place a high value on family— their only purpose is to serve their city and hopefully gain the—

April #QueerPrompts 21: did libraries play a role in your love of writing/reading?
Yes! Whether it was the school library or the local library, I spent a lot of time in both as a kid.

#FantasyIndiesApril 21: have others ask anything about your WIP(s)
Go nuts!

I meant to post this yesterday and got distracted. Yesterday was Maestro's 11th birthday!!

Frodo Baggins sits at his desk, reading Bilbo's book.
A merfolk sits on a coral outcrop, reading.
A little Frodo Baggins painting on a Rhystic Study AP - I tried to give the composition a similar feel to the original painting
Fan art of Fjord and jester. The colour palette consists of pinks whites and golds, Fjord receives Jester in their wedding attire. There is a fluttering of rose petals and the picture features part of his wedding speech. "So here is my promise. I will match your mischief with patience, your spontaneity with steadiness, and your boundless heart with one that is forever yours. I will follow you into every storm, every strange scheme, every wild dream, because anywhere you are, that's where I belong. In the quiet mornings and the chaotic nights and the moments where we're laughing so hard we can hardly breathe, and in the ones where the seas get rough and the path ahead is uncertain, I will be your anchor, your partner, and your home, just as you have been mine."
So here is my promise~
I wanted to paint this moment when I first saw it on stream.

April #QueerPrompts 20: lesbian/queer women in your story
Most of the women in my series are queer. Esta and Aliana are both pansexual, and Kasandra is a lesbian. Braelyn is demisexual. Eris, I think, might be ace or demi.

#FantasyIndiesApril 20: what words do you tend to overuse in your writing?
I mentioned this on a #LateNightWrite recently, but I tend to overuse the phrase "raised his/her/their eyebrows" 😆 I also am fond of the words "just" and "apparently".

#LateNightWrite
Braelyn fusses with her hair a lot (hi, it me. I also do this 😆). Like she'll twirl a lock around her finger when she's anxious or bored, and she's constantly having to tie it back when she's out adventuring.

#LateNightWrite
I've been trying to come up with insults & swears for Velimiar to hurl at Braelyn without resorting to the usual English swears, but it's hard coming up with words, so I may have to nix the idea. Quite a few races live across Asloria, so I'm still developing a lot of stuff.
#LateNightWrite
I'm very fond of ellipses and em dashes. According to my husband, I am also very fond of the phrase "raised his/her/their eyebrows" 😆 I had to cut a few too many instances of that phrase from "A Daughter's Hope".

—of a warrior they are. Those who do not fall into either class are considered lower, aka servants. Servants do a lot of the cooking and repairing/building in the city, and for the most part, they are treated fine.
#AprilWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip
#AprilWorldbuilders 19: what jobs/tasks do they do?
Depends on the community. For example, the dogfolk in Behdsi Nasamar are divided up into "classes" (for lack of a better term) depending on how much magic they have or how skilled—

April #QueerPrompts 19: nonbinary/queer parents in your story?
I'm certain there are some queer parents, but aside from the main parents (Brae's and Mathius/Velimiar's), I haven't fully developed every character's family line.

#FantasyIndiesApril 19: nicknames in WIP
Braelyn's main nickname is "Brae". "Jace" is technically a nickname, but a) no one knows that, and b) he refuses to tell anyone what his full name is. Basically, most nicknames are shortened first names.

Some other races, like the catfolk, burn their dead so that their bodies cannot be resurrected and used against them.
#AprilWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writer #fantasy #wip
#AprilWorldbuilders 18: birth and/or death rituals
The dogfolk of Behdsi Nasamar have a death competition every few years to see which souls are worthy of ascending to the afterlife to help their "king" (and that's all I can say on that...)

April #QueerPrompts 18: what award would your character(s) receive?
Malicai would give Braelyn an award for "Best Mom" (with help from Sojna) 😆 and Eris won an award for "D&D MVP" when our campaign ended (I can't wait to share her stories!)
