...To interpret this pic in a #Lashunta context, this would be a scene from the Age of the Thief-Queens, who were infamous as skull-collectors. She (the thief-queen) has summoned something to deal with the hero. Korasha heroes resisting the Thief-Queens' is a common theme in Lashunta historiy.
...Since #lashunta are ruled by a Damaya Matriarchy, I've set myself a goal to avoid depictions of submissive females. It's not easy. The Evil Sorceress (exemplified here) is one of the few tropes where the female is not shown as submissive.,,

Art by John Bolton - two figures with faces hidden in shaodow. A muscular man with sword held low crouches and turns toward the viewer. Behind him stands a woman with arms outrestched forbiddingly. Behind her lays a pile of skulls.

This selection began as a trial to find a pic for a korasha. By the end, it became a reflection on S&S fantasy stereotypes in how females are portrayed...

As a teaser for next weekend’s Chapter 37, a Lashunta phrase: ~O’romi-ziari hizelya-rualm o ma ziuthama Shaemorea,~ “Yet let us remind we are the afterbears of the Warrior-Queens.” - Lady Zhasael Zolaemaue, High Matron of Son (Lady Vaeol’s mother)

Art by Linda Bergkvist - a butterfly lands upon an outstretched hand. It antennae match the tips of the hand's fingernails.

~Zhoau~ - the Castrovellian butterfly. There are oracles who read prophecies in their flight and their wings' flutter.

...and those unknown, awaiting an unsuspecting explorer to step through, which is rather how Lady Vaeol met Brand and his company of mercenary misfits.
The only question is how these worldgates first came to be. Who made them, and for what purpose?
Art by Adam Paquette - a portal clowns within a broad stone column. Thick vines twine around the opening's rim, growing upward to leafy tops. Within the portal's glowing midst, a humanlike figure appears.

Castrovel, like Golarion, is infamous for its portals: those that both the Lashunta and Elves use to span the world with their travels...

...Not only does she have antennae, she's also a telepath!
Mantis has had a long and complicated character history in the comics. Only in the movie franchise is she a space-alien.

One of the best inspiration sources for a #Lashunta Damaya is Marvel's Mantis, recently brought back to the fore through the Avengers & GoG movies...

...Could this be someone dabbling in ~tiqezhi~ - anathama? There are forces from the Outer Darkness, as personified by Zaulavyaedu - The Dark Adder Beyond - whose perilous gifts bring corruption.
Art by Jason Engle - within a room lit by two superimposed moons, a woman stands tracing symbols upon the right-hand wall; a long ceremonial dagger held in her off hand. At her back squats a glowing brazier, from which smoke rises. From the smoke form a floating anthropomorphic shape, inquisitively observing the unaware woman.

Given #lashunta 's talent for psychic magic, what is going on here? They tend to focus on symbiosis, and not on summoning spirits from beyond...

#pathfnder #pathfinder2e #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding
...Some scholars assert the first major symbiotic event in #lashunta evolution wasn't the bonding with shotalashu (as illustrated in the Legend of Tess the First Queen) but in the prehistoric bonding with the Milk-Trees.
... #Lashunta put a strong value on trees, particularly the ~Eazue~ Milktree, & not only for house-building but as an important food source (they milk trees, not cows) and it has psychically sensitive properties that, over time, allow it to be trained to become a Soul-Tree...

...I've been struggling with concepts of #lashunta treehouse building, ranging from flet-syle platforms among the boughs to dugout rooms within the tree trunk, as shown here. The challenge lies in building these structures, ideally without killing the tree...

Like elves, #lashunta build houses in trees, especially above the Megadendra Jungle's Darkfloor, into a lighter, loftier environment...

Art by Sanjulian - a bladder like alien creature floats with a woman stretch between its tentacles. Slightly below, a man likewise struggles with its tentacle while grasping a ray pistol.

Oh, those pesky skyfishers!

...On that note, how anthroporphic (lashunta-morphic??) are #lashunta gods? To what degree and under what conditions do they resemble their worshippers, or rather the concepts they represent? Interesting topic for a people who worship trees as gods.

Lashunta Word of the Week Utha (/ʊ:θa./; common): child; progeny This word means ‘child’ in the parental sense. When declined to the feminine gender: ~Uthe~ it means daughter; when declined as masculine ~Uthas~, it means son. Compare with the homonym ~Qofa~ - child; youth, in the sense of an immature person. When declined to feminine and masculine respectively, this translates more closely to ~Qofe~ - girl, and ~Qofas~ - boy. ~Utha~ when contacted to ~u’-~ before a consonant or ~uth’-~ before a vowel, is used to form the matronymic in Lashunta nomenclature. Thus ~Vaeol u’Zhasaele~ - “Vaeol Zhasael’s daughter; ~Aeosel u’Vaeoleas~ - “Aeosel Vaeol’s son.” With the addition of the intensive adjective suffix ~-anta~, it becomes the word for pregnant - ~Uthante~ (feminine) Related Terms: Uthassa (com): house-child; stepchild; foster child Uthauma (com): blood-child; child by birth Utheaza (com): children of the milktrees; prehistoric lashunta prior to the Age of Legend. Utheisa (com): matechild; child of one’s wifemate or manmate
