They are but a tiny part of the world and one of the main point of view inside Urkist. Their story take place at the dawn of the Guild, as their lives intermingle with the affairs of this fledgling nation

Hey wanna see the new page for the screamdead? #fantasy #Urkist
A page of some sort of bestiary about a small costal dragon witht this description : Tiamti Small-sized and webfooted dragons. This specie is found all around the Gulf of Djol. Not really aggresive nor fearfull, they are known to steal unattended food. It has been reported that some tried to steal pets. Nesting on cliffs they stay out of danger, if needed they spray a saline solution to try and make an escape. Capable of drinking fresh and saltwater
Little fella that spit salt 🧂
(it's an equivalent to seagulls) #Urkist

WEAVING Weaving is a spell art founded on intention. It’s similar to glyphs but based on instinct, like doing calculus in your head rather than on paper. Spells are unnatural alteration of the world, fuelled by intention what make them possible is the usage of Maana or Alcaali. Learning a new spell is about understanding the orders needed. A difficult feat since most beings inherently weave with instinct. THE 3 FAMILIES Summation spells manifest the chaotic aspect of Maana or Alcaali to do the impossible Elemental Spells reshape the fabric of the material world like clay Focalization spells concentrate Maana or Alcaali to influence yourself and your suroundings Unrelated to the families another distinction is made: Those using Pure Maana/Alcaali, to distort the world in strange ways but never affect inorganic things. (magic missiles, shield) Those using Elementaly infused Maana, to alter the fabric of the world but can’t affect living beings (any spell using 1 of the element)
Important aspect of magic in #Urkist
What's a spell?
GLYPHS First paragraph : The art of glyphs is a type of etching, they contain elemental spells and can be activated by imbuing enough Maana in the glyph. These spells are written along a segment, from start to finish it make a temporality. By adding orders to a specific point on the line we create steps the spell has to follow. Paragraph at the center: To prolong a spell or make it delayed we need to add fillers orders that doesn’t disturb too much. But it demand more Maana and can destabilize the spell the four elements : Mineral, Energetic, Hydraulique and Aerial Second paragraph : But the spell need to affect an element. Next to the line we add one of the symbol. Finer details like the type of liquid, gaz, mineral or energy are generaly defined by the spellcaster but can be specified in the glyph. It’s a quick and easy way to cast a spell, but also needy in energy. Since the target of the spells are very specific they tend to create what they affect. Or else they are made really generic to limit the Maana usage. Text for the glyphs at the bottom : Typical Fireball glyph, segments are not necessarily straight lines
Glyphs are the equivalent of spells crolls and can be used on items to make magical relics or on someone #Urkist

Some people etches their body to create glyphs capable of being activated at will. Poorly made etchings can sometime degenerate causing a Glyphic trauma. Causing chronic pain and sometime effects related to the glyph’s spell. This can also happens with too much exposure to Alcaali, marked individuals may develop similar trauma with overgrown markings Generic fire breath glyph Wound from a spell festering into a glypic scar Glyph starting to degenerate Overgrown horn markings
Some time magic can harm you #Urkist
Parasitoid slime only present in the floating jungles. They stay dormant in the diggestive system during a long time, stocking ressources before waking up, growing one spike at a time, piercing the host from the inside. This is often lethal for small animals and as the carcass decay it break free and rise in the sky where all the flying skimmers feed. Eventually causing them to crash down, a nice banquet for the ground dwellers.

A merchant based in the South of the Micutia, at Hooltaire a City hub for traders and all sea farrers heading to Galoth Their very flesh is made of gold but their wealth come from their expert craftmanship in glyphs and forge. Unbothered by schemes and power they seek to keep their real treasure safe, 10 spouses they cherish and take care of. By attracting the sympathy of the spouses Cororis might reconsider previously refused requests
I had this idea for a merchant character but in opposition to the cold and calculating archetype, a litteral Heart of gold Cororis

Maana is a ressource and like all ressources it’s sometime more effective to extract it from other. However the majority of Maana parasites aren’t actively parasiting, and are more like accidental parasites. As they absorb Maana from their surrounding they drain it from other living organisms too (even plants can be parasites)
Last time i showed a specific specie, this time it's a more general behavior #Urkist
Land invertebrates similar to jellyfishes found all over the world. A major part of their sustenance is extracted from chemical reactions using Maana the rest is from more regular sources

Draconids I recently encoutered another sapient specie, I have never seen them In my homeland. They look like scaly humans, surely they are part of the dragon family and evolved to look humanoid. Generaly known to be resilient and strong Males and Females look alike. They’re found all around Urkist sporting a lot of variety in their appearance Draconic Features Every individuals are remarquably unique, two draconids, even from the same family can have big differences like horns, tusks, a tail or whatever else.I am not sure why but their body seem to develop unique traits sometime even magic ones(markings). Traditions As their sense of smell is better than humans and avians, draconid communities use fragrances as a way to express their identity and gender. Lack of smell is a big stygma in those places. Another common thing in all draconid groups is the creation of one scarf like clothing for newborns, this cloth is keept throught all their life, It’sa really important part of their identity
Draconid ethnicities Different types of Draconids not counting draconic features Azure Mainly from the Floating jungles Commonly blueish scales without patterns Sandpops Mainly from the deserts of the Est Really warm colored scales Hairs seem to be less common but frills help to regulate temperature. Grassfolks Mainly from the grasslands and forest Often covered with camouflage patterns
Last post about the redesign, updated pages about the draconids, now they don't just look like blue humans ! #Urkist
