Got a Name for the Empire, (finally)
Lavosca Cicaérum
Lavoscan Republic (obviously only in name)
Lavosca are the people
cicaérum is "The servant of the electors"
coming from
Cicevo, the elector
and
caérum service
So basically: "the nation where the elected serve the electors"

Hey, hey you! Yeah you! Do you like maps? Alternate history? Sci fi? Head on over to my patreon and *jingles tin cup* maybe become a backer.
Trump fucked over my entire industry and I could use the money.

Swift Wings Shadowed Heart
From rooted strength to gentle fall, a symbol of life that cradles all. What kind of elemental power do you hold? What type of dragon will you ride? Perhaps, you'll be a SKYDUNE? Soon you will find out.

Crudeia is absolutely a Gilded world, and was in fact highly inspired by an English class I took that focused on the US’s gilded age. There are pockets of tranquility, but the world is immediately post-war and ruled in large part by robber barons and oligarchs.

The planet 'Pražská Pláz' (Prague Beach), a terraformed Gaian Paludial of great deserts but also a planet spanning sea of nice, cooling beaches. No sandworms, all macrobiotic life has been imported, and the Peopling of the world has begun in earnest.

A girl with pink hair and shirt,black circular glasses, and a distressed expression, drawn in a plain-ish way
The same girl, but drawn as an Stardew Valley character
The same girl again, but drawn in a more "natural" way
The same girl, but in a pixelart style
Sometimes I like to play with online character designers that have different styles, and try to make the same character in all of them

Haven't shared much writing lately thanks to a busy end of year & because I've largely been focusing on the dice/systems side of things. So, I thought I'd share an idea that kept popping up these last few weeks:
Holidays!

Lines of sight 'screenshots' in player view.
Lines of sight with letter identifier.
Full map sketch
✍️Sketching an open world map for a future blockout.
It's not to scale,
lacks explicit gameplay zones,
is unfinished,
but my design compass feels right.
Expect more iterations in the future!

While book one heads into Chapter 11 the universe keeps expanding!
It’s crazy how the more I write the more questions are raised! Now having to create a whole new aspect of the Sovereign Universe 🤯
Does anyone else find this?

Anyways, those are just two bits of a much bigger world that I'm particularly proud of.
If you're curious about more of my art, just follow along. I post writing and photos a few times a week, with weekends off.
6/6
