A: astrology will have relevance in Ešurassun's culture due to the gods, the geography of the world/wheel, and the fact you can see the vault of heaven from anywhere at all times—including the brightest hours of the day. but this aspect of the world is still mostly a wip

#DecemberWorldbuilders
Last for for our SCIENCE week, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Does your world have astrology and/or astronomy? Is it ever useful for your MCs? Tell me about your stars, friends 👀 ✨

A: not sure if this counts, but in terms of symbiosis, the cetus are creatures (space whales) that create portals between realms. the Ešurssuni have harnessed this migration and hitch rides to other worlds by artificially activating the cetus' portal opening abilities

#DecemberWorldbuilders
Howdy, #DecemberWorldbuilders! What are some symbiotic or parasitic relationships that occur in nature in your world? Feel free to interpret this one broadly and talk about a character with a parasitic personality, if you prefer😁 Don't worry, I'm not grading you on how much biology is in your world!

finally understanding that i can be/am aromantic was like unlocking a sense of true enlightenment about why i've been more drawn to writing relationships that blur the non-existent line between platonic & romantic lately

A: the most notable disease on Ešurassun is necromancy. unleashed by the fall of the Tower of Laverna, necromancy is an infection that causes necrosis where necromancers must "pour" their excessive life energy into corpses to keep from necrotizing into a state of living death
#DecemberWorldbuilders
#DecemberWorldbuilders
Good day, #DecemberWorldbuilders. Does your fictional world have any notable or unique diseases, medicine, or vaccination processes? What is healthcare like in your setting? Have your characters had to deal with a disease?

A: Ešurassun is a sword, sandal, sorcery setting roughly equivalent to neo-babylonia. their tech level is actually behind other realms in this world. the most progression has been made in terms of inter-realm transport, agriculture, & medicine—WRITING* doesn't even exist yet
#DecemberWorldbuilders
#DecemberWorldbuilders
#DecemberWorldbuilders! What is the "level" of technology in your fictional world? Is it a low-tech fantasy? A high-tech sci-fi? Or something in-between? Maybe something outside the tech progression of human history. Did they invent anything ahead of us in time? Any inventions suspiciously absent?

A: the deuteragonist is inspired by Tapputi-Belatekallim, the first recorded chemist. in Ešurassun, chemistry is a form of magic where thaumaturges brew potions imbued with divine energy. palace chemists (perfumers) are assassins retained for their skills with poisoned stills

Yap at me, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Does your world have any chemists or alchemists? Are they living at the time of your characters' journey or are they ancient history? What did they discover? What *is* chemistry or alchemy in your setting?

A: evolution mostly; and while there are gods, they aren't "the" creators. evolution resulted in anthrokith and alethokith. witches, on the other hand, are believed to be some kind of cursed genetic anomaly due to their drastically different appearances from the kith
#DecemberWorldbuilders
#DecemberWorldbuilders
Hello, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Tell us about the creation of your people according to the in-world lore. Were they created by gods? Did they evolve from single-celled organisms? Maybe a bit of both? Maybe they don't know, and maybe they have stories about it. What are their creation myths?

A: sort of. there are no institutes of science on Ešurassun, but anyone who wants to participate in "research" can become a palace perfumer (chemist) if free, necromancer if infected, and lector priest if a temple slave or elite who binds oneself to a temple

#DecemberWorldbuilders
Welcome to the first week of #DecemberWorldbuilders! This week is about SCIENCE (broadly speaking) (you can play along even if you're writing pre-industrial fantasy!)
Today's Q: Can anyone in your world participate in scientific research? Or is it reserved for elites?

obviously i'm not the first to realize it, but you can't understate just how pivotal pre-5th ce. greco-roman slavery is to christianity & our modern conceptions of gender, labour, and ethnicity. i need someone to resurrect aristotle & philo so i can kill those old men in cold blood
