Isaia, where the Blackliners books are set, are slightly behind us in technology, but not by much. Think 90s/early 00s. They have modern amenities, but computers&phones are in infancy. They have guns, but they're uncommon due to the use of magic.

Silver avoids entering water as much as she can. She's never learned to swim and has heard plenty of drowning warnings. During book 3, when parts of the city flood, she sticks to the rooftops.

Isaian society as a whole has no problem with revenge, and in some cases considers it a moral good. You can appeal to the Hunters or ruling Lord for permission to kill the guy that killed your [family member], and that's fully legal.

Luca is very morally dark. So long as she gets paid, she's happy to work for anyone and kill who she's asked to kill, with the exception of children. There's been jobs where employers have tried to trick her into killing a child and she's killed the employer instead.

Purple is considered to be the Healers' colour. Healing magic comes in shades of purple, and most Healers wear it. Healing Halls are often decorated in shades of purple. Most non-Healers in Isaia won't wear purple, as it's considered disrespectful.

Green is so strongly associated with Hana and as being House Kandaia's second colour that I don't tend to use it for much else 😅
Hana is described as having emerald green magic, and when angry can generate green lightning, though his gift is telepathy.
It's COLORS week! Tell me about something in your world that's green. This one is probably more common, since green is so strongly associated with nature. Do you have any cool greenery in your world? Or maybe you've used it for an object? Tell me about it!

Gold is traditionally associated with House Kandaia. Gold eyes are common with their family, and gold magic runs in their family line. LK has both, as did his younger son. His eldest niece also has gold eyes.

We're talking about colors in our worlds! Tell me about something in your world that's YELLOW or ORANGE? I find that these two are often underrated/underused in worldbuilding, so I'd love to hear what you have. Maybe something symbolic of the sun or made of gold?

Blue is the most common colour for the glowstone on the Solar Isles. Glowstone washes up from the sea and is found on beaches. When exposed to sunlight, it can glow for a day or so. It's often collected by children and used as decoration.

The old war bunker attached to Saemorne's stone carver's is built of red stone, which was most likely just the colour they had at the time. It's disused now, but was used for shelter and stores during the war.
