I just had four days of productivity in writing and my writer's website, now I have a full on two weeks of real life work.
But at least I have time to get further through SoS while I'm on the train. Things are starting to get properly intriguing now 👀

OMG, Soulwax Pt. 2! What an awesome choice.
Destiny's Child vs 10cc is still my favourite mashup of all time!
(Closely followed by Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine "Doctor Pressure" by Phil n Dog)

#Ellamir is set amid a localised rejection of the bigotry which has long haunted the kingdom. The interesting point is, has this rebellion against the expectations of polite society been engineered? Its causes can be traced back to a single event, and that was brought about by one species...

What an amazing little insight. Or maybe a big one. I very much hope Ashrah gets her wish

So it's hardly surprising that humans have developed their own myths about elves which do not paint them in a good light - they steal children, they can turn you insane with just a look, they are waiting for the right moment to invade and dominate the mortal plane - none of which are true

Elves are immortal and supernatural, which few humans can get their heads around, and more adept at magic. They exist on several planes, in one of which they are the dominant species so it is considered "theirs": humans enter it at their peril. Many elves do not consider humans to be civilised

The elves also have a deferential gesture upon meeting, but not gendered - all genders (there are agender elves) perform it similarly, and it can also be coded. Theirs is like a short snatch of interpretive dance: one leg steps back, lowering the torso, and a flourish is made with the hand.

Bowing or curtseying is, of course, critical - you bow/curtsey upon meeting (and sometimes parting with) someone of equal or higher status than you, and this action can be coded - how deep or long you bow/curtsey, with which facial expression - to convey what you really think of someone
