#Lorevember Day 21

All peoples of Argemi have rituals for their newborns, usually a period after birth, which can range from a few days to even years. For Duernine, it is when the baby first opens it eyes and looks around with a "lively curiosity".

This is when the "First Dusting" occurs. 1/

A white-furred Doran rabbit dedicating their life to hunt the sharks that devoured their lover & took half of their hand. Unable to wear their wedding ring, hanging as a reminder around their neck.

Argemi anthro-sharks are a native sentient race, who have no care for mortals, and see them as food.

#Lorevember Day 8 - Myth made by the poor

Myth and the stories people tell often reflect their daily lives and concerns. They can change with social class and region. For the Kobold of Ur'tenik, before Marazia Unification, this was a common thing. Dreams of being saved by their long lost demigod 1/

#Lorevember Day 7 - Prison

The archipelagos of The Refracted off the South East coast of the Sun-Plains are home to many tiny islands.

At the loss of her wife, and the burning of The Toothed Citadel, Linn Moorbound made an oath to Va'karya, The Goddess of Blood, for vengeance. She was more than willing to give her life, for those who lost theirs.

A sacred ritual of Va'karya seals the oath.

The banners that hang from Doran fortresses & castles do their best to indicate their purpose and devotion. Many of these are abstractions that the common person couldn't derive specifics from, but for those that are able to decipher the symbols, it can say a lot from afar.
