I used the first instance of 'stone' that came to mind already, so here's a bit of White Cliff religion.
#WIP #WIPsnips #WhiteCliff #Fantasy #OCart
Image - Drawing of Dimamire Nightshade, a vampire noble holding a dagger. Text - The town square was quieter than it had been the morning before. Vendors were leisurely restocking their stalls, and the festival coordinator was directing workers in setting up for that afternoon's contests. Content that he didn't need to interrupt any of them, Dimamire told Butterscotch to walk. The horse turned lazily towards home, but Dimamire directed him further down the road with both another command and a gentle touch. Butterscotch conceded agreeably and continued on, heading through the town proper, and out into the surrounding farmland. He needed no further direction, as he knew where they were going. But Dimamire gave one anyways, to stop as they passed the shrine to Agri in the shade of the orchard. It was chubby nude figure carved from white stone under a wooden canopy. He dismounted briefly and dropped a silver coin into the bowl at the front of the shrine, asking them to bless the town's harvest. - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, book 1

Control will have to do for 'dominant' today
#WIP #WIPsnips #Fantasy #CharacterArt
Image - Sketch of Sparky, a birdkin in robes, holding up a clawed finger. Text - The dogs switched from howling to irritable yapping. Something rushed into the influence of the magic lamp's light. Something large, hairy, and dark. The two living horses stomped and attempted to turn about. The thing ran past the and circled back as Sir D'Amico and Estella worked to get them under control. It stopped beside Sparky's calm skeletal horse and stood up, revealing itself to be shaggy grey-brown wolfkin, descended from wolves and around the height of a human. He panted lightly, then asked, “What business have you travelers, to be passing by the Witches' Woods so late at night?” “We are headed for the river. . . and perhaps Ebonwald,” admitted Sparky. Sir D'Amico felt a twist in his stomach. He glanced to Estella, her lips were tightly pursed and her eyes wide. “No one goes to Ebonwald on purpose,” replied the wolfkin. - Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, book 1

White Cliff and Ebonwald have been neighboring cities for over 200 years, but they have never been friendly. Tensions are on the rise as White Cliff's Summer Starlight Festival approaches. Will one kidnapping incident lead to all out war?

I wasn't sure if I had this one

Image of Dimamire, a young vampire noble with sandy blonde hair, wielding a dagger. Text - The hood of his cloak shaded his face as Dimamire walked through the town square. All around him stalls were going up accompanied by the sounds of saws and hammers. He did his best not to look irritated by the noise. Or the sunlight. The festival coordinator walked alongside him, assuring him they were making good progress and everything should be ready for tomorrow's festival. He understood why his father had passed this job off on him as soon as he turned sixteen. It was annoying; the sounds, the sun, the excessive check-ins. But there was one perk, he always learned details about event before his friends. “What's the distribution of vendors like?” asked Dimamire. - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, book 1

Squires doing the heavy lifting.
#WIPsnips #WIP #fantasy #characterart #ocart #WhiteCliff
Image of Sherman a dragonkin in golden armor wielding a maul. Text - Sherman stood on tippy toe and leaned to the side, but all he could see were the backs of squires and surrounding greenery. He hopped, “What is it? What's going on? Why did we stop.” “Shush,” replied the wolfkin next him, clawed finger to his muzzle. He was holding his other hand to his furry ear. It twitched. He looked down at Sherman and spoke in a low grumble, “We've come to the river. They're debating how to cross it.” “What do you think they're going to. . .” Sherman started to say, but the wolfkin held his finger up again. Sherman sighed. The wolfkin glared at him. A few tense moments later, a knight on a light grey horse came trotting by. He pulled the rein and brought his horse round, “Squires, get your tools, it's time to build a bridge. - You lot, come with me.” - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, Book 1

The town is called White Cliff after the cliff they've been mining marble from.
#WIPsnips #WIP #fantasy #charaterart #ocart #whitecliff
Image of Desden Nightshade, a pale cambion noble. There's a green and pink lovebird sitting on his head. Text - After collecting Buddy, Desden descended the library steps onto a narrow white cobbled street. It was one of the newer buildings in town, with foundation of local white stone and whitewashed wooden walls. Along with the flowering bushes outside there was a statue carve from the same white stone. It was of a bearded human man holding a journal. Desden would probably have picked a classical author or famous mage, but Bluelore had felt strongly about the academic value of featuring the biologist. Sparky on the other hand had been annoyed they'd picked the human biologist over the lesser known birdkin that had come up with all his most famous concepts first. - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, book 1

Aside from writing and making art, another thing I like is photographing mushrooms.

The Summer Starlight festival was supposed to end with a dazzling magical display by sorcerer Amos Wandson, not his kidnapping!

#WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #dreams #ocart
Image of Sir Argo D'Amico, a knight with locs in sun patterned half-armor, wielding a sword. Sir D'Amico scanned the trees as he walked. He wasn't sure what he was doing in the forest, or even how he'd gotten there. And he knew what that meant. He was in the dream realm. He'd learned to recognize it after meeting Dimamire. Little things would be off. You wouldn't remember how things had happened. And monsters would often take on even more nightmarish forms. That was the part that put him on edge, even though he knew he couldn't be permanently hurt here. He came to a clearing, or rather a clearing appeared. A space with just one tree, an apple tree. This felt familiar. He scanned the treeline, and found what he was expecting. A pale figure stood opposite him, dressed in expensive clothes. But it had no face, save for bloody holes where it's eyes should have been. Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, Book 1

Magical settings are great place for spells :D

Drawing of Amos, a young curly haired wizard in hat, robes, and a gauntlets glowing with magic. “I expect so, that's the most fire sprites we dare keep in one spot,” replied Amos. He set a couple more jars of powder into the box and then turned to look at her, “It's not too hot is it?” “It's fine,” Annabelle reassured him with a smile. She looked down at the jar as she started for the stairs, “Does. . . the spell hurt them?” “I don't think so,” replied Amos picking up his box, “They're not really sentient, just a conglomeration of magic that takes form based on the type of magic.” - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff, Book 1

I have Parried at least:
#WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #vampires #magic #battle #OCart
Image of Gregory Nightshade, vampire noble in dark clothes. Accompanying Text: “And here I'd thought you'd gone soft Nightshade. Maybe I'll have a taste of your nephew after I finish you off, you know how rich noble blood is,” said Coal, swinging his axe around. In reach of Coal, Greg paused, waiting to see if he'd attack first. It didn't happen, so he swung. Coal brought the axe around again hooking the blade and sending it off course. Greg stepped back as the axe swung his way again and parried, cutting a nasty bone deep line across Coal's wrist. Unusually dark blood seeped from the wound. Coal snarled and swung again, their blades meeting in the middle. The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff book 1

No paw, so here's claw:
#WIP #WIPsnip #fantasy #magic #lovebird #ocart
Image of Buddy in both imp and lovebird form. As an imp he wear a blazer and slacks, has bat-like wings, and a scorpion tail. The lovebird grumbled, but took a little hop and dove off his head before flying back up and landing on top of one of the bookcases. He walked to the other side of the shelf, then to the side facing them. He grumbled, “It's a bug.” “A bug?” asked Desden. “Yeah you know, a bug,” replied Buddy, reaching up a claw to scratch his cheek, “It's kind of a pretty one. Big shiny beetle.” “Huh,” said Desden looking to Sparky with a shrug. He strolled around the other side of the stacks, tail swishing. There it was. In the lower corner of one of the windows, a large silver beetle was repeatedly flying into the glass. So shiny it seemed to glow. Desden squinted and adjusted his glasses. He looked back at Sparky, then up at Buddy, “It's not a beetle. It's a metal sprite.” - The Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff book 1

Well, guess who didn't have official character art?
#WhiteCliff #WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #vampires
Sketch of Lord Arrowin, vampire noble holding a chalice. Reaching the top of the stairs he turned and headed for his room. On the tables and walls between here and there were some of his favorite pieces of art; a bone vase from the elfin continent, a portrait of himself done by a long dead court artist, an ancient carving of a heathen god, and a wool rug depicting the moon goddess, imported all the way from the heart of Southson. He turned into the room and removed his thick cloak, laying it over a vanity. Proceeding to the writing desk, he pulled out the chair and sat. He took a moment to consider the color of ink to use. Black would be formal, red would be threatening, and gold would be oh so lavish. - Fall of Ebonwald, White Cliff book 1

Never had your eye wander off?
#WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #magic #WhiteCliff
Image of Lord Trombolt Nightshade, vampire noble holding a drink. He saw his uncle move the hand to his ear, then turn directly to the bookcase his eye was perched on, and swiftly grab for it, shrouding him in darkness. The mental connection to Dimamire failed. He opened his left eye, backing away from the door as it was thrown open. The subtle expression of anger and disappointment on his uncle's face was horrifying. But the man spoke calmly, as he usually did. He unfolded his fingers, revealing the eye in his hand, “Hello Desden.” “Hello Uncle Trombolt,” replied Desden, slowly reaching for the eye, “I see you found my eye. I've been looking for that, sometime it crawls off.” “It just crawls off?” asked his uncle skeptically as he wrapped his fingers around the eye once more before Desden could retrieve it. Calmly he asked, “Where's your cousin?”

I didn't have Flurry, so I went with Burst. Anyways here's some more of Sparky's magic.
#WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #magic #whitecliff
Lineart of Sparky, a humanoid bird in robes. Reality settled in like a blanket. They were really doing this, and they were really going to get in trouble for it later. Estella felt uneasy. She squinted, “Ugh, it's awful dark. We should have brought a lantern. -You think the schoolmaster would mind if. . ?” “I. . . can solve that,” replied Sparky. He shifted, on hand still on the reins and reached into his bag and pulling out a large dark object. He held it in front of him, whispering in the arcane tongue. Brilliant green flame burst to life within the iron lantern. He held it aloft, and let go. It floated there over him, the green glow highlighting the trees and undergrowth around them. “Oh! That's a magic bag isn't it? Something like that would be too impractical to carry around in it otherwise,” said Estella.

Today's snip continues directly from one of my previous ones if you want to go on a scavenger hunt through my posts.
#fantasy #WIP #WIPsnips #writing #magic #whitecliff #necromancy
Sketch of Sparky the birdkin in robes. He has a ring on a string around his neck. He forced the decay sprite into the talisman. It's mushroom like shape deformed, squishing but not breaking, before the talisman pulled it in. He poured out his magic, murmuring in the arcane tongue. Green light flowed from his hands into the emblem, back out out it's open mouth, and fell over the bones. They shook, rose about half a foot, rearranged slightly, and started clicking into place. The living horses paced uneasily as the skeletal one settled into place. The bones clicked as it's head turned towards them. Sparky wrapped up the chain and tucked the talisman away. He stepped forward and climbed onto the undead beast's back. He gave it no obvious command, but it started walking forward regardless. He looked to the others, “Well. . . let's go.”

Red may be the most frequently mentioned color in Fall of Ebonwald
#WIP #WIPsnips #fantasy #whitecliff
Sketch of Lt Coal, vampire soldier with long hair and blackened hands. He turned to one of the guards with free hands, “Go up and alert Lord Arrowin that we'll have prisoners ready for his inspection in the foyer.” The man nodded and hurried up the steps and through one of the double doors. The guards holding them followed. There were some similarities between Arrowin's Manor and Nightshade Manor. The foyer was vast, with doors leading off into other rooms, and a grand staircase stood across from the doors. The floor, stairs, and molding were of dark wood. But the walls were covered in the gaudiest red and black wallpaper, and hung with more tapestries and paintings than were tasteful. Dark wood side tables were cluttered with vases, candelabras, and knickknacks.

Dimamire Nightshade, young vampire noble holding a dagger. “I'm not sure he's. . .” Dimamire started to say. But Desden cut him off, “Right! The carriage horses aren't used to riders, but Dimamire has a horse, and there's my father's horse. And I could always ride Grimble.” Grenda's head slowly turned to look at him, “That's a goat.” “He's a Demonlands mountain guard goat,” Desden said, as though he felt that clarification made a difference. “Right, he's a goat,” said Grenda. “A very smart, very sturdy, very loyal goat,” insisted Desden. “Enough,” said Dimamire raising his voice, “My father isn't going to give us permission. He shouldn't give us permission. Passed the Witches' Woods, the forest get dangerous, Arrowin's men are dangerous. He's not going to give us permission.”

Image of Sir Argo D'Amico, knight in half armor wielding a sword. “Dimmy?” called out Sir D'Amico. In reply the figure lifted a hand, showing the red eye embedded in it's palm. Then it turned and started to walk back into the trees. Sir D'Amico growled to himself. This was a trap. It had to be a trap. He started across the clearing anyways, looking around carefully as he entered the woods on the other side. There was a haze or a mist over here, and he could smell something burning. Moving forward he saw the orange glow of fire through the trees and heard the crackle.

Sherman, a dragonkin in armor and holding a maul. They set to work hacking off the branches. Sherman glanced awkwardly at his hammer. He felt worthless, he didn't have a bag full of useful things to aid Rhea or the company. They drug the branches out of the way. Sherman was able help with that, but it didn't make him feel particularly useful. “Alright, let's get this split, hammers and wedges,” instructed the knight. “I don't have any,” said one of the squires shifting through his bag. “Me neither, we'll have to cut some,” replied another. Sherman reached into the big pocket of his overalls, pulling out an pair of small iron wedges. He held them up, rushing forward, “I got this!”
