25. Sense of humour
Jyn doesnt have much of one at all - he's the kind to question a joke until it isn't funny anymore. Trikk however, has been known to float about in glee when told a joke.
His favourite is puns.
"Why must a wizard always tie his shoes? Otherwise, they 'can trip!'"

25. War that has ended
Ránn repelled the invading Aegir forces and attained their independence in the Great Akoya Conflict of 2nd Span, 1100-1113. Fjorm's ancestor from whom she took her name, Queen Fjorm IV was the commander in the legendary Battles of Murex and Cerith.

I wouldn't call myself an artist as such, but here's a coloured pencil group shot of my main characters I drew myself a year or so ago.
Still my favourite art I've done myself ^_^

'Jynrahd Wyrmoil: Grill Sargeant'
The cover is him in his full plate armour but with a novelty barbecue apron laboriously stretched over it. Instead of his halberd, there's a giant spatula on his back.

When the Face of Chaos was unearthed and the Masked Fiend born 20 years ago, the result was the Elven Exodus. The Gullveig tribe of light elves was ousted from their home in Sintadil Forest, a young Aurora with them.

Jynrahd is already super-strong and able to control earth, and he never even wished for those. He'd choose something protective, like force field generation or healing abilities.
Thankfully, his equally-powerful allies have these powers, among others. Renders, assemble!

23. Long dead rulers
Tigran Wyrmoil, Jynrahd's 11x great grandfather, was the Azrakian Rimem who allowed the ousted Kuramesh orcs to settle on his island. This action is taught in Wyrmoila as the greatest mistake ever made, though Jyn believes that was starting a war over it.

Jynrahd is the type to ask if he has to pick one. If pressed, he'd choose the latter, despite his dislike for the term "hero."
"A hero is just someone who gave up their happiness to others. Most of them don't want or deserve the love and attention the storybooks give them."

The remains of the first Orskegg have become a sprawling necropolis beneath the second. After the dwarves advances their tech to the point of self-replicating power, they had no need for Nori Dorotheim's magnum opus and left them to rot within it.

Fishing in the River Naidraug is illegal and ill-advised - it isn't exactly clean. The Aegir Sea, however, is abundant and Vangr's fishing industry is thriving. A middle-class Tsentrian household doesn't get through a week without at least one Vangran fish dinner.

Alright, #NovemberWorldbuilders, this is the nichest of niche questions. If you have a notable lake/river in your world, how does it impact the economy? Do people fish from it? Are there any other resources they use? Maybe barges use it for transporting goods?

Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big
