In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol describes their deployment to the Formian War's front...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding

...After that first year, we were sent to Ofu-Vou, and there found no offthank, only plight. Ofu Vou stands as Valmaeyana’s westernmost watch-hold within the Straits of Glory. It sits on an island forsoothly little more than a rock rising starkly from the sea. Else than a small dale and upland where Shota may hunt birds and lost thurses, its only wealth lies in a harbor, where a fleet of deep ships may lie, and stoutly warded by two armlike headlands whereon strongholds overlook. I was first aloss as to why the High Staff should send us there, since we are land-warriors. However, we soon got word forthcoming. Soon we were packed back aship, where we joined a doughty fleet of forty ships and sailed westward, straight toward the Colonies of the Formians. Of this warfare, I cannot easily tell what I witnessed else than odd whits: blood’s golden stain on water, the sight of ships burning at night, the dread of a huge Formian shell-hulk rowing buglike toward, and sorrow of bodies floating dead and still. Our goal within this greater sorrow-tale was a raid against Zonyu, a Formian-held island at the strait’s eastern side, as misdrawal against a bigger host that would outseek the wards nigh Lost Valmaea. We landed a strong raidhost of ten flags, mostly Qabarata and our like fellows, but with Valmaean scouts.

...Although elves have a strong affinity with nature and trees, their arcane magic may be truly eldritch from a #lashunta perspective. That and their just so darned androgynous!

What if #lashunta perceive elves as alien, just as do humans, but for completely different reasons?

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol describes their voyage to the Formian War...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

We sailed southward at Blighttide’s start: our Son-Retaea firdsith upon a sailship along with Qabarat warriors, where we spent the next five months but for seldom breaks at harbor. Suchly, we were going as a linksith under Qabarat’s warhost, as standard after many yearhundreds since Qabarat bestows ships and oversees the warfare. Thus we clove with firds from many other burghs - Hanazhyana, Mahyat, Lasahaua, and Reshat. I heard sometimes even skyriders from Ofu-Laubu had come southward and joined the host, though seldomly since their burgh lies so far north. Thus we underwent almost a half-year seafare down the Shattersea Shore, where we stopped at many steads: first Lasahaua, and then Nivaea at the mouth of Great Father Hisyho, the world’s mightiest river. At each stop, more ships clove the warfleet until we tallied more than fifty ships. I also learned all stood not easy within the Western Asana Alliance. If Son at times rankled under Qabarat’s foremostness, then we are not alone. Qabarat also claims kinship with the Valmayana, forwhy back when Qabarat was an elfburgh, the first lashunta who dwelled there were brokenfolk from Lost Valmaea. Yet Lasahaua, a wealthy tradeburgh within the Eastern Shattersea, often dared Qabarat's leadership. Reshat, which is outcomefully a Qabarat colony in the Western Shatttersea, staunchly upholds their motherburgh, while Nivaea further south offplays them. Qabarat spends great strength to uphold their stead among the alliance, almost much as fighting the Formians. For us from the North, this knowledge opened eyes.

...The bronze-age Cretans who practiced this dangerous skill recruited slaves, thus giving us the myth of Theseus & the Minotaur. Yet among the #Lashunta, this kind of death-defying practice must be a virtue practiced by the upper classes or a populace eager to win renown & advancement...

...What draws me is the projection of trained prowess, particularly from a female perspective, which I find fitting for a matriarchy like the #Lashunta.

For most of Western History, female prowess has not been viewed as a virtue, even though bull-dancing like this actually existed...

I owe an explanation why I chose this pic. In my vision of Castrovel, there are no bulls...

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol meets Vosaeth from the Retaea Northern Moors, whose savagery enthralls even as it unsettles...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Ere we left, from the north came a Retaea trucebode (though the Retaea make little truce), led by Lady Vosaeth, daughter of the Miniada’s clanwife, with a sixsome of damaya riders asith and korasha warrior-grooms, all war-proven moor-reavers. I remind my first sight of Vosaeth, this outlandish wild moorwife, astride her shota with the ease of one who has ridden her whole lifetime, skin of deep earthiness so marking the sun-blessed North under her tangled purple curls. At once a thought leapt: ~A shaveraze!~ - Thief-Queen! So had looked those dread elder reavers when they swept from the moorlands twelve thousand years ago. Too easily I could dream a feathery crown upon her head. Vosaeth looked at me, beswaying grin already lit, and her first word: ~Niradaf o ihize,~ - "I heard you are wicked." At my shame she laughed, but then to soothe offthank, outlaid that she had heard I had undertaken downstall to save my housemate, which deed she blessed, and cheered me a bold maiden. Then she kissed me. Against her, I feared my boldness outmatched, for a wildness held her from the moors and their long-legged shotalashu. I found her mood thrillsome. The Retaea sith outspoke wish to cleave our warfare against the Formians, to which both Lady-Mother and Lady-Captain welcomed their add. Thus we spent a few days letting the Retaea tarry after their long wayfare, and settling last plans. Then we took flatbarks down Father Yaro to Qabarat.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 3_, Lady Vaeol learns the price of getting her demotion removed, as she gets sent to the Formian War...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttprg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Then I got bidden to Valmayana, and there to fight under the alliance warding Asana from the Formians. The word struck me sorrowful, sunderly in Remaue’s needtide. Also as first thought, I misdeemed this fetch as further guiltboot from Oshis’s sin, for which I had already taken downness. So I outspoke it as unfair. Yet Lady-Captain unswayingly bade me forbear. In good news, however, my sendforth witnessed my rise back to reeveship as outrider and freedom to choose my own sith. Almost as swiftly, I soon had willing shieldmates: Tae, Krastaes, Nae, Hanos, and Draue, whomunder I easily gathered a team each of riders and bowmen. Even better, my newfound maidenlove Lady Istae would lead another ridersith. Remaue and Erymi, however, would not come, whereat I forbade both Oshis and Less, though they had already beseeched, forwhy I would keep them home to tend their wifeloves. Here we underwent a tough striffle. Yet Erymi and Remaue bade I should take the men, for sake that with their doughtiness we might all more likely come home safe. When all my housemates so stood against me, at last I yielded. Thus we left Erymi and Remaue in each other’s heed, along with both Lady-Mother’s and my father’s oaths to afterlook.

In the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure_, Lady Vaeol helps Remaue at last get through her bridetide...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

Yesterday we held anew Remaue’s bridetide. It went mishapplessly, for which we are relieved. We made it an easy holiday, a late noonmeal with light snacks, foremostly the kinds fostering ripeness. Shortly therein came my father, Liavill his wifemate, Raeonyl and Shill my siblings, and Aeal and Roess, Remaue’s mother and sister. We settled for an idle afternoon and shared laughter with friends and kin, with Remaue proud and bare at our mindfulness’s midst. Toward dusktide I left the mirthstead and lit witchlights among the blossomwreaths Tae and Erymi had set over and within our bower. The bedshroud gift from Lady-Mother was already laid and dressed. Tae, Erymi, and I deemed all ready. So we came downstairs to the housedeck. There I came behind Remaue’s seat, bent, and kissed her. She looked upward with eyes glistening. I bade the tide upcome. With many hugs from all, Erymi and I led my bridemate up to the bower. Once there, we helped Remaue unclothe, an easy thing since we merely unknotted her skirt. Then she knelt upon the bed and waited. Bywardly came Less with Tae ahost, who came until the doorway and begged income. Remaue smilingly bestowed leave. Less stepped inside, and Tae, with a dear kiss to her manmate, untied his kilt and loincloth. He knelt upon the bed before Remaue, greeted her, and beseeched her blessing. For a soon while we stayed talking and shared laughter. Then Less leaned forward and kissed her, whereat her grin answered. I lay beside my bridemate, which let me wrap my antennae with hers. Tae did likewise on the other side while Erymi sat at the head. Slowly Less clove our mindshare, whereat I felt his gladness and thrill.

in the beginning of _A Castrovel Adventure: Part 2_, Lady Vaeol's budding flag-pod house picks up the pieces after her demotion and Oshis's conviction...

#pathfinder #pathfinder2e #lashunta #castrovel #rpg #ttrpg #worldbuilding #worldanvil

When we rode up, from a limbhouse came Erymi, who greeted us merrily and came down the beam-stair. She outlaid this treehome and meadows belong to the Citadel to host Shota, and that Lady-Captain has given her its oversight. It is a right fast stead where she can bear her child. Furthermore, she bade we are all welcome to stay on free days. It lies an easy ridefare from the City, and also is unfar from my fatherkin’s household, which means good neighbors. In all, it is not quite the flagrhold we had forelooked, but recks something. After Erymi gave show, I asked aside whether she has seen Oshis. She kissed me and answered yes. She hopes she can gain him to work here with her, though she has no hold on his worklog. I forespoke to see how I may help. At worst, his thrall-bond will end well before she gives birth. At Erymi’s leave, Remaue and I chose an outroom among the upper limbs. It is wonderfully lofty, open on two ends under a stout thatch roof, and room enough under rafters for an upper half-deck where we can sleep. At once we began planning how to dress it. When we rested after noonmeal, Erymi asked a question that forecaught us: what choice had Remaue made for her wifehood? We all stilled. Remaue, however, stayed unshaken. She answered she had much thought, but had withheld choice until now, for threat of restirring illness among our friendhood. Erymi understood and thanked her. Then she added she has a good guess of whom Remaue would choose, and that she upholds and blesses it.

...Something that's less important for most fantasy but become more important for in-depth worldbuilding is this question: what does everyday life look like? Maybe #lashunta would be performing tasks rather like this within a setting that would look not so differ...but with bigger trees.
