#TheDragonblood: The Defenders of Fate are one of those scary things parents tell their children about in bedtime stories. Maybe slightly older children than the ones you'd tell stories to simply to convince them to behave and eat their vegetables.

#TheDragonblood: One thing about Laannig I'm pretty sure you'll relate to is that he thinks the Nemorian gods are manipulative tyrannical assholes.

Of course, Laannig does believe in his own set of gods.

#TheDragonblood: I mentioned Aimetor's sculpting yesterday, but they also do fashion design and artistic body modification, and they'll also take up acting. So Aimetor is an artist in many ways.

#TheDragonblood: Felix may get to witness important events in Nemoria. Possibly, the kidnapping of Zonhiska and/or parts of the First Akewan War.

#TheDragonblood: Draconoidic formed when Petanata, the first dragon, tried to speak Nemorian, and replaced sounds with ones they could make. Petanata's Dragonblood parent may also have occasionally tried to speak and teach Nemorian in dragon form and made similar substitutions.

#TheDragonblood: Depending on how you look at it, the main opponent of the Defenders of Fate is either people who would mess with time in irreconcilable ways, or fate itself.

And it may seem strange that the so-called Defenders of Fate would be fighting AGAINST fate.

#TheDragonblood: Currently, Felix lives in a rented flat in Cambridge with some flatmates they've probably never exchanged words with.

Outside the school year, Felix lives with their nebulous family which I seriously need to build.

#TheDragonblood: The flora and fauna of Kumat largely resembles that of Egypt.

Apparently in our world, changes to Egypt's climate have made some species, such as papyrus reeds, hippos and crocodiles, less plentiful than they used to be.

#TheDragonblood: There is plenty of beautiful architecture in Nemoria. The temples of the gods are often pretty stunning, although Amfrobena prefers her temple to be very disorganised gardens, and Anamuortus's temples only exist virtually.

#TheDragonblood: Draconoidic is a tonal language. Common Draconoidic has three tones: high tone (á), mid tone (a) and low tone (à). High tone arises from a historical voiceless lateral in the onset of a syllable (originating from Nemorian t or k).

#TheDragonblood: Fenzetor is the god of fate. He wouldn't typically be associated with strife, but is certainly associated with the Defenders of Fate, and the strife they are allegedly trying to defend from.

#TheDragonblood: Kumat is famous for the enormous Pyramids of Ḫawyafwiy, Ḫaʿfriʿuw and Mankuʾawriʿuw, and the Great Sphinx (whose original name is lost to time in our world, so I will have to invent something for mine).

Even days are for posting whatever!I suddenly pick out a magical resonance in the distance. I look in that direction but see nothing. It sounds sort of like a soul, but… off, somehow. Not a pleasing sound.
“What’s that magic coming from over there?” I ask.
Aimetor frowns. “Ghost, maybe? Hopefully not a…”
Aimetor curses in Nemorian, and I can hear the terror in their aura.
“Essōr anămōm!” Aimetor shouts.
The mage starts to respond, then stops and turns to the invisible source of magic in alarm. The two non-mages turn around as well, looking around in confusion. Kalai looks to be freaking out.
“Er, Alios?” I whisper.
“Right,” Alios’ voice says after a second. “Brr. Soul Devourer.”
‘We did not bring it here!’ Kalai shouts, regaining composure.
‘Nor us,’ the mage replies. ‘Foroug’s sword can destroy Soul Devourers. I did not know that particular enchantment would come in handy.’
‘Strike true, or it will drain the sword’s magic and likely break the enchantment,’ Kalai warns. ‘I can control it from a distance; Iubiugra will guide our strike.’
‘We are not giving the sword to a stranger!’ the mage says. ‘I have this.’
They ask their companion for the sword, most likely in Akewan, because Alios doesn’t translate. They then start levitating the sword and send it in the direction of the Soul Devourer.
‘A little farther!’ Kalai calls. ‘No, too much!’
The sword suddenly drops to the ground.
“What just happened?” I whisper.
“It cut the thread,” Alios responds. I make a questioning sound, confused, and Alios continues. “The magical thread connecting the sword to… No time. Ask me later.”
The mage talks to the little one in camo, who takes off the belt of magical supplies and runs off after the sword.
‘You need someone who can sense the spirit. Someone without a soul to risk.’ Aimetor gestures at me. ‘It has to be this one.’
Aimetor turns to me. “Felix, you must be the one to deal with it. It will sap your magic if it touches you, but it cannot eat your soul because you have none.”With a pained expression in his eyes, the doctor picks up the gun from the table.
I hear the muffled pow of a gunshot as he turns around and shoots Gem in the chest. She sits there in confusion for a moment or two, unmoving and bleeding out.
My vision is very blurry now, and I feel on the brink of death. I try to think through the brain fog.
If I’m going to die, then so be it, but I won’t just lie here while this psycho doctor shoots people. Adrenaline now coursing through my body, I rip out the tube attached to my arm. Gem slowly turns to lie face down on the bed right beside me. I reach for her, but my arm seems to pass right through her and I roll over onto my stomach.
For a moment I wonder if she vanished, but no, she’s just on the other side of me. I painfully push myself up and reposition myself to be sitting on the side of the bed. I stare as the pool of blood from where she was shot trickles upward towards me, towards the wound in my chest. What is going on?
The doctor sets something down that emits a dim glow, and points the gun at me. I hear a whap as something tugs me forward. I feel searing pain for a moment, and then nothing. The blood on my chest is gone and even my dress looks intact. How – ?
The doctor places the gun on the table once more. Once I get over the shock of what just happened, I get up and hobble over to the table. I pick up the gun and inspect it closely. It just looks like a regular gun. But somehow… it healed me? He sacrificed my sister to save me? However he did it, that’s awful!

#TheDragonblood: Upon returning to the temple of Gnaramater after ending up with the ability to sense magic, Felix notices the temple emits a magical resonance that seems intentionally melodic.

#TheDragonblood: The Defenders of Fate believe that they are on a mission to protect the timeline from paradox that will result in great impending doom. And the way to do that is through targeted murder of those who would mess with time.

I am torn three ways, between my two chaotic gods from #TheDragonblood, Amfrobena, goddess of the weather, and Missadeiuos, god/goddess of trickery, and my troublemaker Hero from #MiwwduSitsomSelkieWIP.

#TheDragonblood: An old version of parts of the Epic of Gilgamesh may have existed at the time the magical world split from our world.

#TheDragonblood: All I've worked out about Kumat so far is the ways it is like Ancient Egypt, and not yet the things that make it different.

The language is going to be a descendant of Ancient Egyptian, with a writing system based on/descended from hieroglyphics.

#TheDragonblood: Draconoidic (we'll go with that for now) is made to fit the vocal tract of a dragon/wyvern and not a human, so has an unusual set of sounds.

#TheDragonblood: The reason for the Defenders of Fate existing is two-fold.

This might get a bit into Day 3 stuff, but let's start with what its members believe.
