Getting Back To It! Sorta. General Raptor Lore.

Just started act 5 of ISAT and

Since we’re a few posts into this; The Feylands is a continent! I’d personally say it’s larger than Australia- or a little bit more I’m not good at sizes.

And it has a map! That I’ve redraw 3 times over the years!

Some features on the map are up for changes, like City markers being more prominent and caves/ being spruced up. There are tons of little spots around that are a bit too small to place- small ponds and streams and so.

Worldbuilding: Questions to Consider

A more wordy post because I don’t know how to draw buildings. Only one image for Drakes.

Architecture, in general, is varied due to the nature of the Feyfolks’ variety in size, body shape, and species. Most Architecture is spacious and wide, with wide areas for air landings and take-offs.

Architecture, in general, uses the land around it: growing trees into dens and homes, carving homes out of mountains, ravines, and sinkholes, and Finding sanctuary in underwater cliffs, ravines, and coralline structures. Their architecture prefers to take and give back to nature.

Drakes use a lot of fire as it’s a vital tool for them. It’s highly desired by most (if not all) of the feyfolk enjoy. They love knowing a firebreather because then they don’t have to hire a specialist, they could just exchange favors.

In the lower sections they dig out enough room for seperate rooms for (similarly aged) Children and the Parents.

Food storage is full of shelves, jars and crates to hold spices, herbs and dried meats. The extended pantry + a colder lower storage. They don’t have fridges but they do Ike to pack away snow and ice into this area and locking it away. Cooking wares and cooking is done elsewhere, such as the entrance or a Separate area completely.

Housing is a place to relax after working out and about, not really to host folks unless folks are family. It’s meant to be safe and relaxing, decorated how they want and potentially raise kids in.

STARS IN TIME MENTION!!!

Impulsively decided to get In Stars and Time. I know absolutely nothing about this game other than there being a timeloop mechanic, it's an RPG(?), and that not an insignificant amount of my mutuals are fans (or at least way more familiar) with this game. I wonder what'll happen

PUT SOME CLOTHES ON

I was going to do the one big image I had of the, but it was blurry so here’s a bunch of smaller ones

Here’s the big one btw:

Heeey.

I moved this blog’s dedicated thing into a side blog :) it’s Here! I’ll post over there about The Feylands from here on!

I’ll still post here (Feylands things or other,) but this’ll be my main blog now. I’ll post my regular art on it and do, normal things!

And also redesign this space to be more Me-core instead of Feyland based, haha.

Social(ly anxious) creatures

💕 Have a very yeenful valentine's day 💕

Also also:

Group meeting to establish the flags: just for fun.

To take a break from Griffeuxes:

Feylands Government System!

They use to hold a multitude of Monarchies across the continent, but after several riots against the multiple monarchies and a lot of cleaning up: Six organizations came about to instill order and have been working cleanly after a few hiccups.

I have unifying colors for them and Flags!

In order:

Gis (Argriculture & Rural affairs)

Thalimis (Architecture, infrastructure & Water incorporation)

Ourinis (Communication, Transportation & Imports/exports)

Nekis (Law Enforcement & Millitary matters)

Mageis (Education)

Ygeis (Healthcare)

All the original leaders commissioned or hand-crafted their flag.
