“The art of becoming a liche is to carve oneself into the world indelibly, to become more invariant than stars and mountains, than empires and continents.”

The Keeper of the Darkspire is an ancient Tryzelithi mage-lord from the forgotten Crystal Age. Luckily for us, she is a recluse, focused on mapping the stars. Still, her wrath is best not tempted. (1601)

“If the essence of magic is to defy reality, the essence of true mastery is to defy magic.”

Gyran has probably forgotten more about magic across her life than anyone who has challenged her has ever known. (1600)

Ramadan is starting and I'm bringing back my donation posts for AC Villager drawings! Just send me a dated receipt to a Muslim food bank ( I have my local one linked in the qr code) and I will draw you an Animal Crossing character of your choice!

Ramadan Mubarak!

At least 280 Israeli teenagers have announced their forthcoming refusal to join the Israel Defense Forces by signing a letter that condemns “the regime of occupation and Jewish supremacy.”

I met a traveller from an antique land.

Gyran’s outfit didn’t feel “fantasy-y” enough for the Panspermia setting in general, so here she is in something a bit more magic-user. (1569 (nice))

I got the tumblr patio feature, and I quite like it.

By default it had my dashboard and activity feed displayed, but I removed those to fill it with a few tags I follow and now I can go to a single page to look at all the kinds of content I want to see from people I don't follow. And I can scroll in one row while leaving the other rows alone.

I don't know if I'll regularly use it, but I think it may make me more likely to go regularly explore tags more. One of the things I really like about tumblr is its focus on curating your own experience, and the patio is really flexible in how you use it and what kind of content you want to show up there.

Thank you @staff !

Super self indulgent art time!!! This is a new OC I've been doodling a bunch over the past few months. Her name is Winter, she's a Frost Giantess who's not to kind to the smallfolk that live below her mountain.

One of my goals this year is to get better at drawing backgrounds for my art. I'm actually really happy with how this one came out!

Fire Locusts are very useful when trying to start a fire. Just a few of them can get even the dampest wood to catch, which can be life saving when much of the wood you can gather is dug out of snow and half frozen. There's old stories of huge swarms of them managing to set entire forests ablaze. The night all lit up from the burning, darkness chased away as they feasted on the timbers. Haven't had an event like that happen for a long time, thank goodness.

Nobody is walking around barefoot in this snow, but yet those footprints show up so often. Human in shape and size, always crossing well walked trails or wandering close to camps. Normally I'd say they're the result of something curious and harmless but.... well, if you follow where they lead with a group of people, the trail vanishes. If you follow where they lead alone, you vanish. It's bait. Don't follow the footprints.

Most who travel the long night learn quickly to pack lightly. There are those, however who require more gear for their travels or research, or simply assistance traversing the ice and deep snows. Some bring typical mounts or pack animals, but such creatures often struggle to traverse the snowy dark. No, the best solution is to get yourself a creature of the longest night. There are some that are tameable if you know how to approach them, and there are those who make a trade of procuring these creatures for travellers. Like all other creatures of the long night they flee as the sun rises. Trying to keep them through the sunlit months never ends well. Tradition calls to set them loose before the sun rises. If you've treated them right, you might find your companion awaiting you come the next long sunset.

Frost snails are harmless, so long as you don't let them go crawling on your skin. Their shells remain icy cold for decades after death; I know some gather their shells to keep in the summer months or ship to warmer climates to toss into drinks or sew into hats and the like. I've always loved watching the ice crystals grow in their wake.

Sunset grouse, or dusk ptarmigan, are most commonly sighted performing intricate dances in the dying sunlight of the long sunset. Their fiery plumage is strikingly beautiful, but even more striking is their peculiar shadows: the silhouettes they cast upon the ground gleam and glow, yet rarely seem to cast light back upon the birds themselves. This plumage would make them ripe for poaching, but when they die it is like snuffing out a candle, all the colour goes out of them; plumage, eyes, skin, everything turns a dull, dark grey. Killing a dusk ptarmigan is believed to bring terrible luck. Conversely, seeing the rare sight of a dusk ptarmigan aglow in the light of its own shadow is a good omen. Being among the first of the night's creatures to appear, they herald the coming of the long night much the same way Duskwalkers do.
