Useless/Useful The Guy Fun Facts while I wait for my pencil to recharge:

They have a normal job. It is not, in fact, their job to torment people and manipulate them into killing. They’re a newspaper writer that’s been consistently subjected to ad, fad, and listicle duty. They hate it

They used to have dentophobia before taking a liking to Emile

Their other fears are: heights, depths, bodies of water, and geese. Best not to question the last one

They’re not an active cannibal, but they’ve been known to nibble if they’re bored enough

They like crime dramas and detective media, funnily enough. Somehow rooting for the protagonists and having the fictional crime solved. No one in their life pretends to get it

On their job they’ve gotten so aggrieved and bored that they’ve drunk pots of ink and experienced the natural consequences of such. To feel something

For lore asks!!!

If the Auditor's intentions are to invoke unity on even the level of the Gods, does it have any particular plans for which god it might start with, when the time comes? What member of the Eleven does it believe to be the 'weakest link'? the one it can most easily conquer and start it's path toward complete and total control?

In the unlikely possibility of the Earthmover starting to... Move, again, do the dragons of Sparkhaven have a contingency plan for surviving the sudden reactivation of their home? Is there any concern from the surrounding area that this might be part of the plan of those who live atop the remains of war machines- to revive them somehow?

cut exists for the sake of scrolling this blog. anyways

okay, first off, in my lore, the eleven have been AWOL for... i don't want to give a specific timeframe, because i know i will regret giving a specific timeframe, but they have been unreachable for a very long time. so they're straightup just... not involved in sornieth and have not been for a significant amount of time.

second off: the auditor is a cocky little bastard. the auditor also knows that they are made from the combined magic of all eleven elemental deities. so their actual mindset is that the deities aren't going to respond until they and their agency's swept across the whole supercontinent, and even if the eleven finally come back out of hiding- what then? what then? what is any one element against them, who was created to balance the elements in the first place?

if you forced them to answer, though, they'd probably say the arcanist. because the arcanist, from the beginning, has never been interested in fighting.

also, as a sidenote: the actual nation-flights that are the best targets are currently arcane and water, because again, arcane has a very weak military presence due to their lack of interest in it. the odd thing is that it's still arcane so they might be able to make some weapon of mass destruction. but it is like playing against a beginner at chess: you should be able to stomp them unless they manage to do something weirdly brilliant by accident. and anyways, even if they do make a ridiculous weapon to use, the jury's out on whether the rest of the flights will let them use it in the first place.

water, on the other hand, is the most magically destabilized flight, geographically speaking. hey! fun fact! did you know! (in my worldbuilding specifically) the tidelord is no more absent than the rest of the deities? the real problem here is that water magic is very physical, for lack of a better term. it is tied heavily to having, well, water at hand. and, unlike the earth flight, who also have a very physical element, the water flight's territory was located in an unfortunate location.

what i'm saying is this: a lot of flights dropped out of warring for dominance over the centuries (which is a whole other tangent that i'm not explaining in this post). the last to stick it out were fire/lightning/nature/plague. the water flight happens to be right in the middle of all of those.

and, well, the final stretch of the war was fought using earthmovers, which, as we know, damaged the leylines real badly. because water is geographically in the middle of this all, a lot of their leylines were badly affected by it as well, which damaged a lot of culturally/magically significant sites.

water magic isn't affected at all. individual seers' powers work just as well as before, but culturally and politically they are at a loss. the more religious sects say the tidelord has gone silent because the places dragons would go to commune with him (actually places that had particularly high concentrations of water magic and/or water) aren't working anymore.

which is to say: the auditor, being based out of plague as they are right now, has their sights set on water as their first full flight to take on due both to geographical proximity and also the sheer chaos going on in the flight itself

and on that note, we segue to talking more about earthmovers.

In the unlikely possibility of the Earthmover starting to… Move, again, do the dragons of Sparkhaven have a contingency plan for surviving the sudden reactivation of their home?

yeah, there were a lot of worries among the settlements built atop earthmovers that they might be able to reactivate themselves when the leylines began to recover again.

different towns dealt with it differently. at least one completely gutted their earthmover to make sure there there's just... no components left to reactivate in the first place.

plan in sparkhaven specifically was to keep its fuel systems empty and dismantle the weapons as soon as they could. also kept the shield generator online as a failsafe to minimize damage to the city if all else failed and it stood back up again.

for a little while, at the height of all the worry, there was a task force specializing in keeping vermin and other animals out of the earthmover's internal pipes to make sure it wasn't going to get any blood in there at all. that wasn't really necessary because a couple rats just aren't going to have enough blood to keep even a damn lamp on for a significant amount of time, but it let dragons have more peace of mind, so there was a task force.

in the modern day, near-to-all of its power generation has been re-routed to the city's essential (and/or nonessential) sectors anyway. don't get me wrong, the city relies mostly on external power plants at this point but hey, may as well use what is already there. either ways, it's commonly considered that their earthmover isn't going to wake back up.

...which isn't 100% true. in the specific case of spark-havoc, you could probably still reactivate it. but like all you're going to be able to reactivate is its central consciousness so all it's going to be doing is sitting there lol

as for -

Is there any concern from the surrounding area that this might be part of the plan of those who live atop the remains of war machines- to revive them somehow?

not from the surrounding area! most of those settlements are descended from dragons who, for one reason or another, left their own earthmovers behind to settle on the ground instead.

no, the concern comes from the dragons of the tempest spire and goldensparc (and places in the general goldensparc area). the thing is, they were just far enough removed from most of the fighting that they escaped the worst effects of it, okay, and also there's just a major elitism issue in lightning. goldensparc and the tempest spire, massive cities on the cutting edge of technology as they are, have a habit of looking down on the less well-off parts of the flight. and other flights too but that's besides this point.

there are undercurrents of fear that the towns built atop earthmovers, all the way out in the rest of the flight, might then turn their war machines against the higher echelons.

which, by the way, isn't happening because of all the reasons explained before. even if someone wanted to, it's just not gonna happen.

sending a lore ask in return! it looks like you have a lot of different elemental subsets in your lair. have you changed flights a lot? how is that incorporated into your lore? also, i love the radio station dragons. i cant think of any interesting questions about them but i love them a lot theyre so fun

so funny story about that: i have changed flights exactly once, from wind to plague, and i already had most of my lore set in plague by that point. so i, uh... haven't actually incorporated any flight changes into my lore.

the thing is i just went into flight rising with the knowledge i was not going to write a proper clan. i don't know why. i just decided i wasn't going to. the main reason i've got so many different flight cities is because i am trying to show the different parts of sornieth and how they have been impacted by the same events (and also how globally notorious certain events actually are in the first place).

also i just like writing politics and being able to write the politics of multiple flights is something i am very interested in! even though it's mostly focused on plague and lightning, but oh well.

yeah this wasn't particularly lore-focused an answer, but i sure hope this answers it

(also!!! thank you i love the radio station as well. they have been very fun to write)

most people who are rich today are idle, sloppy idiots who came to their wealth through inheritance and obsessively buy into their own hype while making massive mistakes which their money and privilege protects them from the major consequences of. however, historical rich people, especially royalty & nobility, were definitely full of grift and spirit and all their extravagances were calculated and amazing and when they failed it was a huge tragedy. i do not see any disconnect with this view of history. the past is full of towering figures who have changed the world with their largesse, while the present is full of stupid idiots. i am also a marxist.
