ello there to any random strangers that stumble upon this blog

i've been building a fantasy world for right now and so i'm going to be using this space as some sort of public notebook for all my world/character building because i have spent far too long writing fanfiction on this cursed platform and like the set up a little too much

⸝⸝ the passing parade

═══════ writing inspo: skeletons on parade, ludo

a parade where the latest death of a person of direct royal lineage (i.e king, queen, prince(ss)) is celebrated bones are glued together with a special mixture of mud and the sap of a Bascal Tree that is native/only grown in tyrias(or with the help of a mage’s magic if available) and a group of dances lead the parade as puppeteers hold the bones on sticks and move the arms/fingers/head/neck while the bones are dressed in royal garbs and sits in a throne atop a float

after a royal family member passes, they are cremated with a fire said to be blessed by Eien, the sun god himself. that is a ritual in itself. after the cremation there is a span of mourning for two moons(it is said to be bad luck if this mourning period falls under a new moon) then preparations for the parade are made.

this passing ritual is exclusive to tyrias royalty, there are different customs for the court members of the other isles.

⌗ the four courts overview

═══════

Eien - Sun god

Eotl - Goddess of the Land

Ghala - Goddess of Rain

Odione - Moon Goddess

Tyris - Goddess of the Cosmos

Four Courts: 

Court of Eienyl (military/navy)

Born here? You are eiean

Court of Eotlle (crops/animal goods/artisan goods)

Born here? You are eolian

Court of Odion (jewels/fashion/black market dealings)

Born here? You are odien

High Court of Tyrias (high royalty/wealthy class throughout)

Born here? You are tyrian

Outlying groups:

Pirates; mostly dealing in black market trade around the odione court, very few pirate ships because of the navy but the few that do manage to evade the navy are infamous

The Forest Children; a group of people who pledge their allegiance solely to the goddess eotl, inhabiting dense forests in the court of eotl. Tensions are high between them and the inhabitants 

The Fallen; a group of people all over the isle who wish to overthrow the government

Court Relations:

Eienyl -> Eotlle = cordial when it counts/tense. Most eolians see those from eienyl as power hungry brutes, most eieans see those from eotlle as tree hugging sissys who would never be able to defend themselves come another war. Eienyl refuses to help eotlle with their forest children problem Eienyl -> Odion = tense. Eiean navy and odien pirates are constantly at each others throats, the courts argue whether or not it’s even in eienyl jurisdiction to persecute odien natives instead of the odion court themselves. Many speculative rumors that odien court members may be involved in the black market trading  Eienyl -> Tyrias = comfortable/friendly/symbiotic. Tyrias works very closely with the eienyl court to ensure the people of oarae remain docile and complacent in their ruling. Eienyl court is rewarded with money, jewels, and funding for their own advances.  Eotlle -> Odion = neutral. Trade between the two courts is always lucrative from both sides, aside from that, they don’t have many relations. Cordial when needed, no bad blood. Neutral parties. Eotlle -> Tyrias = friendly/loyal. Eotlle’s exotic food trade is lucrative with tyrias. Tyrias offers some protection/security against the forest children. Eotlle is tyrias’ biggest butt kisser, highly religious group who believes in the teachings from tyrias missionaries Odion ->  Tyrias = secretive/tense. Tyrias is a high buyer for odion’s jewels and fabric trade, some tyrias rulers are rumored to have a foot in odions black market door,

彡 The Isles of Oarae loosely using the format from fantasy archive

═══════

── . Overview

 The Isles of Oarae; four island courts/small kingdoms under the central rule of the biggest one (Tyrias Isle). Said to have formed after the goddess of tranquility, Oarae killed herself because she couldn’t bear to watch her friends(Eien; Sun God, Eotl; Goddess of the Land, Odione; Moon Goddess, and Tyris: Goddess of the Cosmos) fight for a moment longer. This ended centuries long war and united the four courts in Oarae’s honor. Court of Eienyl (military/navy), Court of Eotlle (crops, animal/artisan goods), Court of Odion (jewels/fashion, black market dealings), Court of Tyrias (high royalty/scholars, wealthy class throughout)
