Lore + Illustration Time lapse about a common type of festival in Ormauk: Tampohan. A festival that pulls the community together to prepare for the season of storms. 🏮

Tampohan Festival 🐟

There is an old myth that seems to exist across cultures (in Ormauk) which describes the odyssey of a hero along winding rivers and across treacherous oceans. They say this figure was shadowed by all the fish in the world who they took as a sign from the water Tala, the patrons of Ormauk’s waters, of their protection. Upon finally arriving home after days, weeks, years of travel (sources vary on the length of time), the fish who followed took to the riverbeds and reefs to lay the eggs that made the first spawn. Since that day, it is said that fish across the disk repeat this journey yearly to honor their ancestors and guide those who are lost to calmer waters.

made for the mountains and the seas:: the kaparehas flute and staff designed by celso magalang:: a technical approach for a traditional practice:: made to captivate the diwa whether you're in the city, on the trail, or going off the beaten path.

---- I really like this magazine style showcase of characters and locations. I'm probably gonna do more of these for the next couple illustrations.

The diwa like to occupy empty spaces. Ancient humans noticed this in the howling winds within caves, the ocean waves crashing into coves, the tiny pebbles in cracks, and the streams of light in a dark nook. Nowadays, the diwa are invited into small vessels to help with various community tasks.

"Mumbler at the Subway"

Trainees of the ways of the Speaker practice and share their craft wherever they can. Using the true names of the diwa (hymns and tunes of nature) mumblers tease them out of the ether and guide them into vessels to be called upon at a later time.

If you put your ear next to these vessels, you'll hear the diwa's chimes and sounds as they peep out from the inside.

Heyo! I made a TTRPG recruitment poster for public use! There's a Dungeons and Dragons, Daggerheart and a generic D20 version of the poster along with a small space where you can put your event/contact information on!

You can either just slap text on the PNG or JPG files, print it blank and hand write the info, or use the Krita/Photoshop file if you want to go in and edit it some more!

🏮Feel free to download the files on my itch.io page!

Rice and Fish His hands pierce the sky, blue-green in the dry there. Training his eye to watch them. And somewhere away, trained eyes, also (may- be) capricious, stay To watch him.

🪸 Ocean-themed Speaker design 🪸 I mixed some traditional Filipino fashion and design into this character; mainly seen in the translucent undershirt reminiscent of the barong, the waist-length tunic he wears, and the batok inspired tattoos on his arms.

Speakers are one of the many types of magic casters within Ormauk. They commune with spirits using musical instruments. This speaker, Charles Gravy, uses the large conch horn as a general-use magic staff while the smaller conches around his waist are more specialized tunes to summon specific spirits!

🛠️ Beware the mechanic with an unrecognizable machine where their arms used to be! Superlatives bend ancient tech and rare metals called 'superium' to their will. 🛠️

Not all superlatives are living arsenals of course. A common practice in the superium-working circles is to test augments on mobile automatons before committing them to one’s body. Some superlatives never outgrow this phase, perfecting the mechanical man and programming them to do their bidding.

----

We made another kind of magic user in Ormauk! Compared to a Speaker, Superlatives are more tuned to technology and use their knowledge about ancient artifacts to help improve modern technologies within their communities.
