Hello! I love The worldbuilding you have created! I wonder if Agadhi Is no longer a character in the revamp of the storie?
Have a good day author and stay healthy!
Hello š
Aghadi is still ātechnicallyā a character but I renamed him to Valin/Valeria. As I made him interchangeable with the direction shift and couldnāt have two A names (as itād get complicated) and it also makes it easier for you all to simply mention them by one letter instead of the full names.
I hope you have a good day (and stay healthy) too š§”
Not really. As Revian is usually on the moveā overseeing various thingsā so she doesnāt really have the time to mess with that. She does wear a locket that Phenir gave her though, but only during special circumstances.
How would you describe their decorating sense?
Formal mixed with elegance in areas where many people pass through. However, in places like her bedroom or study, itās a lot make homey and warm because those places are just for her/people she trusts.
I remember this demo! I'm thrilled to find this blog, I do hope you're doing well. Every time I read through the old demo it breaks my heart. In the meantime: šššššššš take these!
Iām so glad that you like it š. Iām currently combing over the old one to polish it and add the second chapter too (where you meet C). I had a disconnect with the old version because of various things but I adore how my overhaul has turned out. I hope that you all enjoy it too.
