Piers sails around Weyard as both a diplomat, mapbuilder and learned sailor. The tasks he helped Matthew and co. with were part of a much larger chain of events tied back to Felix. …who finds himself, again, embroiled in worldly struggles. Piers was sworn to secrecy over mentioning Felix to the others, as Felix does not ever wish to drag his friends or family into what he considers his burden. (Submitted by chaos_foxdemon)

Pleistocene ice age mammals still exist in decent numbers in the northern wilds, but not as much as they used to. Ancient Proxan used to even tame wooly rhinos and mammoths for use in battles. (Submitted by grubsnuggle)

djinni all make different noises, and venus djinni are the only ones who can actually speak.

venus djinni often squeak to communicate with each other when not using words.

mars djinni yip and bark, and look and act like a mix between a ferret and a fox or something. that’s why non adepts that raise mars djinni have to keep them in pens!

jupiter djinni chirp and chatter a lot to each other, but they’ve also been known to make seagull noises, particularly disappointed seagull noises when they don’t get treats.

Mercury djinni honk. especially when you squeeze them. piers has one that sounds like a foghorn for his ship. (Submitted by jupiteradepts)

 Villages of adepts are generally a lot looser about things like gender. That’s not to say they’re all genderless necessarily, but trans kids are a lot better accepted than in non-adept villages. i mean, if you can burn down forests at will, you really don’t have time for or interest in enforcing the gender binary, right?

some trans adepts have figured out how to use psynergy to change their voices etc. and do it enough that it becomes second nature to them. certain clans, particularly mercury clan, are well versed in the usage of herbs and psynergy to help with gender dysphoria. mercury village healers are also trained in helping trans adepts transition if they choose to, and have a specific process to make sure it’s the right choice for the adept before doing so. mia is trans herself, and even though she’s the last of her clan, she has books related to this, and has studied them all in depth in case she ever needs to know how to do these things.

Jupiter Adepts have better balance than anyone else in Weyard. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Hey guys, just in case any of you wanted to submit something but weren’t sure it was allowed, headcanons about gender, sexual orientation, or romantic orientation, either about a character or how they’re perceived in Weyard, are absolutely allowed.

The same request to be respectful of each other and each other’s headcanons still applies.

Gabomba himself is, like the Serpent and Poseidon, a demispirit of great power. The Exathi of that continent built the Gabomba Statue as a means of allowing Gabomba to test the worthiness of shamans who would serve as intermediates between the spirits and the physical world, so that he wasn’t bothered all the time and didn’t risk corruption (which is what happened to both the Serpent and Poseidon, incidentally).

Unfortunately, without Exathi to maintain the structure, it fell into disrepair to the point that it couldn’t recognize any potential shamans. That’s why Oeia didn’t pass on the position to Akafubu before his death. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Jenna stayed behind instead of going with Isaac to study the ruins of Mt. Aleph BECAUSE…

—She was pregnant with their second child, and being that close to the place where the Stone of Sages formed would be harmful for the unborn baby.

—She was elected mayor of Kalay and had better things to do.

—She knew how much her brother bitterly resented Isaac, Vale, and that area in general, to where he would never show up when Isaac was around—and hoped that if she were by herself for a while, her brother would finally show his face after all these (DECADES) years to give her some sign that he was still alive.

Saturos called Kraden “Old Man” for the duration of their travels together. (And then Felix got so used to hearing it that he nearly started to do the same after taking leadership.) (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Felix is actually nonverbal and uses sign language to speak. This is why he doesn’t speak much in TLA and when he does, it’s not in speech boxes but in description boxes (his speech boxes only contain “… …” when they are shown, whereas if he notices something on the ocean, he speaks in a description box). Jenna, Kraden, Garet and Isaac, being from his hometown and knowing him for so long, all understand him perfectly, and translate for the others as well as teaching them some sign language, too.

A common misconception is that Alchemy can transmute common metals into gold, much to the disappointment of nobles around the world. (Submitted by anonymous)

The elemental Stars responded fairly well to Adepts in general, better to Adepts of the corresponding elements, but best to corresponding Clan members who were fully-realized Adepts.

Relatedly, it was Sheba’s interaction with the Jupiter Star that allowed her (and Felix) to survive the fall from Venus Lighthouse and the subsequent churning in the waves below. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

After Alchemy was sealed, the Lighthouses would only open in the presence of strong Clan Members.

Mercury: Opened by Alex.

Venus: Opened by Felix.

Jupiter: Opened by Sheba.

Mars: Opened by Karst. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Although the Lighthouses were completed separately over time, all the Stars were created simultaneously. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Genetics does play some role in how strong of an Adept you might be.

Mercury: The power for Healers is matriarchal, and strongest in women. It was not uncommon—after Alchemy was sealed—for a family to have multiple girl Adepts but no Adept sons.

Venus: The power for Warriors is patriarchal. Outside of Izumo, there are no known fully realized female Venus Adepts. This is one of the main causes for the serious decline in numbers of Venus Clan descendants.

Both Mars and Jupiter have equal chance among boys and girls—however, in both cases, there are more female Adepts than male Adepts when it comes to non-Clan Adepts. (Submitted by unluckyadept)

Each of the Clans were famous for a different aspect of humanity’s accomplishments:

Mars: Warriors

Jupiter: Scholars

Mercury: Healers

Venus: Farmers

It was more than just reputation. Fully realized Proxan Warriors were the most powerful Adepts seen on the battlefield. Anemos scholars were incredibly advanced, and trained scholars at Weyard’s largest university. Imil Healers were renowned for their successful medical practices all across Weyard.

As for Venus Clan, well… as they tended to migrate, they didn’t exactly have a distinct affiliation. However, it was said that at the end of the harvest wherever they were, you couldn’t find a richer, more abundant feast to be had. (Submitted by unluckyadept)
