Day 88 of #the100dayproject, exploring the #inboundlands over the course of #100daysofvagary. Though the #Birdfolk are known for their merchant empire, they have not always had such a stable history. In more tumultuous times, Flocks warred against other Birdfolk competitors - overtly or insidiously - and their dominating stature often found impressive use through physical force against other Folken who resisted early attempts to open trade or barter needed resources at Birdfolk rates. As scare tactics, Birdfolk Warriors would dip their hands, feet, and weapon tips in sacrificial blood (animal or otherwise), and their agile, swift, ground troops - accustomed to the self-sufficiency of caravan or caravel life - moved in devastatingly independent cells who needed little oversight or supply line. . . . . . #illustration #exploration #worldbuilding #adventure #100dayproject #artist #creative #game #100days #art #war #spear #battle #javelin (at Nashville, Tennessee)
