a Guide, a Champion, a Protector, a Friend

Wrongfully accused of a haunting crime and forced to flee the only home he had ever known, Lyre finds himself at the very heart of the “monsters” who haunted his cubhood horror stories… just for the occupants of the Vibrant Vale to prove themselves far kinder than anyone he had encountered before – and far more desperate as well, with their world revealing itself to be equipped with far more danger, intrigue, magic, and death than Lyre had ever known… All of which then entrusted to him to mend in the wake of great turmoil, based on words of the deified dead long past. Begged to leave once more, this time to chase more nursery tales while equipped with new goals, knowledge, and companions, Lyre steels himself with a promise to both himself and those now depending on him to find a way to fix what he had never broken… But such promises weigh heavy on young shoulders, especially as secrets unveiled grow increasingly grander, until a betrayal-torn and duty-battered Lyre finally must ask himself: Save his friends, or save the world?

Welcome to Ailurocide: a slow-to-update story initially inspired by the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, lending themes from other fantastical animal works such as Watership Down by Richard Adams, Tailchaser’s Song by Tad Williams, the Wings of Fire series by Tui T. Sutherland, and the Guardians of Ga’hoole by Kathryn Lasky, alongside the Fallout games.

Okay,, naming ideas for each of the Ailurocide groups! No context edition!

Travelers are named after the weather. (Ex: Downpour, Lightning, Whirlwind)

Clotern folk have a two-part naming system; names are given to them at birth. (Ex: Furled Leaves, Glowing Ember, Light Rain)

Horde individuals are named after weapons. (Ex: Axe, Flail, Rapier)

ALL Fealty folk, regardless of specific Fealty, have a two-part naming system: simple physically-linked prefixes at birth, body part suffixes earned at some other point at life after a great accomplishment. (Ex: Thornclaw, Spottednose, Featherheart)

House folk are named after flowers or other plants. (Ex: Snapdragon, Honeysuckle, Lantana)

House companions are named after buildings. (Ex: Dacha, Rondavel, Linhay)

Those of The Nameless are only offered “names” that are words describing their primary personality traits. (Ex: Solemn, Tactless, Gracious)

This is a genuine question that I’d like as many people to weigh in on as possible, especially if you’re a fan of ANY facet of my work. So if you’re able to/willing, please reblog! :)

Considering that Castel will be the ONLY pov character for Ailurocide’s canon books, sans bonus scenes or epilogues/prologues:

What TYPE of POV should Ailurocide be written in?

First Person (I, Me, We, Us, My)

Third Person (He, Her, Theirs, It)

Baby gets a redesign! They’re so bright and full of promise in their first appearance <3

[MAJOR SPOILERS UNDER CUT]

… And not so much in their final appearance, but hey. Promise comes in many forms! Plus, growing up can do a whole lot to a person… or felfolk
