Here to start this!!

ive been posting little doodles to my bluesky

and im going to be posting the accompanying little lore chart here-!! :D

so heres Doodle day 013, chart update 001

I imagine the church as a "fertility church", as fairies in my world have much easier time with pregnancy, and child rearing-

theyre much more r-selected than humans are-

so now i have to consider... what actual church practices are there? is it an ancestor worship type deal? is it more of an orgy/sex cult type thing? idk! id love to hear thoughts.

otherwise i imagine caiman judge is having a secret affair- and that judges are meant to be celibate to avoid bribery (as sex is a common exchange medium among fairies)

little biology explanation of the fairies;

Faerie Biology, Section 3; Thematic Genetics

Faeries are beings of story, and have no true generics. Their forms and features are determined by their themes and the stories relevant to them.

This means when Fae mate, instead of mixing genes, they create a combination of their thematic elements.

For example, a koi mermaid and a hermit crab earth spirit may create a frog-like mud Faerie.

A frog is not the midpoint of a koi fish and a hermit crab, but mud and the frog are an effective midpoint for the mermaid's and spirit's themes of earth and water.

Finer details, such as skin tone, eye color, or hair color, can change wildly. However, these details are often simply inherited from the parent Fae.

Within many Faerie species, these finer details change very little.

Because any two Fae can mate, the Faerie species are mainly separated by social differences. Their thematic nature influences much of their outlook and behavior.

While not usually enforced, these differences often keep species separate.
