★ Happy Friday! You can spend the weekend in the fictional world of your choice! Where are you going? I wouldn’t mind spending the weekend in Daevabad with Nahri, Ali, and Dara! @illumicrate included this wooden map in the January box, and I’m thinking I might frame 🤔 How are you displaying yours? The map itself was designed by Nicolette Caven, with border design by @niallcgrant Have you read the Daevabad trilogy yet? Who are your favorite characters? ★ HASHTAGS // #booksbooksbooks #illumicrate #illumicratejan2023 #sachakraborty #fictionalworlds #fantasybooks #readfantasy #bookstagram #daevabad #bookishlove #bookstack #readerlife #beautifulbooks #prettybooks #bookspines #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/CqME5EevzH8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What fictional world would you love to visit? I have a new product coming to my Etsy store which is NOT A BOOKMARK (though you could use it as a bookmark!) They're postcards for fictional locations! Well, postcard for now. We'll see how these go. This first one is for Terrasen! It started as a bit of a side project I did for fun. I wanted to try watercolour-ish painting in procreate so so set out to do this and... it turned out so much better than I was expecting! I'm quite shocked and impressed with myself 😂 It's TERRIFYING putting it not only out in the world, but also putting it up for sale so I hope you guys like it as much as I do! 🦌 PRODUCT DETAILS 🦌 These postcards are roughly 4x6 inches in size, printed on 300gsm card, and are matte laminated. They'll be on sale from the 21st of April (around 6PM AEST) for $4.50 AUD. More details about the upcoming releases can be found on @booktineusdesigns! //CHALLENGES// #booksarepugaliciousapr21 - Ketterdam: setting that comes alive #RFABApril21 - Bookmark and Book //HASHTAGS// #terrasen #fantasy #fictionalworlds #bookishmap #bookstack #erilea #throneofglass #travel #postcard #travelmemories #booksta #bookstagrammer #auskiwibooksta #ausyabloggers #bookishfanart #fanart #bookmerch https://www.instagram.com/p/CNzLJBXL45V/?igshid=1ippdc2q8xoub

Happy Weekend everyone! . If you could travel to any fictional world, which one would it be? (Doesn’t have to be a book!) Aside from Harry Potter, as we all want to go there! Middle earth from Lord of the Rings would be one I’d love to see, but also the world the Avatar movie is set in! Even though I can’t remember what it’s called 😅Weirdly enough, thinking about this question also made me think of the world The Little Mermaid is set in? I think an underwater world would be really cool to see as well! . . . #fiction #fictionalworlds #bookstagram #booksofig #booksbooksbooks #bookstagrammer #movies #harrypotter #middleearth #lordoftherings #thehobbit #avatar #thelittlemermaid #qotd #aotd #booknerd #fantasyfiction #scififiction https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUBIJWgvRR/?igshid=1jrelfn08j90q

Conlang: Ori (nouns and their cases)

I told you before about more Ori verbs and how to conjugate them. Now I will move on to nouns. As I've mentioned before, Ori nouns come in four classes (like grammatical genders): animate, inanimate, celestial, and abstract. Ori has noun cases that suffix to nouns to show their grammatical role in the sentence. There are singular and plural, and different cases depending on the class of the noun. Below are the case endings for singular animate and inanimate nouns. The column that says -C stop contains suffixes for nouns that end in an oral or nasal stop (-t, -p, -c, -b, -d, -g, -m, -n). These nouns usually get a little epenthetic -i- inserted before the case suffix, as you can see below.

Note that the blue shaded rows are where the cases for both animate and inanimate are the same.

So what do these cases mean?

Nom = nominative: this marks the subject of a verb. Example: tu-porin-ismerir 'the shepherd is dancing'

Gen = genitive: nouns in the genitive case show possession or relation. Example: lye-bus tu-ema-re 'the house of the woman; the woman's house'

Dat = dative: nouns in the dative case are the indirect object of a verb. In English, this would be often marked with the preposition to or for. Example: maropye tu-porit tu-ema-te 'give the sheep to the woman'

Acc = accusative: nouns in the accusative case are the direct object of a verb. Example: tepe-t cyepu cyan 'I took the fruit'

Loc = locative: nouns in the locative case show that something is located in, at, or on a thing. Example: bu-le ummum 'I am staying at home'

Instr = instrumental: the instrumental case is used to show that something was done by means of some noun--that this noun is the instrument. Example: restin-ir lye-holist ayalnda 'they are opening the door with a key'

Voc = vocative: this case is used when you mean to call out to someone or something. Example: Oa, porin-ca! 'Hey, shepherd!'

The cases for other classes (singulars and plurals) are below.

So let’s look at some examples of these cases in action–in actual phrases and sentences.

Hilucul-ya bellu ‘The sky is wide’

Caru-s roru-sye ‘A world of darkness’

Sesta-lu maro ‘Give [something] to life’

A hilacul-ca! ‘O, heaven!’

Yupye ti-yutar-pya! ‘Look at the cloud!’

Hustu-ce ‘by means of trust’

Hilacul-cya ‘in the sky’

Bu-s ti-hiluma-na ‘a house of the priestess’

I’ll have more examples of Ori sentences soon…
