          can i offer you an edmund sketch in these trying times.

[calormen]

I'll have to show my designs at some point, but Aravis has Oasis Naiad blood-- water has memory, and I think something like that fits with her skills in storytelling. Lasaraleen has cacti dryad blood, and her flowers bloom consistently and are lauded as some of the most beautiful in the Calormene empire.

Cor and Corin are dryad blooded, their designs reflect it easily. It doesnt very much tie into their personalities, but it serves as a sort of parallel-- how Corins dryad blood lauds him in Archenland vs how it does nothing for Cor in Calormen.

Nature magic is just inherently normal in certain people in Narnia ( the world ), it's a land of magic, but the gifts generally come through blood and how genuine a person is. It really reflects general need and environment. For example, Caspian X's power awakened when he started boatmaking-- something latent from his mothers side of the family ( she was an Old Telmarine, someone who kept the old practises of her people alive despite the Caspian rule alongside others of her people, and passed these stories and traditions onto Caspian X ) that allowed him to navigate easily, manipulate waters and the breeze to fill a sail. It's something he spends his life cultivating and passing down to his children.

But yeah, I'm relatively insistent in the kingdoms not being Human occupied in the way the Pevensies are human unless its specifically stated, and visual designs and such will be released and these ideas will be expanded on in full worldbuilding posts on my respective blog soon 🥰

I have a bunch of creatures and beasts in Calormen aside from dryads and naiads ( they're rather rare, since unlike in Narnia and Archenland there aren't grove dryads and such), such as Mirages ( beings of pure magic that can communicate telepathically and such, creating the mirages of the desert ) and salt nymphs and things like that to name a couple which I'm excited to go into.
