The Lost Locket Antique Store is taking longer than expected to draw, so I took a small break to make this: the world of Nijezdo.

Taliriktug's formal wear (+ Jurklid)

Finally, I've figured out this man, at least kinda. This was suppose to be Taliriktug's (tah-lee-reek-tuhg) normal wear, but fuck me if it ain't way too colorful for what I'm going for. But I like it enough for it to be something formal. Also he has his white hair back! Yay! (It looks way better honestly, I don't know what I was thinking)

Also, the animal he's based on, the jurklid (yuhrk-leed). A steadfast and strong animal that's considered holy to Tali's tribe. So, him being the son of the Løknngir (Leuk-ngeer - Shaman) and a jurklid is quite the high status you can get in his Village.

Also, I've come up with the idea that Centaurs, due to the fact they have some control over the animal's they're connected to, it's tradition for young Centaurs to find and tame their animal. so I've decided that this picture also shows his pet jurklid (name still pending)

Alberrek, God of Leadership

Alberrek is also known as the God of Humes, Wisdom, and Justice. He is the Leader of Order, and the creator of Humes, Alberrek is known to be one of the kindest of gods. He loves the people of Nijezdo, and resents leaders who use their power to subjugate, and tends to give them quite the punishments in the Souls Barren.

It is said that he holds the ring of Nijezdo in his shepherd's crook, and clawed his own eyes out, as to be a fair and just judge.

Merya Sorotov (+ Rogatsu Yeba)

Finally finished my girl, Merya Sorotov (Mer-yah Sow-row-towv), formally Meara O'Sullivan, who's probably the one character in Evergreen's Leit that has changed the most. And in a weird way, we've kinda come full circle, but since that'll take way too long to explain, I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Merya is a Mermaid, which in this story means she can both walk on land and swim in the sea, and Merfolk do this the same way Selkie do. By using a second skin based off the animal they semi-transform into, Merya's being the ferocious rogatsu yeba (row-gah-tsoo yeh-bah). Which literally means "Horned Shark". Her second skin being the... Shal? around her shoulders.
