*chanting* Moth god moth god moth god–

They don’t have a name/names yet, but they’re the patron god of navigation and cartography. They can tell you where you are no matter where that may be. The maps they help to create are prized for their accuracy and durability, but are very difficult to obtain. Those that aren’t hidden away or displayed in popular travel stops are held by the most respected of travellers and merchants, who could be considered legends on their own if they gained favor from such a god.

Can’t believe I never posted one of my main characters here, Toukata! Couldn’t find anything with them on my main so they’re going here.

The background is irrelevant because this was for art class and I was told to add one.

Toukata’s parents!

I’ll be explaining the wings in a later post, I’m just posting art(before I forget to) at the moment.

Ok, now for several posts detailing stuff.

Firstly, the reason Toukata’s wings are so simple in comparison with their parents’ is genetics! Think of it like the rex gene in rats; one inherited rex allele gives the rat pup wavy fur, but two rex alleles results in a hairless, or partially hairless rat.

In Toukata’s case they inherited two alleles connected to their wing pattern, which led to just having the simple yellow eye spots. Said spots come from Nahar’s side, but gain their coloration from Dalran.
