I'm thinking if making the Dynize architecture very reminiscent of Art Noveau,

Tho.. I'm kinda scared it might look funky instead of interesting and pretty neat.

I got lore ideas and history behind it but I'm not quite sure if it holds up but hoping it might

Just had a breakthrough on one fo the naming sequences in powdermage!

Cause they barely have anything on this specific culture like it's so random. Like they have influences from I think Aztec nomenclature but other than that, nothing I can identify for now. It varies a lot.

You don't see a lot of patterns

Specifically it's about the Dynize.

I have something, though little, I can work around! I think

So Dynize and Palo are sister languages, they both originated prolly from Old Dynize. We have very few examples of what that looks like, and we don't even have a lot of examples of words on both languages,

What we do have are honorific titles, and names

Both retained the use of Meln to refer to household heads,

(the household system is another topic entirely)

But what Im working on is the title Ji, used as an honorific to Dragon Men(they dragon men, dragon man.. but it has any gender really, it's all encompassing)

So examples of how this works would be the characters Ji-Orz, and Ji-Noren.

However, there's also a household named in the book Wrath of Empire, called Jerotl, and in the worldbuilding fic, I just decided to name one of the countries 20 years after the sequel trilogy, Jerotl.

And I thought, it might be a stretch but if I could lean on the name being regional I could prolly make Jerotl, has its roots as Ji, and who knows maybe this household was a prominent family that had a lot of Dragon Men, or they might've been established by a Ji-Rotl, or I could extend it to be Ji-Rolunlica , or Ji-Ropali. Both based on names of Dynize characters.

Or even that Ji is just the more modern and prolly what the capital region uses and that Je might be the rural one and could also be an older form of the title.

Also I might be losing my mind, I really need powdermage friends t-t

Here's what the western hemisphere looks like and a zoom on The Jerotl Commonwealth

Also timeline on this fic is roughly 1860s ajacent

Finished book 1 of the powder mage series. I only did audiobook for this one and it made the first half~ pretty rough. By the time it started meaningfully building towards the climax, I was hooked though. Tanis reminds me of The First Law’s Glokta in a fun way, but the series is less dark while still remaining gritty. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed The First Law series, but wanted a little more magic in their setting. A solid 8/10

#ListeningTo #PromiseOfBlood by @brian.mcclellan in #audiobook form. Thanks to @mysapl & @bexarbibliotech for having this available. Ive never listened to a #PowderMage story. Whole thing starts off coming down from a coup giving you a sense of being rattled very much like the main character, who’s summoned to the castle afterwards by the rebellion, unaware of what’s happened but quickly putting pieces together. #magic #MusketsAndMagic #MagicAndMuskets #mage #fantasy #sciencefiction #fantasyandsciencefiction #bookstagram #bookworm #ListenWhileYouWork (at San Antonio, Texas)
