Hello and happy Worldbuilding Wednesday!
This is your opportunity to talk about your favourite bit of worldbuilding in ANY of your WIPs!
Hello! Thank you so much for the ask and I'm so sorry it took me a while to answer!
I admit I ADORE worldbuilding in general even though I'm very shy about it but I guess one of my favorite things is creating some nice and nasty little creechurs.
On the top 3 of fave creechurs I have to mention the Weeping Stones aka the Keptei. They are basically creatures with a vaguely humanoid design at times except their skin looks like stone and that's because that's what they turn into. And then they mimic teh cries of humans, mostly human children, to attrack any dumbass that passes by and then they absorb them and turn THEM into stone.
There's also the fact that in the world of A Curse Most Foul being a siren is very different than being a mermaid. Being a siren is very much like lycanthropy. If someone is unfortunate to simply get bitten or scratched by a siren instead of absolutely devoured they will from then on become a siren after the moon rises. This has created a tradition in places like the Ia-Bau Archipelago where criminals can be sentenced to being chained in a cove so they can see the sirens coming and with them their doom either way.
And finally some areas of the world have very very special terrain because thousands of years before those lands were actually just dragon territory, which has created some pretty cool environments and relationships over time, in particular with the dwarves, who love dragons and will often trade with them even in more recent times.
Thank you so much again for the ask! I'm so sorry for the ramble <3
