New project just dropped, the elements and their representatives

It occurs to me that the Gavle Goat is usually taken out by fire, and this time it went down to strong winds. You know, air.

Maybe next year will be a water or earth assault. Do they get earthquakes in Sweden?

I'd like to say l love how you made fire the healing element since usually in media water (or something earth too) is the one capable of healing and fire is the most destructive/aggressive element. To say I was surprised and so very delighted when I read the descriptions and they didn't align with the usual/expected roles would be an understatement.

But this also made choosing the attunement of my first me so difficult because on one hand there was this creative, new and interesting type of fire user (not to mention fire is my favourite element too) on the other hand there was air and I am so very very weak to making my mc's performers and/or dancers and I also love the description of their fighting style and the fact they use a battle fans...

l agonised over it for a couple minutes but in the end I chose fire because it's my fav element (I'm loyal to my love) and I was too curious to resist.But then when I started my second play through I didn't even blink before choosing air for my second mc.

I’m glad you liked that aspect! I did a lot of research, seeing how the elements are generally paired with senses and powers, and ultimately I preferred this combo best. The Iredicci believe in balance, in both destructive and constructive forces being equal and natural, and this felt appropriate.

I did a poll awhile back and air was the top choice. Fire and water pretty much tied for second, and my poor earth was dead last by a lot. 😭 But my loyal few earth MCs will have some fun bits of flavor text this chapter; all will, but I do enjoy writing earth. 💪🏻
