Completed singles of the merinoXleicester and pure lamb leicester I processed recently. The plan is to ply these 2 ply to match some other natural wools in my stash so hopefully I can make a garment using all natural coloured wools.

I made two spindle whorls for @subpar-lemon-bar

(plus I cut out some pendants, pigeons and bunnies)

while Baby whorls are aquatic, how often do adults spend in the water? and how long can they stay underwater safely? i'm imagining a little town build half underwater.

Hmm, adult Whorls don't have a need to reenter the water once they've gotten their legs. They COULD go their whole lives without swimming again. But of course there is recreations and work and family reasons to do so. They can hold their breath for about two minutes tops, most usually only able to do so for 30 seconds or so. The bigger issue is their adult coating of mucus that isn't really made to be fully submerged for extended periods, so it could give them some skin issues! Altho half flooded towns would be adorable..

Also bonus problem is the fish are kind of bitey.

in swords against heaven, "skills" are the "powers" in d&d 4e.

fundamental abilities are root skills. more advanced abilities are branch skills. secret, ultimate abilities are flower skills. each of them are tiring to use, using up force, spirit, and stamina. however, skills—to be wielded properly—must be embedded deeply into one's subtle body. in points known as skill meridians.

skills are learned abilities from masters in the world. you must learn them from the world. that is the only way.

this is how i diegetized 4e's AEDU system in swords against heaven. also cultural note, but i specifically used skills in this context because of old dota culture here in the PH where we'd use "skill" to refer to the Q, W, E, R abilities of heroes (and ults are still called SS—super skills!)

full playtest doc on the patreon soon!

Hair spirals, or whorls, are formed in the womb and stay with you for life. Their number and direction are shaped by genetics and may even relate to brain development. They can appear anywhere on the body.
