A sky ship, called letica [‘letiʦa] in Bereghin, is a kind of sailing vessel used in Bereg to transport people and goods over air. Construction A sky vessel looks very similar to regular watercraft, and can usually go on water if needed. To be able to fly, sky ships are…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 192 is up! They may have agreed the dyvs are useful allies, but there are still many other things Meled and Polada don’t see eye to eye on. You know, until Prince Meled produced this thousand-yard stare, I was pretty sure he’d never been to…
It’s been a while since I promised to do a post about Bereghin language, so here we go. Well, to be honest, this is gonna end up a series of posts, because it’s difficult to describe a language in a single post. I’m also setting up a WorldAnvil profile for…
I’ve started working on the World Anvil profile for Uncharred again (nothing I’m particularly proud of yet, so no links). The main struggle is figuring out the point of view, oddly enough. When I was doing the monthly meditations last year, I noticed that I default to talking about Halqueme…
At War’s Edge webcomic episode 162 is up! Citizen Officiary and Colonel Teyr have opinions about the Republic’s political elite. Marshal Deguisay, meanwhile, has opinions about his job description. In other news, I’m still working on the Halcian language, and I just learned that the Marshal’s last name is apparently…
The tenth month of the year is called the Dusk-month in Halqueme. It is the time to be aware of the lerale of Earth — of rock and stone and of all solid matter that isn’t alive. The lerale of Earth is one of the three eldest leralath. In many…
Translation convention is a great device and I love it (and use it) to bits. But sometimes it just causes issues. So — something of a language rant incoming 🙂 Both in the webcomic and in prose, I use English to represent the PoV language. Both Bereghins and Halcians in…
The ninth month of the year on Halqueme, the one that ends with the Day of the Autumn Sun on the autumnal equinox, is called Harvest-month. Being the time when the summer of hard work finally starts to pay off (or not), it’s associated with the lerale of Justice. There…
Monthly meditation on the 15th of the Pasture-month: fire, and courage. The Lore The eighth month of the year on Halqueme, the Pasture-month, belongs to the lerale of fire. The lerale of fire — which could, perhaps more accurately, be described as the lerale of heat — is the most…
I just realized I missed this month’s monthly meditation. Whoops. This time I do have something of an excuse, though—I’m neck-deep in a new novel that I’ve taken up for this July’s camp NaNoWriMo. It explores life on the Bereghin Verge, where the human Realm of Bereg borders the mysterious…
