Heeey.

Brainstorming Minecraft food lore :>

Love a woman with a tail. Something she can betray her emotions with, something to dress up in fun little accessories, and something I can grab during... heh, well, you know.

Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (Governance)

Governance Worldbuilding Questions:

What forms of governance exist (do they differ by region)? For example, monarchy, democracy, tyranny, oligarchy, anarchy.

What is the biggest threat to stable government in your world?

Who is the most loved leadership figure (or the most hated and feared) and why?

Who governs key parts of your world (e.g., this may be the pilot of a spaceship in a sci-fi story)? Will the head honcho change?

Where are the major centers of power and administration in your world, and why are they located in these places?

Where are laws and policies enforced the most, and where is the long arm of the law weakest?

When were the laws that most affect your characters passed? Are there any troubling ones on the ballots?

When did this world’s current system of government or political system come into existence, and what were the historical and cultural factors that led to its formation?

Why do characters either support or resist the government? In what ways it is benevolent or abusive?

Why do individuals or groups hold power to govern? Is it a birth right system, an electoral one, or the result of a coup or other event?

To take a break from Griffeuxes:

Feylands Government System!

They use to hold a multitude of Monarchies across the continent, but after several riots against the multiple monarchies and a lot of cleaning up: Six organizations came about to instill order and have been working cleanly after a few hiccups.

I have unifying colors for them and Flags!

In order:

Gis (Argriculture & Rural affairs)

Thalimis (Architecture, infrastructure & Water incorporation)

Ourinis (Communication, Transportation & Imports/exports)

Nekis (Law Enforcement & Millitary matters)

Mageis (Education)

Ygeis (Healthcare)

All the original leaders commissioned or hand-crafted their flag.

(Socialist Oligarchy With six major Organizations)

I write best at 3 AM because at that time I know I no longer have dignity so rewriting it at a sane hour is 1000% better

1st draft or nothing usually though

How do people even draft

Some additional Drake things.

It’s not just elk antlers that are said to give fertility from their Goddess or Mother Nature. Wild ram horns, Deer, moose horns- mainly Cervids. They are also good things to chew on in general.

Cups are oddly shaped for wyverns because they have no hands.

Thyne’s weird because he spent the first major years of his life partying and moving from town to town, creating a growing gaggle of kids until his final partner got him to sit down and realize he can’t keep on going like this. And also asked for help raising three hatchlings because that’s exhausting. He quit having flings after that.

What seems like a lot for Wyverns isn’t that much for Drakes.

Extensions :)

(Not much) More under

Okay it’s a lot more under

Their Monarchies were called Courts because the leadership and cities were built on massive Courtyards that still stand to date. Though they are abandoned (Nobody wants to occupy them because it’d be like saying you’re Crowned/genuinely rude to them) they are commonly used as marketplaces while avoiding the main castles. This is also why their Capital is not even remotely in the center of the continent: too many Court-grounds are located centrally.

Magic exists and is studied. Mageis is named and was primarily started to push studies of magic and educating *everyone* and spreading that knowledge. It’s basically a massive teacher organization (as well as magic wizards shit but that’s aside.) I’ll go more into depth after general species and environments are done.

Yes they wear badges and they color coordinate because that’s neat.

In the Third image is a leader not displayed yet! He’s a Drake so he’ll come eventually. I didn’t do his colors justice he’s such a sparkle dog.

Mirtyn (green wyvern) and Cirn (Blue Phoenix) are mentor & Trainee relationship.

I’m not completely done with Griffeuxes (there’s still so much to be talked about with them!), but I’m a bit of a multi-tasker: So! The next species I’m focusing on are the Wyverns!

But since they are apart of the draconic four-pack (Dragons, Drakes, Wyverns and Raptors) I’m going to tackle them a bit differently!

Soon.

I *wish* I could show off rears to show off particular patterning or oddness for these Griffeuxes,, but anyways

More Under.

Pearls! A sugary sweet, bubbly lass who is working to become the main leader of Ygeis, the healthcare governmental position at the behest of the other leaders due to her experience and the fact Selui has gone missing.

Selui Tuft! A shoebill/‘monkey’ Griffeux who’s gone missing! They haven’t gone missing they simply refuse to leave their home. They’re extremely experienced in curing many an Affliction and is happy to teach Pearls everything they know so they may quarantine in peace. Just stay, ten feet back. . .

Valor Olinn! There’s some speculation on what he is, but in short- He’s a big dumbass. He was elected into leadership by the people of ‘The Holy Peaks Washed in Lumidyn’s Light’ (THPWILL, I’ll never type that again)

Goldleaf Mirn! A Xanthochromatic Falcon/Cougar Griffeux. He runs the treasury and criminology section of THPWILL and is scrambling to teach Valor important, interspecies manners. One could also say he’s the Religious head of their city as well.

Ey look we got a new showrunner for the WoF show. Waltke is primarily known for working on shows like Trollhunters and whatnot as well as story development on Transformers One. Neato methinks
