In #WhereTheyLurk, the magic system is crystal-based. The crystals hold magical energy, and you can deplete them of that energy completely.

The colours of the crystals does have them lean towards certain magic types, but it is not always clear.

Today I roughed out a map of the valley that Eloailsa village is in.

I hope to redo it after I practice map-making more, but this will at least help with writing.

The tree assets were made by AoA. https://payhip.com/AoA

I made my assets using Clip Studio Paint (free alternative is #Krita) and put it all together in a map using #Wonderdraft.

I haven’t named these creatures yet, but they are the main livestock for Eloailsa.

They are used for plowing soil, milk, and they are even sheared for the wool in summer. The wool is the primary fibre source for the village.

They are not fast runners, so if their young is threatened, adults form a circle of defence. Their large and rotating ears help warn them of danger.

Day 24: "Are there magic powers in your World?"

Oh yeah. Most wildlife and some livestock have some kind of psychic power. Almost all people have a little psychic something-or-other.

The land and sea and sky of the Worlds are all inherently magical.

The Stars impart celestial magic and wisdom upon those who pray to them. Darker forces whisper temptation to those who seek power.
