Lashunta Inspirational Pic of the Week, Part ~Zhoa~
Artist Unknown

So absinthe was reputed to make its drinkers go mad. Do lashunta have a drink of similar infamy?

There's ~lamuqovau~ - sweetdeath wine - made from the berries of the kovau tree. The berries, when eaten raw, take root in the digestive track and begin to grow, eventually killing the eater. In making sweetdeath wine, the pressed sap is first boiled, allegedly destroying the threat. Yet there are witchtales of people dying from drinking it, making ~lamuqovau~ and edgy drink for those willing to dare.

A damaya and shotalashua? If so, is it her steed, or rather is she a healer? What caused the blood upon its scales?

Friday Night Lashunta Inspiration
Artist: Titian - Diana and Acteon

In a conversaton with my best friend, she advised now is perhaps the best time to gather inspiration for developing a matriarchal society for the lashunta. She told there is a lot of defiant dialog about rejecting Patriarchy that could be used, and that she would very much like to see the catalytic event that caused lashunta women to reject Patriarchy, to rise up, and to subjugate the men who had previously abused them. I got the impression she was looking for a revolution.

And yet here's the problem: she assumed lashunta women were oppressed like their human counterparts. It never occurred to her Lashunta Society might have evolved organically as a matriarchy, and there never was such a revolution. If anything, lashunta have the opposite problem: males have historically suffered under oppression.

The Damaya Matriarchy is the lashunta social norm. All other subgroups have had to endure their privilege.

Castrovel Inspirational Memory - 4 years ago
a twofer! Artist is Kloir - https://www.deviantart.com/kloir

One is a good one for Heaventide night when the sky is briefly clear, Elindrae is visible, and not only the stars, but the glowmotes are in bloom, and the fireflies are taking advantage to come out. This is the time of year when lashunta build bonfires and summon witchlights to celebrate with mead and berrywine after the harvest's long day. The other, more of a diurnal pic, illustrates an example of the non-green nature of Castrovel's foliage (although green does exist).

Since I've previously talked about the almost constant rain Castrovel undergoes, I suppose it would be a fair statement that the pics I post disproportionately show drier weather. I've mulled on this. Part of it may be one gets more vivid work with better light, whereas a truly rainy scene would be so muted it may not stand out.

Mid-Week Lashunta Inspiration
Artist: Bastien Lecouffe Deharme

For most of Lashunta History, the psychic arts have been revered, even venerated, expect for one period.

In the Age of the Thief-Queens, the Yaro Valley's foreign-born rulers feared the powers of their usurped predecessors. The last Sage-Queens' greatest sucesses came from the psychic might they wielded.

This is the one period in Lashunta Literature where the ~Raulaza Masha~ - the equivalent of the Evil Sorcerer - appears.

Castrovel has much talk of ~aiudara~ Elvenwork worldgates, as well as one made by older, less savory crafters.

How about this for a worldgate design?

Mid-Week Lashunta Inspiration, ~O'Dini-Heili~ - Celebrating Pride!
Artist: Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1871)

In my polyamorous-normative worldview of lashunta, chastity is not defined as abstinence, but as refraining from heterosexual activity. Within late adolescence and early adulthood while lashunta are completing their military service, same-sex relationships are encouraged in order to delay pregnancy until afterward. Only after completion when female undergo their bridetide is it permitted.

Needless to say, some relationships endure. Lady Vaeol our narrator had two wifemates before she took a fathermate to have a child, and maintained both of those relationships going forward.

Warwick Goble (1862-1943)

What do birds mean to Lashunta? Some they know, maybe the low-level, broad-winged, stealth-fliers like owlshrikes under the megadendra rainwood leaves and who fly competition with Castrovel's mobats and lichbats. Yet what about the birds who fly higher over the treetops? How do they conceive of these creatures so high above their experience?

From the angle, the wingtips of her skullcap crest almost look like antennae. We also have a statue - which could be of a Korasha - hulking in the background.

One question: are those boots she's wearing, or is the stuff in the pool crawling amoeba-like up her legs??

Castrovel Inspiration Memory - 2 years ago
Artist is Raymond Swanland

In my articles and creative worldbuilding exercises, I've written of the Moqeva wielding 'eldritch weirdmight', the details of which the Lashunta have lost between history and legend. Did the Moqeva's psychic powers merely exceed the Lashunta's? Did they have accees to alien technology the primitive Lashunta could not understand, which allowed them to engineer and unleash the first moldstorms? Or did the Moqeva truly commune with megascopic, unclean powers from beyond Father-Night's protective cloak, with whom they bartered their souls and sanity in sorcerous pacts?

This younger world that has forcibly purged itself of ancient, painful memories may never know.
