New week, new creature! This one is a contrast to last week's, so some similarities.
Depth Survey 004: She didn't lose her connection to the ocean. She lost her ability to read it correctly.
The Fraddam Seer isn't broken. She's certain. That's what makes her dangerous.

Un test sur une probable première page intérieure (avec le titre : Atlas Encyclopédique de Mars). Pas sûr du choix et beaucoup de hachures...
A test on the probable first page (with the title : Encylopedic Atlas of Mars). Not sure of the choice, and many hatchings to do...

Je suis plus sur les textes et autres éléments graphiques, mais je travaille toujours sur la carte générale. Ici, une vue politique globale avec la topo en cours.
I'm more on the texts and other stuff, but still working on this general map. Here's a global political view.

Nations of Cobrin’Seil: Foh-lah Rah-Jah-Pha-Urd
There is a timeline of empires on Bidestra. There was the First Elves’ attempts to own it; there was the Tiefling Empire, if you believe in it. There was the empire of Fuszaint, the most recent one, in its miserable decline. But before Fuszaint, there was the first great Human Empire, the empire of the creatures known now as Ogres, Ogre-Magi, Hags and their ilk; it was the Empire of the Urd. What it was, though, is not as important as what remains of its greatest seat, its capital, its palaces; for they are gone now, torn apart by nature itself, stripped of its identity, and returned in safe pieces to the loam that they once polluted. This is what remains. This is the land that outlasts empires, the trees that do not need anyone to speak for them, and the great regrowing that must be done to restore the scarred land. This is Foh-Lah Rah-Jah-Pha-Urd.

Man muss nicht alles zeigen, um es wirken zu lassen.
Oft wirkt das Angedeutete stärker als das Explizite – wenn man dem Lesenden Zeit gibt, die Situation zu erfassen. Was nicht gesagt wird, hängt im Raum – und in den Köpfen.

what i appreciated most here was that the MR30 walkthrough never tried to present mastery as flawless execution.
the small mistakes, recovery moments and quieter pacing made the run feel far more believable than the usual “perfect meta showcase” approach that a lot of guides fall into.
ironically, that honesty made the achievement feel more impressive to me, not less.

Sot Down (John Hibey)
Besides Linkin, there were a few others that could not stomach life under the hills. The smell of the dugouts was terrible, the echoing of the nightwind pierced their ears, and to them, sleep inside resembled death in a grave. They would stay up all night huddled together in the face of the wind, interlocked arms and legs as a block, and sleep a bit once the Sun burnt off the night wind. They were a resilient people, of whom Linkin called himself one, beaten down by wind, which howled in their ears and burnt their skin, and were tortured by the Sun’s heat of the day. But they were proud. They weren't no Gravers, mudstuck, dirtstank sleepers in tunnels. No, they were the WindBlown.https://sevenstorypublishing.wordpress.com/2026/05/12/sot-down-john-hibey/

Currently in the world I’m building while we're playing D&D in it:
The official religion recently turned out to be completely made up to cover a generations-spanning ritual meant to turn some evil individuals into actual gods. Those individuals are now dead. This is causing a bit of tension between chantry and other factions, and among the faithful themselves.
Oh and it turns out those debunked, fake gods have started literally speaking to their followers.

what surprised me most here wasn’t the action or visual spectacle, but how willing the game was to simply let moments exist without constantly interrupting them.
the quieter pacing, small conversations and sense of unfamiliarity around New Helios gradually made the world feel believable instead of performative.
ended up watching far longer than i originally intended because it genuinely felt relaxing to sit with for a while.
