#Driftwood for Sale

[m00ndingochan]

[averruncusho]

you once told me about your helper, who was forced by her parents to abandon her lover to marry a man she didn’t know. Until now, I still don’t know why anyone would tolerate that. Why would you let your family ruin your happiness forever? It seems so stupid to me; why would you not choose freedom? I guess you always knew, and I guess I’ll never know

WOF tribe Merchant/Trading booth concepts:

Hey folks! This one was the recent winner of this WOF poll, so here’s my concept art that headcannons trading in Pyrrhia.

Read below cut for close-ups of the individual booths + the thought process / headcannons behind the design choices: 👇

Skywings: The Sky Kingdom’s mountain ranges provide plenty of pasture for raising sheep. As such, Skywing shepherds benefit from traveling to sell their wool, dyes, fabric, and woven tapestries. Many of these merchant tables also include herbs grown exclusively in the mountains, or ibex drinking horns that can be strapped on a dragon’s shoulder & carried in flight.

Along with goods, Skywing merchants may offer sewing services to fix tears, burn marks, or other fabric damage. They are sought out for their quality clothing, and most fabric across Pyrria originated from a Skywing’s talons.

Mudwings: Mudwings’ abundant food & cooking skills are envied almost anywhere in Pyrrhia. Their swamps have fertile soil, responsible for hosting diverse crops which can be purchased as produce at merchant stalls. For those lucky enough to find a traveling Mudwing merchant, the promise of a delicious dish can be whipped up and served at the stall in no time. Along with produce goods, Mudwings sell weaved baskets, spices, and cooking ware.

Sandwings: Sandwing booths offer luxuries of the desert: It’s most common to find accessories such as gold carved jewelry or musical instruments such as drums, lyres, & mandolins for sale. Though, even more sought out across Pyrrhia is Sandwing tattoos/piercings, which are done within the merchant areas. Ink etchings on papyrus paper are stationed outside their tents to showcase designs. All which can be selected, and poked into the skin with a tapping stick and plant dye ink by a trained talon.

Seawings: SeaWings sell a variety of ocean related goods; taking a share in the fish market with Icewings. Outside of food, there are den decorations like driftwood carvings, accessories such as seashell & pearl jewelry, and rope nets weaved by expert Seawing sailors. Some Seawings even sell fishing equipment, canoes, or offer sailor knot tying instructions to curious dragon buyers.

Nightwings: During the war, it was near impossible to find a Nightwing merchant. Most refused to participate in merchant territory, mostly as a way to keep up with their tribe’s mysterious nature.

Though in the more shady, unground parts of the market you can buy from a huge selection of obsidian weaponry, the sharpest in Pyrrhia. No one knew initially how Nightwings smithed so many weapons, or why, until their secret volcano kingdom and the intention to invade the rainforest was discovered. Then forging armor & weapons became clear. Along with a vast armory, for the right price, some Nightwing merchants offer Prophecies & Nightwing Literature (not always guaranteed to always be reliable) and assassin services as well (very reliable).

Rainwings: Though Rainwings haven’t been part of Pyrrhia trading for years, they have a vast hold on dragon medicine. An apothecary of herbs, salves, and remedies are all offered for various ailments due to the rainforest’s abundant resources. Along with medicinal goods, many Rainwings are fruit vendors, promising to any hesitant meat-eating dragons that such an array of flavors isn’t to be missed. Though, their fruit selling pitches often fall flat to most other predominantly meat-eating tribes.

Icewings: Icewings have everything a dragon could need to brace the cold, with a selection of goods only found in the most frigid regions of Pyrrhia. Furs, bone jewelry, and fresh fish (thanks to frost breath) are served on ice. Though Icewings themselves don’t require fur to withstand the cold, it’s considered fashionable and common in upper ranks to wear fur as a status symbol. Since metal is hard to smith without fire & in cold temperatures, fur and bone are more accessible to Icewings for clothing statements.

Why exactly did they decide to make Aegon SA the maid? In the books he never assaults anyone. He is known to have a “large carnal appetite” but it’s never mentioned that these women were forced in anyway. The closest we get is when we hear that he won the virginities of two maidens at an auction in flea bottom. Which, by my understanding, means he paid extra to be a whore’s first customer. It wasn’t some sweet innocent girl like we see in the show. The girls already worked in the brothel learning their trade. They don’t just yoink girls off the street and out their virginity up for sale.

So why include it in the show? Was it because they realized Aegon wasn’t nearly as horrible as Rhaenyra, so they had to do something?

Rhaenyra has 3 bastards that everyone knows about, but can’t say anything. Just committing open treason and no one is allowed to point it out.

She had beef with a literal 2 year old. She had multiple tantrums at her little brothers second name day hunt. Also looked right at him and compared the death squeals of a boar to the crying to children.

Suspected of killing her first husband. In the show, she shows Laenor mercy, but has no problem killing off one of his servants because they needed a body. You don’t understand! She reconnected with her uncle by fucking him on the beach at his late wife’s funeral! She just HAD to marry Daemon instead! Who cares that Laenor was in the process of recommitting himself to their marriage when she sprung this idea on him? He gets to live penniless with his boyfriend in Pentos or something! All he had to do was give up his family, his inheritance, his power, his place at court and all his wealth, along with the life of one of his father’s servants. Sure, he could have kept all those things, but then Daemon would get all broody about how he can’t openly fuck his niece!

Her second eldest is adamant he doesn’t want the Driftwood throne. She forces him to fight for it anyway rather than just quietly sending word that Luke is willing to allow Vaemond to inherit in his place.

Suggesting Aemond be tortured to learn where he heard her sons being called bastards after Luke just slashed out his eye. Not to mention that snobby “Thank you, father” that was totally inappropriate, unnecessary and sent Alicent over the edge.

In comparison, Aegon is a teenage boy who… likes drinking and jerking it. The worst thing he has done was mock his brother with a pig. Alicent corrects this behavior, and from what I can tell, the two boys were friendly towards each other after the time jump. Aemond and Aegon are chatting before dinner. Aemond stands to defend Aegon when Jace acts like he may try something. When Aemond gets punched by Jace and then pushes him to the ground, Aegon grabs Luke before he can do anythjng. Clearly they have grown close.

We see the twins at the fighting pit where Aegon allegedly goes often. How can they know that, though? Earlier in that episode Otto asks his personal guard (either Erryk or Arryk. Their names sound the same and they have the same face, I don’t know who is who) where he is and his guard admits that Aegon exploits his authority to order him away and then evades him. He admits he doesn’t have a clue what he gets up to. Then, later we see a boy with blonde hair and purple eyes, and it’s Aegon’s. No doubt in anyone’s mind. Clearly Aegon is knowingly breeding child fighters for the pit. Weird how he wasn’t there, though.

Matter of fact, the white worm just found him drunk off his ass and stashed him in the sept. That’s what he was getting up to. Getting drunk and likely paying for sex.

Now let’s analyze the scene where Alicent confronts Aegon.

Alicent is IRATE and Aegon is half asleep. Looks like he hasn’t moved in a while, tbh. Aegon asks if something happened. Don’t you think he would know if he did something? His mother reminds him about Dyana, and he seems very nonchalant about it. Not the kind of reaction you would expect from someone that just forced himself on a struggling servants. He saw it as just a bit of fun. His reaction just seems… off.

Now, we know GRRM likes to repeat plot points. One in the original series was Cersei only laying with Robert when he was drunk so she could finish him off some other way, and he wouldn’t remember. Aegon is a known drunk. There were no witnesses. Who’s to say Dyana isn’t a spy or a mole sent to fuck shit up?

She is in season 2. Why bring back an SA victim in season 2 if she doesn’t have more to add to the story? Sure, there could be a revenge arc, but from my understanding, Dyana is at a brothel in season 2. Now, did she wind up there after the Aegon incident (hard to believe considering she was given a pouch of coin to start a new life and she only made it to the end of the palace driveway) OR she went back to where she came from. Back to her mistress, the White Worm. We see she employs young women in her service. Who’s to say they didn’t make the whole thing up to try and sway more people towards Rhaenyra’s cause? Nothing makes a man look worse than SA.

So all the horrible things Aegon has done so far, has been hearsay. We don’t see anything other than him bullying Aemond when they were kids. So either the writers had to do something totally awful with his character, or it wouldn’t be such a landslide siding for Rhaenyra.

You know if they hadn’t decided to assassinate his character, it would be much closer to a 50/50 split. They also had to whitewash the hell out of Rhaenyra to make her more likable. In the books, SHE orders Vaemond’s death and feeds him to her dragon. So in the same episode they blackwashed Aegon and whitewashed Rhaenyra so the audience would root for her. Then they had the balls to say WITH THEIR WHOLE CHEST that they aren’t biased in their writing.

Some guys from my electric company came by to do an administrative checkup bc the city had changed something and people might be overpaying and yadda yadda, but the guys they send on this one off mission where clearly their sales guys, and one of them could not turn of their manic sales pitch energy but he didn't have anything to sell, so he just started to make soo much small talk while his collegue was doing it's thing but the problem is he was doing it in my appartment, about the things you can spot in my appartment, so the conversation went like this.

*walking in* "OH THIS IS NICE! NICE INTERIOR! PLANTS!" "yeah hehe, eh thanks" "OH IS THAT AN AQUARIUM!! BIG!! WHAT THE ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION ON THAT?" "oh it's pretty light, I got l.e.d. and the filtration is just a simple pump that pulls water trough the DIY filter chambers...." "ALLRIGHT COOL AND THAT?? STICKBUGS OR SOMETHING???" *pointing at my terrarium that currently just has some driftwood stored in it* "Oh it's empty right now, there was a giant landsnail but it died recently" "HOW?" ".... how did it die?" "YEAH" "eh you see insects don't reall get sick like we do, it-" *realising the technical explanation doesn't fit the speed of the conversation "... it's insides exploded to the outside." "OH. BAD." "yeah that's generally pretty bad" "ALLRIGHT SEEMS YOUR CONNECTION IS FINE HAVE A NICE DAY"

ayyyy whats up tumblr im having a kofi sale!

my heating bill is absolutely absurd this month for some goddamn reason, so i put a bunch of stuff on my kofi shop on sale. most items have gone down by $5-10, and almost everything has free shipping to the USA.

here are some of the weird and wonderful items you may be able to purchase from me:

VAMPIRE ROSARIES

yes, they have teeth. yes, they have blood. yes, i have three of them and none have sold yet for some reason? get on this deal before i decide to keep them myself!

HERETIC PRIDE KANDI

i mostly made these because i wanted them, but i had enough beads for more so i made multiple sets. there are also chokers.

VARIOUS OTHER ROSARIES

i just really like making rosaries tbh. the driftwood & teeth one has been on my shop for over a year so it's been discounted multiple times. the other ones are newer, but they're cool as hell imo, so they're worth the extra couple bucks.

EVEN MORE WEIRD TEETH JEWELRY

is this what the kids these days call "goblincore"? they've got teeth. they've got skulls. they've got mushrooms. one of them even has a bell from an old cat collar. these necklaces will trans your gender, guaranteed*!

BOOKS!

oh god oh fuck i have so many books. hold on. wait a second.

PRIDE FLAG BOOKS !

i started these in pride month last year and it took me like five months to finish them. oops! you can buy them now though, and these ones are quite affordable compared to my usual journals and notebooks.

OTHER BOOKS

i'm not even going to include a link for this one because there's seven of them. just scroll through the shop, you'll find them. i have a couple with lined paper, and i think there's one with grid paper left too, if you're the kinda person who likes grid notebooks. they're all discounted at least $5, and shipping is free on all of them! this is a big deal, tbh, because these are pretty damn expensive and time-consuming to make, so take advantage of the sale if you are in need of a new notebook! these ones are very cool!

Pangzi wears Xiaoge as a backpack I HAVE TOO MANY FEELINGS ONLY PANGYE CAN CONTAIN THEM ALL:

He first does it on the way out of the desert, the sun scorching their combined backs and the air bitterly cold. Xiaoge keeps his back shaded, and Pangzi keeps Xiaoge's front warm. He's too light; his wrists dangle down like driftwood wind chimes, but he's warm and breathing.

Pangzi puts his emptied pack back on over Xiaoge, and pulls the straps tight. Ahead of them, Wu Xie slogs doggedly along the path picked out by his compass, and Pangzi puts his head down and walks.

Xiaoge breathes cool air over his sweaty neck and the fabric trapped between them grows sodden with their combined body heat. At the edges, where sweat wicks into exposed cotton, the wind chills it instantly to ice. Pangzi can't tell if that's a relief from the burning heat, or the worst shit he's ever felt. He spends way too long thinking about it, one foot in front of the other, trudging onwards towards the camp Wu Xie insists exists.

He hopes Xiaoge doesn't mind having Pangzi's sweat on him; there's no way the Great Zhang Qiling is sweating. Hah!

---

The second time is soon enough after the first that Pangzi wonders whether Xiaoge was awake enough to remember that journey, because Xiaoge fits himself onto Pangzi's back like he is a backpack.

He's exhausted, mildly feverish, and only got off the tubes and monitors a day ago. Pangzi should not have brought him out to the gardens without a wheelchair to haul him back after. But he'd needed to see Xiaoge amongst green and growing things, and he was right; Xiaoge had come alive with plants to molest with his Zhang fingers. He'd even taken his slippers off before walking on the grass, so now Pangzi has to deal with pale green stains on his trousers, where Xiaoge's feet brush against the white fabric.

"Hup we go..." He warns, and Xiaoge curls tighter over his shoulders, bony elbows jabbing his collarbones as though Xiaoge's joints are just suggestions rather than actual rules. Bony and boneless, please make your mind up, Xiaoge.

He feels Xiaoge's sigh against the back of his neck, then the press of a sharp nose against the muscles between neck and shoulder; it was too much input, Pangzi should have known it would be. Back to the quiet room in the stroke ward he goes, Xiaoge's slippers dangling from his fingers and the man himself doing half the work of holding on to Pangzi's back.

Experimentally, Pangzi lightens his grip on Xiaoge's thighs, and the grip only gets firmer.

He lets go completely, and Xiaoge hold himself in place without problem.

"Hah! I'm one big mamma, and you're a baby monkey, ah?" He jokes, putting his hands back under Xiaoge's knees so the poor man can rest a bit. Xiaoge sighs heavily and goes limp as a sand bag.

"Alright, alright, this way..."

He gets a few strange looks, and is challenged by a security guard, but the band on Xiaoge's wrist is as good as a passport, and back they go.

---

The third time, Xiaoge isn't even ill.

As far as Pangzi can tell, and he's getting good at this hazy-eyed version of their Xiaoge, he's just grumpy. Their walk through the old streets of the antiques district had been peppered with quiet announcements about fake goods, and Pangzi had had to stop Xiaoge telling the whole market about it. They couldn't take that kind of heat! And Xiaoge didn't have a sword!

He'd been able to tell at a glance, in most cases, and occasionally with a touch, and apparently he had been restraining himself for their entire acquaintance, because the twist of his lip at the worst of the forgeries is hilarious. And going to get them both beaten straight out of the market.

He gets mulish about leaving, and Pangzi off-handedly threatens to carry him back to his shop and put him up in the window for sale, at which point Xiaoge climbs onto his back and hunkers there like a barnacle.

His hood brushes against Pangzi's freshly clipped undercut, and he feels the brush of eyelashes against the skin of the back of his neck, and Xiaoge goes tense all over in a shiver, then lax again.

Pangzi grabs him under his knees, hefts him up a little, and accepts that technically he did offer.

Lore24 Compilation - June

Another month, another step down in the year’s challenge! (toots a tiny horn)

Following on from May’s bestiary theme, for this month, once again we went with a theme with a supremely tortured pun. The idea was to lay some adventure hooks, using the locations fleshed out in March’s posts. Each location would have its own unique notice board, on which NPCs would put up community notices that would potentially lead players to quests. See if you can guess which board goes where! Please enjoy - Junventures.

1 - You see a notice board, made of a dark wood with a thin coating of ice. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Help Wanted: Must Win Bet

Adventurers wanted to settle a bet. My friend claims that there is nothing to the south, as if the world falls into nothingness as on maps. I protest his foolishness, but he will not be swayed! Reward for accompaniment to venture past the southern border, and bonus for a safe return.”

2 - You see a notice board, made of salvaged driftwood, warped slightly by salt. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Concerned Citizens!

I know that you all are worried about the abandoned ship that appears to be docked out in the bay, past the known safe passages. We are seeking a brave soul, but will accept more!, to investigate. If while you’re there, you could also send the vessel on its way somehow, I believe our fishermen would appreciate it!”

3 - You see a notice board, made of a light wood inlaid with gold filigree. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“I heard from my mate’s friend’s wife that the Mint is actually keeping only a BIT of what they actually keep in the vaults! Most of the good stuff is stashed underground, just outside the city. Equal share for joining in, shares go up if someone else doesn’t make it.

No backstabbing. Can’t do it again. Time critical.”

4 - You see a notice board, covered with graffiti of all manner of accusations, claims, and vulgarities. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Looking 4 New Muscle

Planning raid on castle. Figure they cant get us all. Ifn you can knock out Big Lou, yer in. Lose and we take your shit. Make it through 3 rounds and we’ll talk bout it.

If your a cop, you have to tell us. Also piss off, this ain’t for you. You come, you dy. Don’t believe me ask your mum.”

5 - You see a notice board made of tessellating bricks and tiles. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“WANTED FOR IMMEDIATE SALE

ONE DRAGON SKULL, THREE STRIPS OF SEEKER HOUND LEATHER, TWO GEMS OF GREEN COLOURATION

MONEY NO OBJECT

MY DESIGN NEEDS IT. THE VOICES SAY THAT IS THE KEY. THE TEMPLE IT CREATES WILL OUTLAST MY TENURE AS MAYOR. WE WILL FEAST AND REVEL UNDER THEIR LIGHT

PLEASE

they worry me”

6 - You see a notice board of manasteel and brass alloy. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Seeking day labour to prepare for upcoming landing and Restoration Day. Hard workers preferred, but work can be found for all who wish. Restoration Day is an important time for all Citadels, and we don’t want to be outdone again, do we? Where’s our civic pride?! Work will largely consist of construction of a performance stage, so we can show off our best!”

7 - You see a notice board of stone, wrapped with vines. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“This your bird?

Found a bird in jungle. Pretty. Flaps wings like storm. White of cloud and blue of sky. Does not appreciate good story. Every morning wakes up dead. Unmoving and cold. Grey of rain. Each night, wakes again. Singing to friends? Singing, yes. Will trade for bird unless is yours. Then you claim in trade for story. Good story. Like food but for heart.”

8 - You see a notice board made of rough hewn wood with worn stain. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“What’s Up There?!

I’ve lived a long life, and done a great deal of things, this is undeniable. But for all my achievements, I have never scaled Mt. Sanmaya; the tallest peak of the land. There has to be something up there! But my age betrays me. If you carry me up there, you may have your choice of my life’s treasures. You will not be disappointed.”

9 - You see a notice board made of a dark wood, cut at perfect angles. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Assassin? Or something worse?

Not many seem to have noticed, but I have; Those under the tutelage of Mistress Atonement, but choose another path, seemingly fall ill; even perishing in extreme cases. This cannot be a coincidence. Either some foul play is afoot, or this is a warning sign of things to come for us all. Please help me investigate.”

10 - You see a notice board, made of an odd coloured wood and poorly maintained. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“BOUNTY ON THE RAT

Some joker in a mask keeps interfering with our warehouses, and beating up our boys. Leaving notes.

And before you say it, I know what rats look like. This ain’t no rat. This is some crazy lady.

Reward if you figure out who she is. More if you get her to stop. More if you bring her here, alive.”

11 - You see a notice board, simply made with accessories of bone tied to it. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Songs of the hills?

Last time I went out for a ride, I swear I heard someone singing. Even though I tried to look, I couldn’t see anyone. But the sound was real! I did my best to copy the song, and Old Marwa said she recognised it from her grandfather? But no one else knows it, so what’s going on?! Help me find out who’s singing!”

12 - You see a notice board, intricately carved with imagery of dancers and other artistic displays. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“What If It’s Not Just A Threat?!

Opening night is coming up, and again we’ve received a letter from a self-proclaimed superfan. This time though, it says that they intend to steal our star before the performance, ruining the show! Looking for people to investigate, but will settle for a decent replacement.”

13 - You see a notice board, plain and unadorned except for a pair of simple iron caps on the posts. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Missing Sentinel

One of the sentinels responsible for guarding the town square has failed to report for duty. Witnesses claim it was seen heading east, and that there was something wrong with its hand. Reward for safe return, whole or in parts. Command scroll to be provided.”

14 - You see a notice board, simply made with accessories of bone tied to it. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Will Pay For Water

A week back, five blue lights appeared around my well, making lines between them in a star shape. No matter what we try, nothing can get past those lines. Even trying to break the well underneath them! We’re getting desperate. We’ve already accepted the loss of crops, but we’re getting so thirsty. We need water!”

15 - You see a notice board of manasteel and brass alloy. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Seeking the perfect companion?

Come visit the menagerie! Located on the main street of Punhan district, the Commodore has granted permission for release and sale of some of our most requested animals to celebrate Restoration Day! We recommend a strict vegetarian diet for most of our cuddliest friends. More information on adoption! Mention this flyer for a prize!”

16 - You see a notice board of stone, wrapped with vines. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Many herbs grow out in the wilds. I’m too frail to go myself, and it’s not something that can be cured. But I know they can provide relief to others, and I need to prove my worth. It’s the only way I can be sure they wouldn’t abandon me. So if you are able to travel out to get me some herbs (list provided), I can convince the others to let me stay. Thank you.”

17 - You see a notice board, made of salvaged driftwood, warped slightly by salt. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“The DEADLIEST Game!

It’s well known that people-hunting is the most dangerous game.

OR IS IT!?!?!

Anyone who’s ever lived near or on the sea KNOWS that there are bigger fish to catch. LITERALLY! There are giant fish out there who could swallow your ship whole! And you think YOU stand a chance?!

Join me on my next hunt. If you DARE!!!”

18 - You see a notice board, plain and unadorned except for a pair of simple iron caps on the posts. Many signs are posted, but one catches your eye…

“Missing island?

While cleaning my grandfather’s estate, I stumbled across a pile of old maps. One of them shows the five continents as we know them, but also labels an additional island that’s missing from every map that’s newer. What is ‘Dosoga’? I will be mounting an expedition; please join if you have information.”

Too many people forget that I’m one of the original gang bosses in this town. So it’s time for a big plan, and I need some extra hands. No one in this town is trustworthy enough though. I will steal the bridge out of town to prove I’ve still got it.

Yes, the whole bridge.

No, this isn’t a joke.

And no, you can’t keep it.”

No music is to be played for the duration of the building year. Those claiming to be Bards are to be exiled immediately. Performance is allowed, but only of the more noble arts.

“Grandson Wants A Gift

I’ve always tried to do right by my family, even if I had to stay away from them for so long in my younger days. So when my grandson said that he wanted a flying carpet for his birthday, how am I supposed to say no? Actual question. I need to be able to deny him without guilt, or give him what he asked for. Any advice?”

So what did you think? Anything sound intriguing? Would you take any of these jobs? Let us know, and we’ll see you for July. And I’m sorry in advance. 😅
