The weathering continent (1992)

This movie is very beautiful (witch is the only reason i watch anything) and i liked three main characters and they're dynamic, which consists of a silly girl, Lakis, a serious guy, Bois, and a thoughtful magician of indeterminate gender, Tieh. The best thing about this film was definitely the vibe, it feels melancholic and thoughtful even in the funny moments. It follows our three main characters ass they make a journey acros a desert and find a mystical city thought to be lost. It doesn’t, however, feel like a movie, it feels more like an episode of a larger series, We get almost no information on the world, we have no idea where thy're going and we only get a breif glimpse of Lakis' backstory. After doing some research i figured out that it was based on a manga with explains it, i sadly hasn’t able to find an english translation of the manga (perhaps it exists but im just not looking hard enugh)

i definetly recomend 8/10

Every single time Bells Hells has gone into battle, there's a tiny part of my mind that is chanting to the tune of Your Turn To Roll

"Gelidon, Gelidon, GeliDON, GELIDON"

Tysm for mentioning and recommending Madeline James. I’m learning so much for my fantasy world!

RIGHT it's truly everything i wanted from a worldbuilding guide

What are some things you like the most about the sea?

I was once in love with a girl who reminded me of the sea and now every sea in the world is her.

Would Phoenix Drop experience hurricanes?

The way Jess has put her map of Ru'aun and my barebones knowledge of meteorology implies potentially not. In fact, I think O'Khasis and Scaleswind would be more likely to experience hurricanes than Phoenix Drop would*. At least, that is if Ru'aun was in a similar geographical spot as the USA.

(The continent has a tundra and Pikoro village was described to be a bit chilly iirc, it leads me to believe that Ru'aun may be located in the northern hemisphere, but also its minecraft so it could also mean nothing)

*disclaimer: I'm not a master of meteorology or weather stuff, I'm basing all of this on stuff I do know and what I remember from when my class taught it a few weeks ago, and then going off what I think would make sense.

Scaleswind is a mountain region, but its still close enough to the ocean that if a hurricane were to hit, (which it potentially would since Scaleswind sits south-east of the continent and hurricanes travel west-to-east) then it would at least experience some pretty bad storming.

Depends on what angle the hurricane hits. Meanwhile O'khasis would be less likely to experience a hurricane since it sits on the west coast, but it could still happen (like how California experiences the rare hurricane)

Anyways, Phoenix Drop as a village is located on a Northern coast*, making it really unlikely to experience hurricanes, especially if its located in the northern hemisphere.

*Northern Coast is based off if the Ru'aun map is using the cardinal directions and from top-to-bottom is North-to-South. It is very likely this could not be the case, considering Scaleswind is somewhat Northeast of Phoenix Drop according to the wiki. But for the sake of this post I'm going to assume it is.

Anyways, thats just some extra little bit of world-building that I thought of and wanted to share. There are probably a lot of other meteorological factors to contribute with hurricane-making and who-or-who wouldn't get hurricanes, but considering that Ru'aun is never mentioned (to my knowledge) to be in a certain hemisphere and minecraft doesn't care about no damn "geographically correct"-isms, then its just a lot of speculation.

On the other hand it's very important to remember that no way of life is eternal and history is just one thing after another. All societies are chaotic and unstable systems, so it's only really a difference in magnitude

DnD players will brag openly about making life as hard as possible for the DM and then wonder why they can't get a playgroup and never ever connect the dots
