Boycotted by the Tooth Fairy . . .

Okay, so the first of today's questions (minor answer dump incoming) came from Voidsung over on our discord. She asked:

For The [First] Dyad, as they have been around for many centuries and have seen a lot: Where is your favourite place in Teryte, and why is it your favourite?

The Shadow:

The south terrace of the Green Palace, the huge one that looked out over Lake Denok, specifically in the rain. The sunlight playing over the water, the gentle bustle of the city bleeding through the pillared hallways. The Krinaale would carry huge tubs out onto the terrace and let the rain fill them, asking the Old Bloods to come join them, settling beside the tubs and warming them with their inner flames. When the rain really got bad the noise of it was this deep roar and everyone just sat together in peace. I'm still reminded of it whenever I see grey hair in the rain.

The Tower:

That is a really tough one to pin down. The terrace was always a favourite, that's for sure. Standing beneath Hofi's Crown is an incredible experience but I'm not sure I could call it my favourite. I'm partial to the Queen's Meadow in Castine, just such a beautiful and tranquil place in the midst of the hum of the city. There are points of Prayakaya where it feels like the meadows might just go on forever, those have an incredible sense of being out of time and this world. Ha, I'm told by the later visitors that Wilderzoy even has a certain beauty to it but it doesn't for me. There is a particular time during an eruption of Etara where you can go to the Ashlands and see fire falling from the sky; dragons and humans work to control it, but with the ash cloud above it becomes the only light. There is an aesthetic beauty to it, a soul soothing to the collaboration of people that once feared each other, and this immense satisfaction in the final days of an eruption when you see them all stop to rest and they know it is done, that they saved all the people and all the farms they could. I think that's incredible. I'm sorry, even as I say this I am thinking of the Kytre falls, or the College Beyond Clouds, or even the haunting beauty of the stones on Dragonstooth Isle that will bring me to tears . . . It is hard to pick a favourite place when they are all so uniquely enchanting.

Jared Dragonstooth

i want to redo a series i wrote a while back that was lost to the great online presence purge of when i realized i wasn't going to be making enough money on writing commissions to be worth maintaining that sort of online presence anymore, but doing character intros in the story itself is a pain, so i'm just going to do physical descriptions and summaries of their backstories and hope you can just pick up on enough of their vibes from that for the series to make sense first. i plan on giving this backstory a proper go and doing it well later, but for now here's the rough draft of the summary

Jared Dragonstooth is a warrior of draconic descent. He's about 7 feet tall, with silver scales, and a long tail that helps him keep balance with his double-jointed legs. You know, like a non-bipedal creature would have. He doesn't have wings, and is technically still within a normal human height range. He can technically breathe fire, but it's just a bunch of sparks. Still useful, just not in a fight. Really all his draconic descent gives him is scales and a really long lifespan (and the constantly-growing teeth that are needed to keep a creature going for that long, so he has to constantly gnaw on stuff). He grew up in a pretty big town that had grown around a place where two major trading roads intersected, starting as a resupply stop and quickly growing into a destination all on its own. He had always lived by a simple motto: if we always work to be better than we were the day before, the world will keep getting better. Whether or not it was true (people have gotten upset at me about how that motto oversimplifies things, and i don't want people to yell at me for my silly goofy cozy fantasy series being silly, goofy, and cozy, so i'm not going to commit to a stance on whether or not i believe that motto), he lived by it. He constantly tried to get stronger, because being able to see that you have definitely improved in a given area and how much you've improved is pretty great. He worked at a local supply store, mostly loading bulk orders onto the customers' wagons, and unloading shipments. He found it pretty boring, but it paid well enough, and had good hours. (i don't have the spoons to be clever about saying time passed, so you get an eventually) Eventually, some bandits showed up. This group was untrained and particularly poorly equipped, so they couldn't take on the mercs the wealthier merchants hired to protect them, and just robbed the poorer merchants. This was quickly making critical supplies like food and clothes nearly impossible for most people to get, but it wasn't affecting the wealthy very much, so the crown ordered the guards not to "waste resources" hunting them down. A group of townsfolk decided to break into the guards' armory, steal some gear, and do it themselves. Most of them were untrained, so there were heavy casualties. Among the casualties was one of Jared's best friends (they've got their own story going on, but i'm in the middle of reworking it, so for now i'm not going to get into detail. i'll tell their story later, and if and when i retell jared's, they'll get properly credited). Jared swore an oath to hunt down and kill the bandit who had killed his best friend. Standard lone wanderer trope shit ensues, but i don't intend to ever get particularly in detail on this for reasons that will probably become clear later. Jared had found out the town his mark was living in, and made his way to the town. He found his mark in a bar, drinking with his friends and telling terrible jokes. One of the bandits told an awful pun Jared's friend would make a point to tell almost any time they hung out, and Jared realized that getting his revenge wouldn't just cost the ex-bandit their life, it would cost the ex-bandit's loved ones someone they cared about. It would cost a lot of people he had no issue with their friend, and probably a few more their family member. He wasn't willing to inflict that much hurt on that many people just because he was angry. He sat down at the bar and introduced himself to the ex-bandit, and explained why he'd come, and the decision he'd made. The ex-bandit introduced themself as Sare, and explained that they'd come to a similar situation. They shared their story with Jared (probably the next one i'm sharing, that rework is going well, but maybe not. we'll see). They had decided to try to turn things around and help people wherever possible. Specifically, they wanted to help the people that the nobility and the crown were refusing to help or were oppressing. They'd already teamed up with a mage and a thief. Jared decided to join the group

Hi yes, so I love Thor: Ragnarok with all my heart but design wise the one thing that really bothers me is the Dragon's Tooth(/dragontooth?). I mean?? We are shown the Valkyries in combat and they are shown to primarily fight on horse (pegasus) back. BUT THE DRAGON'S TOOTH IS A SHORT SWORD????? WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO REACH WITH THAT, THE BLADE ITSWLF LOOKS ABOUT AS LONG AS 142'S FOREARM SO HOW THE HELL COULD THEY HAVE REACHED ANYTHING?? And while the Valkyries hardly get any screentime we see them using these shortswords in combat. Dragon's Tooth makes much more sense as a ceremonial blade than an actual mounted combat weapon is what I'm saying. C'mon an aesthetic as hel green sword, that's a perfect ceremonial blade. Like? It isn't even as long as a fencing foil, foils are about an arm's length, 35in, thank you Mr. Bosco for drilling that into my head during target practice, (relatively speaking, young kids in fencing often use foils that are longer than their arm's length just due to being smaller than another fencer in the average age range). Look, just, if the Dragon's Tooth was the standard weapon for Valkyries no wonder Hella fucking killed them all no one could fucking reach her.

Point is, Asgard can't plan for shit (proof: literally every Thor movie)

I finally found a strap for my #dragonstooth (on the left). There was a shop full of them this year at the Highland Games so I immediately snagged one. However, I'm not a huge fan of the Dragon's Tooth it came with (#slimpickins). I'll probably give it to someone who might like it. ❓🎁👤 . . . #backtonormal 😥 . . . #welcomeback 👋 . . . . #newbeginnings 🗻 . . . . . #missionaccomplished 🏁
