STS time! tell me about a sedentary lifeform in your world! (plants, fungi, etc)

One of the most prominent plants in Anemoi culturally is the Popflower. It is used not only in bouquets, but also as dyes and ink that reacts to magic use. It is also used in medicine for those who suffer from specific and rare ailments that have to do with their magic turning on their body similar to an autoimmune disorder. The roots are used as a pungent food and the petals are also used for seasoning.

These pods can only grow in areas of high concentrations of magic. The only place they've been found growing is the mountains of Anemoi where a God was felled and fertilized the silty soil with his blood. It is hard to notice unless you lay within them, but popflowers radiate a bit of heat. This is enough to warm the mountains throughout the winter when north Anemoi hovers around 5c-0c

The popflower does not have an elaborate root system. It has a main tap root that is poor at sucking up water, but specialized towards sapping magic from the earth and just keeping it in place durring storms. Due to heavy and consistent Anemoian rains, they end up sapping most of their water needs through their petals and the rest through smaller roots by the surface.

Popflowers are the backbone to the survival of two other species, including the pop drake and the inland wyvern.

Popdrakes are small and hyper specialized to only eat popflowers. they came about at the same time as popflowers emerging from the mountains. They live among them, using their spines to blend in among the flowers. They give birth to live young who are independent from their mothers from their first moments.

They are often caught en-masse by humans to sell during festivals, skewered and either candied or roasted. they are extremely spicy due to a concentration of the same compounds that give popflowers their distinct flavour and moderate spice.

This spice does not deter the Inland wyvern however. These wyverns are actually a type of fish and are related to every other wyvern. Wyvern have the same skin/scale and lung systems as I Peshka, where as they can breathe air and water through a gill system in their throat. They mainly eat these popdrakes. They will stand still for hours, waiting for a popdrake to move. When one does, they will bend down to gobble it up in one quick movement. Their crests and throats glow due to the magic of the flowers being passed down the food chain reacting with what was once regular luminescence.

i was busy all day BUT!! NEW WAVE!!!!

they are krisis! and according to the official jp account, which quote retweeted the teaser, this is the FIRST hybrid group to be shared between 2 branches.

krisis is connected to oriens and dytica! the two recent jp waves who are also hero themed.

also keep in mind that we will probably see the rest of the en side of the hero group in 3-4 weeks. this is because oriens and dytica debuted within 3 weeks of each other, only to reveal that they’re actually two halves of the same group. so we will see the other half of the group’s en side soon :)

Card of the Day - The Empress - Wednesday, May 29, 2024

You are graced with a beautiful Empress today, bringing beauty and abundance to your surroundings. This is a very Venusian energy, and with Venus currently in Gemini, what is beautiful and abundant could be perceived in the most mundane and routine of things. Look for, and appreciate, those little things, for they will truly be what matters.  The Empress card has a variety of meanings, among them…
