[hinterland-clans]

riftclan icons pt. 1! we've got the leadership team and senior warriors :D

also i've been listening to rut by the killers a lot again, and it's inspired me to potentially change screestar's warrior name from screefall to screeclimb? i'd love to hear some thoughts about this

Art commission done by Feli of Valka wearing her Queen of Hearts 💕 dress in the Snowspire in downtown Cedartown, with Korin wearing his Green Knight Robes. The two are very compatible and connected in many ways, of which are so perfect for each other.

Above here is of course my good friend Piotr Czaplarski aka Peter-the-Tomato commission that he made of the two of them on an adventure together.

AFK JOURNEY - LOREs @ LOG IN SCREEN

Here's some of lores from the log in screen that I managed to screenshot. It's soo tiny, the devs should have made a collection section.

Examples Lores that could be mentioned: Misarte, The Dusk Lord, Warsong Festival, The Lord of the Sea, The Immortal, Carmine Whisperer, Bantus Kingdom, Snowspire Festival, The First Divine War, Duchy of Whiteridge, etc

War Timelines:

(She tilts her head slightly as he recounts his experiences with Cyran — and tilts it a bit more as his focus wavers again. There’s a mote of concern that slips into her tone, soft but steady)

Oh! I’m so sorry — I didn’t mean to be rude. I’ve been told I can get ahead of myself sometimes.

And your memory’s been like this for a long time, then… That must be really hard. I can’t imagine what it’s like, not knowing what you’ve lost until it’s already gone.

(Then, a small smile returns — not forced, but intentionally bright) But that just means we’ll have to make sure this visit is all the more memorable, doesn’t it? If only it were the Snowspire Festival — it’s far too much fun to forget!

…but maybe we can improvise a little. (She rises partway from her seat, peering toward the corner)

There’s an old lantern in the corner… I suppose we could charm it to float. Or maybe I still have that enchanted snow globe from last year—

(Then her eyes catch on something folded neatly on the edge of her embroidery basket) Oh!

(She stands and crosses the room, lifting a small patch of fabric embroidered with a soft blue blossom — delicate, seven-petaled, edged in silver thread)

This is a sapphirine, like the one you’re wearing. We used to give them out when I was really little. I'm sure why we stopped but...well, it’s not magical or anything, but it will last longer than the one on your broach. So you have the painting for your Whiteridge, and then the patch for this Whiteridge! Even if you forget the details, you'll have this!

Snowspire | Snowswept Solitude (2022)

[scoticus]

recent artists are very monochrome

[hinterland-clans]

RiftClan’s senior warriors! RiftClan handles the idea of senior warriors a bit differently from the other Clans, as they do with many other things. In RiftClan, the senior warriors are the eldest warriors from each specialty division. Snowspiral is the head Scout, Smokestorm is the head Hunter, and Darkwillow is the head Fighter. These three have the task of helping the deputy set up patrols, training and evaluating new apprentices who haven’t yet been assigned a specialty and a mentor, and aiding the leader in making decisions involving their respective divisions. And speaking of divisions, I’ll probably post RiftClan warrior busts by division.

Chronique / Fogweaver - Labyrinthine (2022)

« La liberté est une lourde charge, un grand et étrange fardeau à entreprendre pour l'esprit. Ce n'est pas facile. Ce n'est pas un don offert, mais un choix qui est fait, et le choix peut être difficile. La route monte vers le lumière ; mais le voyageur chargé peut ne jamais en atteindre le bout. »

C’est ainsi que le créateur de Fogweaver introduit son album, « Labyrinthine », d’après une citation d’Ursula Le Guin.

Fogweaver est un projet de fantasy synth né de l’esprit fertile d’Evergreen, connu pour ses nombreux projets de dungeon synth (Hideous Gomphidius, Keys to Oneiria, Draconic Regicide, Wandlimb), de winter synth (Snowspire), de cosmic synth (Delmak-O), de black metal antifa (Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze) et pour être le créateur du label Fableglade. L’univers de Fogweaver est celui, imaginé par Ursula Le Guin, du cycle de Terremer, cycle composé de romans et de nouvelles de fantasy. Notons qu’il existe un autre excellent projet qui raconte ce même monde, empli de sorciers, et avec qui Fogweaver a réalisé un split en 2020. Il s’agit d’Erreth-Akbe, qui lui aussi a sorti un flamboyant album en 2022, j’ai nommé « A Lantern Swathed ».

D’après la description d’Evergreen sur Bandcamp, l’album « Labyrinthine » est entièrement basé sur le second tome du cycle de Terremer, Les Tombeaux d’Atuan. On y suit l’histoire de Tenar, une jeune fille née dans l’empire Kargish, arrachée à sa famille alors qu’elle était enfant, pour devenir la grande prêtresse des Innommables, car elle est la réincarnation d'Arha, dite la Dévorée. Ce statut en fait aussi la gardienne des tombeaux des Innommables sur l'île d'Atuan. Ainsi veille-t-elle à ce qu'aucun pillard ne s'infiltre dans le labyrinthe, car il recèle de nombreux trésors. Son monde est finalement bouleversé par l’arrivée de de Ged, un sorcier dissimulant son identité sous le nom d’Épervier. La jeune fille s’attachera à cet intrus et finira par l’aider, remettant en question son existence et sa place parmi les Innommables.

À propos de l’histoire de Tenar, Evergreen ajoute :

« L'idée d'être poussé dans un monde où on vous dit exactement qui vous êtes et ce qu'est le monde - qu'on vous dise de ne pas le remettre en question, mais d'accepter ce monde - c'est quelque chose auquel beaucoup d'entre nous peuvent se connecter, j'imagine. Et se libérer de cela est une partie terrifiante, mais cathartique et, souvent nécessaire, de la croissance en tant qu'être humain. »

° ° °

Comme il est difficile de mettre des mots sur la musique de Fogweaver, tant elle est minimaliste, épurée et tant sa profondeur, pourtant, atteint des sommets ! Sa patte est bien reconnaissable et offre toujours une forme de transcendance. L’intensité n’y a d’égal que la légèreté. L’ombre y est sans cesse chassée par la lumière, dans une danse subtile. « Labyrinthine » dépeint le voyage introspectif qui conduit à la maturité, abordant des thèmes tels que la liberté, la responsabilité, l’autonomie et la libération. Contrairement à beaucoup d’œuvres de dungeon synth, qui sont davantage ancrées dans la nostalgie de l’enfance, comme dans le comfy synth (Grandma’s cottage, Tiny Mouse, ...), ou dans un esprit de révolte « adolescent », évoquant les racines black metal du genre, cet album est celui de l’âge adulte. C’est un passage vers l’âge de raison, âge qui ne prend jamais fin (à partir du moment où l’on a mis le pied dedans), si ce n’est dans la mort. [Suite de l'article en cours de rédaction.]

It was not a position he ever expected to find himself in. It was not a position he ever wanted to find himself in. But Flaxin was unconscious, Jhulen was leagues and leagues away, and Rakarth was... Aspects only knew where he was. So someone had to help take charge when Xin'thalore arrived, directing people, organizing their grim cargo, and making sure the chaos stayed the controlled sort, and he wasn't going to let Zhellik try to do it all himself. So all he could do was put on a brave face, act like he knew what he was doing, and be grateful that the crews seemed to offer him at least some degree of deference simply because he was a familiar face.

It was slow and unpleasant work, sorting through the dead. They gathered up their own, lining them up along the beach with all the rest, and left the Alliance fallen where they lay, food for the crabs and seagulls. The wounded were another matter entirely, and after some discussion and fretting, it was realized they would have to go on The Queen Bitch as well, as that was the only ship properly equipped to handle them. Not exactly the best arrangement, but it was the best they could do.

The rest of the work was left up to more qualified others (implying that he was qualified at all, Seilir thought with some amusement). The Reaver had arrived at last, bringing with her carpenters and shipwrights to get The Kingly Dispute seaworthy again, and now that her cargo of workmen had been delivered, she would be towing the point of this entire bloody venture, the captured ship, back to port at Dead Sun Harbor. Privately Seilir wondered how that was going to go over. The port's proprietors were so unfriendly... He couldn't imagine they'd be pleased with Intoxication trying to effectively set up shop in their territory.

Nor, he remembered, was Intoxication going to be pleased with the way the Dead Sun people had immediately turned tail and retreated the moment things had started to get rough. The blue grimaced and cringed internally just imagining how that was going to go once they were all back at the harbor. He was going to make sure he and Zhell were far out of the firing line for that little confrontation.

...Speaking of Zhellik, Seilir paused in his directions for some of the wounded to make themselves as comfortable as they could on Flaxin's ship, looking around for the young man. He wasn't hard to spot, and as soon as he could, the blue made a beeline for him, guessing that the blacksmith needed all the help he could get right now.

They all did.

What would you do if tomorrow the world ends?

If…the world ends? Nonnie…I mean, if I knew it was ending—

No. Let’s not think about it!

We’re here now, and there are pastries to eat and tea to drink. And we still have this year’s Snowspire Festival to look forward to!

[sun-descending]

"What the fuck?! You tell that puffed-up useless piece of shit he can shove his business up his ass! And Shiraryu, I should fucking fire you! What the fuck?! We don't have time or the money for fuck ups! We needed this! For our survival! What the fuck were you thinking, talking so openly like that in fucking public? Do you people not fucking know how we run things around here? After all this time?!"

The tumbler exploded against the far wall in a burst of shards and glass dust almost before he realized he'd snatched it off the desk.

All that work -- months of contacts and connections and carefully forged lines of communication -- gone. Fucking gone in two minutes with only a half dozen careless words. And on top of that, five more of their number had now been outed as members of the company within spitting distance of Silvermoon. He should have known better than to let them go that close to the city, at least not without a handler. But he had trusted them, and now Vipers' Cove was ruined. They were ruined.

The only bright side in all of it -- and he had to struggle hard to find something even resembling one -- was Zhellik's conduct throughout the whole thing. The boy hadn't said a word and had even tried to turn the situation into something salvageable. He was learning. Too bad it had to be in the midst of a crisis that might very well cripple them.

He slumped in a chair and buried his head in his hands.

Now what do we do...
