Finished piece for Vienna Vtuber I realized once again that I get to draw dragons way too rarely, I really enjoyed working on this piece!

I think I might have forgotten to share this but um. Deities/priests au designs for their ‘mortal’ disguises and Reader in their temple member outfit (+ what I think I’m gonna make their lost deity traits, aka a halo, a set of small feathered wings on the sides of their head that r most justly for expressiveness, and wings that look like stained glass!)

can we talk about how 90% of the ice ruins in albw is literally just...free falling and hoping you dont miscalculate ur jump.

can we talk about how legend probably has a fear of heights due to it.

how he was probably so stressed out by focusing on the timing that he will feel physically sick if he's really high up because he knows he doesn't have the safety of truly solid ground

Moon Nexus Temple Runes Collection

I took some time to go over the many, many runes visible in the Moon Nexus temple, comparing the ones I found in this shot:

To the ones in this close-up extreme perspective shot to try to work out more detail:

The entire temple is made up of a set of 24 total runes, which are replicated reasonably accurately in the close-up, though some of them are missing strokes. You can see the breakdown here:

The ones marked in yellow with a * correspond to the six Sunforge blade runes, meaning nearly all the Sunfire elf runes also pull from this set and are not exclusive to a single elf culture.

It seems whoever designed this rune set did it pretty early in the production timeline, because we can see them clearly in Sunny Shah's matte painting concepts for the temple:

Even though the layout and architecture changed, the runes did not. Not sure if this means Mr. Shah designed them or if they were handed over from someone else, since "we're going to need about a bazillion background runes for this series, someone crank some out so we have a pool to draw from" would be a pretty normal thing to do in this situation.

Other appearances I found include the Moonstone path, composed entirely of runes 1 and 13 in various stages of rotation:

Some background detailing of the Sunforge (runes 8, 11, and 12 were the only three I felt confident on, the others make my eyes cross):

And, interestingly, the runes of the oft-reused horizontal runes page from Lost Secrets of Xadia (and every other book whose pages we see) are 4, 12, 13, 14 and 17, with opposite page appearance by rune 1:

One of my primary interests in even beginning all this madness was whether there was a shared rune set or visual language for the primal nexuses, and while the Sun and Moon nexus constructions do share some, I suspect that what we're seeing are (if they're anything) elf runes rather than something connected with the primal sources. We don't see any of these runes in the Storm Spire, and there isn't a single goddamn piece of writing in Umber Tor, so they seem to be exclusive to the nexuses where significant elven construction has been done.
