Could you elaborate? When you say “searching for the mysteries of God, or to have a relationship with Him”, are you meaning searching for it’s own sake, vs doing it to have a relationship with Him?

(Yes, that’s what I meant.)

Can you have a relationship with someone if you don’t know them? (You don’t need to know all of God’s mys…

Sorry! I’ve been meaning to do an Rp for Serin! I can’t right now but hopefully later!

@freedomwriter76 @thearcaneaxiom

Did you write Viola? I think I missed that so I’ll have to go back and read that before I do Uvah

@thearcaneaxiom @soleilnaia @light-warrior-pen

Thank you all for your thoughts! They were quite helpful!

Hehe, yeah you guys are right, it’s probably a lot harder to follow without context. My only excuse for not giving you guys an earlier scene, is that I’m not completely satisfied with the beginning.

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank you! I thought you would be best to judge worldbuilding 😉

Yeah, I have mentioned this story before. Lol, I bet…[Read more]

Holy toothy cow, that was long. Sorry.

Tagsies?

@thearcaneaxiom

Oooooh, okay! 😁 That makes sense now. Thanks so much!

@thearcaneaxiom

You’re fine! Any help is appreciated, and you’ve never come off like that.

Also, if you ever do post a chapter of your WIP, I would love to read it and offer any advice I can!

@thearcaneaxiom @keilah-h

Full honesty, I started this WIP maybe a couple months ago, so it’s not very far along yet worldbuilding-wise🤣. These are all things I’m going to have to work out. Thanks for mentioning them, because it makes things so much easier when I can have some kind of list of things to tweak or change.

@thearcaneaxiom

They hold them to the side. My original thought was that it would be awkward- and would look strange- for them to hold it straight out. Not to get into too much detail but an enemy could just shove the handle down their throat… Yeah, so to the side. Besides, in most battles (there are few for the Felisaro anyway, as they don’t…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom @keilah-h

Wow! Thanks for the great advice! (And the more critiquing the better. it really does help)

To answer your question, yes, Quelin is definitely going to be a big part of the story. As for the whole thing about the thumbs, the Felisaro had to be extremely inventive to get past that. They basically started out with…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom Fair point.  Although this might have not been a current thing–perhaps it happened in the past, and the arcanin quickly settled it….and that helped the felisaro too, even if it wasn’t intended.

@kyronthearcanin If you don’t want to listen to our suggestions over the course of this discussion, you don’t have to! We’re just…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom Oh, I meant it as more of prejudice than actual truth. I mean, we’ve seen they don’t like halflings, and we’ve seen the serpenree treat the lupinari with contempt.

@thearcaneaxiom Your point about Dune not having thumbs is interesting, considering the fact that Quelin and Rina apparently have them? @kyronthearcanin Is that a major point in the story? Like maybe the other species used to (or currently) look down on the felisaro because they’re “lesser” or “not as advanced” because they don’t have thumbs.

@otherworldlyhistorian

@thearcaneaxiom

Hey guys interesting question here what do you think of this statement?

If democracy represents the collective conscious of those who can vote then would it not be the fault of the Christians that the collective conscious is been trending away from Christianity for the past 50 years? And thusly it would…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Thank youuu! Ohh, I think I was confused when you asked if I prefer ‘real world roots’ or not. I didn’t know you were asking about roots in a specific culture. Oops! 😅 My goal is not to make all of the names geared towards one culture, but in general, just be intentional with the meaning of everyone’s name. Like, as long as the…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

(Thanks again for your points, I’d love to continue this debate, but let’s make sure not to let it turn into an argument. This has turned from theology and philosophy to more of just politics though, something I don’t feel as edified by in discussion.) Are there other questions that you would like to explore instead?
