Trahia the Minstrel

@keilah-h,

Neat premise! I think it entirely depends on a ton of factors you haven’t told us. First, how old is Torrent? Nobody’s going to give a 12-16-year-old kid a bunch of backup for a rescue mission. (No offense to anyone in that age range; I’m 16 myself. I’m just sayin’ that you can’t put that in a book.) 17-18 is pushing it. On the other…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Ugh, I’ll have to repost it. And I’ll get a good Singeprime picture so you can see what they look like.

In the meantime, some facts about MandaloreWings, since you said you were curious: (I don’t have a good picture yet, sorry)

• They’re wyverns, meaning their wings are attached to their arms instead of coming out of their…

Regrettably I don’t have a younger sister to tell stories to, however, that sounds like a wonderful way to hone in your story telling/book writing skills.

I can basically quote The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as well. I have seen it way too many times!

Ooh. An eagle would be cool! Come to think of it, I should add a…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I have pictures of Singeprimes and MandaloreWings, but I’ll have to find them and upload them.
In the meantime, here’s a diagram of a typical dragonman skeleton:

@elishavet-pidyon

Agh, yes, I am a big GE fan! I do love the characters you mentioned, but my all-time favorite character is Helmer. HE IS THE BEST!!!! (I’m a big fan of crusty-and-tough-on-the-outside-but-soft-and-sweet-on-the-inside type characters). My favorite lines are pretty much anything Helmer says, but e…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel I know you already saw this one, but he’s the only Stewjon Four-Winged drawing I have, so…..

Facts about Stewjon Four-Wingeds:

• They’re rare. Much more so than other dragonmen kinds.
• They’re awesome. Pure awesome. I mean, four wings, gills and webbed talons, fire, catlike ears (which work just like cats’ or…

@trahia-the-minstrel Yeah, that’s just like Ethan.

@trahia-the-minstrel

I’ll pray you’re not in the waiting stage for too long! I’ve heard that can be stressful 🙂

@elfwing

Those characters always make me smile. Ah, yes. Rebel Faeada XD

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yes, and it sounds so good. Will you have a glossary?

@trahia-the-minstrel You’re welcome. I love writing Star Wars fanfics, especially dragon ones! And a word on Wings of Fire–the later books aren’t as good as the first five. Those are the best.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, I love building cultures and hearing what other people have made!

Let’s see… I don’t know the ú sound, it might be Hebrew (I’m not very far in).

Keivan Rus is basically the name of a federation of Slavs in the 9th to the mid 13th century. The part I mixed in is mostly from the older northern groups. They were a…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Oh, oh, your names are lovely. Hebrew? My sister is learning Hebrew!

@elfwing

Your lines are great! I like Faeda, being short myself. And is Tyroll her older, or younger brother?

@trahia-the-minstrel I do the same! You’re one of the ones on my Dragon Lore topic, so you’ll see when I post multitudinous facts about half-man, half-dragon cultures.

@trahia-the-minstrel In answer to your question “who doesn’t love dragon people”…..My brother. He calls them “weirdos.” I don’t know why.

@elfwing @trahia-the-minstrel @elanor Thanks, all of you!

Cool facts about CloneWings:

• The spikes of a CloneWing aren’t detachable, unlike those of a similar dragon, the Rebelwhip. (If I can find a good picture of one of those I will!)
• The technical name for this type is the Mandalore Ice Dragon. But the name “CloneWing” caught on when the…

Ok, so now I can’t contain myself. @trahia-the-minstrel, did you say your desert country is Hebrew influenced? (Note gleeful chewing of lip) I’m learning Hebrew. Also, Eirtan is a mix of Celtic, Norse, Kieven Rus and mid-east/isreali culture, so I’m a tad unduly excited. (By the by, that particular letter you mentioned is my personal…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks for the pronunciation lesson 😀

Sadly, I have to say I don’t know much IPA… which makes it kinda hard to read English-to-Korean dictionaries. Yea… I should really learn.

Are you planning on publishing your book in the future?

@Kosha

Korean was literally designed so it could be written and spoken easily and…[Read more]

@anatra23

In Russian the words are ‘supposed’ to be spelled the way they sound, all except those thousands of exceptions… *sigh*. If you mean words from other languages, than yes.

BQ= Bible Quizzing. The lady I met is a quizzer Mom (her daughter is in Junior’s).

That makes more sense! I was thinking ‘Wow, she was doing…[Read more]

Ok, that didn’t work.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Your books sound good! How much do you have written, if I may ask?
