Funerals of the basin would also be pretty interesting, albeit somewhat irrelevant. Hallifax has their creepy stuffed magistrate, and the potential to reprocess dead servants as either experimental subjects or nutrient bars. Ser…

Some people in Serenwilde might lean vegetarian if they are attempting to become spiritually closer to one of the herbivorous spirits. Or generally find plants tastier. Or want to focus on the spiritual relationship of the plant…
Speaking of terrible hotel internet, I was just informed that I am leaving Sunday, and will be gone most of next week. This means that I will have 3-4 days at home, before the two-week trip that has been scheduled for months.
I finally, finally gather my courage and resolve and run for a guild leadership position, win it, and then real life BLOWS UP. *sobs* I'm so, so, so, so sorry I've been pretty much nonexistent since winning.
I just want to drop a quick rave to all the new and old faces in Serenwilde that have made being back far more fun and far less terrifying than I was expecting.
One of the interesting things about the guild/order/city interactions is the ways different people identify themselves within that hierarchy. Some Moondancers, for example, consider themselves worshipers of Mother Moon, who has shown favour on the S…
I was fiddling around with the name generator while trying to decide whether to relearn the game as an ancient char, or relearn it as a new char and Nimrodel popped up (it might have been off by a letter). I was amused, and decided to run with it, h…

Reading your post, the last bit of this paragraph surprised me in
particular, so I thought I'd take a moment to discuss it, maybe. I know
quite a few couples with widely disparate ages, and aside from some mild

I'll second Shaddus. Ask questions. If people are doing something or talking about something in your city/commune or in your guild, don't be afraid to speak up and ask what's going on. Interaction is a wonderful thing.
"There he lay, a vast red-golden dragon, fast asleep; thrumming came from
his jaws and nostrils, and wisps of smoke, but his fires were low in
slumber. Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and
about him on all…
Nimhuire's had less interaction with Everiine than she or I would like, but she has a great deal of respect for him, and enjoys the stories she's been able to hear from him. She'd love the chance to sit him down and pick his brain on the Winter Cour…
Nimhuire's primary experience with Morkarion is getting beheaded abruptly while gathering Fae, and therefore adding him to the list of people to keep an eye out for while in Faethorn. She therefore doesn't have a terribly high opinion of him, althou…
I don't think those things would necessarily exist. Their potential would, but as our characters know them and interact with them, they wouldn't. We haven't met or heard of an Elder God who created plants specifically, or who drew rivers, that I'm a…
I guess it depends on how you define "created." The elders are making things that never existed, even if they are using themselves and Dynara's materials to do it. If you think this thing that no mortal has ever done is impressive and worthy of w…
I haven't been logging in much, but it's for other reasons than getting stomped on. It's a super busy time of year for a lot of people between family/exams/work/december releases/whatever else you might have going on right around now.
You lecture a furrikin farmer on the dangers of civilisation, against which the Serenwilde protects. A furrikin farmer slaps his knee and declares that, by the gods, the Village of Estelbar should follow the Free Collective of Seren…
(Yes, I realise that this is quite minor, and not really a lot of work compared to actually writing the book. But Serenwilde is, for the first time I can remember, not at the bottom of the cu…
There are those of us in the guild who appreciate the rituals that people do, and who try to attend them when they happen. I've run into a lot of not enough people being around when I'm trying to do stuff, and when there are enough people, usually s…
I don't really want to start a new thread, so I'm going to resurrect this one to share the random rambly pseudo ritual prayer I ended up doing today. I've been trying to write something formal, but kept running into blocks, and so when I realised it…
