    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Not really. Best I've got is that Duongelese(I know how rubbish that temporary name is but I've got nothing better at the moment) is literally impossible to speak unless you have some way of having multiple bodies, such as being a Duongel.

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Duongel buildings tend to have multiple stories(the average is 4-5, but the tallest is probably the 20 stories that the universities have at their tallest points), and often have take-off/landing pads at some of the higher levels. The shape of the roof of a Duongel building tells a lot about...

    Types/Rules of Magic

    I agree with the others, and also think it's important to bring up another thing: fae often have negative connotations, even if creatures that fall under the category of fae have more positive ones. Talking about a fairy will, until proven otherwise, bring to my mind mild and useful magic and...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Even though she's a deity, Inespell fits the role of boogie man quite well, as the "threat" of her "corrupting" a child who lives in an untidy room is a rather effective way for parents to convince their children to tidy their rooms, even though the streets are most likely more chaotic than an...

    Looking For "Titles, Terminology"...?

    From the looks of it, the word that Patrician stems from translates to "chosen fathers", but that was its original meaning back in the time of the romans. I think at the moment the title can basically be used in place of president or prime minister, though it seems more like a halfway point...

    Looking For "Titles, Terminology"...?

    Lord, maybe? I don't know enough to give a proper answer, but Lord seems like one of those titles that doesn't have any divine influence. I might look into Patrician, see what that actually means, but for now I think Lord should be good. Edit: Upon looking at what Patrician means, it seems...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    I'm guessing you're meaning sports unique to my world, so that rules out the extreme archery that the Duongels do, as that's still a form of archery. For manipulation-type mages, especially light mages, there's a little competition/test of ability to try and accurately replicate a statue at a...

    Sustaining a Carnivorous Civilization

    While humans can't survive indefinitely on a purely carnivorous diet, there's many other species that you could think of for this civilization to have evolved from which only eat meat. I feel like the average intelligence of this civilization would probably be lower than that of omnivorous...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Looking at the Duongel's city, bath houses and hot springs would be almost exclusively for non-Duongels, as a Duongel's feathers would probably necessitate a very particular washing method, which a bath just can't do. I probably will end up modelling a Duongel's wings off some kind of...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    There's a Universal spell which is able to enhance the sturdiness of something, for example a staff or a fist, enough that you can hit someone in the face with it without breaking it(especially useful for mages that are well trained in hand-to-hand combat), though to get better enhancements...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Not including the deities, you'd find the names of all the Apostles up to about 500BH(before Hosper Paxet), though I'm sure if you snooped around in the palace of Saweip, the deity of wisdom, you could probably find the names of every Apostle ever. Other than the Apostles, notable people would...

    Non-fatal wounds

    From what I've seen, it seems that it would be better to leave the spear in the wound until you can get your ogre to a healer, unless the ogre has some kind of healing factor. No clue about where to stab your ogre though.

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    The dirt is dirt coloured, except for up by the northern end of the mountain range, where the dirt gets ashy and eventually gives way to a black-sand desert. The closer you are to the mountains, the quicker the dirt gives way to stone. The place where the dirt is thickest is under the elves'...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    Depends on what you're good at. Since my interactions with you have lead to an impression that you're good with food, I would say you should look into trying to be a chef at one of the restuarants in the Duongel's city, or maybe a food critic. There's an adventurers guild near the mage arena...

    The "Daily" Worldbuilding Prompt

    In the human kingdoms, fiction writers have about as much career viability as they do in our world, as they don't have much direct exposure to the fantastic creatures found on the other side of the mountains. Non-fiction writers can become quite wealthy when talking about the creatures of the...
