a decade or so of living in Sharlayan means that Lucent's picked up a lot of language related to its patron god, some more colorful than others

compare and contrast:

Lucent: "Well, the river of knowledge only flows forward and all that... I may not be able to change the past, but it's still my responsibility as a Sharlayan and a sage to help those who [redacted NPC] harmed in the present."

Lucent: "By Thaliak's naked thighs--"
someone: "Lucent, must you use such irreverent--"
Lucent: "BY THE SCHOLAR'S TITS!!!"

(he would get along great with Margrat I think)

playing In Stars and Time just made me realize how much worldbuilding potential there is in the way people Say Things... I know it's not canon at all but I really wanna invent a bunch of Sharlayan-Specific Swears and Sayings

for example:

• "drowning hells" (as opposed to "flaming hells")
• "scalding" (in place of "bleeding," "flaming")
• "by wisdom's waters" (self-explanatory)
• and my favorite VERY specific one: "pissing in the River of Knowledge" (said about someone whose ideas you Disrespect)

Yes, that's our 'sona and our 'idealized' self right there, the idea being it's a rough representation of how we conceive of our creative process, as a literal furnace-fire filling us up, flickering away with ideas...
Art, mind, by @Daikanu, here!

Anyway, hello, yes, I think I'll use this as my pinned intro tweet: Hi, I'm Sanagi, I mostly just ponder my own worldbuilding and play, and occasionally post whatever we've commissioned. We still...mostly exist on twitter (really, more on Discord), but have this as a fallback in case that site finally falls through. I tend to really just keep to myself unless I'm in a particular mood, so don't expect us to post all that much outside of said commissioned art we've gotten.
