I really like the building designs. They reminded me of a type of movable shelter in Shannon Hale's 'Book of a Thousand days', used by migratory animal herders. The similarities reminded me of something else- the magic. In 'Book of a Thousand Days' there's not a whole lot of magic, but it does exist. The main character Dashti was taught special songs by her mother (sort of like Qyaalyon bird songs) that have a variety of subtle effects, ranging from soothing aches and pains to helping a man survive a fatal injury and triggering a shapeshifter's change to start. That made me think- What if bird songs had similar effects, or did sometime in the past and now simply provide a psychological comfort? Maybe there are traditional songs said to soothe a troubled soul, or to coax a dying one to stay a little longer. I don't know if their songs being actually magical would fit in your magic system, but it was just an idea that popped into my head.
Oh I loved that book! The idea of dashti breaking her word to the princess (can’t remember her name) sort of reminds me of the quallyon trait of vow keeping, dashti was terrified to break her vow to the princess because she thought she wouldn’t go to their idea of “heaven”
@@winstermagic7886 That's a good point! She also followed the princess (I think her name was Saren) into the tower because of her oath, even though no one else would have forced her too.
@@clairebowers3387 exactly!
“very few children are born in autumn” very elegant euphemism
just watching through the series and had an idea about writing/keeping track of bloodlines to prevent inbreeding, they could use Kipu. Kipu are a sort of writing used by the incans which involved making notted cords to communicate meaning. if the Qyaalyon are adept at making tasells and knots a knot based writing/communication system would make sense. Kipu would also be very light weight so someone like a preist could make Kipu records as a flock migrates and then leave them in a winter town for use as a referance to prevent inbreeding. Kipu could also be incorperated into clothing either for priests and festivals or as sort of like good luck charms or prayers that could be physicaly tied to a given hunter or warrior.
That seems like a lot of effort just to prevent something that's not actually a problem
@@Bwizz245 how is Geelong family records and information not a problem
That's a super cool idea!
Just a side note, maybe you could write the artists names on their art instead of at the end? If I'm interested in checking out someone's art I would have to got through all the names at the end.
But great video as always, I love discovering more of your world!
In the description it gives artist names and what they made.
Thinking of making a real basic website with just the art and credits on each. If people tag their own art I won’t mess with it, but if they don’t it takes too long to do them myself and I feel like extra wording distracts from the video.
@@mariahpattieworldbuilding4062 a tumblr page would work well and u could add links to the artists in each post if available
I wonder what it would be like for introverts. People who aren't exactly outcasts and still belong to flocks but aren't as happy spending an entire winter cooped up with other people.
As an introvert who’s always wondering how fantasy societies can be accommodating (or not) for introverts, thank you for bringing this up!
My guess us you set up your little traveling tent outside and go in there when you need to get away from everyone
Edit: Or set it up in some small corner indoors for some privacy
My first thought was that I would go hide in the cellar from all the people
@@joybreegaming8781 Ooh, good idea!
@@joybreegaming8781 they are probably tasked with keeping count of supples to keep them occupied
Ohh I love the detail and quirks of each of the tribes. The fan art (and your own) really lends itself to characterizing the places and tells the stories so well.
The winter town bitohs are so much bigger than I'd imagined, and the travelling ones so much smaller!
The mobile Bitohs have flat roofs. That would probably be fine in dry weather, but during rainy weather wouldn't the water would gather in the center? Maybe there's another pole in the center to make the roof peak a little to make the water slide off, or maybe they add one if they see a storm coming.
Probably add one. There’s probably a rainy season and a dry season. A pole would be easy to stick up there, but if you didn’t need it you’d probably appreciate the floor space more
This was one of your absolute BEST videos!! You have made such an incredible way to explain your thoughts. I totally agree with the bitoh. However, when I had quail, they didn't really want to go back into their cage. Like, they would run all over their mini aviary and refuse to be catched. So maybe children and/or young adults would dare upon their parents to let them sleep outside? I feel this would only apply to spring/summer/fall bitohs, not the bitohs with their perches inside.
oh yes, I'm sure there would be plenty of sleeping outside. Especially the teens and young adults when the weather is hot and they want some space and a breeze. Not during the winter though. My quail practically hibernate during the winter. They are active at dawn and dusk and come out to eat and drink, but they spend most of the day napping in their shelter.
This was super interesting! I feel like you took a topic that would be easy to just over look, and then made it something intriguing that easily fits in with the rest of your world building.
Super cool! Very interesting and inspiring! It makes me realize how I need to go back and actually create sub-cultures for one of my fantasy races who've been a bit neglected in comparison to my other creations.
This was so fun, architecture is something I definitely overlook in my worldbuilding, but this video made me want to change that, I loved the winter towns, I wonder what it would feel like to have such a large community to return to in winter, the idea of it feels so cozy, I love the idea of multi generational homes, even if the lack of privacy is a little scary to me.
Last summer I was house hunting with my parents and there was this 1 house we saw but had to pass over it. What would've been my room was a large private loft upstairs with a porch that lets u walk straight to the treehouse outside. If we bought that house, I would've painted it like a forest and set up multiple dark fey wings like Maleficent on the walls. Here's an idea to think on Mariah. Hybrids of Qyaalons and Nautikans. Able to swim, run, and fly. Having the benefits of everything the sky, land, and sea has to offer.
I'm not sure they COULD hybridize since their internal reproductive anatomy and embyonic development are so different, not to mention their genetics. Keep in mind, the Nautikans have to lay squishy eggs in water, while the Qyaalyons have more mammalian internal embryo development and live births. If the Nautikan carries the pregnancy, the half Qyaalyon embryo might not be able to develop properly outside of the body as the egg they'd be encased in wouldn't be any different than that of a regular Nautikan egg. It'd be much colder for one (due to not being inside of a warm body,) and the integrity of the outer membrane could either not last long enough for the baby to fully devolop, forcing it to hatch while it's premature, or cause the baby to have difficulty emerging if the the baby finishes devoloping if it develops faster than a Nautikan would. Not to mention that it probably wouldn't have fully formed gills due to one parent not having any, and could easily drown after hatching if it wasn't a fast enough swimmer to reach air. Meanwhile if the Qyaalyon carries the pregnancy, the inside of their body might be too warm for the half Nautikan embryo, and depending on differences in development speed the baby could either be born prematurely, or be born too late, which would make the birth much more difficult and increase the odds of both parties dying. Additionally these differences could result in the embryo receaving the wrong amount of nutrients at the wrong time, which could also mess stuff up. Not to mention the really high likelihood that the embryo would be mistaken as a foreign body and destroyed by the immune system or increased risk of blood type incompatabilites, which happen often enough when both parents are the same species (note: this could occur in the opposite scenario as well, but is a little less likely since most development would occur outside of the body.) Plus the baby would probably have to be kept in water, since baby Nautikans have to keep their tails wet (though to be fair a hybrid might have legs - though they probably wouldn't be fully formed, and probably closer to what Nautikans get during their metamorphisis.) The child also probably wouldn't have fully formed lungs either, as baby Nautikans don't hatch with the ability to breath air, so it's entirely possible that the hybrid wouldn't be able to breath air or water. If there was an oxygen chamber like what's used on premature human infants without fully formed lungs the baby might be able to survive, but the odds would be much slimmer in a fantasy setting...
Very cool idea but since the nautikans and quaalons are different species it probably wouldn’t be possible genetically speaking, it would be like a cross between a cat and a dog, virtually impossible
Just a thought that I had when you said "children reuniting with thier grand-parents", whatdo they do when elders die and it's not winter? Do they send a messenger to ask the flock to go home for the funeral? Do they just make the funeral between elders and sent a messenger to inform the flock of the death?
I guess they don't just wait until winter to inform the flock XD
Because, even if winter is probably the deadliest season, I'll guess that most elders will die during the three other seasons combined ^^
And a subsidary question, what happen when a migratory quaalyon die? I guess that infant mortality and accidents are frequent, do they also travel to the wintertownto bury their dead or do they do that in the plains and only keep the skull? How does the elders accept the death of their loved ones far from them? ^^'
The jump in art is INSANE this is SO GOOD I HOPE YOURE GETTING THE RECOGNITION THIS DESERVED OMG
There might need to be some additional structural support under the stove, or you could move it to the cellar, which shouldn't be a problem for the temperature up top, since heat rises. That way, the chimney would also double as structural support for the wooden floor.
I was struggling with the structure. It probably needs more support at the roof beams too.
oh I remember why I decided against the stove going in the basement. because then it wouldn't function as well as a root cellar. the food wouldn't last as well in higher temperatures.
Maybe have a stove built to the side? Like a fire with a chimney? I just don’t know if a central fire works
You could still add a central support beam.
that might work. the central fire seemed better for evenly dispersing the heat
I absolutely love the art in this video! I also enjoyed the different stereotypes, those things are fun to play with.
The long term housing causes some concerns, specifically when talking about the elders. You mentioned that the divid between the two levels is crossed by a ladder. While this would work for most people I think elderly people would struggle with this, as my grandparents would struggle to deal with stairs. Meaning that half the home would be unusable without assistance, which would be a large portion of the year with the flock going around the plains. Perhaps some sort of elevator could be made, using a windmill, given their heavy use of tarps. But that might be a bit too much tech.
The shelters are really interesting, and I think they make a lot of sense. Although, for people who love space and freedom so much, I do wonder how exactly they're able to survive winter towns at all 😅 (I'm mostly kidding of course)
Also, I keep losing track of which type of house has what, so I always wonder why they migrate so much if they have to dig huge pits until I remember.
This might be a little late to post, but have you considered how the winter might be different lengths depending on where each city is located? Those further south would have shorter winters (assuming this continent is in the northern hemisphere), while the northernmost would have much longer winters, upwards of six months or more if they are far enough north. Where I live in the Canadian Prairies winter routinely lasts 7 or 8 months, and the planting season for farmers and gardeners doesn't truly begin until May. But on the Western side of the mountains, with the influence of the ocean, spring begins as early as late Feb. Prairies tend to make for harsher climates, which fits with the quaylians, but I feel like you haven't explored all the implications.
I know this isn’t technically about the Qyaalyon but you’ve mentioned how their wings may be imbued with magic and I was wondering what presence magic has in peoples lives. Are there mortal mages or is magic only for the gods?
Very well timed topic for what I've been working on lately.
I have Pixies who live on a moon with a humanoid cat/neko like race. Their gas giant takes 4 years to orbit their star so each season ends up being about 1 year long.
The pixies don't do much migrating as they live on a sacluted island chain about the size of Ireland. Though many of the cat people do migrate inland during winter than out to the coast during warmer years. I'm unsure how this will change once they get to an early to mid industrial era.
Great stuff!! Some things to consider:
If these houses are built for the elderly, you may want to keep accessibility in mind. Granny likely won’t be able to use that ladder. Perhaps a single story instead, with two separate buildings for living vs storage? Or perhaps the whole family sleeps in the rafters and the floor is for storage?
Also, regarding construction you should check out Norman pit houses which use a similar (if rougher) style of construction. There is a great UA-camr (Gewissae or something?) who does this by hand. They don’t lay beams around the bottom (which would rot), just bury the upright posts about a forearm deep. Usually, the ends of posts which will touch earth are charred to protect them from insects and rot. Also, river clay would not protect against moisture in a building for very long. You’d want lime mortar, perhaps wattle/daub, or similar for that. Come to think - dung, grass, and mud are the primary ingredients in wattle and daub, all eminently available on grasslands. Food for thought? 🤔
I like the entire train of thought in the worldbuilding. Things people don't always stop and think about this deeply. It's great and immersive
Oh I adore how detailed this is!! You put so much thought into this, its very obvious! Also, man, seeing my name in the credits takes me by surprise every time pft
To save weight, the "runners" and unflocked quaalyon could use hammocks and a rain tarp and hang them high in the trees for safety.
flockhoppers*
I love all the names of the city’s very creative
I think it would be interesting to look into how society handles different disabilities beyond basic old age and vision problems, both physical and mental.
I like the way this captures the rhythm of going to visit family for the holidays and makes that a central experience of this culture.
With all the mingling of different age groups in the winter, would there be fights and arguments often, or would it be more chill? (You mentioned that it was similar to Thanksgiving/Christmas, so my mind immediately went to the infamous family argument at dinner during these holidays lol)
Also, do flocks ever pass by a winter town during migration and stay there for however long they land for?
I'm curious about the book you showed briefly showing that illustration of an igloo. Also, love these videos and can't wait to see what other ideas you have.
Gorgeous. Feels like a great place for a group of D&D style adventurers to invade in summer, looking for easy loot. A lot of random treasure, possibly the wings get a high price in the market, and all your group of soulless adventures has to do is to kill a bunch of old people.
Then the heroes must walk their way out "Bird-People's" territory, step by step, and you get your chance to teach the players why every adventurer in the world isn't taking those free lunches. The perfect cautionary tale.
Question, are you planning on doing a race of pigeon avions? If not that's fine, I'm just thinking of a bunch of pigeon messangers used by the simonans. I think that the pigeon avians would be not respected by the other avian races, because of them taking messages and work from the simonans. Maybe if the pigeons were messangers they'd be payed by the simonans with resources? They could be nomads like the Quaalyon, carrying small tents with them as they flew, or maybe also having small towns scattered across the continent. The reason I imagine the simonans giving resources to the pigeons is because like, feeding the pigeons, y'know? I haven't put much though into it, but I though it would be an interesting idea.
I don't know how you could incorporate this but I recently learned of a bird species called the prairie falcon. They are closely related to the peregrine falcon (the fastest living animal) and saw a video of the hunting. It was so fasted I literally blink and missed it. Their hunting method is to find unaware prey and they fly at them at high speeds, then curling their talons closed and "punching" them at 50 to 75 mph instantly killing or disabling their prey. I'm not sure if you could (or should) incorporate this but thinks it's could be a way to add in a fast flier that packs a punch (hehe), hunting companion (ie falconry), or just an interesting monster or hunting style specific to a certain flock :D. Or its just a cool bird fact who to say.
I might actually add this snazzy detail to one of my avian races! They’re based on ptarmigans, sort of rock birds and fun fact there one of the only bird species that have a “winter coat”. This could work for them but how much space would they need for this sort of manoeuvre is important for me because the ptarmigan people live on mountains and the steppes that lead up to the mountains.
@@winstermagic7886 Prarie Flacons go into steep dives and then swoop up to catch prey. So they fly up high and search for easy targets before committing to such an attack. The ptarmigan people you described live sounds like it would be perfect for this kind of hunting style and the room should be accommodating. They just need to make sure to watch out for misses and landings because it sounds like the area they will in is a little rocky. Glad my bird facts helped!
@@ayroberson6731 *rubs hands together* excellent
Have you ever discused the exsistance of same-sex couples or gender non-conforming Qyaalyons? I think that'd be a really interesting topic to explore. Like if there was a poly relationship and they were ostracized by the monogomous parings. Maybe there could be a flock specifically for queer Qyaalyns? Maybe other flocks shun them, but they were one of the few specialized flocks, like that all female flock you've mentioned, to survive for multiple generations; even despite the preconcieved notion that they'd die out from a smaller population of couples which could reproduce. I mean, they could even take in children from other flocks who were wiped out or whose parents simply didn't want them... The possibilities are endless!
Just a few suggestions for the housing that came to mind, the ground floor might be raised a few inches just to prevent dirt and dust from blowing in through the doorway. Another thing is they might cover the rocks with clay or something similar to keep the stone from becoming drafty in the winter. If they are storing stuff underground they would also have to worry about keeping the area dry if any water started to seep in it would become a growing zone for mold and mildew, if they have shelves and stuff along the walls it would be hard to tell it was growing. One last suggestion the basement would probably be pretty cool in the summer maybe some elders can sleep down there to keep out of the heat during the hottest days of the summer. It is why hobbit houses exist they were strongly insulated by the dirt around them which kept them cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Hi, about qyaalon bird song....have u come across Mongolian throat singing? Could be an interesting real life inspiration 🤔....love your work btw 🙋♂️!
"Not many children born in the Autumn months"
XD
youtube recommended this to me and I have no idea whats going on but I dig it 👌
Your editing gets smoother with every video. I love it and can’t wait to see more!
During the summer months who protects the elders? For example some of the groups live neighbouring other races. What do they do during times of conflict/land dispute. Are any of their neighbours interested in their land. Considering the warmer months are often easier for armies to attack in as fighting in winter is often difficult is there a reason why their territory is is safe?
I really like how you organized the topics from start to finish, I feel like I always struggle with making that first template for things. I have a couple avian humanoid races, and I like how you looked into their everyday lifestyle things with intricate details, it is a good way to see how they overcome challenges and obstacles in life.
Wooah, this is so cool! I have my own little conculture of avian people called the Ofyki and I'm pleasantly surprised at just how different they are from the Quaalyon culturally despite their biological similarities.
This world is very interesting keep up the good work and I hope to see full story play out
What happens to the winter bitohs of flocks that fall apart? Do they get used by other new flocks? Or is doing something like that considered lazy/bad luck? Do these abandoned bitohs get destroyed? Or are they allowed to stand as lessons and warnings to those seeking to create a new flock?
I wish I could have fun celebrating festivals and getting lost and the winding streets of Qin-Hakas. If only the worlds of our dreams could come true!
If only thete was a town like those to visit... my kids would love the play grownd
Do other avian species share the same winter towns, if not and space is a considerable constraint on them as a whole then there would be a limit to the amounts of other subspecies you could create? You spoke early about an owl avian race, do they also live in the praie and winter towns or do only the Qyaalyon live in this continent and the other species are somewhere we haven't seen yet.
i really love the worldbuilding of cultures and history u have created. one of the qyaaylon videos was sitting in my watch list for a good while before i watched it. but I'm so glad i did and its inspired me to pick up my own worldbuilding again :)
I love this! Everything ties together so well, I love it 👍😁
Oooo love this! It's fascinating to watch these stories grow and expand
I can imagine them roasting small food like popcorn or marshmallows on the small communal stove. It seems cozy.
Worldbuilding!
It’s always a good day when you post about the birb people
I think it would be a cool thing if they start advancing enough that they would creat tall artificial mounds for their homes to rest ontop of.
Higher elevated homes because they can fly, You know?
On your map of the town, it shows a dedicated air strip to the west. Why is that?
When I imagine a bird-human hybird society, they wouldn't go to a dedicated place to take off, they would just do so from wherever they happen to be standing, with a running start if needed.
Love this series and it inspires me to go just as in depth in my worldbuilding.
Or maybe a few areas like corrals / helipads. That way they can take off and land at some place near their destination, but wouldn't make an enormous mess from the dust stirred by takeoff.
There’s a reason, we just haven’t gotten there yet.
this helps so much with two of my races for a story of mine! Thank you for this! I was struggling honestly.
Just binged all your videos and I gotta say, your world building has really inspired me to diversify my own! I am curious about how your qyaalyon would/could potentially resolve a specific type of conflict, though. If oath/promise breaking is so heavily looked down upon, what would happen if two oaths end up conflicting one another. Example, say qyaalyon A made a promise never to enter qyaalyon B's hunting territory for some reason (maybe a past argument over who claimed a kill) later down the line qyaalyon A makes an oath to protect qyaalyon C. Easy enough right? But, uh oh, qyaalyon C finds themselves in danger in qyaalyon B's territory. Is qyaalyon A considered an oath breaker if they end up choosing to honor one promise over another? (I guess more context/detail would be necessary to truly decide which route is the correct to take, like is Qyaalyon B there to witness the tresspass, was qyaalyon C knowingly being reckless and getting into danger on purpose, etcetera, but it is fun to think about~)
I'm just theorizing here, but perhaps this is something that flocks argue about and flock splits are even caused by? There is no perfect answer, thus no perfect solution, thus more problems.
Though that's just what I think, and I could be totally off
I think it would be very useful for the Aviens to have a comb for there wings to spread out the musk . It could be made out of ivory or wood or bone.
Random video recommendation so missing some things, but- What do you mean by diversity exactly, and how do they not homogenize if they're so mobile and intermixed for so long? Cosmopolitanism only functions with constant inflow of the separate stock and even then only for so long while those conditions last before the descendants of that cosmopolitan center become a new demographic of their own. You wouldn't have a variety of different feathers for long if there were no efforts to preserve them.
This video was so fun and interesting to watch, and thank you for adding subtitles!
I always get so excited when I see one of your videos in my recommended, cause I know I'm about to be hella inspired
Wouldn’t it make more sense to make the roof out of thatch or grasses than leather?
The plains around them would be the source instead of the time and effort of tanning all those hides of leather.
I hope that when the nautikans got their next tuns they get architecture as well.
Idea: i have an idea for your unidecied species in forest i could be something small if the forst is dense but if the forest is huge (lika a redwood forest) it could be home for something lika a giant or something else because it is your world and i like your worldbuilding and how unique and intresting something could be if you try hard enough and you have inspired me (partialy) to do that with my work... thank you...
This is such a great project you've had going! I love this channel.
This video was amazing! your content always inspires me to continue fleshing out my own worlds
I kind of want to live in one of those, but I know I would probably hate it,
Maybe silvers have different clothes too like not very different but kind of and maybe they also have different kind of music thats native to the Nauticsns.
I commented this on an older video, but I think that this world is some sort of experiment done on groups of humans. I think the pantheon of gods & goddesses are actually scientists of some kind.
I love the amount of detail you put into each of your videos, keep it up!
This is such an underrated chanel, I get so excited when new videos come out!
Since leather is heavier than fabric, would it not be more practical to use as much fabric as possible for the temporary tents. The walls / sides that do not have the same need to be waterproof. Weight is extremely important for a flying culture. They would count every gram.
Yes, if they had access to it. The Blacks might from the Agians, and the silvers could have gotten lotus linen from the Nautikans in the past. But they don’t have the means to produce it themselves. They might have woven some fabrics from mammoth wool historically, but those are gone now too.
I saw the video, screamed, then got sad because it’s only 11 mins. 😂 excited to listen!
I think the plants you're looking for is "River reed".
Every time you upload I want to write my own stories so much! Great video, gives me a lot to think about my own worldbuilding
hey, I've been inspiring a lot in the qyaalyons to make one of my cultures and I'm loving the channel, and I wanted to know if you have any tips in building a culture, like a spreadsheet, a guideline or some thing like that?
ooh I like the new illustrations!
This was super cool. Loved the video. ❤️
Great video, as always!
Quick question.
How would Qyaalyens react to a person that has some form of "fast movement" magic?
Like, "Lightning Step", or something?
Essentialy, someone who is capable of keeping pace with a hunter in full flight, while remaining in the ground themselfs.
Would there be some respect for the land dweller, or would they be terrified?
Could there may be myths about some monster, that, if a hunter was spottet by this, creature/abomination, they had to keep flying until exhaustion took it's toll, not able to return to the flock, to not risk the destruction of it?
Could also double as a cautionary tale to always pay close attention to your surroundings, now that I think about it.
large towns like this usualy require something akin to a government or court, i imagine something like the viking "thing" woud be apropriate were representatives from eatch flok come together to judge crimes and make desitions on whatever conserns the hole of the town.
this woud in turn lead to power within the flock being fokused on their yinante but the power to projekt being fokused in their senoir-most elder as they woud represent the flok in trails & disputes
Maybe I got I wrong, but wouldn't the silvers prefer to have their winter town either on the foothills of the mountains or in a valley? If it's on the peak it would have very rigid weather during the winter.
You posted on your discord and I came right over
wow, this is beautiful
4:53 What about really narrow backs for at least a little support? 8:13 I imagine a backstroke would be impossible.
Do qualian lay eggs and if so do they carry it in a backpack or like one of those baby carriers
They give live birth, from what I remember
I wish I could give everyone of your videos a hundred likes!
I know you said the elders stay throughout the year, but I was wondering if maybe pregnant/infants stay until they are able to fly on their own. And much less relevant question, you mentioned that they migrate 9 months of the year which made me wonder if your world also has 12 months and how long does each month last. I apologize if you've answered this before, this is my introduction to your channel.
I have some questions, would it be common for different avian groups to live with each other or would that only happen in small groups? Also can you make a Qyaalyon mythology video to describe their beliefs and legends more?
From what I know about Qyaalyon, I don't think they would live with other avians. I don't know about the other groups though
i love your drawing
just a lovely addition to the world
It was super cool to draw art for this video! I love your content.
Is the discord only for patrons?
There is no Patreon yet. Discord invite is in the description box.
LOVE!
This is so cool
Such good work
Mrs pattie do they have cotton or something I think you the old making clothing so I was thinking the have a plant thats like cotton that might use for winter wear for kids cause is not really comfortable but I would understand why you wouldn't want to do that. Another thing is maybe a cactus like fruit that retains water and that they could gather through the winter as the rivers and lake freeze just some idea
So the ones from the mountains are called Silvers and the easy-going ones at the foot of the mountains are the browns? this reminded me of a character of my own who could'a been a mix of the two. Are couples of diferent clans very comon?
The sudden urge to worldbuild
Love this Mariah! I hope I’ll be able to build cultures as strong and interesting when it comes time :D Also, good call deleting instagram, that’s working smart. Are any of your stories available for reading? Is that something that will come one day?
Cheers!
P.S. Love it when Americans say “roof”
thanks :) I've put a few things up on discord but only exerts and shorts I wanted feedback on. I'm not in a hurry to publish anything. I've heard that Tolkien worked on middle earth for 21 years before the hobbit was published and 38 years before LOTR was.
Can you do a vid on holidays and culture celebration
Do you think any young Qyaalyon would settle into one place permantally? Like build a more sturdy permanant hut/cottage somewhere for them and their partner/family to live and just hunt in their area and they can visit the winter towns to see friends/family who flew off for the spring-summer? Or would it just be totally unheard of?
safety in numbers, infrastructure in the towns. Not unless there was a good reason to strike out on your own, or if you'd been banished from the towns.
@@mariahpattieworldbuilding4062 makes sense - thank you! Love these videos~
