That said people like Vola, Wali, and the Open Sourcerers are trying to show the world that they do not need all that and can "do it easy" from home.

The components for most powerful magics that are rare or high quality act as "barriers to entry" along with the cost of education for the languages and books needed for high level magics. Not to mention access to the space, and facilities to cast and maintain the magic. (1/2)

Imperial Family.

In real life I have been bullied/assaulted for being queer in the deep south, and thankfully came out as Trans in a place and community that was safe for me.

Being Goth, pagan, and growing up in an artsy but lower class area influenced our setting of The Silks heavily. (3/?)

exploring music subculture, queer identity, religious trauma and sapphic/queer relationships.

Our series addresses discrimination of queer, minority races, and economic classes in a new nation that is slowly shrugging off the shackles of a corrupt caste system and devil-bound (2/?)

This has massive implications. Especially when countries who use magical means to supply things they lack in natural mundane resources leverage this ability to undercut trade (1/?)

Those who try to fly over or sneak past the wards will always find the trees and forests out of reach. No matter how far you travel.

The Deep Forest is what creates and spreads the pollen like magic of Jangal across the continent.

Others are subterranean, forced to grow underground due to the more dominant trees. Unless you are a high ranking member of Jangalian military or Druidic/holy sects, you can only admire the forests from the distance. Not that you could see them even if you wanted. (2/?)

The Deep Forest of Jangal are very unique. If there is a "power core" to the Elvish Nation it is the largest and oldest trees in Jangal. Some as massive and tall as skyscrapers. (1/?)

don't spoil things about the magic energy of Sehore and Jangal and also that Eitos is the most integrated of Technology and Magic following a calamity. This will help with later stories and where Mara's journey will take her.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

then cults and terrorist groups in the North may have been caught sooner. Ahn-me would still be sweet little Regina with a mom and dad.

If the Sehorean Government hadn't turned a blind eye to the Church of Nakshatra, there wouldn't be a staggeringly high suicide rate of exiled Aasimar.
