...and despair, it is needless to say both fights ended up with a swift Dolorum victory.

#MarchWorldbuilders Day 7:

There is a certain plant-themed dreamspawn that was initially defeated by Sever, and later defeated again by Shizuka after being revived by Sever's brother to serve as an agent for the short-lived Oblivion Provenance. Since their trump card is based on inducing fear...

...with steep penalties for those who attempt to push past these regulations seeking increased short-term gains.

#worldbuilding #shuunkuustonks

Gold, silver, and copper on the other hand only recently got regulated, and much of it is imported to the Empire due to their natural mines for these metals having been depleted during the Reality War. That said, the mutual economic interest of Eisui and the Empire maintains standards for mining...

#Marchistics Day 7:

Due to constant psionic feedback from Verim, Mithril is considered sustainable as long as the mining operations remain within regulatory parameters. Platinum is also fairly regulated as well, so there is no current concern for depletion there either.

I also mentioned a while ago how the elves of the forest in the northeastern region harvest local mushrooms to incorporate in their cuisine, so I will simply mention it rather than retreading old ground.

#MarchWorldbuilders Day 6:

There are various plants that are grown for agricultural purposes. The Goldenrod Fields in the western stretch of the imperial continent between Aurem and Verim is called that for the endless stretches of wheat cultivated in the regional farms.

...and mistreatment of these vital members of the overall supply chain is treated very seriously under imperial law.

#Marchistics Day 6:

Generally, most of the mining is still done by a workforce subsidized by the imperial taskforce at the behest of the Verim Reserve. More importantly, they are guaranteed significant quality of life...

Also, notable is that Nadi᷈l (“adder snake”) is an instance of a borrowed word from old/early modern english pre-metanalysis.

Prompt 2: Two or more words that refer to specific categories of animal smaller than the level of species, or cutting across it, e.g. ‘male adult horse’ or ‘baby bird’.

Words fulfilled: Kur, “wolf pup”; Gūri᷈r, “werewolf”; C,“adder snake”

Prompt 1: Two or more words that refer to animal species and are either derived (including compounds or phrases) or onomatopoeic/ideophonic.

Words fulfilled: Gūr, “wolf”; Ṣaṣ, “snake/serpent”

#Lexarch Week 1

Words (9/7): Urūr (n, “snarl/growl”), Urūbū (v, “to howl”), Gūr (n, “wolf”), Kur (n.dim, “wolf pup”), Gūri᷈r (n, “werewolf”), Ṣaṣa (n, “hiss”), Ṣaṣu (v, “to hiss”), Ṣaṣ (n, “snake/serpent”), Nadi᷈l (n, “adder snake”)

That said, I will be participating since I only need to do a minimum of 7 words per week and can fulfill 2-4 of the provided prompts.

I'll be using the better derived tag of #lexarch for each week's offering.

The former since Verim Mithril has natural psychic resonance, and improper mining can muddle that quality. Sure, that is less important for how it is used in this particular case, but generally those in charge want to harvest as much high-grade ore from the veins as they can.

#Marchistics Day 5:

The actual mining processes are for the most part fairly straightforward, although the mithril veins under Verim do require specialized tools that bear the right resonance signature to harvest the ore without any impurities.

Apparently, there's Marchexember now...which is a folk etymology title if I've ever seen one. I can just *feel* my historical linguistics professor cringing wherever he is right now...

...often to a parasocial or parasitic extent.

Needless to say, this has not really helped the reputation of Moonblush within the Empire, and balancing preservation with regulation has been a tricky legislative endeavor even for the likes of Sever and his inner council.

#MarchWorldbuilders Day 4:

I have talked about wisteria in #shuunkuu, but it has a particular connotation in #phori. There's the term, Ze᷈ribe (shortened from Ze᷈ribeta), which literally means 'wisteria-like'. However, it has come to signify someone who is clingy or dependent on another person...

Many of these mines are designated as government property in order to allow for smoother shipments to processing centers.

#worldbuilding #shuunkuustonks

#Marchistics Day 4:

While Platinum and Mithril are sourced from the mines under Verim, most of the copper, silver, and gold mines are actually located from the southwestern coast of the imperial continent to the western side of Mount Yakou in Eisui.

I pulled something out regardless. I might as well try and add if there's a gap that can plausibly be filled.

These days, they exist as a rare specimen among licensed collectors for observational and scientific study only, with heavy penalties if they are found guilty of producing its controlled substance byproduct.

...and more because the mycotoxin had been routinely gathered and processed into a recreational drug under the lax authority of the prior administration. Thus, they were eliminated in the wild and regulated heavily for private cultivation to crack down on the supply of this controlled substance.

...which were called dreammoth mushrooms for the soporific mycotoxins they gave off when disturbed. However, much of the colonies in the wild were wiped out as mining operations were scaled up following the establishment of Verim, although it was less to do with interfering with those operations...

#MarchWorldbuilders Day 3:

I talked about common forest fungi in the domain of the forest elves with a similar prompt last month. That said, there is something else that comes to mind...

There was once a mushroom that grew in the subterranean mines under what is now Verim in the modern day...

Guess I'll have to think up something new...

I feel I already covered this topic in last month's prompt set lol

Addendum: To avoid "illegal" consonant clusters in grammar, there are also the allomorphs "I᷈li᷈-" and "O̤ro̤-" respectively.

...rather than further complicate the syntax/grammar.
