I don't bring them up very often, but I do have merfolk in my world. They're pinnipeds, so they don't live fully underwater, but many of them are involved with the organization of international trade routes, ensuring the trade ships can travel safely from port to port.

#AnthropologyAugust Let’s change gears a little bit as we start a new week, let’s talk about how the environment effects your worlds people and the development of its species. Does your world have any seafaring people? Or any species that live underwater? #promptgame #writingcommunity

You'll get a different answer from all of them. But the pixies, despite their short individual lifespans, may have the most detailed history. Their hive minds allow them to carry memories on through the generations, so while other folks lose details of their history over time, the pixies do not.

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · last wk.

#AnthropologyAugust let’s talk about history. Different species and different cultures develop at different times, which means that you will always end up with one group with a substantially longer history than another. Which species or groups have especially long histories? (Fiction only)

Day 7: within your setting. which species has the longest history? Did some develop before others?

The pixies are the most technologically advanced by a long shot. They are slowly sharing that tech, starting with radio and telegrams. They wear mini vibration-based vocoders just to talk to vertebrate people. It makes them all sound like tiny robots. Very monotone early computer voices.

#AnthropologyAugust Let’s talk about technology, not just medicine, but all tech. Which of your groups or species has the most advanced technology? And which is the least advanced? Are there groups that hoard their advancements? Or are they shared freely? Or do some reject technology? #prompt

Day 6: Which of your species is the most, or least, technologically advanced?
miss.m.winks@miss-winks.bsky.social · 2w ago

They've prioritized medical advancement in different ways. Orcs have the most advanced dentistry. Drow developed a specialized type of HRT before they had a word for hormones. Overall, the world has fairly advanced medical science in part because of healing magic.

#AnthropologyAugust Today let’s get into some of the knitty gritty of your species. Which species in your setting has the most advanced medical technology? Have any of them developed medications or vaccines? Have any of the groups in your worlds figured out modern medicine? #promptgame

Day 5 : Which species has the most advanced medical technology? Does everyone know about germs?

#augpalette26 #limitedpalette #art Loved working with these colors! This character is my oc Trout.

Digital painting of a lake at sunset. It is painted in shades of orange with blue shadows. An elf-like character sits on a dock overlooking the lake, with their back to the viewer, wearing only a pair of shorts.

Pixies. Giant sapient wasp-bees. They look more like wasps but their hive societies are structured more like that of bees. The largest pixies are the "queens" at about 6 inches. Most pixies are 3-4 inches long.

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2w ago

#AnthropologyAugust Once again doing the opposite, we just talked about the largest intelligent species, now what is the smallest? Does your setting have goblins or gnomes? Or does it have even smaller creatures like bugs or fairies? Does their size affect their interactions with other species?

miss.m.winks@miss-winks.bsky.social · 2w ago

The centaurs are massive, standing on average around 12ft tall and close to 8ft long from their lower chest to their tail. Their closest animal relatives were the chalicotheres, an ice age megafauna group most well known for the "gorilla horse" variety (though there were other chalicotheres)

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2w ago

#AnthropologyAugust We have talked about the rarest, and the most plentiful but now let’s talk about the biggest. Do you have any intelligent species that could be considered megafauna? Or even larger that might be kaiju sized? #promptgame #prompt #writesky #writingcomunity

What is the largest intelligent species in your setting?
miss.m.winks@miss-winks.bsky.social · 2w ago

Definitely the quetzalin, my birdfolk. They're the youngest people species, so they've had a lot less time to grow their population, and they're mostly all living in just one area of a tropical rainforest while almost every other people species has managed to spread to locations around the world.

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2w ago

#AnthropologyAugust Yesterday we talked about the most common intelligent species, whether that be the most well spread or the highest population. Today let’s talk about the opposite What is the rarest intelligent species? How did they become so few? Are any near extinction? #promtgame #writesky

Day 2 : What is the least common or rarest intelligent species in your world? Was this always the case?
miss.m.winks@miss-winks.bsky.social · 2w ago

By numbers it's the pixies, because they are giant sapient wasp-bees. A single hive can have a population well into the thousands, and they'll have multiple hives within the range of a single town populated by any other people. For the vertebrates though, probably goblins, with elves close behind

MYSTIC@mystic888wizard.bsky.social · 2w ago

#AnthropologyAugust Ok let’s get this going with day 1! What is the most common intelligent sapient species in your fantasy world? That can either be the one with the highest population, or just the one that is spread around the most. What makes them so common? #writesky #promptgame #prompt

If you see this, I dare you to share your program and art! Paint tool SAI may lack some features other programs have, but I love its blending tools. Really useful for my painting style.

If you see this, I dare you to share your program and art! I used an old copy of CS6 for years denying updates to my laptop at the time because it would have made it unusable when Adobe changed to a subscription model. In 2020 I finally updated and lost Photoshop 🫠

The gnomes believe the sun is a watchful deity. His light is a guide, and he guards the boundary between life and death. They also believe he is married to the mountain goddess, so sunflowers are an important cultural symbol for the gnomish religion.

Good morning, #JulyWorldbuilders! This one should be easier for you fantasy writers~ What myths or legends exist about your world's sun? Is it a god? Something created by a god? A magic hole in the sky? Tell me all about it 👀 ☀️

MonthlyWorldbuilders prompts daily feed card #JulyWorldbuilders Hosted by Kira of the Wind Week 2: The Sun 9. What are some myths or legends about your world's sun? The background image shows a forest with the sun at a low angle, shining below the canopy. It’s very pretty green and yellow, giving a soft, gentle, warm feeling.

The sun is normal, but the world has the lose beginnings of a plantery ring, and two small moons alongside a larger one. So the nights are quite bright from the extra sunlight reflection.

Welcome to a new week of #JulyWorldbuilders. This week we're talking about the SUN. This one might not have an interesting answer for some of you, but for those of you who have worldbuilt weird suns, tell me about it! What's a weird and fun thing about the sun in your story?
