Mohanshu

This week is the overview of the last “country” on the continent of Bhaskara: Mohanshu.  It’s a diverse place, in both geography and biology.   I hope you enjoy the write up.

The Terror of Mhadhavi

This week’s blog is an overview of the ruler of Mhadhavi.  His name means “terror” and it’s appropriate.  Using D&D alignments, this guy epitomizes chaotic evil.

Read the full article here: Bhay

The photograph this week is one of mine, meant to represent the tangled nature of the Mhadhavi forest.  It tells me that I need to get out and take more pictures. 🙂

Mhadhavi Forest

This week is about the Mhadhavi forest.  As you can guess, it has lots of trees.  It also has humans and elves working together in harmony because, well, that’s the only they can survive when the Lord of Mhadhavi goes a-hunting.

The photograph this week is one of mine.  It’s actually a very peaceful spot, but we don’t have white water around here so peaceful it is.

Lord of Akshay

This week’s blog is about Havadar, ruler of Akshay.  He’s a hands-off sort of ruler who prefers to watch his domain from the sky rather than to rule from the ground.  In personality, he’s a stereotypical surfer dude: It’s all good, man.  However, he’s a deep and philosophical thinker, more prone to pondering life, the universe, and everything than his fellow dragons are.

You can read the full blog here: Havadar

The photograph is mine. 🙂

Akshay

The plains and woods of Akshay encompass a rather large section of the Bhaskaran continent.  It’s ruled, lightly, by a dragon named Havadar, which means “breezy” or “airy.”  It’s a wild and open place, perfect for those who prefer freedom to any other thing.

Pahara, Lady of Mahday

This week’s blog is about the dragon who rules Mahday: Pahara.  She’s a quiet being who is ruthless in her leadership.  But she’s not cruel for the sake of cruelty.  She’s fair, but has little mercy.

Mahday

This week is an introduction to the part of Bhaskara named Mahday.  It’s a beautiful land of low rolling mountains covered in forests.  You can read the full page here: Mahday.

Turning Day

A longer blog, still about the holidays.  Devanand celebrates it’s New Year on the autumnal equinox, not on some random day in the middle of winter the way we do.  Rather than making a new page, I updated the Holiday Traditions page that I published last week.

You can read all about the Devanandi new year here: Holiday Traditions.

Feasting Day

Short blog today.  In honor of the winter holidays, I decided to write a little about Devanandi holiday traditions.  You can read about Feasting Day (the winter solstice) here: Holiday Traditions

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Devanandi Names

A short blog this week about naming conventions in the world of Devanand.

I love languages, and accents, and learning about other cultures, and have tried to add some of that flavor into my world.

I use the Internet extensively for English-Other language translation, and realize that not all my translations are 100% accurate.  But I’m looking for names for a fantasy world, not trying to speak other languages, so I don’t worry about it *too* much. 😀

The page is here: A Guide to Devanandi Names

Enjoy it, and Happy Holidays!
