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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Children of God’s Joy, pt. 2

 

This week I take a look at the elves and humans of Devanand.   Humans you should already know, but this compares them to their sister races.  The elves may be different from those you’re used to, as they’re not from a land of Faerie, but evolved from the same mammals as humans, dwarves, and gnomes.

Children of God’s Joy

 

Devanand, which means God’s Joy, has five sentient races: dragons, dwarves, gnomes, elves, and humans.

The blog this week gives an overview of dwarves and gnomes, a bare-bones look at their temperaments and social structures.

Powers and Principalities

 

This week’s blog focuses on Devanand’s deities, clerics, and magical powers.  This is not a list of the gods, but an overview of the powers that exist in the world, and the difference between divine power and magic.

Coin and Commerce

This week I’ve written an overview of the economy of Devanand.  When money is used, the basic unit is the copper.  Many transactions use a half- or quarter-coin.  Only the very wealthy use gold, and platinum coins are used only at the governmental level.

Celestial Matters, part two

Celestial Matters, part two: The Night Sky

Devanand’s night sky is as beautiful as our own.  Moon, stars, meteors and comets, and a “Milky Way” of their own.  You can read the full write up here: The Night Sky
