I just signed up for a Throne account, even though it makes me feel uncomfortable. I want to explain why.

Looking for worldbuilding advice is inevitably a double-edged sword; there's plenty of it out there, but so much of it will simply overwhelm you and push you into self-preservation mode, where you batten down the hatches and just pretend that it isn't there.

It's been a long time coming,as I got side-swiped by illness, holidays and other such issues. But now, we return to the mess that is Lore24!

Returning to the artefacts and legends, we investigate some new places, a couple of constellation origins, and some fun objects of power!

We're starting a new theme, artefacts and legends, beginning with a couple of my favourites, and deepening some already established lore.

This is the last lot of animals for this section, we will be moving on to artefacts and legends next time!

We predominantly explore the Season of Summer and the various festivities within, before turning our attention to the beginning of Autumn.

We explore the A'arden Calendar through the months of Rainmoot, Greenrise and Goldrise, and are introduced to Solstices and Equinoxes!

We move from Gods to the Calendar during this post, switching themes to focus on something a little more mundane than almighty beings!

We're focusing on more Gods this time around, and looking at one more Pantheon as we approach the end of the month.

Marching on with "Gods and Spirits", I covered a broad variety of topics within the theme, introducing some deities, spirits and pantheons.

Continuing this month's theme of "Gods and Spirits", I focused on some figures that I particularly like, and introduced another Pantheon.
