A sketch of Altan Cemal, a half-elf man with curly hair and a neat beard, with a curved shamshir sword resting on his shoulder. The sketch is unfinished; while Altanโ€™s face is detailed, but his body lacks it. The hand that holds the weaponโ€™s hilt is mirrored by a reference photo just above it.

A black-and-white sketch of Freya, a smiling young woman with large round glasses and horns that curl down around her face. She has long wavy hair with two braids worn over her shoulders, wears a long dress with poofy sleeves, and carries a staff topped by rings with bells hanging inside them.

An illustration of a wild horse larger than an elephant, with a coal of mottled blue and teal and a curly mane and beard of light brown. To the right, a sketch shows a humanoid figure standing just above its ankle, and a column of text reads as follows:

โ€œThe tutelary god of the river which bears its name, Old Swift is a gentle giant, a water spirit which takes the form of an enormous wild horse. Though quite imposing, Swift is quite shy, and is rarely seen even by locals whose livelihood is found in fishing on the river.

โ€œThere is one time Swift can be counted on to appear; during the spring thaw, the waters can rise rapidly, and people gather around the time of the Yearโ€™s End festival to witness the great spirit gallop down from the mountain streams across the waterโ€™s surface in its journey to the seaโ€

An illustration of a mass of dark earth which is shaped into a crude quadrapedal form. The top of the body is covered in bright green grass, with a small sprout with two leaves growing from the center. On the left side, a column of text reads as follows:

โ€œA loam strider is a land spirit which manifests as a visually rather unremarkable sprouting herb with a penchant for growing deceptively robust and sprawling root networks.

โ€œIn certain conditions (typically when
growing in crowded but very rich soil),
a loam strider plant is able to magically
cause its roots to animate the ground in
which it grows. The resulting elemental
formation will then wander off to find more
suitable conditions for the plant, all the while helping to distribute seeds as it matures.

โ€œAs an herb, the loam strider plant is a versatile ingredient in many magical concoctions, with the roots of course being a staple in many invigorating tonics.

โ€œThe holes left behind by the land spirit itself will also typically manifest a variety of lingering magical properties.โ€

An illustration of a nude, androgynous humanoid figure with long sandy brown hair and unusually long limbs, with organic patterns on their skin in grey and brown hues. On the right side, sketches demonstrate their face seeming to blend into a mountainside behind them, as well as a peaceful interacting with a rabbit. On the left side, a column of text reads as follows:

โ€œCALLOW

โ€œCallow Peak is a mountain that stands on the western edge of the Aerden Peninsula, between the Shelterwood and the Annan Strait. Its eponymous patron spirit manifests in the form of an androgynous youth with skin patterned like stone and soil. 

โ€œWhen humans began working the land at the foot of the mountian, Callow took a liking to them, and so blessed the waters which ran from their springs to invigorate and strengthen the people that drank from them; but the spiritโ€™s favor soured when they saw people begin using their boons to wage war.

โ€œThey placed upon their gift a curse; those who would employ their blessing of strength for violence of any kind would fall into an eternal magical sleep.โ€

An illustration of a withered tree with a bear skeleton lying at its base. A forest cat sleeps within the roots, which twist around it like jaws about to close. On the left, a column of text reads as follows:

โ€œCALLS-TO-ROT

โ€œIn a world where hostile and monstrous entities are frequently contrasted with the spirutual manifestations of nature, there are creatures which blur that boundary. A monster is not always malicious, and โ€˜naturalโ€™ is not a synonym for โ€˜good.โ€™

โ€œThe bizarre tree known as Calls-to-Rot is a sharp reminder of these truths. The plant itself is brittle and weak, not apparently well suited to the harsher conditions of its
native region, but it persists nonetheless through the unconventional and harrowing feeding strategy which lends the tree its name; the power to compel other living creatures to lie down at their roots, and
not get up again. What remains of them decays, providing abundant fertilizer for the tree, giving it that much more of a chance of survival.

โ€œCalls-to-Rot is exceedingly rare, and its methods are kept in check by the already sparse resources available in its range of growth. However, should one ever manage to take root in any location more abundant with life, the effects on the ecosystem can be catastrophic if not swiftly dealt with by local stewards.โ€

Three panels arranged beneath the heading โ€œYEARโ€™S END.โ€ From left to right, they depict an old man with a black cloak holding a finger to his lips, a young red-haired woman in a teal dress dancing at a festival, and a dark-skinned woman with long pointed ears standing before a gray stone monolith. To the left, a column of text reads the following:

โ€œAcross the Aerden peninsula, the changing of the year takes place between the end of winter and the turning of spring. During this time of renewal, a celebration is observed, a three-day period which belongs to no month, no season, and no year: the Festival of Yearโ€™s End.

โ€œThe first day, the Day of Doors, is wreathed in superstition. Seen as a delicate moment for the fortunes of the coming year, the day is spent indoors, wearing plain black clothes, speaking as little as possible, and performing rites to renew the threshholds of the home.

โ€œThe Day of Roads is a proper celebration, an all-day dance in the streets which ends with a feast. Brightly colored outfits are traditional, and some people spend months preparing their ensemble.

โ€œFinally, the Day of Gates is held as an important time of spiritual observance, during which participants in pure white garb leave their settlements to give offerings and perform ceremonies at nearby places of power in order to maintain good standing with local spirits and deities.โ€

An illustration depicting various whispy silhouettes dancing in circles with their arms connected into rings; one with two figures, another with three, and a third with over a dozen. Beside them, under the heading โ€œSHADOW CIRCUS,โ€ is the following text:

โ€œA shadow circus is a convocation of minor dark spirits that coincide with mass disappearances in isolated locations. The number of shadows is never precisely equal to the number of vanished souls.

โ€œThe circus moves like a diaphonous ribbon buffeted by winds undetectable to mortal senses. The shades themselves whisper dissonant melodies as they revolve about the center of their ring.

โ€œEach shadow is slightly unique; some are animated by the dance, even manically so, while others seem dragged along as if dazed or comatose.

โ€œShould you be surrounded, shedding 
tears of sorrow will abjure a shadow 
circus. Never attempt to cross the 
ring in either direction, lest your
own shadow should join the rollick
and leave you bereft.

โ€œA circus is destroyed when every 
dancer is illuminated at the same 
time; otherwise, they simply
reappear when returned to shade.โ€

Honestly this is the whole thing. While there are some professional bigots who will never change, I truly think a ton of everyday people who have been brainwashed by the hate campaign against trans folks would stop after meeting and learning from real trans folks. That's why they wanna silence us.
