...Burning-Mother, Father-Night, Green-Mother, Father-Hunter, the World-Soul, and a pantheon of animal-totems, angels, graces, and muses.

The #Lashunta have no qualms about depicting gods looking like themselves, though with added features that would fit in among the ancient Indians or Greeks.

Deific Anthropomorphization - or Lashunta-morphization is an interesting thing. Lashunta gods are largely deist or spiritual forces in essence...

...Valmaeana, standing at the closest proximity to the Colonies, and populated by descendants of Lost Valmaea, stands at the forefront of the Western Asana Alliance against the Formians, and even dreams of reconquering the Colonies, and exterminating the Formians in the process.

...The ongoing war with the Formians has demanded constant construction of forts and watchtowers all along the coastline, focused on the southeastern region of Asana called Valmaeana - 'New Valmaea', after the lost #Lashunta city that once ruled the Colonies' shores...

The distinction between surface & depth is a lie told by people who never owned a really good pair of boots.

Lashunta Word of the Week
Mauzuroeo (/mɔːzu.rΙ”.e:o./l neuter): honor-feather; individual military merit award

This is a military honor granted for individual bravery or prowess in battle, as opposed to a ~tamauzuroeo~  - honor-fan, which is a meritorious combat award for a military unit. The distinction’s origins lie in legends from the ancient Age of the Warrior-Queens, when a queen would show favor to a warrior by plucking a golden feather from her crown and giving it as a token. Lashunta queen crowns were traditionally made out of gold and jewels to resemble a headdress of phoenix-fowl feathers (lashunta historians speculate that during the prehistoric Age of Legends, tribal queens wore crown headdresses of actual feathers). The recipient may receive a cast golden feather, which they may wear as a badge.
This word occurred in last week’s Chapter 30, in which Lady Vaeol recommended to Master-Captain Dosuaesh that her flagmates Kaure, Erymi, and Oshis should receive honor-feathers for their deeds at the Battle of Saeoel’s Mound, in which they led the right-flank charge that broke the banethings and led to their defeat.
Another related word is ~Mauzuano~ - five feathers. This is the highest military award given by the city of Qabarat, typically for an outstanding act of heroism involving saving the army or the city…and more often than not requiring the sacrifice of one’s life. The word’s origin implies a system of graded awards, based on the number of feathers included.

next wip I intend to tackle >:) unfinished Penelope from last year

pertaining to the previous convo, this one was done with a ref as you can tell from the decent foreshortening on the arm + the visible torso bit where the boob connects to the arm that I NEVER would've know to do from imagination
