I need a list of images--drawn, photos, etc.--to work in more thorough descriptions of the characters.

Bonus, Laban and Rayina! These are my perceptions though, based on my reinterpretation for the book. I wanted Kosonians to have more of a Mediterranean look, so I went with (young) Alexander Siddig (Dr. Bashir from DS9, Doran Martell in GoT) as a base for Laban. http://gallery.aserra-rpg.com/albums/...

Ialin placed herself between Thalia and the stranger. “Fine! Fine! Please, don’t hurt her!” Ialin pleaded. The man’s blade moved back perceptibly. “Is there someone that you’re looking for?” Ialin edged closer to Lianora and her captor slowly. “No questions, just take me to them.” “Well, sir, if I k...

If anyone wants to suggest other ideas to add into it, go for it

New creation myth ideas--need to write these down inbetween reading history text book passages Orran'sulani, god of the sun Nydoini, goddess of the moon (main moon Lirya i think I called it?) barren stone of Aserra laid between them, and with each child they brought forth into the world, they brough...

Our gallery has the option of using a custom watermark, so if someone could make a transparent image file we could use for that, I would appreciate it. It could be a logo or just © World of Aserra or something.

I'd like to get an image that might appeal more to the male forum members, rather than using effeminate ol' Zharis. :P A character with a color scheme that would go good against the light blue background would be best, possibly Naclia, or another character. This will require a new character portrait...

So, Meg made us a wonderful new map, but it's still a bit rough and will need more tweaking as I progress in world building. I would also like to do maps of individual nations and regions for more specific details. Megannnnnnnn I need you!

/summons a muse of art to inspire meg to art again

Wait... who is my art muse for Aserra? Lyrasa. Yeah, get her made-up muse!

Snake year bad D:
Maybe... XD

Anyway, I'm commissioning a friend of mine to do character images for Dollmaster, and after that I may give her the voyage to Ertia group. Lauren and i might work something out for the students. Lots to do! You and i need to get the maps done too.

If I throw money at you, will you make us art again? :B

I need a reliable email from everyone that I can contact. PM me your main contact email (this thread can be viewed by the public & bots, so don't post it here). If the email you use for your account is your main contact address, you don't need to do anything.

A note for Dra'nafod... they should have a high resistance to plant based toxins. Any toxin derived from their bonded tree would have no affect on them. Mixed Dra'nafod descendants would have a higher resistance than pure humans, but not as strong as pure dra'nafod.

Something cool I found on tumblr. :3

I picked that up pretty easily in Shannara, I think. I don't intend to ever make that clear, just sort of hinted at.

This might just become my new perception for Nydoini, sans tattoo. :O

It gives some good perspective on what damage Cael has done to his soul thus far too.

My bad, I was wrong above. Rory's concept for soul burning actually does permanently damage the soul. Other forms of soul-energy based magic just channel spiritual power, but soul burning basically burns up parts of the soul itself, and "cauterizes" the wound so the soul can't regenerate.

I didn't want to use actual werewolves originally, but I think they could be an option. They will be the result of a curse, not a race. It'll follow some of the typical werewolf myths--victims of the curse shift under the full moon (Nirya in this case) and turn into a bloodthirsty monster. Anyone bi...
