20. What sorts of weapons & armor are used in your world? Metal plate armor is most common, but how much it covers the body tends to vary. Weapons tend to be bladed or piercing - swords, daggers, lances, axes, arrows. This does not stop the occasional hammer or ballista user. And of course...

19. How are wars fought in your world? Massive armies, typically multispecies, clash on big battlefields, with carnage everywhere. Drafting is common in more corrupt nations, and many have died in defense of things they do not stand for. The good news is that Klidi has existed in relative peace...

18. What is clothing and fashion like in your world? The clothing corresponds to what I mentioned about the history - mostly like the middle ages of the Earths, with some forward and backward anachronism. Upper class trends fancy coats, dresses, cloaks and robes, while lower class trends...

17. What’s medicine and healthcare like in your world? Healing magic is the main form of "medicine" in Klidi. Other forms of medical care exist just in case but they are a fallback, not the first solution. Most citizens know how to cure cuts and bruises on their own, and healing magic is...

16. What magic exists in your world? Magic is omnipresent. Everywhere. And anyone can use it. Sure, some beings are better at certain kinds of magic than others, and some beings have particular forms of magic built into their biology, but any sapient creature can harness and control it. It is...

15. What technology is used in your world? On a scale of high to low tech, Klidi leans fairly low. The exact Earths history level is hard to peg but it trends middle ages, with some forward and background anachronism on a small scale. As I said before, it has stayed this way for a long time...

13. What flora covers your world? Again a mix of the mundane and fantastical. Many plants are used for healing and remedies not possible on most Earths, and a mix of plant-based medicine and magic is often used for transitioning. There are rumors of giant, vicious carnivorous plants in some...

12. What fauna inhabit your world? It is half divided between life one would find on an "Earth" and more fantastical creatures, leading to higher biodiversity overall. One of the more fantastical ones are basilisks, strange chicken-like dromaeosaurs with hypnotic eyes and venomous spit that...

11. What’s language like in your world? While one would expect language to correlate with species, it actually tends to be more by nation, as those have laws that can enforce one language or another. Languages of the nearest areas are typically taught by parents to children, as well as where...

10. What traditions are observed in your world? Hmmmm, let's zero in on one in particular, shall we? The Great Fire Dragon Hoard Fest is an event that takes place once a year in the northeastern side of Klidi. Hoards are symbols of social status to fire dragons, and every year many of them...

9. What religion and cosmology exists in your world? The people of Klidi worship various gods as protectors, guides, and helpers. While these gods often resemble one particular species or another, the religions that sprout around them often are practiced by multiple species, and the gods are...

7. How does the economy work in your world? There is currency, but it is hardly universal, and varies wildly from nation to nation, continent to continent. Most citizens carry multiple kinds of currency, just in case, and exchange rates are memorized from a young age. All of this is less of an...

6. How does gender & sexuality work in your world? The way people on Klidi express the concept of gender and sexuality in various ways, and it varies wildly. How their society reacts, however, differs. Most are open, with many feeling free to express themselves, but some are individually phobic...

Me, seeing I Doomguy ripped and teared into the fic of Farla herself and missed its point entirely: But this was like, really fun? I have wanted to judge a contest for a long time and it was an honor to do so and reading and reviewing everyone's fics was a blast and aaaaaaaaaaaaa I wanna do...

4. What’s its history? (How did it come to be?) Once, there were two voids, a light one and a dark one, sitting side by side in limbo. Two women of indeterminate species, two embodiments of the voids emerged into being, met in the middle, and fell in love. Their love caused them to merge into...

3. Who lives in your world? The diversity of sapient species living on Klidi is astounding. They come in all shapes and sizes, forms and functions, some very familiar and others very not. It gives me great sadness to do so, but I had to narrow down which I covered here. (No really. I uh, have...

2. What’s the Geography of your world? I am the World Wanderer. One world I take great joy in visiting time and time again is the one known as Klidi, so called for an ancient word meaning "home." Its scattered continents belie lush, bountiful biomes full of life, both familiar and unfamiliar...

Episode 1 Heyo! I'll just recap what I said in the "trailer": The Iggyverse is a high fantasy setting designed for my dragon protagonist (or prodragonist) Iggy and his companions. It's a fairly typical high fantasy setting because I like it better that way and can make jokes about it, but I'm...

Hey! This was a short thing I wrote for the Kith and Kin zine! It's technically a spinoff of my fic Rude Awakening but due to the nature of zines is it's own self-contained thing. Also! The lovely Mythicat did some wonderful art to go with this! Go check it out! The Goddess' Child Naga sat...
