#DecemberWorldbuilders 1: Snippet: "taught" or "teaching" etc. This bit is from THE SECOND STONE, Book 3, which has a lot of teaching/learning about science and gods and how the two are connected--because they are. As Hans gets schooled here by Dorilian, who knows... a few things. #epicfantasy

#NovemberWorldbuilders 21: Any morals different from Earth's societies? When it comes to humans, Earth covers just about every possible moral norm or deviance. 🤷‍♀️ In Ardaen both women and men can have as many husbands/wives as they can support. They're a fun lot.
