➛ Sero would have the Sphere of Illumination and take great joy in duping others with clever illusions and tricks. ➛ Cenric would have the Sphere of Preservation and excel in protective magic such as barriers and shields. #wayfarerif #interactivefictiongame

If the Wayfarer masters or Aeran were born with magic, what sphere would they have?

It is part of the archivist’s responsibilities to keep up-to-date records of the Order’s arsenal. Every weapon is catalogued with a description and a list of its current and former names, along with a history of its wielders.

Question: How does the Wayfarer Order keep track of alassar weapons?

local old man wants your alassar 👓 (sabien does not have glasses canonically, but if he did... 😏) #wayfarerif #interactivefiction #interactivenovel #indiegame #indiedev #fantasy #art #digitalart

Three busts of Sabien Quirinus, a blonde elf with a beard of about 120 years who just happens to be the Grand Archsage of the Guild of Mages and the most annoying man in Rhesainia. Each bust has a different pair of (non-canonical) spectacles.

HAPPY WAYFARER DAY! ⚔️✨ (Or 6+1 Day—that mysterious six and one that haunts the narrative, if you know you know! 😉) If you're looking for an epic text-based #fantasyrpg, now is a great time to check out #wayfarerIF! #interactivefiction #indiegame #indiedev

A half-melusine Wayfarer strides out of the burning wreckage of Rona's town square, alassar sword in hand. Their blade's edge is coated with blood and their purple hair fans out behind them, vanishing into the flames. Behind them, the town burns, embers flying into the sky.

Disclaimer: the Wayfarer depicted here is one possible version of the player character. This is not a canon appearance and it should not be read as the default.

The twelfth and thirteen months of the Rhesainian calendar are Guardian and Sunreach. They form the end of the calendar year and the bridge between spring and summer. 🪴🌻⛅ #wayfarerif #wayfarergame #interactivefiction #interactivenovel #interactivefictiongame #indiegame #indiedev

Rhesainian Calendar: Vernal, the Season of Lyrana

GUARDIAN and SUNREACH are the Vernal months. As the year comes to a close, Rhesainia bursts into full bloom. This is a season celebrating life, good fortune, and the storms that have been weathered. Music and flower festivals are common, particularly in rural areas. Sunreach is regularly the sunniest month, and the last day of the year is considered a day for family and private reflection.

Heralding the god LYRANA, the season is associated with the element of water and the SPHERE OF PRESERVATION. Partners seeking to marry during these months may present each other with rings, earrings, or pendants set with sapphires representing the god.
