One more. This group is the most populous variety of troglodytes. A Neolithic civilization that cultivates strange subterranean plants/mushrooms, which is what gives them the distinct skin pigmentation. #art #worlbuilding

a bit of CA for a little friend-group worldbuilding project (Grimsunken). Dichotomous design elements between the cities of Roinesbarrow and Pajast, and a rough doodle of Pajast. #art #worldbuilding

Danai outfit doodles. Lore in alt text. #art #worldbuilding
The Danai are the oldest of the tribes and kingdoms of Lynamar. Located on the Great Ring's northern outer rim, where their ancient ancestors first crossed the Ice Road and settled the lands of the horned gods. Here, among red leaves and carved stones, the people are wild, and the waning memory of old breathes yet.

This realm is shielded from winter's breath by the hearth-fire of the Warrior-Mother. It is said that it was once as green and fertile as the southern lands. But over the eras, the Mother's flame has waned. Now, the old forest is withered and golden, never knowing summer or winter.

Banshees are a legendary death cult of women who dedicate themselves fully to the Mother's warrior-face. Whether defending their home or avenging its loss, they sweep through battlefields like a fierce whirlwind. Their ancient copper scythes, whistles, and boar-faced war-masks still faintly sing with an immortal's wrath. Hollow-mouthed tree-women often accompany them, awakened by the banshee's keening.

Doodled some Lynaic women. Quite happy with the style and vibe of these, conveys the whimsy and prehistory of the setting pretty well. #art #worldbuilding
The single exposed breast is a common motif in women's fashion across Lynamar, but especially so in the lands of the Danai. It stems from the myth of Baorsè, whose dwelling is said to be in the ever-autumn forest. She is Eine of fire and harvest, a gravid warrior-mother clad in half-armor.

In something of an art drought rn. Doodle of a dragon heart / phoenix egg. Lore in alt text #art #worldbuilding
Dragon heart / phoenix egg, a sort of artificial brain nested deep within the nethers of the earth, embedded into the machinery of the world and intertwined with the roots of memory, like a malignant tumor. This is how the Phoenix Emperor / Dragon of Man is able to persist through death and through kalpas.

The Dragon can be compared to the Avatar (incarnations with collective consciousness) and Shezarrine (god of mankind, with the heart/egg obv somewhat resembling the heart of Lorkhan)
Its purpose, designed by the people of a kalpa no one remains to remember, was to use cumulative knowledge/infinite attempts/focused mythopoeia to guide humanity into overcoming the cyclical nature of the world. It became the god of fire, progress, conquest and tyranny. Each cycle it kindles an Empire, and each time the Empire burns out and turns into ashes.

I imagine if this were like a game with lore entries and such, there would be a bunch of dream-diaries and autobiographies and things like that, authored by the different incarnations of the Dragon (writings only from the current cycle, but memories potentially from the previous ones).
There would also be an elder elniar (another immortal entity; they're sapphic satyr-sages originating from outside the firmament), which has a very long friend/mentor relationship with the Emperor. Could be a series of teachings about the two of them, with the Dragon as the fool and the elniar as the sage. Perhaps one where the avatar of the Dragon is struggling to connect with their divinity (memories/mythopoeia), and the sage cryptically tells them to "find your heart" or something, which gets misinterpreted 
most of them would be written in languages that no longer exist, warped and corrupted and mistranslated and destroyed and pieced together by generations of scribes

Oracle survivor concept for ROR2 She's a very methodical macro-oriented survivor. Her gimmick is revealing and rerolling hidden outcomes (namely chest contents), and closing time rifts. In combat, she blows up enemies with well-timed delayed burst combos. #art #riskofrain #ror2 #riskofrain2

A handful of armaments from different regions of Lynamar. #art #worldbuilding
Most tools and weapons in Mythopoeia are made of stone and organic materials. Copper is available, however it is rare and mostly reserved for tools such as axes, sickles and knives. Bronze is an expensive, treasured and recycled commodity.

Unlike Seelie units, which are grown for a specific purpose, the Darkspawn can use their armories to equip their units with specialized gear.

For example, goblins spawn as weak and unarmored (albeit mobile) shielded spear infantry, and can be upgraded to either pikemen or crossbowmen.

trying out a different art style direction for the fairy RTS thing I feel that a more gnarly/whimsical fairy tale illustration style (a la DiTerlizzi/Froud) would fit the mood and story of the game a lot better #art #worldbuilding #gamedev #rts

Some more Lynaic clothing. The green-red palette is a distinct cultural element of the northern Lynaics (especially the Amaroi civilization of the upper inner-ring). The Danai of the upper outer-ring additionally incorporate the whites, oranges and pinks of their autumn biome. #art #worldbuilding

Varahi girl #art #worldbuilding
I imagine them to generally look a little more tan than this, but I kinda suck at painting darker skin tones in this style (especially with lighter hair), so she's hwite. Not a huge deal tho, and fairly successful design otherwise

Oromean woman figure sketch Tried to capture the archaic human features/proportions. I think it turned out okay. Details in alt text. #art #worldbuilding
The humans of Orom tend to be of a shorter, sturdier build. They have evolved to be excellent rock climbers, with stronger upper body and elongated arms.

Note: although they're distantly inspired by fantasy dwarf tropes, they're not actually very short. Only about half to one head shorter than the average human of Mythopoeia, on average (and some may grow to be quite tall, just like anyone else).
Also, bear in mind that all humans of Mythopoeia are archaic, and thus usually have some of these traits to varying extent (more body hair, longer limbs, flaring ribcage, prominent brow ridge, elongated face with receding chin, generally a shorter and more muscular build). So there's not as much difference as you might think.

Varachian warrior doodle lore in alt text #art #worldbuilding
Varahi, also known as the men of wheat, is the collective name for the northern human tribes who settled within the great plains that stretch between the pale mountains of Orom and the singing forests of Lynamar. They are named after Varak, one of the (typically three) mythical founder-chieftains who once led the various polar tribes away from the frozen paradise.
The land of the Varahi is highly fertile, ripe for agriculture. The pink soil is nourished by the many rivers flowing from the mountains, giving life to flowering marshlands and endless fields of golden grass. Because of this, the region is central to the trade and warfare of the north. The lowland is poor in earth-riches (namely bronze), so the Varahi trade their grain, "gold of the plains", for the stone and metal of the Orome (whose lands are cold and barren). Otherwise, most of their objects are made of clay, wood, leather, or woven grass.

A couple more Orom portraits The first one is meant to be a lowland/eastern one. Farther away from the troll mountains, and more likely to mingle with the plain people of Varahi. Hence, less gray skin and lighter hair. #art #worldbuilding

More male Lynaics. Their society is largely matriarchal: women are considered to have a divine right to leadership, and hold most of the administrative power. Although men still have significant authority in matters such as conquest, hunting, artisanship. #art #worldbuilding
