I cannot overstate how delighted I am to finally get my hands on my copy of #FensGuide to Myriad Realms. It feels surreal to have my name in a published TTRPG book. @skaavart.bsky.social was such an amazing person to work with through the entire process. #TTRPG #DnD #5e

#Lexember Day 31: relating to the new year G'sunan kɘ̊hɤ̊ga, (n.) (meteorological) solstice, (from Aqolo: o̊lạaho̊e̊yuu’ii, astrological solstice) From Aqolo to G'suna, the intricacies of stars and weather got a but lost. Thus, the new year starts the hottest day of the year. Happy New Year!

#Lexember Day 30: a role in society G'sunan n̰ɑ̰gɤ̇m, (n.P) a headman or chief (lit. "great father") A relatively recent development in G'sunan culture, increasing need to centralize power with poachers encroaching on the jungle.

#Lexember Day 29: a formal greeting n̰ɑ̰rɤ̰m̰, (v.t.) a heatbutt with praise G'suna would greet another fondly with a mutual headbutt :)

Thumbnail I did after some sky tutorials. I'm trying to do a narrative lighting thing for Dyos, where all figures and places associated with the light sun are in light, and all associated with the dark sun are in shadow.

Mountain landscape showing a lone, wide mountain with a bowl-shaped building at the top over a blue cloudless sky. Sunlight lights the upper third of the mounain, while the rest is in shade.

#Lexember Day 28: a ceremonial/cultural clothing/symbol ɹakŋ̰ȧk, (n.) a fang-mane, esp worn by a leader (from "tooth-garment) A biped's equivalent would be a headress, G'sunan predator leaders, e.g. lions, wear fangs of their forbears in their manes as a symbol of their leadership

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

#Lexember Day 27: a cultural/societal value G'sunan ʢzɤm̥tkɘ̊ʜ, (adj) integrious, loyal to one's word (from temkeh "stands true")

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

#Lexember Day 26: an astronomical event G'sunan gạʜ ŋ̥ɘŋ, a lunar occultation From, gạʜ, a predator's chase, and ŋ̥ɘŋ, a moon (Dyos has 9 moons!). So a moon preying upon another moon and covering it in the sky.

Glyph for today's G'sunan word: along a line, a narrow loop, a small line diacritic below the line marking low tone, and above the line an m-like glyph. Then a glyph with two ellipses below a line.

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

#Lexember Day 25 (Happy Lexmas!): a weather condition G'sunan r̰ɑl, (v.i) to rain r̰ɑl z̰ɑɹ rain jungle/world the world is raining "It's raining" G'sunan view their place of origin in the Jungle-in-Shards as the origin of the world, so it's used as an impersonal, omnipresent kind of animacy.

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

#Lexember Day 24 (Happy Christmas Eve!): a biome or landscape G'sunan hɤ̣ʢɤl, (n.) a coast or beach (from Aqolo ụ'u, the sea just below the surface) hɤ̣ʢɤl are very important places of exchange for the G'sunan, beasts of land, and Aqolo, seafolk.

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

#Lexember Day 23: an oceanic landform Aqolo e̊hụle̊he (nat.trench), an ocean trench. And a glyph drawn in very wet clay, could use some work to look a bit more natural.

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

#Lexember Day 22: a terrestrial land feature m̰ɹɘ̰k, (n.) mountain, wide tower (From “sky tooth”) G'suna view earthen forts as continuous with the earth, but a brick or rock fort would need a different word.

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

#Lexember Day 21: something you'd give as a gift nɑ̇zdạn, (n.) corpse of a recent kill, esp. given as a gift Y'know, like a cat would do 😂

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

#Lexember Day 20: a term of endearment mɘ̣hŋ̥ɑk, (n.) watcher, or worry wort Used to describe a G'sunan who's job it is to watch, but more often for a worrying person who's always watching for danger.

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

#Lexember Day 19: a way of caring m̰ɘl, to groom (another) G'suna, again sentient mammals, would use m̰ɘl for typical animal grooming but would also use it to refer to bathing another in a bath, etc.

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

#Lexember Day 18: a way of learning ɾɤlmɘ̣h, to learn by watching a demonstration (Lit. "to show watch") ɾɤlmɘ̣h ɹaɰ d̰ɘ̇s gɤ̇m The cubs watched the lion demonstrate

150

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

#Lexember Day 17: an act of trickery z̰aɹ̰tɑ̇n̰, (noun) camouflage, esp to hide from predators (Lit. "mud head") The G'sunan have a ritual of chase and capture of prey, so it's deceptive to avoid predators by using camouflage, though z̰aɹ̰tɑ̇n̰ is more like a ghillie suit than paint.

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

#Lexember Day 16: a means of execution! kha (t)ex khom, to execute by group breath weapon (Lit. "to breath disintegrate gather") Back to Wyrm today for this rather grim prompt. The highest ranking and their most trusted dragon lords may subject a victim to multiple, simultaneous breath weapons!

Cuneiform like glyph for "to execute by breath weapon" in Wyrm

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

#Lexember Day 15: a means of transportation ɹ̰ɘ̇g̰, (verb, transitive) to mount, ride, stand-atop ɹ̰ɘ̇g̰ rɑ̣ʢ sȧl̰ mȧh ride [agentive] mouse lion "(the) mouse rides (the) lion" G'sunan assumes nouns of the predator class are agents, of the prey class patient, so rɑ̣ʢ marks the mouse as the agent!

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

#Lexember Day 14: a means of construction zɑ̇kdạn, a dug-out den or cave, esp. dug by hand. (Lit. "to/a dig-nest) Still trying to figure out the adverb/adjective plan.

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

#Lexember Day 13: an animal sense or sense organ ɹ̰ɘɾlar, to smell another's scent mark (e.g. a dog's) (Lit. "to nose-sense") A proto-g'sunan word not likely to last long without ranging that middle ɾ/

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

#Lexember Day 12: word for flight-related anatomy ŋ̰ɘg, a whisker or feather G'sunan speakers group any hard, sturdy hair-like things together: whiskers, wings, even prominent eyelashes would be called ŋ̰ɘg.

161

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

#Lexember Day 11: a specific kind of tooth d̰ɘ̇sɹak, a baby tooth (lit. "child fang/tooth) We don't pay enough attention to baby teeth!

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

#Lexember Day 10: an animal weapon (e.g. antler, horn) rạʕɘ̇s, a claw or claw-like thing from rạʕ (to claw) with attributive(izer) d̰ɘ̇s. Time to invent adjectives it seems!

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

#Lexember Day 9: an insect body part ɰ̰ɘt, (noun) a stinger, such as on a bee or scorpion. Surely something sentient beasts run into regularly!

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

#Lexember Day 8: something to eat on gȧldạn, (noun) plate (lit. "fish cradle") Sure G'sunan are sentient beasts, but they're not barbarians! Derivation being "fish cradle" as land animals are deemed acceptable to eat on the ground, but fish should be held in something. Again, not barbarians ;)

150

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

#Lexember Day 6&7: eating instrument, drinking instrument dȧntɑ̇n̰, (noun) a bowl, esp one made of a skull (lit. "head cradle") G'sunan have a very practical approach to remains 😅 And yeah I'm double dipping here.

150

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

#Lexember Day 5: cooking instrument kho pak, (noun) cooking rock (lit. "(fire) breath rock") xotohile han kho pak "(they cook the) manticore on the cooking rock" Fire dragons find pots and pans superfluous, and simply heat rocks with their breaths rather than heat over a unnecessary fire.

140

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

#Lexember Day 4: something that adds flavour kạɹ̰, (noun, inanimate, predator) salt, saltwater Back to G'sunan for today 🧂

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

#Lexember Day 3: a particular dish Yis oaker, (noun) "black giant", a dish of giant meat roasted in black dragon acid. Moving over to my Wyrm language for this one! Leaning into the classic dragon vs giant rivalry, lazily.

A glyph of clawed cuneiform for yis oaker.

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

#Lexember Day 2: way of making food ɡȧɹɹ̰ɤ̰̇ŋ̥, (verb transitive) to boil, esp in broth Lit. "to break open (in) blood" Still a proto-form, but it'll probably end up something like ɡɹ̰ɤ̰̇ŋ̥.

130

DesViper | J.A. Iris @mindseye.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

#Lexember Day 1: preparing food nɑ̇z, (verb transitive) to bite and swallow, esp a recent kill G'sunan is a language of a jungle of beasts. So, the predators among them maintain a practice of hunting and eating the prey among them. A bit of a cheat 😅 since it's a way of *not* preparing food.

Oops forgot to post again 😅 Here's a sketch-map of the first encounter in the Dyos campaign: the cult of the sun's chariot processes through the market avenue, passing through a temple (where offerings are lain), ending with them throwing themselves into the sea as the sun does (into a net)!

Sketch style map featuring a circular temple at the end of a street. A few merchant stalls line the avenue. North of the temple is a steep cliff over the ocean, with a small net hanging off the cliff.

As a person who will do math in her head to avoid the time lag of having to dig out my phone and open the calculator app and punch numbers in, I have come to realize I’m not the market for genAI simply because I would rather use my brain than open an app if given the choice.
