Name: Hope is the Thing With Feathers
Story: Starfall
Colors: Dark Scarlet #9 (Threads of silk and gold); Vert #1 (Hope)
Supplies and Styles: Canvas + Graffiti (January Canvas & Frames Challenge) + Photography + Panorama + Giftwrap
Word Count: 421
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Notes: c.000s-020s, probably somewhere in the Eister Ranges in Emoyra or High Eisterland. Hylia, and her legend. Includes some Old Calendar name lists and the current general Emoyran month names. (Hylia was mentioned very obliquely in the piece where Viyony tells Leion that most cities still have Birdmasters with Hylian messenger birds.) Giftwrap, because while not strictly a gift as such, two of my friends who have been kind enough to read these pieces love birds, so [personal profile] persiflage_1 and [personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea, I hope you'll like this bird-related snippet of legend!
Summary: The legend of Hylia and the calendar, taken from The History of Eisterland (written in the 5th C by Seso Bialdis; this version from the 13th C Emoyran translation, pub. 1286.)

Name: Questions & Answers
Story: Starfall
Colors: Azul #29 (pledge); Vert #15 (Code of honor); Beet red #5 (Made to be broken)
Supplies and Styles: Canvas + Seed Beads + Graffiti (for the current January Canvas/Frame challenge) + Novelty Beads (from April 2024 Food Challenge http://media.tumblr.com/c2596a1ec4e793b7c2ac0c6cdb39b505/tumblr_inline_mn9uq1j8AY1qz4rgp.gif)
Word Count: 1968
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Notes: 1312 North Eastern District; Marran Delver, Telo Torwell, Karr Delver, Sharrander Colwell, and some unfortunate Town Justice who has to deal with this. (Seed beads because of the Karr POV, who is a minor character that I don't think I've actually written before. I haven't gone back to Marran and some of the others in the Starfall 1330s setting for a while, so: this is part of Governor Delver's "ran away and stole a farm" backstory, following soonish after the ending of Learned By Heart, in the year before he runs into Viyony and Leion while in Portcallan.)

N.B. Many northern surnames work differently to elsewhere in Emoyra - so Sharrander Colwell and Ianna Torrin are Telo's parents, the family (and therefore Telo) are known as Torwell (Torrin + Colwell), but her parents as individuals retain their original last names, and that's why both Torwell and Colwell are used here.)
Summary: Marran is in over his head, and it's up to his brother Karr to try and make the best of the situation. Karr's not sure he wants to.
