Also keep in mind that an adult Nyji is only 4 to 4.5 feet tall. The Nyji nation Felino is part of separates things by hunter (/ gatherer / warrior) and homemaker (/ farmer / crafter) instead of male and female.

Styles and Supplies: Canvas, Panorama, Novelty Beads (January Canvas/Frame challenge), Cartography, Portrait

Rating: T
Warnings: Implied violence, non-detailed description of serious injuries
Characters: Yesora, her family and contemporaries, Tyäqe, and Faiyule
In-Universe Date: Year -36 (before the Gift)
Summary: Priestesses from the future arrive with the Grammar of a new language, disrupting Yesora's religious practice and way of life.
Notes: Not the document on Github, this is a side-story about Yesora's Grammar, and the changes it made to religious practice, why the priesthood is all female, and where a number of the conventions that are present in Setsiana's day came from (as well as the origin of the word that's being translated as "priestess"). I wanted to wait to post this until after introducing the Egalitarian heresy, for I hope obvious reasons.

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.
