the asian will be all same/similar time period like the other court right? so expecting old temples and stuff

Yes and no. It depends on what you define as "old", I guess: I took most of the stuff from Muang Boran Museum's official website (Thailand), and if I've understood it correctly, they're all fairly new reconstructions of things that have existed in the past. A good 90% of what I chose for the Dawn Court presentation has more than a thousand years, I think, but there are also buildings that, in comparison, were made yesterday (those in South Korea, if I recall correctly).

Overall, the point I wanted to make is that the Dawn Court, in my mind, has more vibrant colors than Day and prefers materials such as wood and brick, whereas Day tends more towards marble and stone.

All of this basically means that I went by vibes 😅

Amazing so the building research will be well done then if an architect is behind it, what's the thing that surprised you the most while researching?

There aren't many things that surprised me, to be honest; I already knew most of the stuff I used for the Day Court presentation, having studied/read about/visited them in the past, and I chose "standard" Asian stuff for the Dawn Court one. But it did strike me as weirdly coincidental that I'd already chosen the Nāga as the Dawn Court insignia and then I found out that they're related to water and medicine 🤣

Absolutely love the presentations, so much work put into them, did you get any help? Like from friends studying history or living in those places?

Thank you so much, you're too sweet! 🥰

Yes, I had some help, but mostly on the Dawn Court one. I would tag her, but she has deactivated her account; anyway, she is a reader of the stories I co-author with @zoyalannister and, we found out, also an architecture student. She gave me advice regarding the types of materials and architecture styles that are prominent throughout Asia.

The Day Court presentation, instead, is all mine, fueled by years of mandatory art history lessons in school and my own experience as an Italian and European citizen. So I guess I have to thank Italy as a whole 🤣

Introduction & The Nāga

This Power Point presentation is shorter, I swear.

Just as I did for the Day Court in Sol niger, I'm going to post the entire presentation one section per day, at 12:00 PM CEST, tagging each post as "Dawn Court Nucleosynthesis" so that, at the end, you can follow that tag to see the entire thing.

(The presentation for the Day Court is, of course, already posted in its entirety under the tag "Day Court Sol niger".)

Enjoy!

Day Four: Lover ♕ Nesta has had many opportunities for love across Prythian — who do you ship her with? Cassian? Emerie? Eris? Gwyn? Azriel? Cresseida? Any and all ships are welcome!

I don't think it's necessary to say it at this point, but I'm a Nessian girlie through and through.

So, allow me this self-indulgent and self-referential publicity, and let's all conveniently forget that I haven't updated this fic since last August.
