Detailed map of Pridaxus

[apho-sappho]

Ill have you know these are all Alix. SO, out of your favorite characters which Pridaxus nation do you think theyd vibe the most in

HIIIIIIII Hmmmm lets see

Qi Rong - Amphinis,,,, I think he'd immediately get arrested in Idealps, would be bored as hell in Glimmerier, and start yelling at Eerikki in Elvenwick

Lan Wangji - Idealps!!!!!! Smart scholar man!!! Arranged marriage au where he's betrothed at a young age to Wei Wuxian and meets him later

He Xuan - Honestly Amphinis. For one the whole water thing and 2 the exports since He Xuan came from a mercantile family, so I think they'd make a lot of money both selling stuff to other nations and getting stuff from the nations

Shi Qingxuan - Realizing all of these are Amphinis but yeah her too!!! I just hit myself in the head on accident with a frozen water bottle BUT . The gender laws but I do think that Shi Wudu would move to Idealps eventually if he can make his way through the . Isolationists thing and become a student

[books-and-cookies]

Hi hello cookies! I’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response to my offer to recommend some bookish stores that sell book related merchandise, so here I am with a masterpost. I’m listing the shops by region and I’m adding discount codes to a couple of them, but bear in mind that most of these shops have reps on instagram, that have discount codes you can use (these codes usually give a discount between 5% and 15%).

It’s been a looooong while since I entered a rep search but I’m so in love with @elvenwick’s products that I can’t miss this opportunity. #elvenwickrepsearch 🥺 Hi Samantha, I’m Nicole living in the narrow but long country of Norway. I always thought I’m never a fan of art prints and the likes but it was only that they weren’t the right designs - I would like to deck my room out with yours and proudly tell everyone where they are from. I’m not good at selling myself but I hope what you see can convince you that I would be a good rep for your company and I’ll be lucky enough to get chosen. 😄 Thank you so much for this opportunity and I wish luck to all the other participants. 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dRNEyAB1f/?igshid=10o08bd7v43na

Some various fauna in Pridaxus

Prince Bodvar and his mistress Signe Kolbeck in 957. This painting was commissioned by the prince who was more than happy about the birth of his first son in the previous year.

Has there ever been a King of Glimmerier? Or a Queen of Elvenwick

There has never been a King of Glimmerier. The closest thing was that the current queen Asteria descends from a son of a queen, which has never happened before.

There hasn’t been a Queen of Elvenwick (because the title queen doesnt exist there). But there has a woman in charge. In fact the current ruler or Elvenwick is a woman

How is climate and temperature in Pridaxus?

This varies by country to country but this is about the gist

Ignore that there is no science to it pretend like there is (closer to the center and more north tends to be warmer than the south and further from the center)

Glimmerier

Your typical 4 seasons, very hot summers and winters where its cold enough to snow. During Spring and fall its like 70F/21C.

Elvenwick

There is no really summer or spring or winter, it can snow @ any point if the year, plants dont really like bloom or anything. The months when its supposed to be summer dont exceed 50F/10C, winters can be as cold as -40F/-40C. The sun doesn’t shine there often, mostly rain or snow

Amphinis

There really isnt a winter or spring, its vert hot all year round (some of the eastern islands can have a little snow). Typically in the eastern islands the temperatures do not drop below 70F/21C. Some places it rains but is usually very sunny and dry

Idealps

There isnt really a summer or spring, especially for those on the mountains. Typically the temperature goes between 0F/-17C and 70F/21C. Some places are in near constant snow some in constant rain, most places shift between

An (semi) incomplete list of the humanoid species of Pridaxus

Quick disclaimer

I am always looking to add more to this list, in fact I have some ideas but these are the ones so far with official designs and traits.

Humans

The most common species in Pridaxus. I wont give too much of a physical description of humans because more than likely if you can read this you are one. They are the only species of Pridaxus to be found on all landmasses without migration.

Satyrs

Predominately found in Glimmerier

-can be based on any hoofed mammal, must have legs based on this mammal (bipedal)

-can have any traits similar to the hoofed mammal they are based on (EXCEPT UDDERS), but as long as they have their legs+hooves that’s good

Centaurs

Predominately found in Glimmerier

-can be based on any hoofed mammal, must have legs based on this mammal (quadrupedal)

-can have any traits similar to the hoofed mammal they are based on (EXCEPT UDDERS), but as long as they have their legs+hooves that’s good

Orcs

Predominately found in Glimmerier

-they tend to have tough gray skin, no external ears (only ear holes), dark scleras,

-can have tusks and skin cracks, as well as they can be very tall, most not being shorter than 6ft

Lycanthropes

Predominately found in Glimmerier

-they can take on either a fully anthro/animalistic appearance or a fully human appearance. Some have a genealogical mutation where they retain some animal like features even in their more human form

-can turn others into lycanthropes as well and have a weakness to silver

-can be based on any flightless mammal

Elves

Predominately found in Elvenwick

-their only unique physical trait is having pointy ears

Dwarves

Predominately found in Elvenwick

-they have a very short stature, most arent taller than 4 ft

-many of their features are rounder, including their very large round ears

-regardless of sex all dwarves can grow beards, and culturally amongst dwarves it is acceptable and encouraged to keep your beard

Fairies

Predominately found in Elvenwick

-similarly to elves they have pointed ears

-they have wings resembling butterflies (and only butterflies)

-full fairies have antennas

Merpeople

Predominately found in Amphinis

-similarly to lycanthrope they can swap between bipedal and with merfolk traits (ie tails, fills, fins, etc)

-they can only be based on fish rather than aquatic mammals

Vampires

Predominately found in Idealps

-have the vampire fangs

-can have pointy if they were born a vampire, and red eyes if they became a vampire while still young

-a bite can transform one into a vampire and they can have pale/ashen skin

-regular food has no nutritional value to full vampires/ vampires who have been such since childhood

-not all vampires have an appetite for blood, depending on the individual they can feast on blood, flesh, emotion, magic, dreams, or life energy

Avians

Predominately found in Idealps

-can be based on any flying bird

-all avians have wings, talons and hollow bones

-some might have more feathers and beaks

Nymphs

-similar to Merpeople but can not switch forms

-can be based on any currently existing sea creature (ik Im going to regret this), but doesnt have to they can just be fish in general

-must have the 3 point ears but can have gils tails etc

Sirens

-they are a subspecies of nymphs but similarly to vampires, regular food has no nutritional value to them. They can feast on blood, flesh, emotion, magic, dreams, or life energy

-Built in enchanting/charming bardic magic

Dryads

-can transform into trees (immobile while they are trees) any type. Their tree form is only slightly larger than their human height

-any damage done in their tree form leads to scars/ injuries in their human appearance

-herbivores

Volcans

-they tend to have tough dark skin, like volcano ash, and little lava like cracks on their skin. They also have dark scleras.

-they are a sub type of dwarf and share their short height

-they are born exclusively in mines or on volcanic islands, and tend to live exclusively Elvenwick or Amphinis

What is the extent of technology in current day pridaxus

Id say technology wise it’s *mostly* about 1700s/ early 1800s. Notably there arent cameras, telephones, lightbulbs etc. I am thinking that trains and mass powered factories from the Industrialization Era are starting to sprout up in Idealps and Elvenwick, but in general I think Pridaxus is set in that time period in terms of technological advancements.

There are some things that magic makes up for in the lack of technology, and there are some technological things that exist in the modern day but yeah!!
