ARCADIA RISING: DEAD WOMEN TELL NO TALES

Rating: M

Summary:

Two thousand years after the Mass Exodus, it is up for hot debate among the scholars and historians in the academic institutions of the City States whether all the Imperial Houses survived. For the person who can prove their location, honor and glory shall be their prize.

Necromancy is on the wane. Harrowhark Nonagesimus theorizes that there are missing pieces of the puzzle out there to be found. When a fellow scholar, Palamedes over hears a rumor about strange occurrences out in the Yurridian Desert, the opportunity to investigate is too good to pass up.

In the bustling port town of Capri, a rumor like that never stays contained for very long, and soon they find themselves in a race of horse and hounds with the Tridentarii to lay claim to what ever might be hidden beneath the grey sands of the Ash Scattered Dunes.

Only problem, they are forced to rely upon a rough neck cav cropper with a personality problem and biceps that ought to be illegal.

[suzannahnatters]

Thank you so much for opening this up and for the list, Suzannah! :) Below are my asks~~

5. What is your ultimate favourite book?

11. Favourite authors? (Feel free to include/emphasize the underrated/non pop ones ;)

31. Is there a particular album/movie/TV show that really matched the vibes of a book you read? Which ones?

39. Favourite book to movie/TV show adaptation? (feel free to throw in a few - old+new are appreciated ;)

42. If you could change the ending of any one book, which book would you pick and why?

58. A book that emotionally wrecked you?

Thank you so much!

5. My favourite book of all time is The Lord of the Rings. Not a single misplaced word. The greatest artistic achievement of the 20th century, bar none. Demonstrates magnificent command of narrative, spectacular use of language, majestic thematic resonance, unforgettable settings and characters, impeccable grasp of military strategy and tactics, and an ending so poignant in its bittersweet emotion that it lifts an already brilliant book into the pantheon of great classics.

It may surprise you to learn that this is my favourite book because I've never even attempted to write anything remotely like it, but this is simply me recognising that I'd be an utter loon to try.

11. Favourite authors? I have so many! Among the dead my faves are JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, and Edmund Spenser. The most obscure author I'm really abnormal about is Spenser, whose Faerie Queene is a magnificent epic of knights, monsters, virtues, vices, and the coolest ladies you will ever meet (Britomart, my love!!!). My favourite author of nonfiction is William Dalrymple who writes about travel and history mostly in Asia and is always worthwhile. 31. I'm having a lot of trouble with this one, so I'm going to flail out wildly and say that the album "Arcadia" by Eurielle is, from memory, a really close vibe match with Elizabeth von Armin's The Enchanted April, which is totally a book you should all read - peaceful, sunshiny, nostalgic.

39. Right now my favourite book-to-screen adaptation is Dune - Villeneuve's two movies are a brilliant adaptation job that capture what makes the book great and then improve on it in some key ways. Other noteworthy adaptations include The Princess Bride for a note-perfect adaptation of an already enormously fun book and Crazy Rich Asians which is SO much better than the book it's hard to believe.

42. Ooh! There are two books I absolutely adore, but the endings really disappointed me. Anthony Trollope's Can You Forgive Her? is one of my favourites of his, but I will always be disappointed that Alice ends up with John Grey - he starts out by disrespecting and gaslighting her, and while they eventually patch things up at the end, I never felt that he had really learned his lesson or would treat Alice any better in the future, and given that the book is over 300,000 words long I was super invested in Alice getting a good ending and I will never not be disappointed that she didn't. On the other hand, there's The Prisoner of Zenda in which the hero and heroine heroically relinquish their love for honour and this is why I can never write a good old-fashioned swashbuckler, even though I adore reading them, because deep down I don't believe that one should act like a turnip for the sake of honour, and you can't have a swashbuckler without that. 58. The most emotionally wrecked I've ever been by a book is Jennie by Paul Gallico. I was a BLUBBERING MESS but also mad about it to this day because I don't think he had the right to do that to anyone.

[nightlylaments]

find the word tag game

thank you, @darthenra, for the tag.

my words are: ancient, hell, mythical, and content.

ancient

I blinked. “Yes, it's an old myth.”. It was an ancient story of the old faith, a story about the end of Azurani. It was said that before the goddess died, she spoke into existence a child. A child that would tip the scales of the world. She would have the power to bring Kimena back into the light. She would be mated to darkness, A recreant that would help her enforce her control. She would be the end of the world or the start of a new order. The old faith spoke about the Darkening like it was a welcoming. The apostle meant the rebirth of Azurani back to the days when Kimena could be free.

hell

I hurriedly opened the door and closed it behind me, placing my back against it. “Arcadia?” Tyrus’s voice almost made me jump out of my skin. I looked up, meeting his and Ciphers worried gazes. Cipher took a look at me and leapt to his feet.

"We have to go," I breathed, voice straining and weak. "... they'll stop me-"

"Arcadia, what the hell happened?" Cipher asked, but didn't hesitate to pick up his bag and strap it to his back as Tyrus pulled on a cloak quickly. "did Sadad do this to you?" There was an edge to his voice I hadn't heard before.

mythical

I let my mind wander and distract itself so that I could calm down. I pictured the stories Karro used to tell me after Ma died. Stories about human-like robots in Benwe, the beautiful princesses in Rayland, and the mythical sand dragons that lived in the dunes of Owelken. My favorite had always been about the Vale Forest and its spirits. They were trapped there hundreds of years ago during the great war, torturing anyone who entered the forest. People that went in often didnt come out. At least, that’s how the story goes.

content

I hold my blade to the moon, watching the scarlet blood contrast against pure white ivory. My father had it made for me a few weeks after my first flight; now, killing was like a hobby. It was tradition, among the Zarazdi, in preparation for our first prey hunt. The metallic smell lingered in the air, causing me to take a content, deep breath. Death was like an old friend, and I had gifted many to her.

Dune indurite in Arcadia Planitia

Dune indurite in Arcadia Planitia

HiRISE, con la sua alta risoluzione e i suoi 8 anni di orbita intorno a Marte, ha mostrato che molte dune e increspature sul pianeta sono attive. Ciò dimostra che in alcune aree la sabbia è sufficientemente sfusa e i venti abbastanza forti da consentire cambiamenti significativi. Tuttavia, altre dune marziane sono chiaramente inattive.
