One change in the upcoming chapter is that we get a better glimpse at the world's religion and how the people practice it, which includes seeing "wolfsisters" / Wolftriune priestesses and priests in every route.

I wanted to try my hand at drawing how I imagine their robes; unfortunately, I am limited by my lack of skill in drawing clothes, so this is the most basic, simplified version a priest/priestess would wear (perhaps after just gaining her sisterhood). Priests will earn more stripes on their robes as they age and become more accomplished, and some will take to embroidering tokens along the sleeves and skirts as well. Followers of the Wolftriune always wear gold and blue - colors to represent the Wolfmother's children.

We will also see some novitiates in Lea's route, who wear plain grey robes with no stripes or any kind of adornment (except for their declaration cord) and with their hair pulled back in a long, simple braid.

Worldbuilding talk under the cut ☀️

Declaration ropes/braids/cords are also something new we'll see both in chapter 1 edits and in chapter 2. Essentially a very long, complex braided rope that is made as part of Adrania's coming of age ceremony, where the person declares their gender, name, and patron god.

This sister wears nothing but the plain leather cord for the Wolfmother, though it is common to see cords layered, especially for the Wolftriune. A wolf tail is attached at the end, as well as a bit of wheat on the right most variation for the Sun, who is the god of harvest and war. The pearl beads are for the Moon, and the coins are also for the Sun. Fully initiated brothers, sisters, and bloodkin shave their hairline back to tattoo the exposed skin underneath. This sister's specific tattoos are related to the Moon. In Adrania, there are common, widely recognized symbols for each god, but tattoos and tokens can vary from person to person, as will their declaration cords - certain colors, materials, and items (like gold and blue, or wheat, or peal, or coins) will relate to specific gods, but people will personalize their cords however they see fit. There will be examples of what other ropes and what else people wear for the other gods throughout the story (like Clementine and their bells for the Traveler) as well as the differences between Gaelish and Adranian practices.

We will also see sisters wearing white veils in the city, mourning years of death and plague. If you go with Noel, you will see priests wearing metal jaw pieces over cloth masks, a style popularized during the plague and still worn in certain parts of the city, just as the soldiers still wear their silver masks, too.

There is no organized religion in Adrania - there are thousands of sects and cults scattered throughout the kingdom that all worship differently. The sect in Blackwater is devoted to the Wolftriune, and they are an old and well-established group, having been in the area since before the city was founded, with their practices being widely adopted and quite popular in the region. Large groups like this are common in most of the major cities in Adrania, with faith leaders typically working closely with the Wardens and Houses of that city.

There are different temples and sects for the Deathcaller, for the specific wolves of the Wolftriune, for the Traveller, and the Stormbringer. another one that will be relevant to the story are the Knights of the Ardent Sun, who have arrived in Blackwater following the plague and escalation of violence, bonding with the Wolftriune priests and keeping them safe in the streets.

The priests and priestesses in Blackwater have a strained relationship with the new Warden and his soldiers, and spend most of their time caring for refugees and survivors of the Red Death.

Useless Veilguard fact of the day: Day 138

Out of all factions, the Shadow Dragons have the most armours in the game (21, not counting the iconic Rebel outfits). The second place is taken by Antivan Crows (19 armours), and the third is shared by the Veil Jumpers, the Grey Wardens, and the Mourn Watch (15 armous).

The Lords of Fortune take the last place, having only 5 armours in the game.

fanfiction concept: Garak, several months into his relationship with Julian, has gained some weight. This development has unlocked a new kink within doctor Bashir, who is now grappling with this strange obsession and tons of shame and guilt. Meanwhile, Garak is mainly concerned about his wardrobe. His carefully constructed garments, which had once fit him perfectly, were now protesting against him. He eventually explains this predicament to Julian, who offers to help him alter his clothes or make new ones. Garak accepts, and they meet in his shop later that evening. Garak is wearing an open silk robe and his underwear, nothing else. He tells Julian that they will begin with measurements, which is an entire ordeal for Julian to not reveal the true depths of his desires.

It would be really funny, if Ahsoka was just really bad at telling humans apart.

Like how we can struggle quite a bit to tell different animals apart from one another, it would make sense that it would be the same between different alien species.

It is expected that she would get come of the clone mixed up, the just wrote it off as all looking the same. However they start to notice that it isn’t just them when Ahsoka mistakes Anakin for Rex. And again when she mistakes Obi-Wan for Fives, and again when she mixes up Yularen with Boil.

They only then realize that she’s just not very good with human faces.
