#AugustWorldBuilders #RelicWorld Individual study at the cathedral colleges (except for the first year). Group work at the squire training center. bullies are everywhere. Ugh.
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)#AugustWorldbuilders, hey there friends! What is the general vibe like at your world's school? Are the students polite and mature? Are there bullying problems? Do they do a lot of group work or is it more focused on individual study?
#AugustWorldBuilders #RelicWorld There's a place of learning for those who want to be priests at most major temples; Stalfort is a place where several dozen young people train up to be squires.
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)Good day, #AugustWorldbuilders! Today's Q: does your world have specialized schools for people seeking a specific job or trade? Or anything like a magic or military school?
#AugustWorldBuilders #RelicWorld Reading, Writing, and Rithmetic. Advanced studies are rare and usually through apprenticeships (loremasters, bards, lawyers, historians, thaumaturges)
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)Good morning, #AugustWorldbuilders! In your fictional settings, what subjects are taught in schools? Do they learn the usual history, math, language, science? Anything extra? Anything specifically removed because the powers-that-be don't want kids learning about it?👀
#AugustWorldBuilders #RelicWorld Let's focus on the Age of Steel. Education like the 3Rs is reserved for the noble.
Kira of the Wind (Erika McCorkle)Welcome to a new month of worldbuilding! For the first month of #AugustWorldbuilders, we're talking about education in the context of a fictional world. Answer these questions for a fantasy/scifi story. 1. Can anyone attend schools in your setting or is it restricted to certain groups?
#MythAugust The First Footers (new gods) are a pantheon of about 20 affiliated beings — some manipulating the world from on high on Godsmount with priests intercessing on their behalf. Some have made themselves god-sovereigns and god-priests and live in the world.
Prof Emily#MythAugust Day 2 Tell us about the major god(s) or spirit(s) in your fantasy religion! This is meant to be a broad overview - we'll have focused questions for specific gods later! Feel free to interpret the question as loosely as you need to if you aren't working with a traditional pantheon 😁
#writingcommunity #MythAugust #RelicWorld The Sathau are deathless nature spirits. They might pay attention to what People want depending on how they are treated. The New Gods are deathless beings with powers. They might pay attention to what People want depending on how they are treated
Prof EmilyHello #writingcommunity, welcome to Day 1 of #MythAugust! This is a worldbuilding game about ✨fantasy✨ gods, myths & religions! You can use the prompts to build up your gods, or yap about some you've already made! Today, give us a BRIEF intro (not too detailed!), & please interact with others ☺️❤️
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts “Hush, biddy, hush,” she murmured and hunkered down. “You’re good and stuck. Silly hen. Hungry hen.” With a stream of words and careful breaking of thorny branches, Bari managed to extricate the biddy.

#SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt Honest to goodness when it happens *outside* my mind, like, over in the kitchen or something? It gets very messy.
Kayleigh Diaz 29 | In an industry that is increasingly becoming saturated with AI-generated content, how do you feel about the importance of art & human creativity? (If this reads like an essay prompt, yes. Sorry. Teacher. 😅) Also, how do you fight against it? #SummerOfStories #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt
#WritingPrompt So prompt: teenagers running moonshine So clearly Moonshine needed to be run. So clearly Moonshine = a Very Good Dog. Pets not allowed on campus. So clearly Moonshine = Very Good Emotional Support Dog. So clearly #Moonshine is our little Bodhisattva who loves every one of us.
