House and Home
Welcome to the empires age regression long fic! If you’d like to be added to a tag list just let me know!
Chapter 1:
Pix sighed, wiping sweat from his forehead as he finished packing the last of his books he needed to bring with him on this trip.
With the ever present threat of Xornoth, alliances had never been so fragile, and everyone was a bit trigger happy. After the last meeting with all the emperors has ended with Jimmy and Fwhip at each other’s throats, literally, Katherine had decided that something needed to be done. They needed a united front to face Xornoth, and they were anything but.
Pix had been consulted on the creation of the building, all the empires had, though very few acknowledged it. It was a large mansion, with enough rooms to house all of them, and plenty of communal spaces. It was non-optional to attend and spent the next week in the constant company of the others. Pix had no true issues with any of the emperors, he was fairly neutral, but that doesn’t mean he wants to see them all constantly.
But, Katherine had made the consequences of not attending clear, and so Pix was packing and preparing. He had brought plenty of paperwork along, as Pixandria always needed something signed, along with candles, just in case. He knew the others disliked the practice, or at least were weary of it, but not all candle lightings were focused on death.
Pix lit candles in his bedroom because he was afraid disliked the dark.
He stared at his 2 bags. One was entirely filled with books and papers, the other with clothing. He turned, surveying his bedroom for the last time for a week, before his eyes caught on a box.
It was small, a soft blue, and peaking out from under his bed. He frowned at it, nudging back under his bed with a huff. Then sighed at his own antics, bending down to pick it up and place it on his bed. Inside, it held some of his most precious things. He lifted the lid, carefully scooping out the contents. A worn, but still soft stuffed bird and a carefully painted pacifier, patterned with stars.
He gently stroked the fur of the toy, biting his lip. He pulled his hand away and sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Realistically, he could go far more than a week without regressing. In fact, it had been a little over 3 weeks since he last regressed, which was… not sustainable. Further, he would probably struggle to not slip when every moment of the day he was surrounded by noise and activity, the moment he was alone he would crash.
He continued to stare at the objects, not knowing that across the land, several others were facing a similar dilemma.
-
“Lizzie,” Joel and Jimmy both whined as she finished packing a large bag of regression supplies.
“None of that,” the Ocean Queen commanded with a soft smile. “We all know that the moment someone else slips one of you will, then the other, and you’ll both be very displeased with me if I don’t have your favourite pacifiers.
-
Fwhip blushed as Gem dug through his things, pulling out pacifiers and teethers and pull-ups. “I really doubt I’ll need any of this.” Fwhip mumbled, but Gem ignored him, stuffing a bag full of everything Fwhip had for his regression.
-
Scott stared at his bag. It had been packed for ages, since he’d first received the letter detailing Katherine’s plan. In the front pocket of the bag there was a singular pacifier. He needed to leave soon, he didn’t want to be late.
Did he really need to bring it? What if someone found it? Scott clenched his hands, digging his nails into his palms. He grabbed the bag as is and hopped out his window, wings opening up as he began the short flight.
-
As all the emperors, kings and queens and rulers, entered the large premises, they looked at each other warily. The next week was bound to be interesting, if it doesn’t end in disaster.
Hope you enjoyed! @little-froglight (I finally started it!

D&D World Building
The Continent is split between The Iron Oligarchy, Tribes of the God-Corpse Woods, and The League of Pact-Cities.
The Iron Oligarchy
A dwarven-giant industrial/trade conglomerate. Their territory covers the tallest mountain range in the Continent, Vulkan's Gift, as well as large swaths of the Underdark. Profits are split 50/50 between small and big kin, as the ancient contracts dictate (Which must never be violated lest ruin come to all who signed it). Big Kin are fire, stone, cloud and thunder giants, as well as their Goliath servants. Small kin are Hill, Mountain, and Deep Dwarves as well as Rock/Deep Gnomes. As their name implies, most iron goods sold across the Continent are produced in their forges. The Oligarchy use their wealth to maintain a professional army supported by mercenary auxiliaries. Standard oligarchy army formation consist of one or two giants hurling projectiles over slowly advancing shield-wall fighters commanded by war-priests of Vulkan. Mercenary Goblinoids and Drow provide much needed fast/stealth attack power. Experimental clockwork fighters and (slightly) more reliable Golems are kept in reserve for special occasions. These forces are necessary for the defense of the Oligarchy's forges, mines, and trade convoys against raiders as well as more disturbing threats. Soldiers who have earned many honors might be invited to serve at the Oligarchy's Planar Gate. These honored champions may go on expeditions to the elemental planes of fire and earth where rare materials can be extracted.
Tribes of the God-Corpse Woods
It is said that long ago a deity was killed in a particularly gruesome fashion, it's remains scattered across the Continent. From it's dismembered flesh a great and resilient forest grew up. Tribes of Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Forest Gnomes patrol this forest alongside Ents/Dryads, Lycanthropes, and Fey guardians. While the tribes can unite together against common enemies they are divided by beliefs regarding the future. The Singers of Spring believe that The Deity will be reborn from the earth and bring about a new evergreen age. These followers prosthelytize for the protection of the woods, the benefits of having a connection to nature, and the arts of druidic magic. The Zealots of Summer cite numerous blighted grounds within the forest where the undead rise as evidence that The Great One was undergoing some dark corruption and had to conflagrate itself before it was too late. These followers are militant slayers of evil but are willing to make sacrifices and compromises for the greater good. The Revelers of Fall believe that there is a Coming Pantheon of Gods waiting to be summoned if the right conditions are fulfilled. The Revelers search for mana infused places across The Continent where they perform experimental rituals ... which have been responsible for one demonic outbreak, two separate births of benevolent small gods, and an islet tainted by The Far Realm's influence. The Prophets of Winter believe that the God-Killer is still out there somewhere, sated for now but could be roused to destroy the world if someone does something REALLY foolish. The prophets give orders to assassins to ensure that the only one who knows how to awaken the God-Killer is the soul-scrap of the Nameless Dead God that the prophets secretly commune with. A single Tribe of the God-Woods can have many members of different races and beliefs, making the whole Tribe seem highly unpredictable to outsiders in both combat and diplomacy.
The League of Pact-Cities
This alliance consists of 5 diverse urban centers linked by magical infrastructure and political ties. Serendipity is the nominal capital of the League and home to a large population of Githzerai and Flumphs who draft works of arcane legislation. Kraken's Bane is a half-sunken port kept busy with sustainable fishing/trade (and an occasional monster hunt) that's inhabited by various oceanic races such as Tritons and Sea Elves. Drakkenhope is a holy city for Dragonborn and Kobolds, where priesthoods of Tiamat and Bahamut see to the needs of the masses as well as blessing delvers who search the Ever Shifting Catacombs for dragon eggs to return to the surface for hatching. Recurrent Wing is a flying city filled with Air Genasi, Aasimar, and Aaracrocka residents who work at yards where skyships are built and maintained. The city of Harvestville is (obviously) the bread basket of the Pact, home to Goliaths, Humans, Halflings, and Earth Genasi who work their supernaturally fertile crops year round. The Pact-Cities rely on four tiers of Security Teams to deal with threats of escalating proportions: Beast Control Teams are locals equipped and trained by the Pact to handle outbreaks of hostile creatures. Anti-Brigand Teams take down corrupt officials within city boundaries and criminals that retreat outside them. Combined Arms Teams are highly trained casters and warriors, deployed via magic anywhere deadly precision force is required. Finally, Massive Crisis Teams can fortify locations and prepare citizens quickly for the onset of military invasions or planar incursions. Teams are encouraged to recognize each other's authority, knowing when to step in and help, or step back and ask for help.

What are the biggest conflicts right now?
I'm assuming you mean conflicts within Looming Gaia at large?
There are actually a lot of major conflicts going on at this point in the main story. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible:
Nymph Pact: As civilizations grow, their impact on the natural environment increases, and this causes harm to Gaia. Some kingdoms realized that endless growth is not sustainable and signed a document to restrict technological advancement, called the Nymph Pact. But other kingdoms refused to sign this document and continue their growth unchecked, damaging the planet and enraging nymphs. This has led to countless battles, large and small, between nymphs and peoples all across the world.
Evangeline-Folkvar war: Evangeline decided to enslave fae and gaians. Refugees sought freedom in the northeast and founded Folkvar Kingdom. The two kingdoms now struggle for dominance over the land of Noalen.
Sovereign's Terrian genocides: Sovereign asked some of the Great Kingdoms to stop polluting the oceans because it was causing harm to Aquarian peoples. The kingdoms politely told him to go fuck himself. Sovereign retaliated by slaughtering and enslaving millions of kingdom Terrians, and refuses to stop until the pollution stops. Rather than addressing the pollution, the kingdom decided to wage war on Sovereign and the Aquarian Alliance.
Yerim-Mor vs. Cult of the Crescent: The Cult of the Crescent currently has Yerim-Mor's government bent over a barrel. The Morite people are not happy about this, to say the least, and demand that their government fight back. The Morite government is in no position to fight back and none of the other kingdoms have the balls to step in and help, so the poor Morites are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Zareen Empire's resource shortages: Zareen Empire has ravaged the land for thousands of years, greedily sucking up resources and leaving garbage in its place with no consideration for the future. Now there is too much garbage, the soil is unfit for farming, and crucial resources like iron, food, and oil are running out on the homefront. Now, Zareen Empire is left with two choices: they can change their hyper-consumerist, pollutive way of life, or they can start reaching into other lands for more resources. They have chosen the latter, meaning things are getting tense between them and other kingdoms. No one wants Zareen drilling, logging, and manufacturing on their land, because they've seen how everything this empire touches literally turns to garbage...so, Zareen might have to start some wars to get what they want, or else the Zareenite people might have to *gasp!* use paper bags instead of plastic! The Zareenites will not stand for such barbarism!
Matuzu-Etios war: This isn't so much a "war" as it is a "stalemate". Etios took over 1/3 of Matuzu's land and then allied with Folkvar, making them too powerful for Matuzu to mess with currently. The time for Matuzu to take back their land was ages ago, and they missed the window because they were too busy being dicks and harassing Yerim-Mor. Now it looks like they have permanently lost 1/3 of their territory to Etios, and they're stuck hemorrhaging resources defending the 2/3 they have left. This situation can only escalate as Matuzu keeps sticking its hands in everyone else's pies.
Rogue killer robots: A long time ago, Zareen Empire manufactured powerful robot soldiers to fight their wars. Long story short, this backfired horribly, and the robots were all recalled. However, many of the robots are still out there, wreaking havoc in various corners of Gaia, for their AI has gone rogue and all they care about is obtaining more petrol for their fuel tanks. They will destroy anything or kill anyone to keep themselves "alive". They are an especially bad problem in northern Wokina, where peoples depend on the scant supply of petrol to survive in the Bormek Ruins. These peoples must fight the rogue robots over petrol on the daily.
I know there are many more conflicts, but these are the ones I can think of at the moment!

Phoenix Awakening Worldbuilding pt2
Tumblr media
Phoenix Awakening is a romantic fantasy novel releasing February 2nd 2024 and the first book of the Hiraeth Song series.
The world is separated into five kingdoms and two territories separated by walls and the Alcross Ocean. Magic is represented through gifts and centered around elements.
Gifts in the Kingdom of Terra fall into two categories. Those gifted in botany, soil and nature, and those gifted in relation to the animals living within. Jaguars grace the Terran banners, a symbol of a time before the majority of its people lost the ability to shift into them. 
Sustainability is preached first and foremost. Nothing used is wasted. Deceased Terran’s often return to the nature from which they were most closely related. It is hard to cut down a tree that may have been created from the remains of an ancestor without careful consideration of the spirit that passed on/ continued on living in a different form.
The society is built by a caste system in which the family you’re born in decides your title and place. Gifts play a more important role in the lower castes than the higher ones, deciding one's job/ occupation. There is only one High Laird, the title being unisex and one normally born or married into. The Terran Heir/Heiress is the title of their first born. Elders of the higher castes are often seeked for council. 
Saris and kurtas are prevalent styles of clothing but the colors, textures and complexities are unique to each caste. Children are raised by their respective caste community and taught to respect the cycle of life at an early age. Reputation and respect are valued qualities. And arranged marriages are common to fortify alliances between families. 
Ren Briar is the capital city located deep within the Sargori jungle, created around and within the natural architecture with rising stone temples and houses within massive living trees. 
Creating dyes, herbalism, foraging, hunting and farming, while maintaining the balance of the ecosystem, are popular professions. Terra’s major trade items are its excess produce (fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs and spices), and dyes. 
Dense forests and jungles along with the neighboring mountain range and access to the Alcross Ocean makes Terran’s terrain and ecosystems the most diverse. There are moderate winters, heat waves in summer and copious amounts of rain in spring. 
Terran complexions tend to be shades of olive and brown. Hazel, green and brown eyes are most common in the populace.

what are some Hawaiian Tribal Tattoos?
Tumblr media
Hawaiian tribal tattoos, deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of the islands, are powerful expressions of identity, spirituality, and connection to the land and sea. These tattoos often feature distinctive patterns and symbols, each carrying its own unique meaning.
Enata (Human Figures): Enata symbols in Hawaiian tribal tattoos often depict human figures in various postures. These symbols represent relationships, with each figure signifying a person and their connections to others. The arrangement and style of enata convey specific messages about family ties, alliances, or personal relationships.
Ipu (Gourd): The ipu, or gourd, is a common motif in Hawaiian tribal tattoos, symbolizing fertility, abundance, and growth. This design reflects the importance of agriculture and the land in Hawaiian culture, emphasizing the connection between the people and their environment.
Spearheads (Pololū): Spearhead patterns are prevalent in Hawaiian tribal tattoos, representing strength, courage, and the warrior spirit. These symbols pay homage to the islands' history of warfare and the valor of Hawaiian warriors.
Shark Teeth (Niho Mano): Shark teeth patterns are integral to Hawaiian tribal tattoos, symbolizing protection and adaptability. The niho mano design, resembling shark teeth, is often used to convey strength and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
Fish Hooks (Makau): Fish hooks are significant symbols in Hawaiian tribal tattoos, representing prosperity, good luck, and abundance from the ocean. The makau design pays homage to the importance of fishing and the ocean's role in sustaining Hawaiian communities.
Tiki Figures: Tiki figures, resembling humanoid carvings with distinct facial features, are popular in Hawaiian tribal tattoos. These symbols represent deities, ancestors, or protective spirits. Tiki tattoos are believed to bring good fortune and protection to the wearer.
Hawaiian tribal tattoos serve as visual narratives, preserving and conveying the cultural heritage of the islands. Each symbol is a testament to the deep spiritual connection Hawaiians have with their land, sea, and ancestors, making these tattoos not just art but profound expressions of identity and cultural pride.

2023 / 20
Aperçu of the Week:
"Music is a language in which you can't lie."
(Hubert von Goisern, Austrian singer-songwriter and founder of alpine rock)
Bad News of the Week:
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is upon us again. This weather phenomenon of the equatorial Pacific happens at irregular intervals of two to eight years and refers to the occurrence of unusual, non-cyclical, altered ocean currents in the oceanographic-meteorological system. Without going into detail about Walker cells, trade winds and surface waters, let's just say that the weather between South America and Southeast Asia is tipping. With worldwide effects.
Plankton dies en masse and leads to the collapse of entire food chains, e.g. there are no more fish off Peru, seabirds die in the entire Pacific. Unnaturally heavy rainfall on the western side of the Andes causes landslides and flooding. In Southeast Asia and Australia, the lack of rain causes huge bush and forest fires, and the Amazon region and southern Africa dry out. Huge hurricanes develop in Mexico, the monsoon intensifies in India, and coral bleaching increases significantly worldwide. Everywhere it becomes noticeably warmer.
El Niño has already been documented by the pre-Columbian Incas and is even believed to have led to the extinction of the Moche civilization. It is therefore a natural phenomenon for which, for once, humans are not to blame. However, since man-made climate disasters such as floods, hurricanes and forest fires have increased dramatically in recent years, more than a few experts expect a reciprocal amplification that could be devastating due to its cascading effect. In the best case, humanity gets a temporary taste of circumstances to come, hopefully leading to more immediate action to mitigate climate change impacts. At worst, this heated combination pushes climatic tipping points past their very tipping point. Which, as we know, is irreversible.
Good News of the Week:
The annual G7 summit is over. This time under Japanese leadership in Hiroshima. This cooperation format of the seven economically strongest Western nations (Japan, USA, Canada, France, Great Britain, Italy and Germany) with the participation of the European Union originally saw itself as a forum for discussing issues of the global economy. And in recent years, it has evolved into a hub that also has security and sociopolitical relevance. Therefore, an unsurprising item on the program this year was the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenski to promote fighter jets.
Just as predictable as the condemnation of Russia's war of aggression was the theme of economic cooperation with China while distancing oneself from its geopolitical and human rights positions. The same applies to concerns about climate change, declining biodiversity and the too-slow expansion of renewable energies - albeit without any significant breakthroughs. Also, security of supply in globalized trade and cooperation with emerging economic powers. So no surprises at all?
Yes, in my opinion there are. After the delivery chain issues at the time of the Corona pandemic, the grain exports from Ukraine and fertilizers from Russia, which have been stopped in the meantime, have thrown another spotlight on the global food situation. Which is shitty to say the least. Among other things, because it is precisely the poorest countries that are most affected by the effects of climate change that are already being felt today.
Last year, under German auspices, the G7 and the World Bank founded the Global Alliance for Food Security (GAFS). According to its statutes, the alliance is committed to an agile, targeted and rapid response to food crises, which at the same time takes the right path toward sustainable agricultural systems. And pools the corresponding resources of its members: Germany, for example, has already been giving 2 billion euros annually for years to fight hunger in needy countries.
Now, according to a communiqué, the G7 have decided to provide a further 21 billion U.S. dollars in emergency aid. German Development Minister Svenja Schulze, initiator of the GAFS, commented: "The fact that the G7 are now united in their commitment to a further and holistic commitment one year later is a strong sign of solidarity with the Global South."
Of course, this is not enough. Oxfam, for example, points out that the UN has put the financial requirement in this regard at 55 billion. The G7 would have therefore failed in terms of development policy. But if you take a look at the bare figures, you will see that the G7 are contributing their fair share according to their economic performance. I am not aware of any corresponding initiative by China, India, Russia, Brazil or the Arab world. So we are on track so far. At least we are. And at least on a topic that too rarely makes it into the headlines.
Personal happy moment of the week:
My two children are getting older - and on their own feet. First, my daughter, who just turned 20, was in Budapest with the political science department of her university. Although only in her first year of study already as a group leader. And then my son, who just turned 15, was at the partner school in Paris. As the only one from the 8th grade and the youngest participant of the student exchange. Both not only completed their trip with aplomb, but also took the opportunity to present themselves as cosmopolitan, curious, self-confident young people. And made their dad proud.
I couldn't care less...
...about the voting behavior of Turks in Germany. Because they are allowed to vote in their home country, even if they are resident abroad. And they do. In large numbers. Unfortunately, two-thirds for Recep Erdogan. That was the case in the regular presidential election a week ago and that will be the case in the runoff election a week from now. I do not understand that. People who live in a well developed prosperous democracy should actually appreciate its canon of values - and not keep an autocrat in power.
As I write this...
...I am sitting on the train to Cologne. As I or my employer had booked it. Which is no longer a matter of course in view of the frequent strikes lately. The next round of negotiations between the union and Deutsche Bahn is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so my return trip should also work out that day. On schedule. Which is tantamount to being late. Right now, we've been theoretically on the move for 12 minutes - but we're still standing on the platform in Munich. So everything is completely normal.
Post Scriptum
The Arab League has welcomed Syria's ruler Bashar al-Assad back into its midst - with a brotherly kiss. Those who were still waiting for proof that human rights do not always feel at home in the Arab cultural area (to put it mildly) now have it. The greeting "Salam alaikum" means "(May) peace be upon you". Yeah - but some terms and conditions apply.

i. vali fears the ocean/deep open water, and he has a rational reason to be that way. his body is just not made for swimming all that well -- and its all because of his chitin plating. if theres a bunch of air pockets stuck under his chitin, it will just make him annoyingly buoyant. however, if the spaces inbetween his chitin armor become waterlogged, it could drag him down like a rock if hes not careful. he knows how to swim *vaguely*, he can handle swimming in more shallow water, but any sort of sustained swimming in very deep water? he will just panic and that will likely cause him to drown faster than his chitin ever could. so i think...vasco should teach vali to swim BETTER. or at least get him more comfortable with being in and around water, if just to make vali's life a little bit easier on a ship. and also so vasco doesnt have the worry that the bug is gonna just get flung overboard and drown every time the waves get a little choppy. pfft. landlubber.
ii. once vali does get comfortable around water and on the ship, not much would be able to stop him from acting on his most savage fae impulses as we already talked about a little bit. he would likely go from walking shakey legged around the ship to crawling up into the crows nest like its nbd. i feel like that would be around the time where the two of them would start to get closer and bond, as vali would be able to more effectively interact with the nauts instead of being confined, sea-sick, to his cabin. he would be intensely interested in the culture of the nauts, curious to learn about a culture that is made up of people from entirely different cultures, who live entirely upon the sea, whom have no desires of colonization or conquest. the last one right there is an extremely foreign concept to a dokkalfar, whom could be considered a war-like race. he would begin to appreciate that mindset, even if at first he would not understand it.
iii. every time they are in port vali is going to immediately insist they go out drinking. he would drag vasco out from the docks and treat him to a good time. though im sure it would end in both of them getting too drunk and getting lost, and not making their way back until dawn. no one ever said vali was any good at retracing his steps in these big cities full of iron and smoke - he would get lost with vasco quite a bit.
iv. in the universe im basing the starter i wrote for you in, hes being chased from universe to universe by the wild hunt, which is his entire reason for joining the nauts on their voyage. he fully intends to just run as far as he can to the farthest reaches of unknown worlds, catch a breath before they find him again, then rinse and repeat. he would keep his identity as a fae a secret, instead merely posing as a noble among the bridge alliance. this not only will keep his identity a secret to the people around him, but also keep the wild hunt off his tail that much longer. however, his lack of knowledge of this world would quickly begin to show, and no doubt vasco and the other nauts would begin to notice the strange qualities and ways of their new ship-mate. vasco might see glimpses of valeriu's true form out of the corner of his eye. the glamour will maintain so long as vali has everyone around him convinced that they know what they see to be true. the minute vasco questions it, and realizes what hes looking at is illusion, then vali's glamour is just gonna be ppppftppfptpfptppftttttttt completely kaput. i wonder how he might first react to that realization, particularly if neither of them intended it. i can see when vasco is just starting to realize, he spends a lot of time of just staring suspiciously at vali, trying to figure out wtf is wrong with this picture. and vali is like *sweats nervously and pulls his collar* umm....can i get you something??? :)))) im definitely just a normal person....definitely NOT a bug.

♛ → THE CROWNLANDS presents DEIMOS VELARYON, the RULING LORD OF DRIFTMARK & HAND OF THE QUEEN TO DAENERYS TARGARYEN MASTER OF LAWS TO KING JAEHAERYS II. when the dragons danced in the sky they thought the BLACKS would still fly, but in the blink of an eye, they would all die. the THIRTY-SEVEN MALE who was LOYAL & DECISIVE before they saw the first of the flames, is now DETACHED & OBSCURE after seeing the last. they’re often associated with the mask he has accepted for his family; becoming what they need him to become, the reassuring lilac eyes of his kin, and the blades that drip with the blood of those who seek to extinguish the valyrian bloodline. ( orlando bloom )
GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Deimos Velaryon
AGE: Thirty-seven (Born January 7th, 107 AC)
STATUS: Ruling lord
OCCUPATION: Master of Laws Former Hand of the Queen
MARITAL STATUS: Married to Lady Nefeli Reyaan
CHARACTER ALIGNMENT: True Neutral
MBTI: ISTJ (introversion, sensing, thinking, judging)
RELIGION: Faith of the Seven (Some belief in the Valyrian deities)
BIOGRAPHY
Deimos was the first child born out of the union of the Queen Who Never Was, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, and the legendary Sea Snake, Lord Corlys Velaryon. Deimos was raised to feel pride for both sides of his lineage and since he was but a boy, he learned to embrace both sides of his heritage: to answer the call of the ocean by joining his father when he set sail, and the thrilling draw of the skies atop a dragon along his dragonrider mother. Eventually, Deimos’ own egg hatched a companion that he learned to ride at age eleven, a swift silvery beast by the name of Seasmoke.
While he grew up in Driftmark, the young heir of Corlys and Rhaenys did spend plenty of time in King’s Landing and was no stranger to the key members of King Viserys’ court. With the naming of a female heir to the throne and the birth of a son by Queen Alicent, the Velaryons foresaw a complex and bloody future ahead of the realm, a powder keg that would take some time to blow up. Meanwhile, Deimos forged himself as both warrior and sailor from a young age, and was like his father’s shadow, taking ever instance of their shared time to learn what he needed to one day succeed him in his place as Master of the Tides and Lord of Driftmark. Father and son were also mentor and student, even close confidants, which is why Lord Corlys entrusted his son with the fact that his heart had been taken by a lowborn seafarer by name of Magdi, that he’d bore a child of wedlock with her, a girl that they named Selene. Deimos, who developed a sort of pragmatic nature, wasn’t as bothered as he perhaps should have been by the news. In his eyes, love wasn’t something that sustained a marriage, but respect and trust. He was aware that his parents didn’t necessarily own each other’s hearts, but that they were able to work together as the greatest of matches because of their bond of trust and devotion to one another despite lacking fidelity. It took some time for the rest of siblings to learn of Selene’s existence, but for his part, Deimos developed a close bond with her since his teenage years as well as with his father’s lover.
When tensions rose within the house of the dragon reached a boiling point and the civil war erupted, House Velaryon pledged themselves to Rhaenyra and the side of the Blacks. The dragons danced and House Velaryon suffered deeply for it, resulting in the deaths of both Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys, as well as the destruction of the castle of High Tide and the loss of Deimos’ dragon, Seasmoke. During that period of strife, Lord Deimos wed the Braavosi lady Nefeli of House Reyaan to secure an alliance with Braavos. After the end of the war, the new ruling lord of House Velaryon focused his efforts in the rebuilding of the castle of High Tide and other areas of Driftmark destroyed during the Dance.
When Daemon, son of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen, rose as king, Deimos was appointed Hand of the King in his cousin’s council. He kept the position of Hand after the brutal murder of the dragon king, serving his sister, Queen Daenerys. He assisted in any way he could to achieve peaceful unity between the Crownlands and the Stormlands once both lands fell Targaryen rule with the extinction of House Baratheon. His younger brother, Aerion, was wed to Lady Elenda of House Swann in an effort to foster a sense of unity and peace between both lands. With the taking of the Stepstones by the man who styled himself King Aerion Dragonsteel, members of the Velaryon fleet set sail to reclaim the islands back. The false king had Lord Aerion Velaryon murdered then, sinking House Velaryon in tragedy once again.
With the rise of King Jaehaerys II as ruler of the Crownlands, the Stormlands and the Stepstones, Lord Deimos no longer served as Hand to his cousin. Instead, Jaehaerys chose to appoint him Master of Laws, despite the bitter history between both men during the Dance.

Satellites Unveil the Size and Nature of the World’s Coral Reefs - Technology Org
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/satellites-unveil-the-size-and-nature-of-the-worlds-coral-reefs-technology-org/
Satellites Unveil the Size and Nature of the World’s Coral Reefs - Technology Org
University of Queensland-led research has shown there is more coral reef area across the globe than previously thought, with detailed satellite mapping helping to conserve these vital ecosystems.

Dr Mitchell Lyons from UQ’s School of the Environment, working as part of the Allen Coral Atlas project, said scientists have now identified 348,000 square kilometres of shallow coral reefs, up to 20-30 metres deep.
“This revises up our previous estimate of shallow reefs in the world’s oceans,” Dr Lyons said.
“Importantly, the high-resolution, up-to-date mapping satellite technology also allows us to see what these habitats are made from.

“We’ve found 80,000 square kilometres of reef have a hard bottom, where coral tends to grow, as opposed to soft bottom like sand, rubble or seagrass.
“This data will allow scientists, conservationists, and policymakers to better understand and manage reef systems.”
More than 1.5 million samples and 100 trillion pixels from the Sentinel-2 and Planet Dove CubeSat satellites were used to capture fine scale detail on a high-resolution global map.
“This is the first accurate depiction of the distribution and composition of the world’s coral reefs, with clear and consistent terminology,” Dr Lyons said.
“It’s more than just a map – it’s a tool for positive change for reefs and coastal and marine environments at large.”
UQ’s Associate Professor Chris Roelfsema said the reef mapping project, a collaboration with more than 480 contributors, is already being used in coral reef conservation around the world.
“The maps and associated data are publicly accessible through the Allen Coral Atlas and Google Earth Engine, reaching a global audience,” Dr Roelfsema said.
“They’re being used to inform projects in Australia, Indonesia, the Timor and Arafura Seas, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Vanuatu, Panama, Belize, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Kenya and western Micronesia.
“The details provided by these maps empowers scientists, policymakers and local communities to make informed decisions for the preservation of our coral reefs.”
The Allen Coral Atlas was conceived and funded by the late Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc. and managed by Arizona State University along with partners from Planet, the Coral Reef Alliance and The University of Queensland.
The research paper is published in Cell Reports Sustainability.
