STS fun: Generators for making coats of arms (plus a couple other generator mentions). Anyone have any to add? What are your favorite generators for worldbuilding?

Tagging @hd-literature, @tate-lin, @blind-the-winds in case you guys wanna throw any links out there. That's how this works, right? (Hi it's Inkwell and I'm new here, hahaha.)

Got a few images and links below.

Happy Storyteller Saturday!

-Inkwell and Crooked Writer

This is the coat of arms for the Stewards of the Swords, the anti-eldritch bodyguards of the king and his family in our WIP audio drama, Songs of Decay. It's cool cuz the Steward represented there in the middle keeps the Swords (the king's family members) from being corrupted by eldritch influences and turning on the Crown. Read more about the Stewards here.

We used Armoria to generate and customize the coat of arms above.

Armoria actually connects to Azgaar's fantasy map generator! If you generate a map and click on a city, it will show you that city's emblem.

Similarly, you can also click on a city to edit its layout in City Generator by Watabou, a medieval fantasy city generator. All three of these resources are pretty dang awesome, and I love that they all work together!

This is the crest of the Haldane royal family of Imeuiad from our fantasy WIP, Outcasts.

We also use Draw Shield. Draw Shield even has resources on their website to learn about heraldry and related vocabulary. I loooove that it types up the term for each feature you add to the shield, so you can learn blazonry ("the art of describing or painting heraldic devices or armorial bearings") as you go!

Happy Storyteller Saturday!

So a fun fact about me is that I ADORE worldbuilding, both learning about other constructed worlds and developing a constructed world of my own. So I was thinking that I might do a little series on worldbuilding, where I talk about concepts and successes in worldbuilding with examples from the Grishaverse (and maybe from my world too…?). Let me know if you guys would be interested in that :)

Listen, Six of Crows set in San Fransokyo

Kaz "born under the Golden Gate Bridge" Brekker

Bot fights and bot gamblings and just general gambling in the shadier part of the city

Kaz being brought into the city with Jordie when he became a student in The San Fransokyo Institute of Technology (SFIT)

Kaz wanting to be a student at SFIT too, but then Jordie dies, his invention and its blueprints stolen

Kaz being saved by one of the school trustees, Pekka Rollins.

Kaz being Pekka's foster's son. He's also trained to steal for Pekka in the name of "you can't expect to live under his roof for free"

Pekka promises he's investigating Jordie's missing blueprints. He tells Kaz of his suspicion that Jordie was murdered

Inej meeting Kaz when he's out monitoring one of the gambling dens one night. She was stealing food.

Inej was child trafficked into SF

She's one of the kids being experimented on for a medical company, insert an on the nose name of a company for Tante Heleen.

She's one of the survivors from a medical experiment and she somehow has a debt that she has to pay back to the company

Pekka Rollins is obsessed with avenging his dead son who he thinks dies because of a trial medication so he decided to steal Jordie's (insert another invention that can help Pekka's scheme) invention

Jesper goes to the same school as Kaz. Street rat and a bit of a druggie but genius in chemistry.

Wylan is from a music school where his richie rich parents are the trustees. People have never seen him. The Van Eck also have claws in the gambling and the medical industry.

Kaz being sent on a basically suicide mission where Rollins doesn't expect him to return from. He tells him not to bother coming home if he doesn't succeed

That is to steal Matthias, a robot from a well-guarded laboratory and his blueprints.

Nina is one of the nurses at the laboratory.

Matthias is not a robot

Sci-fi Six of Crows

As of today, I have 272,826 published words on A03. Plus another 60,000+ words in WIP. Wheee. I have officially surpassed the word count of the original duology my fics are based off of. I might be insane. This all started with a 5,000 word story.

Artists of tumbler I have a concept idea for you.

You know that quote “‘they’ walked, so ‘they’ could run”?

Imagine: Percabeth walking slowly, maybe Percy leaning on Annabeth because he’s injured; Hiccup and Astrid walking fast and laughing/starting to run one after another; and finally Kanej running alongside each other towards the sea. Or, considering Kaz’s limp, it could be the scene from the end of CK(Kaz standing/slowly walking and Inej running forward to her parents). It can also be Kaz carrying Inej to the Ferolind.

y'all ever think about how Kaz being alive on the reapers barge and screaming for help that went unheard is a metaphor for ones inner child buried amidst the corpses of the person one used to be?

What the actual FUCK?! (no. 1)

So apparently the show decided to paint Novyi Zem as Grisha-loving idyll.

Alina: “You're a Durast?“

Zemeni librarian: “Oh. Zemeni do not use such narrow terms. We are all "zowa". Blessed.“

Alina: “Oh, that's, um... That's lovely.“

Zemeni librarian: “Being Grisha is a wonderful thing. A beautiful thing. But we are lucky to be safe here in Novyi Zem. I feel for the Ravkan Grisha. May their Saints watch over them.“

SAFE IN NOVYI ZEM?! Is that why Jesper had to hide being Grisha?!

When he was a little boy, lying in his father’s fields, he’d discovered he could leach the color out of a jurda blossom petal by petal. One boring afternoon, he’d bleached a swear word into the western pasture in capital letters. His father had been furious, but he’d been scared too. He’d yelled himself hoarse chastising Jesper, and then Colm had just sat there, staring at him, big hands clasped around a mug of tea to keep them from shaking. At first, Jesper thought it was the swear his father was mad about, but that wasn’t it at all.

“Jes,” he’d said at last. “You must never do that again. Promise me. Your ma had the same gift. It can bring you only misery.”

...

There were secret lessons too. Sometimes, when they got home late, and she needed to get supper on, she’d boil the water without ever heating the stove, make bread rise just by looking at it. He’d seen her pull stains from clothes with a brush of her fingers, and she made her own gunpowder, extracting the saltpeter from a long-dry lake bed near where they lived. “Why pay for something I can make better myself?” she asked. “But we don’t mention this to Da, hmm?” When Jesper asked why, she’d just say, “Because he has enough to worry about, and I don’t like it when he worries about me.” But Da did worry, especially when one of his mother’s Zemeni friends came to the door looking for help or healing.

“You think the slavers can’t reach you here?” he’d asked one night, pacing back and forth in their cabin as Jesper huddled in his blankets, pretending to sleep so that he could listen. “If word gets out there’s a Grisha living here—”

Crooked Kingdom Chapter 16

... safe in Novyi Zem? Well yes, unless you’re kidnapped by Kerch slavers and sold to *checks notes* Fjerdan witchhunters, Shu experimenters or just other Kerch to use you however they please...

Most rogue Grisha ended up in Novyi Zem. Aside from Ravka, it was the only place where they didn’t have to fear being experimented on by Shu doctors or burned by Fjerdan witchhunters. Even so, they had to be cautious about displaying their power. Grisha were valued slaves, and less scrupulous Kerch traders were known to round them up and sell them in secret auctions.

These were the very threats that had led so many Grisha to take refuge in Ravka and join the Second Army in the first place. But the rogues thought differently. For them, a life spent looking over their shoulders and moving from one place to the next to avoid discovery was preferable to a life in service to the Darkling and the Ravkan King. It was a choice I understood.
