Lore review for @thenorthwindrising ! (PWYW lair/lore reviews are open)

under the cut againnnnn

Right from your front page I see- seelie and unseelie! I only recently learned what those are from a D&D game but i have a good understanding of them now so I’m excited to see what you do with it :D

I like the north wind theme, It’s got a great ring to it~

I had to start with Sapphire, the clan leader! I love the art in her bio, just as an aside- it’s really pretty!! I like the quote and also the title of “high queen,” it immediately makes her seem all powerful on an almost godlike scale. Contrasting that with the fact that she is so confident she’s cocky works well, it gives me a quick idea of her personality and what i assume is her biggest shortcoming. I do think saying she “knows that nothing can stand in her way” kinda contrasts this- maybe she :thinks” nothing can stand in her way (since she’s a bit too confident) and it makes me curious as to if/when she’s ever been too confident and negatively affected the clan, as it feels implied.

My clean leader hates wind because of StarWind bay haha... parallels. I do think this bio feels like it jumps around a bit too much- we just get 3 very unconnected seeming blurbs about her. I think changing the formatting to “she is prejudiced against arcane because of the defeat at windstar bay...” could help with that, as it feels like we are hearing about her character, instead of the bay, which is how it sounds right now. The last piece is good info, but it makes me want to know- what was her job as clan leader like before the clan split? and what made the clan split? a few more lines of exposition could help this a lot, I think! It’s a good bio, though, and I really like how you brught out her character in just a few short lines.

Next, I went to check out Sugartha because I’m a sucker for those cute little hats. Just so you know, there’s a coding error in his bio where there’s an extra {/b} :0 I like that he was born in the clan, traveled around, and then returned. tells me that he’s wise but probably also sentimental, and he seems like a very sweet little bard, and a talented one at that! I do think a line about how he was excited to have so many new stories to tell his friends and family might fit in here well!

Next, I went to see Aisling- I’m a sucker for pearl. I love Dream walking, it’s such a fun concept, and a dream walker who doesn’t want to dream walk is very cool. But his bio feels so unfinished (and maybe it is) but I’d love to know more about how he got his powers, why he was gifted with them, and what exactly it was that made him want to stop dream walking- did it have to do with another member of the clan- does he have anyone to mentor him in dream walking? there’s a ton of potential here, and I’d love to see more!!

Last, I went to check out Hasad. I like the little titles all your dragons have, that’s a very nice touch. He’s a softie with a rough exterior, huh? that’s so cute.... i love him. I really like all the botb stuff in your lore! botb was so wild haha. I’d love to see a story about him fighting and why he got promoted to the royal guard, but toher than that I think his bio is great- it’s very short, though, and he seems like an interesting and sweet character- but why did he get that rough exterior in the first place? to protect himself, or maybe to protect others? Might be interesting to explore!

that’s all I’ve got for now, but I hope this is useful and interesting to you!!
