Did someone inquire about world building because I think someone inquired about world building!!
First, the map;
The story takes place in a small archipelago called Hilswo (hills-woe). Noce doesn't know this because Noce is Noce.
Red dots with blue circles are towns, blue dots with red circles are abandoned towns, and black spots are areas Noce will avoid at all costs. The bigger areas of any importance are labeled.
Due to the less than impressive size of Hilswo, the Capital of the country is the only place with a castle.
The lower half of the country is considered the "smaller" one because most of it is just choked with mountains and trees.
Ports are named for their position. There is no east port because Baseport is best accessed from the east side and there is no north port because mountains.
The climate is moderate, and the archipelago sits a little ways north from the equator.
As for races;
Humans, cyclops, centaurs, satyrs, ningyo, and cursed.
-Humans live in flatlands and treat races as they've been treated, forever. Cyclops are spit upon and they don't oft care about pretty much anyone else.
-Cyclops live in northern areas with moderate weather. They are generally fair-looking. Basically fantasy Scandinavians. Viking theme is already obvious in Noce's design.
-Centaurs are true neutral and the only think they're willing to bend for is purity. In Autumn's village, having no self control is considered bad and there's a lot of urban legends about guys falling hard for pure things and going absolutely apeshit and killing everyone who threatens their precious creature and it's pretty scary stuff. They live in secluded areas like forests, mountains, and cave networks.
-Satyrs are like centaurs mini. Pretty close on the biological tree. They're internationally friendly and are culturally steeped in music. Unlike centaurs, they only live in forestry. This includes jungles, temperate rainforests, tropical rainforests, woods, etc...if there are trees, there will probably be satyrs.
-Ningyo are fishmonkeys that speak above water through whistles. They're friendly beasts and arguably sapient. They can communicate with people, if that is enough. It's rumored some ningyo have the ability to turn human. Ningyo are saltwater fish.
-Cursed are people in the bipedal side of the evolutionary tree (humans, cyclops) that have been cursed or are the children of cursed people. They can manipulate their bodies, replace body parts with objects, and use hides as a tool to transform into animals. Only the last can be passed down to children.
And of course, magic. Magic is almost entirely manipulation of objects, so besides making shit hot or cold there is no elemental magic. Magic is basically all about altering shape. Humans and cyclops cannot cast magic. Cursed are people who can only cast magic on themselves.
Quicknotes;
-Compared to most centaurs, Autumn has shit self-control. Blood pressure skyrocketing is the first aspect trained out of foals (because no one likes an irl HNNNNGH) but he can't even keep that down.
-Noce is not a Cursed, despite the hide.
