The corvids, the kingfishers, the quetzals, the milvine kites, the osprey, the king penguin, the terns, the hoatzin, the pigeons, all galliforms, all palaeognaths. Probably the genus Milvus, if I had to pick one...
Dionysou
Dionysou, I have suggestions for modifying the bestiary's wording. Mind if I share?
Go ahead
Chimera description includes "bazar," should be "bizarre."
Phoenix description includes "firey," should be "fiery."
Longma description includes "mortal," should be "immortal," especially if slimes are (immortal).
Edit: these are suggestions, not demands.
Logma are not meant to be classified as immortal, theyre just horses
If they're just horses, why do they have an entry in the bestiary...?
Because they're magical horses? They spit fire? Dragon Scales? They're cool?
Unicorns and pegasi are just horses too.
Also, immortal animals in the dispatch can still be killed, they just don't die naturally.
Hello!
So... why are you bringing there horse-ness as an argument against immortality status? It seems unrelated. They clearly are magical creatures as you say.
Yeah, that sounds like that fits how longma should be, right? They don't die naturally?
Because... They're just horses? Like the longma?
Riko Republic
Heyo
Anyways thanks for noticing my grammatical mistakes, I definitely wouldn't have so I'll fix that.
Coastal States
What? Anyway, I suggest longma should be immortal, since in mythology they don't die naturally, and slimes are listed as immortal. Seems there was some confusion.
There was no confusion. I was not completely loyal to the mythological lore for most these animals. Slimes are barely alive, they can only die via being burned alive. The longma is just a horse with a dragon head, despite what it's original mythological sources say it was not meant to be immortal on the bestiary.
Coastal States
Good evening Astoria :3
Coastal States
Yes, I understand these aren't 100% copy-pastes, because in myth, they would also be unkillable.
Finally, any criteria for bestiary additions? Is it based on preference (or inspiration from art)? Will there be a submission process?
Don't sweat it if you can't answer definitively.
Dionysou
You're allowed to suggest whatever, if anyone wants to dm me on Discord suggestions or telegram me I won't turn anyone away. Doesn't mean it will be added, but you can propose whatever to be added. I prefer it to be from actual mythology and not custom or from games and so forth. Any suggestions will be discussed with the mod team before their addition, and if you write your own descriptions for them all the better since it does my job for me and I'll be more likely to support it's addition ;3
Coastal States
The calygreyhound was quite a headturner for me, I'll be on Wikipedia a bit more lol (looking for more cool ideas)
I couldn't find much on it, it was mostly just used on old coat of arms and symbology and not like a real mythical creature
Coastal States
y'all should look up gef the talking mongoose, its not exactly a mythological creature per se, but I think the concept of a snarky talking mongoose as a species of Astralis would be really cool

Norinsk
Kashyyyk
The Hiramite Valley is home to vast farm lands where corn, wheat, and other grains are grown along with chicken farms and sheep ranching. Nestled among these rolling hills and huge farms is the town of Hiramite. Second only to Dublinshire for being the smallest of the major cities, it is home to grain mills and wool processing facilities to name a few of its major industries. But its biggest claim to fame is that it is home to the Byzantine Unions military academy.

Jupiter, love the bands in its atmosphere. That and it has a storm that's 3 times larger than Earth.

Really cool region. Goodbye and have an angelic day !
Edoardienne, Mirstein
Due to the climate of the Empire, there is no region that is called a breadbasket. The closest thing the empire has to a breadbasket is in the eastern regions, where the land is more fertile, but even the majority of land there is used for other things. The staple crop of the Empire is Millet.

wish.com question of the day :3
if you could start and end a book with the same sentence, what would it be?
my answer would be something along the lines of "everything was normal."
Unclear, Astorian Djas
Mine would maybe be "Don't ingest lighter fluid."
more humorous than i was expecting, but I would definitely read a book that started like that

[table][tr][td]RP Prompt of the Day[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]What city is considered your nations principle financial center? Where is it located? How did it end up this way?[/td][/tr]
[/table]
Navea, Velhkaiddia, Unclear, Norinsk, Byzantine Union Of Confederate States, Calidur, Woopera
Dionapolis, both the capital city and principle financial center. Dionapolis has always been a major city in Dionysia, under the Principality of Athonia it was the largest trade port due to it's location on the Strait of Hellenos. Now it's the largest port and city in the entre nation by land area and population.
St.Peter, Moscow, St.Peter Port, Novorossiysk and Kazkuistan. Moscow, St.Peter and St.Peter Port are from the west side and Novorossiysk and Kazkuistan are from the east side. St.Peter, St.Peter Port, Novorossiysk and Kazkuistan became a financial center in Russian, due to the railway revolution that connected each city with the fastest support in transport from big Industrial Mining and Goods that make up a huge network in supplies and economy to the city ports. The Great Russian Empire is Biggest Industrial in Goods and Mining, more than 10,980 Industrial was established in Russian. Ports and Railway play the biggest role in the Great Russian Empire economy, that trade in the west, or south to north. Since the official telegram was made, many cargo and navy ships use it as a guide to the ports and it is also used for weather updates, about 4,570 Ports and 75 connect network tower was was established in Russian ports or even railways in late 1791-1800s.
Jobi, Dionysou
True Grit, the largest city in Unclear by area and by population, with over than 1 million more people than New York City in the United States, is the largest financial center in Unclear, and it is a sizable trade port, although it is in the center of the country, thanks to the Ned River, which runs from Harvey City in the west, through True Grit, and empties into the Larry Bay, near Larry Center (Real Life Amsterdam), which feeds into the North Sea. (Note: I forgot to mention that Harvey City is in the real life Brittany region in France.)
Jobi, Dionysou
West Kovanias breadbasket is in the south east of the country as that is the only area in the country that still has fertile land not polluted by the vast amounts of industry that contribute to the state
Jobi, Rosartemis, Dionysou
Yaakenulla, is in the north of Norinsk, known for the complete absence of war and very civilized people, It's considered the principle financial center due to the fact of it bordering the ocean, making in very accessible, not only it borders the ocean but the Kraaltja river flows from Yaakenulla all the way to Krytzanka, Krytzanka is the biggest city located in north Norinsk. Many Norinskians use the Kraaltja river as a traveling method since the weather is very good for traveling. And since Krytzanka was always a economic power, because of the fact it's very safe it is ranked as the principle financial center
Rosartemis, Dionysou, West Kovania
Mākārāt. given its the safest city in Azhania and is the most well defended (there's a big ahh wall surrounding it), it only makes sense for it to be the principle financial center, its located smack at the end of the peninsula, given its hard to reach location by land, along with the natural mountains and valleys that protect the country from invasion, it makes Mākārāt the safest place in the nation, therefore its the best financial hub
Rosartemis, Dionysou, West Kovania
