The technological explosion in Knassis has only trickled its way into other realms, and Midonax's society has achieved post-scarcity through magical means, and so he often has no understanding of all the gizmos and gadgets he's beginning to encounter in his ambassadorial work!

In long dialogues i like removing action tags to make sure the back-and-forth makes sense.
I like this section quite a lot.
Im halfway done with the second draft!

I've settled, if I cant make anything better, then this will be my cover! Even though it looks like a strategy guidebook for an obscure warsim tabletop game from 1997. May need some minor tweaks for alignment and such, but I'm satisfied!

The three cities of the foxfolk of Midlaen are far apart, but with teleportation pads on every block, they are a single city: Threesoul. Walking from one end of the city to the other is like starting in LA, stopping for snacks in NYC, and ending Chicago. Don't worry about the huge demonic eye. :)

Jaq'l and Jakari are two Commonwealth realms inhabited by primarily Jackalfolk, but have become home to all manner of strange, mercurial beings which find the jackalfolk to be unusually welcoming and tolerant.
The Jaq'l are a federation of anarchist city-states themed after ancient greece.
