Time for #fantasy #JuneWorldbuilders Day 18!
Pet aren't really a thing around here but there are plenty of instances where families will give food and shelter to some creatures like Cattas (yes they're just cats, but they have scales, not fur).

Enemy monsters? In this world every creature may as well be your enemy. Rule number one, DONT follow the spiders. Or the butterflies. Fun fact: Spider in Folclidg is "Gealglimas".
(Follow the kickstarter btw 💪http://kck.st/3Hdi2Ns)

Our main villain follows the usual fashionwear of the world that I've already shown, though he has a very significant black and red padded coat that will actually be quite important later in the series👀

Another #JuneWorldbuilders post for #Booksky on Day 12!
Anyone that may have read the first book when it was initially published (check the Kickstarter *wink wink*), might remember the description of the Institute uniforms; a waistcoat with the colour of their circle and the Institute black shirt.

Sickness gone, time for Day 11 of #Booksky #fantasy #JuneWorldbuilders
Naturally, many creatures are harvested to make many things. For example, the Fāscelicg [fa-skel-iʒ / fah-skel-eej] has a thick hide often used for producing leather coats for the colder temperatures as well as boots.

#JuneWorldbuilders Day 8
I imagine plenty who might (hopefully) read the book in the future will wonder what everyday clothes are like. Well, here's an example of fancy clothes. Common clothing would be the same in look but less designer. Nobody wears cloaks unless its winter.

#JuneWorldbuiders Day 6! Blessings and Curses
If #Booksky is a fan of a deal with the devil, there aren't blessings or curses but some high level demons can make binding deals. And of course, all come with a price 👀

Another #JuneWorldbuilders Day 5! MCs thoughts on angels and demons.
Since he has two angel friends and one demon friend, his opinions are reasonably neutral. Though being a Warlock means being in the middle of Angel and Demon culture clashes as well.

#Juneworldbuilders Day 4 - Virtues and Sins
In the common tongue, the ranks of the Silver Ward are named for the ideal they represent, followed by phin, meaning "celestial light". One of the orders is the Sīdȳphin, which means "Moral Light".

#JuneWorldbuilders Day 3 - Hierarchies
The best one I have for you today is The Imperium, the governing body of the Dēmonas. The Imperium is made of nine rulers of Abarys who only answer to the god Baphomet (who is technically the High King of the Imperium).

Starting with Day 2: Entities associated with good or evil
The Old Gods as a whole are considered evil by most standards, but Nhiel the God of Teachings is known to be more neutral leaning towards good.

Well for today's #WIPSnip here, our dear protagonist discovers that not only are the other students giving him a wide berth after the events of the last year, but even the teachers are wary of him. How long might this go on? 👀
