In Hartura, there are a lot of medicinal plants and the best healers are the Sisters of the Thresholds who embody the thresholds we cross in life and can be called upon for the deepest healing

Oh #DecemberWorldBuilders!
Hartura is similar to Earth's iron age in tech. Except this new faction seems to be able to find those with magic in the most uncanny way....
Which is not great news for the #dragons

Love this #DecemberWorldBuilders question! We don't know much about humans, but...

#Dragonlore says the first dragon was born of the first flame.

When lightning struck the ground for the very first time, the first dragon was born connecting Earth and sky

First book up on #Kickstarter!

Hello, #DecemberWorldbuilders! Tell us about the creation of your people according to the in-world lore. Were they created by gods? Did they evolve from single-celled organisms? Maybe a bit of both? Maybe they don't know, and maybe they have stories about it. What are their creation myths?

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

It's #cybermonday and #WorldAIDSDay so, let's destigmatize HIV, remember those we've lost and support independent , local businesses today! 🎀💅

Are you or do you know a small business doing the work of de-stigmatizing HIV? Comment or repost to let us know!

For #RochesterNY we have so many, this has to continue in the comments:
Start the day off with brunch and books at Bookeater...
Then stroll down Monroe and stop by the Archivist, Rick's Recycled books, and visit to the Monroe branch of the library (so pretty!)...
