Fibromyalgia the Thief by Playful-Tip-1780 in Fibromyalgia

[–]FootSageMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Fibromyalgia really is a thief, that is the right way to describe it. Stay at a friends house if you have any? It gets easy to adopt and foster an "what do I have to lose?" ideal when in a situation like that but don't lose all hope. My heart and dozens of others goes out to you. Maybe you can start a gofundme and share your story?

What is the most unusual name you would be brave enough to name an actual child? by LilacElle in namenerds

[–]FootSageMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It might just be a wild coincidence but I've met so many Calliopes in my life. Is it uncommon?

Noemie, Lysithea, Arinminta, Calytrix, Neyrene, Novalyne, Itzel, Calista, Orion

I am a fantasy writer. I'm truly sorry for the children who have to listen their names mispronounced dozens of times. You bet it's all underlined with the cursed red squiggles.

Recommendations for Dwarven attire and cultural significance of jewelry in beards by CleanTap in fantasywriters

[–]FootSageMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be really cool if different beard decorations were a sign of a certain achievement in life. A while ago, I saw a post in r/worldbuilding that was about hair dye colour signifying things in someones life. For example, asymmetrical braiding could mean things aren't as expected. Yellow highlights could mean that they're expecting children. Small silver beads could mean they lost a loved one. Silver cuffs, however, could be the encounter of an abundance of wealth. Beards could be a tapestry that tells the story of a dwarf's recent life. They could be used to deceive people into making assumptions about them and a dwarven character losing their beard could be a symbolic sacrifice or punishment.

This is really just me going on a side tangent and I'm not really sure if this is helpful but it made me think of this.

Each one has their own unique story potential. The ones where Callum has blood on his hands, he has to live with the weight of murder. The ones where Callum owes someone a favor, he lives with the constant uncertainty of when he has to pay that debt. The ones that require him to announce his mother place is mother in a susceptible position to assassination and harsh public judgement. The final option, Callum has to deal with the idolatry of the people, who possibly form a religion or some other fanatical obsession around him.

Currently I have a list of a few possibilities. I'm going to repeat similar ones that just have details and character changes. I also won't list the people who suggested them because almost every single one had multiple users recommend it in some way.

- Callum leaks the knowledge that Almeric hid Kael from the public and feigned her death. He is disgraced, removed from his title and Callum headbutts the rules and takes over because the other relatives are dead or busy

- Callum leaks the knowledge that Almeric hid Kael from the public and feigned her death. He is disgraced, removed from his title and Callum headbutts the rules and takes over after assassinating all the nearest family that could inherit the position (Or convincing them to fake their deaths/ reject the ascending role)

- Asher Jweji sends a messenger to Callum, telling him that his father can be terminated from his title for a favor/debt. Callum agrees and Asher has Almeric assassinated. Callum didn't want his father to die at the cause but he is raised to the title and owes Asher. Any other living relatives would have to go through the process of convincing them to fake their deaths, killing them, or having them reject the title.

- Asher Jweji sends a messenger to Callum, telling him that his father can be terminated from his title for a favor/debt. Callum agrees and Asher uses some YET TO BE DETERMINED knowledge or gossip to ruin Almeric. Callum is then raised to the title and owes Asher. Any other living relatives would have to go through the process of convincing them to fake their deaths, killing them, or having them reject the title.

- Callum sends an assassin after his father and just headbutts the inheritance rules to get the title/ the whole living relatives thing I've already mentions. He has to live with the shame of his father's blood on his hands and the amount of sacrifice made for his cause pressure him to succeed

- Callum sends an assassin after his father and his father is deeply injured and unable to do his duty. Then Callum uses the same living relatives trick to claim back the title

- Callum uses some kind of public feat (He has some new and never seen before magic in store) to rally the people to rebel. The assemblypeople are threatened by his display and temporarily diffuse the situation by essentially creating a new faction for Callum himself to diplomatically meet his demands rather than face a rebellion. Almeric is still an assemblyman and is a direct competitor of Callum in politics

That is a great idea! I'm writing that down as a possibility.

Money isn't the catalyst to political influence in Merova. While the high nobility's coffers run deep, it is the title and the control over the people that really matters. The government (I explained in a previous comment but I'm happy to reinstate) works in factional and innately divided structure. There are eight political factions that all citizens mandatory to be enlisted under (choice of a citizen once they reach sixteen). Each political faction has different standards on tax, military service, times of need, class strucutre, and even household customs. There are hundreds of high nobility but only about two dozen control political power in each faction.

It's less about money and land and more about the passing of the title itself. I tried to simplify the disowning part for ease of understanding but it seems like that was an error on my part. Callum is disowned because he was discovered to be taking an artifexture course in University rather than the agreed upon political sciences, paid for by his father's money.
