Olore'! Quick question: what do the Mar people of the Utter East look like? Thanks!
1)
Your timing is right on! I JUST got to the box in Shipping Container 1, the long hi-cube, with my Mar notes. Which are scanty. :}
#Realmslore
2)
So: generalizations, of course, but the Mar are a gray-skinned, short, stocky race, with fine, black, almost invisible body hair, “sharp” (thin and pointed) noses and chins, and golden to crimson eyes. Those who’ve interbred…

…with other human races over the years tend to have offspring with dark brown or even tawny-hued skin, and longer, heavier hair.
Music is a big part of their culture. Chanted verses preserve Mar history.

Wolf gives him a look that’s been kept cold at the heart of a glacier for at least an ice age. “MOST helpful, Palonder. Now suppose you be MORE helpful—all of you, of Neverune!—by falling flat to the floor and STAYING there.”

Chant and Palonder comply with alacrity. So does the King—after Chant interrupts his frowning stare at Wolf by reaching up and hauling him bodily down.
“Playing dead?” the Valk of Valk sneers. “THAT’S your response?”

Wolf gives him a Wolf’s smile and collapses sideways to the floor, at the same time lifting his injured, bleeding hand. The rings on it flash and then flare into bright light, he roars in pain, a sizzling is heard that comes…

“Have a care, sirrah! I’m not a man to be laughed at!”
“No? You’ve not seen your face in a mirror?”
“WHAAAT? For THAT, you’ll die SLOWLY!”
“Good, if by ‘slowly’ you mean about sixty years from now. That’s acceptably slow decay.”

The Princess is still keening in agony and hurling sharp steel all over the room rather wildly, so Wolf does something to another ring that makes her disappear.
“The Red Reception Chamber?”
#epicfantasy
2)
“Of course. They should be getting used to it by now, hmm?”
And another ring sighs into sparkling dust that falls from Wolf’s hand.
He shakes his head. “We’d best hurry. I don’t know how fast wizards reassemble.”
#epicfantasy
3)
“Not so fast, miscreants!”
The shout comes from the doorway where the tentacled Princess first appeared. And to be more precise, from the throat of a burly man in gleaming plate armour, helmless and hefting a glowing sword.
