hihello doing this on tumblr so nobody feels Obliged to read it but pocket world lore below the cut
so since the pocket world is pretty heavily inspired by my own dreams, stands to reason that dreams/consciousness would play a pretty big role in the structure of the world which is displayed the Triple Structure which is sort of like this (oversimplified but it works ig):
1. the "real" world, where everything is more or less solid, stable and 'real'. you cant necessarily change things just because you believe them or directly shape the world around you with your perceptions. some of the instability leaks through as magic but its still somewhat bound by rules. somewhat.
2. the Dreamworld, which isn't exactly a dreamworld at all but its sort of the intermediary between the real world and the world of raw consciousness. many things of strangeness and wonder are possible here. was created by maud and is ruled over by the lord of ways
3. Behind The World, the tapestry-backing, the world that's more or less the collective Soul of the world. technically governs everything and can be changed with a touch a word a whim to purposes you can't really predict. its the hardest of the three levels to properly describe and quantify . kind of like the collective subconscious in a way but for everything in the entire world including inanimate objects. its sort of god.
the dreamworld was Kind Of created by maud, who is kind of a reflection of it as well (she is the god of dreams and greed and madness and hunger and many many things. we go way back maud and me <3) but she was tricked by the lord of ways and destroyed, torn into the different aspects of herself to keep her from devouring the real world and turning all the layers of the world back into a sea of god and dreams (which begins the apocalypse cycle. if such a thing could be said to Have a beginning)
orc (better name pending) cultures as a whole are matriarchally organized; while the classic dichotomy between perisex bodies remains, women here classically take the role of being naturally cleverer and the only ones fit to hold positions of leadership, academia, et cetera, and 'hold the reins' of their men to control the simpler strength. (obviously this is as much of a socially simplistic and harmful view as patriarchy is but i digress here. the orcs are supposed to be believable cultures not my idea of a feminist utopia.) (also obviously things shift across history this is just the broadest strokes)
the person with the most respect in a community would be the grandmother-figure whose age and experience will have theoretically conveyed to her wisdom to govern her family or clan. priests, teachers, philosophers, generals and scientists are stereotypically older women + breasts and vulva imagery tends to be associated with wisdom and power
baby sack concepys featuring baby qerda as my model. + the specific prayers to a household deity are a qerda's mom thing (bc she is an orc) but theres superstitions anyways about embroidery on your baby's clothes
when she was a baby her ears were really floppy which is nirmal mountainfolk things. + newborn orcs are usually only very finely fuzzed (only slightly thicker + longer than a newborn human) but as they grow they get their first coat which is very wispy! chick style. throughout toddlerhood the fur changes to a more adult length(short) and texture

^these are the viyaïr btw. theyre very large and definitely do not fit in the hand. inhabiting the montane tundras of the central mountain chain, they are herbivorous and social animals that live in small packs.
after the collapse of the 'wizard-king' empire, the city of voynen seems to have been deserted for as long as three hundred years, although records from thevrit mention that the vithayvri expeditions encountered a herdsman grazing his flock in the ruins of the city's fabled palaces. indeed, in the ancient world, voynen is often relegated to little more than a footnote; with the locus of cultural and economic power shifting to tuthar, at the far end of the river.
the primary reasoning behind the great house war (current local term) was a combination of the weakening of the house of three's cultural & thus economic and military power and the territories that tuthar has functionally colonized beginning to grow restless. although there have in the past been countries that say, refuse to pay their tithes and tributes to the house, this was further exacerbated by the house of three trying to reclaim its power by violent force. this didnt go well for tuthar or really for anyone
the weakening of the house's cultural power was influenced by a lot of factors, but one of the most visible ones was the meteoric rise & fall of a figure known as the Prophet, who lived about a century prior to the great house war. the Prophet suddenly burst into public prominence as the leader of a doomsday cult, convinced that the world was a dream that everyone in the world collectively needed to "wake up from" in order to free themselves from the horrors of everyday life. although people would convert in incredible numbers after listening to her speak, the Prophet's prominence was as short-lived as it was extreme. after just a few years the Prophet publically recanted her philosophy, claiming that she had been wrong all along, and killed herself in front of a throng of her believers.
however, these events shook the house, and many of its believers. while the prophet had broken a great deal of her posthumous power over her former followers, those she had converted didn't exactly return to the arms of the house of three either. additionally, the violent responses to the prophet and her followers splintered relationships between the house and those who had converted or even just had connections to those converted.

the river vuretho, with certain settlements of interest to qerda & company highlighted.
Tlibrin is Nonnen's hometown. The majority of it's economy is reliant being a stop on the trade + travel route that passes down the river. This was also it's near destruction during the war, as it was one of the most hotly contested locations during the conflict.
Thevrit is where Calien's mother works as a trade boss. It's relatively large and prosperous, but Calien's mother sent her child to live with relatives in Tuthar at a young age.
Ivredhin is, comparatively, tiny. it isn't even on most ordinary maps, being nothing more than a tiny farming village of no more than eight hundred people, compared to the other towns on this map with populations upward of ten thousand. it is also the place that Qerda calls home, despite living on the road and battlefield for the past six years.
additional & silly details: tuthar is represented by a triskelion, as the seat of the house of three & the compass flower is also of a design that originated in tuthar but was heavily popularized & is one of the more ubiquitous map compass designs in the region

fashion bullshit . but her shirt is actually a one-piece undergarment (with a single button on the bottom for closure over the genitals. not much for modesty but its like a compromise between a concept of modesty and practicality) that's commonly worn under other clothing. mildly scandalous of her i guess but its not that bad because she's wearing a skirt over it. the skirt is actually not typical in her area, and is instead something she got from her mother (was raised in a clan of migratory odaq, who wear long skirts). her father actually made that skirt :} the shoes are of a style that were very fashionable in voynen before the war, she's very fond of them because when she was a girl they seemed very glamorous and cool to her.
the flowers & pattern on her skirt is more or less meaningless in immediate life, but the triskelion-like design on her shirt hem is an invocation of the three voynenite gods (her family more or less follows the godling that qerda's mom brought with her, but her father retains a cultural belief in the voynen three)
much more heavily fantastical/mythological. exactly what it says on the tin, it's a cycle of the world's collapse and renewal, as spurred by Maud, who could be called the whole soul of the world. extremely ridiculous and convoluted but its my baby project that i love so much
Mafan: the larval form of maud. a ma aedan orphan child taken in by a convent belonging to an order similar in purpose to the mountainfolk cure-workers. recently afflicted by a curse that is (among other things) peeling her skin away
Maud: maud the devouring, a form of god that happened by a predetermined accident. many shaped and many faced.
Bridge Builder Eight: a little shadow-creature, who scaffolds its existence with a work it has forgotten the purpose of. seeking something to fill itself with to be whole.
Lord Of Ways: The figure of law and death to maud's chaotic attack of living instinct. a spider weaving stone webs to hold the sky up.
Cuyail: caught bridge builder when it fell into the real world and became its first disciple.
an exploration of some of the countries and cultures along the Vuretho river during a perood of social and economic upheaval, through the eyes of four ordinary people.
Qerda: an Odaq woman from a farming village high in the mountains, apprenticed to Ei as a travelling cure-worker.
Ei: A travelling cure-worker (someone who performs exorcisms and occaisonally miracle cures, breaks curses and bestows blessings, a figure equally revered and reviled) drafted into the war with her young apprentice.
Nonnen: a baker's adopted son, who grew up in the steppes and shrubs of the foothills along the river Vuretho. his hometown was one of many that was mostly razed during the war.
Calien: a former dancer in Tuthar, injured in the bombardments of the capital city to such a grevious degree she can no longer perform. she is now returning up the river to a mother who sent her away more than a decade ago.
