SWORDTEMBER DAY 6 : KNIGHT ERRANT

Inkwell, of stained parchment and falling pages 📜🪶 “All Wandering Scribes feel the Urge. A pull within them to create, document, to record the world around them. Each scribe has a different calling - one might dedicate their life to the decadent underground architecture of the Catfishfolk, another might spend their time recording in great detail each species of hummingbird on The Continent. Each scribe has a purpose, a tome they must fill before their candle is snuffed from this world. But, sometimes, a scribe’s calling might be less academic than that of their peers. What of the scribe who’s Urge is to record legends of swashbuckling heroes along the great winding roads, of wild adventures and heart racing hijinks. You might see these daring figures at the head of their troupe, their parchment skin decorated with katas, foot stances, and blade types. A Wandering Knight. What better way to document legends than to pick up a blade and write some of your own? ”

The pen is mightier than the sword, or so they say. Also, if you like the vibes of the Wandering Scribes, you can click here to check out my free web novella A Map of The Deadlands! One of the main characters is a Wandering Scribe so there’s a lot of lore about them in this story (and also a whole bunch of art and stuff!)

Yesterday’s sword!

It’s a great quality, you know.

My muse will analyze that weapon and say what they like/dislike about it, if they can use it, and if they would use it.

the very CONCEPT of bodyguards is so narratively juicy and excellent, and I don’t just mean like “character x is character y’s bodyguard so they can be in the same place and fall in love”, I mean the protectiveness, the tension of trying to balance personal and professional, the unified dichotomy of devoted guardian/loyal servant!  the power dynamic.
