hey hi hello! this is the den of a goblin by name of socket, or a human by name of joey, who may or may not be several dorky arcanists in a trenchcoat
(i can also be found as oddsocket on bsky)
within this den lies an eclectic jumble of fandomposting, wizard appreciation, tabletop and OC yelling, posts that otherwise resonated with me, pretty art, and....just me scrawling on the walls, really (which is to say you will be subjected to my stream of consciousness; i do a lot of introspection and parts work on main, and i also have never been normal about my blorbos or my interests in my life and don't intend to start.) there will be the occasional nsfw post, it keeps the ecosystem healthy.
i draw creachers, monsters, original characters, assorted fanart and a whole lot of pokemon over on my artblog, @electrical-socket ! my tabletop blog is @dark-nat-ones-blessing !
#the my art tag - for when i've drawn things! (i post wips and doodles here that don't always make it to my artblog)

the partition of the Mongol empire sounds like the background of a JRPG. “Long ago there was this guy who ruled the whole world and then divided it up into four parts: the Cold Slavic Forest realm, the Hot Persian Desert realm, the Vast Steppe and Mountain Pass realm, and the China realm” oh let me guess, then he gave each realm a magic crystal that controls the elements
The use of the jadachin* continued long after the Mongols ceased to be primarily shamanistic in faith. Boyle notes that in the late Yuan or Northern Yuan period, the Mongols (who were Buddhist at this time) used them against the Ming. In the Islamic world, jadachin appeared at the Battle of the Mire (1365), in which the Amir Timur (1335–1405) was defeated by the Chaghatayids of Moghulistan. Abu Sa’id, a Timurid, employed jadachin in 1451, not in battle put to produce rain in a desolate area.62 Other evidence suggests that the use of the jada stones became prevalent throughout Central Eurasia after the Mongol Empire, demonstrating once again the cross-cultural importance of the Mongol Empire. Molnar notes that while weather magic appears to be a global phenomenon, the use of weather stones as a “meteorological weapon” appears to be a particularly Inner Asian phenomenon. Furthermore, while there are no pre-thirteenth-century examples of the Mongols using weather stones, the Mongols’ use of bezoars as weather stones spread throughout the empire thereafter.

*jadchin - a bezoar used as a "weather stone" to cause inclement weather
So yeah, they actually did have magical crystals that controlled the weather, at least if you asked them about it...
I actually had no prior knowledge of jadachin but I'm glad to know I give off the vibe of 'well of COURSE he already knew about 13th century central asian weather magic'
