- I .. I believe we finally found the sailors and their ships.

- It's impossible. Where did this egg come from? Why here on the beach? Yet they pushed the last Snallygaster far into the cliffs centuries ago, this should not be possible..

Cahandi, city above the woods

“A huge, lumbering monster, it’s back used as a city. The monster is short, and thick like a turtle. It has ridges and bumps like a turtles shell combined with a camel’s humps. It has many legs, so the ride is less bumpy. Smaller creatures, maybe people, have built a city, somewhat like a harness, so they don’t fall off.” Anonymous

A storm strikes the castle and snow falls here all year round, creating an icy oasis in the middle of the desert. It provides enough water for a dense forest to grow, strange animals to live in, and a no less strange people to thrive. No one has been able to enter the fortress guarded by the giant Dragon, and no one knows if these storms are because of the Great Worm or what might be in the castle. The natives indissociably protect both and worship the one they call 

Lmoodnom, “the-Worm-who-created-the-forest”.

Charfrogs are naturally pyrokinetic creatures, so capable of controlling fire. In addition, their hairy tail can generate a small flame spontaneously : it allow them to burn the surrounding plants to obtain more flame then.  They can create large wings of fire to levitate, and surround themselves with flames.

 In the wild they are not a threat ; their habitat is quite humid, and they use their power only to protect themselves, to intimidate or to flee.  Bur certain technologies can control them : their trainers, called Ashes, destroy everything in their path to increase the power of their monster.

WHAT IF..

..Most of my drawings took place in the same world ? It will be just a general framework that will remain flexible enough for creativity ! Retrospectively I have tagged a few posts here #Hekagea (link to discover some more), but others may come ! The Éphéméride can be include too but isn’t tagged to not flood the other posts.

Map of Hekagea. Nothing precise or even on scale, I just love maps and wanted to do one myself ! If you have time, feedbacks are welcome, I’m not sure about the colors and the stylization and I might need to do another map for a friend later :)

GRÉE

Dans la mythologie grecque, les Grées ou Soeurs grises sont les filles de Phorcys et Céto et soeurs aînées de Méduse et des Gorgones. Ainsi Dino, Ényo et Pemphrédo sont considérées comme des divinités marines, la personnification de l’écume.
