#stagnal

Do you know you zawns from your tolmens or your clitter from your clatter? Or do you barely remember learning about oxbow lakes for geography GSCE? Loving this small book that explains the amazing vocabulary that describes the UK’s varied landscape. Particularly liking the term ‘stagnal’ which means ‘living, growing or delighting in a pond, marsh or fen’ - fully intending to be more stagnal in 2021 as I love a good wetland. #uncommonground #landscape #nature #vocabulary #stagnal #fens #books #dominicktyler https://www.instagram.com/p/CL35XishoNd/?igshid=13fzc4q2auxlw

“Restless nights and troubled visions in my head proved to be a malicious witch curse. I have only been hearing rumors that they originate from a twisted mansion present here in Drustvar - I’m glad we’ve left before something worse happened.” - Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, on Waycrest Manor and its twisted existence.

"It was as if I was wearing paper - the winds pierced even the smallest hole in the armor.” - Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, somewhere in the snowy Drustvar mountains.

“..he spoke with concentrated fear in his words, it was true - Nazmir is a prison without iron bars or cells, it twists your mind before it breaks your body, this delusion of freedom.” - Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, late night tavern tales.

“The moon itself cowered behind dark clouds as the night unfolded in this twisted forest - I felt fear for the first time in a long while and it was not for myself, but for my companions. Some of them are not prepared for these woods.” - Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, somewhere in the forest of Drustvar.

Meet the man behind the journal, the Highlander - Stagnal Brent!

“Every moment alone and before rest, I recall those times back home at the farm, when things were simple. Every morning on the field I glanced long at the sunny sky with mere fragments of clouds looming around, until the storm came.” -  Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, memories from the Highlands.

"The terrain here is the true enemy. No wonder the Horde ain’t pluckin’ their head out of their nests when nine out of ten days here soaked us to the point where bein’ underwater felt more dry.” - Stagnal, Beyond the Horizon, enemy territory.
