Hey everyone, I just figured something out and it doesn't fit into the main site but I'm excited and I wanted to share!
D&D divides its Fae creatures boadly into a Seelie Court and Unseelie Court, based off the Scottish folklore IIRC. In my world, I wanted to keep that general division of "will actively murder you for sport" versus "will probably only steal your firstborn if you make a pact with them", but wanted to find a way to be constructive & creative about it rather than a derivative copy.

That's farther than I got after my full species redesign, but I'm in a weird spot where their "mouth" is 5 lines in a hexagon around their face that they can change the color and brightness of at will, so even the distinction of consonant vs vowel would mean nothing to them so I would have to invent a new word structuring system other than cvc or ccvc(v) etc etc

@MontyWild oh, best of luck with the conlanging! I started one for my Carven but didn't follow through on it since it couldn't have been a spoken language (they're deaf/mute as a species)

I just wanted to say "hi" and "how are you all doing", I've been starting to contribute to the main site over the past few weeks and am really enjoying the community, especially the aspect of recognizing people when I've seen 2-3 of their other answers. Looking forward to becoming one of those recognizable people myself! :)
