Fell off the face of the earth for several weeks, extreme family situation to deal with that took all my time and attention. Now I’m trying to catch up with everything else.
Yes, Blisss concurs with not freeing Miyella now, but cautions against not trying later and thereby violating a Fey-made bargain. I’m posting it IC.
On another topic: Fine map, Quill… I notice the Adamant Sea and the Argent Sea. I’ve mentioned about Blisss traveling widely, and those wide seas remind me to describe how he covers between-continent-size distances.
In other games I’ve played Blisss, he uses his shapeshifting to take on waterfowl shapes that he has seen and learned. He began by following the birds to see where they went. After a time he took those shapes but took his own routes, wherever his curiosity led. Also over time he learned which were the most effective as distance flyers, and used those shapes, as well as the shapes of the aquatic predator birds who followed and chased the other waterfowl – those shapes he used when speed was needed more than endurance.
His two favorites became the canvasback duck, one of the larger migratory birds, that can cover 400 to 500 miles a day (larger migratory birds can fly 10 hours at 40-50mph) and the peregrine falcon, a duck predator that has been claimed to reach over 200mph in a stoop flight, and 100 mph at other times – but not all day!
In this world Blisss would have explored the distant seas and their coastlines (but not so much inland, unless it’s near a river, lake, swamp, or other water), and happens to be right here in our story just by… happenstance, if there is any such thing. If that’s OK with you, Quill, as part of Blisss’ backstory.
