The Echidna lamia is a typical nocturnal opportunist of the Icorogla region, not larger than a house cat. It's common to see a lamia stealing eggs and fruit from a closed market so merchants usually bring some of their products indoors during the night. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding
Gryphons are predatory monotremes of the savanna in the Aywu region, as large as lycaons, living and hunting in groups. Their eggs are very valuable but getting one is hard, since an entire gang defending their eggs can be extremely dangerous. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding

Names like Dryad, Ogre, Skinwalker and Wendigo are given to fanatics and criminals so depraved that they're not considered humans anymore. These names represent the darkest corners of the human mind. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding
Toxic mushrooms make good dyes but applying them on skin may still cause poisoning during the intrusion, so it is safer to use them on hair. The intrusion ritual is not safe, since pigments can reach sensitive parts of the body during the intrusion. #chromaticintrusion #magicsystem
Here are some examples. Jewels can be trading items, so there is variety inside the same region. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #julyworldbuilders
My worldbuilding was not pre-planned, it came out from a joke with my friends: "how would be a scientifically accurate mermaid?" Here are our interpretations. #juneworldbuilders #sedimentarylands
The kappa is a large amphibian of the southern islands. Not longer than 1 m, it's very adaptable, as it's omnivore and can travel from the rivers to the lesser lagoon. The shell is used not for protection but as an expansion of its respiratory skin system. #sedimentarylands #juneworldbuilders
A family of reptiles found in the whole planet are the Wyrms. They are similar to snakes and lizards and range from the small desert wyrms (50 cm) to the largest river wyrm (3 m), called Nøkken. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
Gastornis mirrisi is a large flightless bird of the southern islands. It is domesticated by some people as a labour animal or a pet or even to ride it during long trips. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
The Night Nation is called like this because of the widespread nocturnal fauna. One example is this spider, which exploits bioluminescence to lure its preys. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
Rhizostoma merida is the largest animal in the Sedimentary Lands, reaching a maximum length of 30 m, it's a filter-feeding jellyfish that presents cnidocytes on the whole body for protection and symbiont microalgae to sustain its metabolism. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #junewirldbuilders
"The giant fungus of Icorogla grows when it decides to. Only at night, it lures people with its light and so we dance and play the flute as it allows us to gather its luminous form." Is it true? A bit. Why is it told? It's intriguing. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
Sprites are like stick bugs, they form dense colonies on trees and bushes they eat, mimicking bark and branches. They lay eggs underground and during winter they burrow under the ground or rocks. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
The rabbat lives under the leaves of a coastal plant and is very important for dispersing both the pollen and the gliding fruits with the flaps of its wings. It is also a predator of fish and so controls their populations. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
Spiders keep gardens and houses free from parasites but they are more than helpful creatures, they are bred as pets by Lahjqoel speaking cultures and symbols of the practice of body. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
In the Southern Islands, this shrew-like creature became a skilled climber to capture arboreal invertebrates. Moving with its limbs, tail and trunk, the rhinograde reaches tall branches to feed, blending with the native flora. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #rhinogrades #snouters
This squid is a deep-sea apex predator which mainly feeds on fish and through vertical migrations at night, it finds more preys on surface waters. It is predated by the gorilla-whale, one of the largest animals in the Sedimentary Lands. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
The raiju is an elusive monotreme of the rivers region, with both a beak and small teeth. The beak presents electroceptors to localise preys underwater so, this animal is very attracted by electricity. (Continues in the comments) #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding
The Glaciers regions is part of the Amber Nation. Here life is very slow and people must survive with few things, nonetheless, glacier dwellers are nice and usually share things, even if they won't start any commerciale route. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #photo
#sedimentarylands #worldbuilding The Legend of the Weather Star Around Telra, the southernmost of the Southern Islands, during the winter, some curious animals visit the coast. The island is the only one where snow falls and with the snow, comes the Weather Star. (Continues in the comments)
Coastal children learn how to swim before learning to walk. They are supervised by their parents while they explore the rocky-coastal waters and learn what to eat and what not. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding
Love in the Sedimentary Lands resolves language barriers. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #conlang
The Thunderbird is a herbivorous species found in the Clay Nation, where it feeds on its favourite fruits of the bag bell tree. It is called Wïknoha in Mother Language but its scientific name refers to the loud sounds it makes during the mating season. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding
This painting represents the migrations people took to search for new land and resources, from the western continent Akvanjewa to the eastern continent Icorogla. It is one of the oldest paintings of the Sedimentary Lands. #sedimentarylands #worldbuilding #juneworldbuilders
