Tweaked Sayings

Some Idioms have had the species or wording replaced. Both versions of the saying are correct, and it typically depends on the speaker for which they use.

Like a mermaid and a Dragon

Two peas in a pod

You can lead a hatchling to water, but you can't make him drink

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

The replacement of 'two peas in a pod' is due to how mermaids and water dragons cohabitate and live in pods, which is linked to the wordplay of the original.

Specifically with the latter, the hatchling comment is made by dragons, usually parents or guardians due to how difficult children can be to reason with. Most other beings will simply use the default horse or allma.

A Common Saying With a Bit of Vulgarity

While not exactly idioms, there are exclamations regarding the Ley-Lines of Isidoro that are common sayings. There are sixteen (16) points in the ley-lines in total, but there are nine (9) that are considered holy. They are the farthest landmass and sea points, along with the Nexus. The typical swears and curses remove the Nexus from the count, and keep it to 8. For example:
Eight Hells, or Sixteen Hells if they are particularly angry. It is equivalent to 'damnit' or 'hell', and an expression of frustration.
