WE 2021 Reading Challange

For my Reading Challenge I decided to read some recommended articles, check out some user streams, and scour people just above 10k, there is some gold there.
Creativity of this community will never cease to amaze me.  
The Dwarven Twists
Tradition / Ritual | Oct 13, 2022
  Awesome article with detailed as mostly realistic social and traditional system of Beard hairstyle. Inspired me to expand upon my ideas of Makua - tattoos of Sea Elves and other people of Flying Archipelago, and Rings of Goblinkind - jewellery worn by various goblinkind species, denoting their social status. Both are early WIP.  
High Vampires
Species | Jan 6, 2022
  Short and concise article about Vampires, very informational, maybe a little dry. Similar to some of my articles about species.  
Morley-Wright's
Organization | Dec 3, 2021
  Article of a staff member, lets give them some love too :)
A story about a family feud with happy ending, Well, I will be damned.
The article inspired me to work on inter-family politics of Farflare (onto the todo list - sigh)  
Placeholder: City Name
Settlement | Jan 2, 2022
  Well thought out, interesting city, It is somewhat funny that all the district names are awesome but city name is still placeholder. Organizations in the city seem to be thought out and quite interesting. Even thought this article still seems WIP this city already feels full of interesting characters. Will definitely take pointers for Terdaal  
Pathfinder Legion
Organization | Dec 7, 2021
  Organization of space rangers (of sorts), I like detailed command structure, defined goals. The ethics code (rules of engagement as well) is a nice detail and addition. In LN there is explorers organization - Farstrides, which will definitely benefit from some inspiration from this article.  
Ye Musical Doom
Myth | Dec 18, 2021
  Nice myth, with good historical foundations. Also I find both the name and the myth itself just hilarious. My world is missing these kind of legends (todo list...)  
Sky Rider Signaling
Language | Apr 5, 2022

In the sky communication is very thing, but where voices can be silenced by the roaring wind ones hands and arms are need to speak without words

  Great article about hand signals for flying cavalry. It is very logical in all details, well thought out historical origins, difficulties and limitations. Inspiration for some military signals, mostly for Akhatai military.  
Wishes
Condition | May 18, 2022

The power of the Djinn is vast, but the conditions of their wishes are theirs to interpret...

  Article about Djinn wishes and how it is a dire idea to make one. Opening excerpt is great and funny. The hierarchy of Djinni based on tricking mortals and sometimes granting great wishes is a cool idea as well.  
The languages of the empire and translation magics
Language | Feb 3, 2022

Arianian and Southern are the two official languages of the empire but are far from being spoken by everyone, and what dialects one speaks influence their social standing. Luckily, translation magics are available for the richest.

  Quite an interesting, kind of medieval look at the language, with mass of dialect and external nobility that often cannot speak it. Also a short profile of "definitely-not-a-serial-killer" noble lady. Makes me think how to make language more interesting (annoying for players).  
Obvion Complex
Building / Landmark | Dec 21, 2022

An ancient ruin of a settlement, designed like an inverted ziggurat to allow terraced farming that contains its own dire threat in the shadows...

  Informative article about a fascinating ruin, quite creepy as well. Tons of great historical information, great excerpts and quotes. Jelly Filled Pastries.
