Ah-Lamora - Page 100 Contest!!

Mon Oct 5, 2009, 7:17 AM
Updating Every Monday!

On a whim, I've decided to hold a contest in honor of Lamora's upcoming 100th page! :w00t:

Not many rules for this contest, just draw some Lamora fanart of any kind and submit it! :D Sky's the limit!

The deadline will be the day the 100th page comes out which, according to my calculations will be November 16th!

There will only be a prize for the first place piece, I will draw anything you wish in full detail, color, the whole shebang! And if I can't descide on one winner, since all fanart is freakin' awesome, I will ask my dearest to make the second prize :D

When you've finished your art please let me know on my main page :iconlynnlamora:

Enjoy! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! :excited:

*****

I'm going to be putting a lot of work into making this page more informative and the world of Lamora deeper in detail:

:bulletred:First, I plan on creating pages detailing the world that our favorite characters come from, explaining the geography, govornments, religions, flora, fauna, and jobs that can be found in every region! Should be exciting yes? :D
:bulletred:Second, I want to create better and more in depth character profiles starting with the main cast and eventually moving on to the others.
:bulletred: Third, I will be doing more Desktop Wallpapers sporaticlly, starting with Tandem whom I said I would do a loooong time ago.

But I can't do this alone!

I need help from all Lamora fans! Get your other friends, family, and watchers involved if you want to! I would REALLY like to hear what you the fans want to learn about in the world of Lamora! :excited:

If anyone has any suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to note me on my main page :D

PS. If you want your opinions to be met with faster responses DO NOT note me here ^^; I don't log in on this account during the week other than to upload Lamora pages on Mondays!

What would I want to hear from the world of Lamora?
Well, I as a animal-lunatic would love to hear more about the animals of Lamora.
How many dragon species are the Gurthanians living with? Do the Rowelian have underwater-pets and other animals other than the Biettas to ride?
How do the farm animals look like? Are there any ordinary farm animals like pigs, cows, chiickens and so on? Or are there others?

What would also be interesting are the different festivities of the races.
Do they celebrate every single birthay or just certain birthdays like the tenth, the twentieht....the thousandth and so on? I mean, don`t their families and friends run out of ideas for presents, when they turn one thousand? Do they celebrate new year? Or new century perhaps?

Or take their traditions for example. What are their children and teenagers allowed to do at what age? Can they only marry when they are hundred years old or sooner?
Is it enough if one of the couple is already hundred and the other one, let`s say, eighty? (That would interest me for my "Memoirs of a Sagess" series).
How do they handle the passing away of old people? How are they buried? Do dead Gurthanians get burned and their ash is thrown into a volcano? Do Rowelians get their decendents sunken into the depths of the sea? It would be especially interesting to hear how a deceased sages is buried. How are women and children threated in the races in genera? Are Gurthanian kids get beaten when they disobey, as I fear has happened to Myla when she showed her powers to Lynn? Do Juthanians teach their offspring to communicate with animals and plants or does this happen on it`s own? What are the general superstitions of the Merakians? Do they fear meeting Gurthanians on a Friday 13th?
Are they afraid of white cats coming from the left?

All of these things would be nice to hear about.

:giggle: Interesting questions! More than likely I will be redoing the race pages to fit in more of this detail better describing their govornments, religious practices if any, and social constructs :D

As far as the animal life goes I won't be describing more than one or two per race. Only the more important animals to the cultures will be drawn or described in any detail. Making every single animal possible in this world would just be too much! :faint: I will leave that to the imagination ;)

I will answer some of those other questions right here since they may be needed for your story sooner than I would get around to making the new Juthanian page :)

In regards to the ages, childhood spans from birth to 20 years at which point Lamorans appear to be around the age of 12 by human standards.
Teenagers range from 40-80 but once they hit 80 they are considered young adults but not yet full adults who are allowed to travel outside the borders of their given land. AS we know they reach that at the age of 100 :D

Relationships depend on the race. As for the Juthanians, they are a very family oriented culture, they have big families and often marry young too in order to have such families.
In their culture they are allowed to marry as young as 80 and since Lamorans live so long age gaps aren't really taken into consideration in that area of life. Though of course if some old geezer of 800 wanted to marry a young girl of 80 there would be questions... and that goes for all cultures :XD:

Also as a hint for you, Rylen is the youngest sagess because her mother dies young, pretty much forcing her into the position since her father cant take the position being a person of of god-blessed power. When that is and how it happens I will leave up to you since I never really specified those details :)

Old people when they die, by Juthanian standards they are buried to become one with the earth again. They don't have cemetaries and bodies can be buried wherever the deceased wished to be buried as long as it was withing Juthanian lands. Some families may wish to all be buried together or only under certain trees but that falls under personal preference. The only nation wide practice is that they are always in the ground.
When a sage or sagess dies there is always a nationwide funeral, which is followed immediately by the naming of the next sage or sagess. Juthanians believe in reincarnation so death is just the beginning of a new life. There is still mourning but they do not wear black or decorate with somber colors. Being down to earth people they will simply wear their usual raiment.

Juthanians do not cummunicate with plants or animals. They may be close to nature but not THAT close. Animals do not fear them and they are naturals at gardening but as far as talking to wildlife that's a no :D

Hope that helps! And I do intend on making the archery festival officially a part of the Juthanian race ;) Thanks for all your help and inspiration!
