Basic Information
Thelisan's calendar is similar to our own, but there's more changed than just the names. It is a lunar calendar, always beginning a month on a full moon, and Thelisan's year begins on the Winter Solstice.
While not exhaustive yet, the cast page will cover major characters both in Suncrest's own story and in other Thelisan works.
The Life of a Black-Quill

Everyone loves huge wolves. Proud, communal, intelligent; one does not own a warg, one is welcomed by the pack.
Small wyrms, mostly harmless to humans. Friendly, playful, and a little bit mystical. They're also group predators that use herd-and-ambush tactics.
