ellarienI took my box-o'-plot on the bus again this morning, stocked with some blank white (plot) and pink (character background) cards. So what did I get all day? Blue (worldbuilding/backstory) ideas, that's what. I had to swing by the bookstore at lunchtime for fresh supplies.
It isn't all there yet by any means, but tantalizing bits keep floating into view, fragments of a fairly intricate backstory without the pieces I need to fit it all together. It seems the wainscot-people, tentatively labelled 'shipwights', have their own motives and history that don't have a lot to do with human wars. This doesn't help much with getting Claris a spine, unfortunately. It did occur to me that she does in fact have good-to-her reasons for protecting her backstage team, but those might not apply to Jorik, whom (I think, but this is a relatively recent revelation) she's never actually met.
