Here’s one, from The Name of the Wind

“When the hearthfire turns to blue, what to do? what to do? run outside, run and hide

when his eyes are black as crow? where to go? where to go? near and far. Here they are.

see a man without a face? move like ghosts from place to place. whats their plan? whats their plan? Chandrian. Chandrian”

Bonus: Try guessing what it describes assuming you have zero knowledge of the source material.

Having never read the books and certainly not having obsessed over them for years, I have a gut feeling that “Chandrian” means “seven of them”, “chained flowers”, or “Cthaeh listeners”.

  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
