The Arashi League
Gato Blanco:
Airship captains get killed three days before retirement. Always. xD
All this talk of duality brought this quesiton to mind (Duno how....): About 1/3 of the cities are by the sea, 1/3 are by an inland body of water, and 1/3 of the cities are not located near any large bodies of water. Does this cause a schism between the cities in different biomes?
Furthermore, the capital, Alleron, seems to be located outside the boudaries of the League in this map

Furthermore, its also quite isolated from the majority of league lands, atypical of a capital city
Clara Skyborn:
That map is a lie. We probably shouldn't have published it. But oh well!
Gato Blanco:
UR MAPS LIE!
Furthermore, I noticed I said "Furthermore" twice in a row, it was late, I was tired.

Tim, I've just had an interesting conversation with Gomidog, our resident Japanese translator. I was translating Hikagebashi as "Shadow Bridge," so I was surprised to hear you referring to it as "Sunshine Bridge." She clarified that it's more literally "Sun-Shadow Bridge," as in "shade from the sun," so there's definitely a bit of dark/light duality there. Veeery interesting.
This also led to the possible alternative translation "Shady Bridge," which we agreed sounds like a retirement home for old airship captains.

My wife said it was most likely "Shaded from the sun bridge" as a direct translation and I ignored her and said "Sunshine bridge is plainly what she did not intend, so thats what I'm calling it."
Japanese is FUN! It also plays into how Japan came out of Nipon, just bad, bad localization.
Lord Dick Tim:
So I loved the recent Arashi league post by muse, really opens the Arashi to have tons of different small cultures and traditions living beside one another.
What do people think some of the larger cultural groups might be?
