From now on I’ll do species updates in blogs like this, including a bunch of updates from different subjects.

Grifix Dreams

This is a new magic manifestation I’m introducing now. All this happens because of their magic flow.

When two grifix that have a strong bond sleep together or close to each other, they can have common dreams! This manifests like a single dream, in which they are both together.

However, this also depends on their state of mind, so if they need some alone time they don’t have this kind of dream.

Grifix Deities

The Grifix never had deities, for they worship their ancestors. But the Queens always played a very important role in the village, and even after their death, their soul will forever keep watch of the village. That’s how, he queens got to be something similar to gods for the grifix. Each king and queen in their history keeps watch of a part of their life. So here’s what each Queen and King is the “god” of:

Starla: Goddess of Day, Light, Sun, and everything that lies on the sky during the sun time.

The Forgotten: Goddess of Snow, Blizzards, Cold and Winter, but also of the home and family.

Umbra: God of Shadows, War and Nightmares.

Rosa: Goddess of Love, Friendship, Beauty and Nature.

Eclipsa: Goddess of Night, Moon and Traditions.

Selenara: Goddess of Stars and Dreams.

Please keep in mind that “God” and “Goddess” are not terms known and used by the grifix. They’re just for you to understand better what they represent ^^

Selenara is still alive, but it’s pretty clear what she will be the “deity” of. She has dreamwalking abilities, though not as strong as Luna’s. Unlike the ponies, the grifix are pretty much able to deal with nightmares themselves (like the humans). Still, Starla has the ability to enter grifix and other creatures dreams, and she can also influence them if needed.

Servants Jobs

This is really important, please read.

There are a couple of grifix that work in the castle and take care of the Queen. Those are the Castle Servants. But what do they do exactly? Well they’re split in a few categories:

CASTLE GUARDS - those are mostly warriors, more exactly guards. Supervisors usually are not sent to do this job. They don’t have this job all the time, only a few of them. All the warrior guards have an order in which they must go and guard the castle for a short period of time (a few weeks). This way there are always guards there to guard the Queen. Those keep watch of her room all night and day, and also patrol the castle. So they pretty much do what castle guards do.

THE CHEF - a grifix which makes food for the Queen and the servants (if you want your grifix to have this job, please pm me ^^ preferably not very young Grifix though.)

COOK HELPERS - grifix that help the chef with cooking.

HOUSEMAIDS - female grifix that keep the castle and everything clean, serve the food, prepare the Queen wardrobe etc.

THE QUEEN’S PERSONAL MAIDS - a few of the best and most loyal housemaids. They are always close to the Queen and she can call them anytime. They keep her personal room clean and bring her food in her room if needed. Help her prepare for the day, and all sorts of personal jobs. They are the closest grifix to the Queen and the only ones allowed to enter her room without permission or when she isn’t around.

LIBRARIAN - the castle has a very important library that contains all sorts of books and old grifix writings. A small section of the library is opened to the other grifix, but the biggest and most important part of it can only be accessed by the librarian, the Healers, Frozen Mountain and the Queen.

I’ll go more into this library in a future post. Also, please don’t create the librarian! I want to make her myself.

All the servants (except the guards, unless they are permanent ones) can live in the castle (they are given their own room), but are also free to live in the village if desired. While the servants are on duty, they all must wear the special feather ornaments which are the castle servants symbol.

The feathers can be any type of feathers, but the little wool balls are always the same colors.

If you want your grifix to be a castle servant, or already is but you want to clarify what exactly their job is, please pm me. Note that if your grifix becomes a servant, their reference will have to include the feather ornaments (you can do a version with and one without). Also if you want your grifix to live in the castle as a servant, just say.

Well, that’s all for today! Have a wonderful day or night or whatever it is where you live ^^

Again, thank you to all the co-owners for ideas and advice, and especially Kazoowary for coming up with the servants roles.
