The foundation is coming together for Luminesce. I’ve been poring over the my Codex for the perfect verbage for the type of rock I desire. I’m looking for a very specific consistancy and resistance to water erosion. Already I have counted over a dozen pages of words for rock, each is accented slightly differently.  My Codex, which wasn’t in fabulous condition when I found it (as you know) has begun to deteriorate further due to my constant abuse.

The problem is compounded by the fact that D’ni names for different stone and rock are completely foreign to me. I refer to naturally formed stone, not the artificial, D’ni-made material.

My first attempt at Luminesce had me just throwing in the first word for rock I could find that I could accurately scratch out. This time I am indulging my accute perfectionism in hopes that it will lead to a more stable foundation and a more stable Age.

I’ve been searching through the Third Age book looking to see what words its author used. Perhaps I can simply copy over the phrases they use for certain characteristics into my own Descriptive Book.

In any case, I have been feeling very motivated. Mr. Lord’s stained glass piece has fueled my desire to see Luminesce come to life. Thank you again for that my friend.
