She becomes entwined with the plots of the Death God, Sawyer, and becomes his ‘drinker’—a person who drinks the blood of a God and gains magical powers, typically in exchange for serving that God. (Pic to the left is a crossover drawn by Rica Sketches. On the left is Requiem.

It’s… Primarina! Prior to her, it was Spheal. For the unaware, I fucking LOVE seals. When I was a baby, the stuffed animal my grandparents put in my crib was a seal, and I grew up attached to that thing.

Lord Williford, Demon Lord of Ignorance Calinthe’s employer, of a sort. He knows that she’s forbidden from using money, so he grants her with all the goods and services she needs in exchange for secrets collected across the dominion. His magic is fueled by secrets, though not all secrets are equal. The disappearance of one of his harvesters is, for some reason, tied to a very expensive secret. If that secret became known to too many people, significant portions of his magic would vanish and leave his realm defenseless. Williford is the man, not the Dragon, though the Dragon wishes you to know that he is a sapient entity who has agreed to let Willy ride on his back.

She plays at being a noblewoman—thus a slave owner—and yet her ‘slaves’ are quite sassy toward her. One also happens to be a shinigami—a servant of the Death God—who she has transformed into a horse. Requiem has somehow gotten the attention of Lord Sawyer, the Death God, and has drank enough of his blood to have Death magic. But what on all the planes could the God of Death want with an Ophidian noblewoman?

She works for both a Demon Lord and a God—seemingly contradictory careers, though few people are aware that her Demon Lord boss is allied to her God. Per the demands of her religion, she does not use money. She makes her way in life by selling knowledge, information, rumors, or by helping people with tasks. Calinthe is intersex, with no reproductive organs whatsoever, but disguises herself as a woman and asks others to use she/her pronouns as a means to hide her identity while in Ophidia. She is a one-of-a-kind hybrid. Her father comes from a species that is commonly believed to be unable to interbreed. Since people have never seen a hybrid like her before, it provokes many into asking questions about her heritage—questions she’s only too eager to answer if it means she gets to ask a question in return.

Her mother Mayume, has built the family’s wealth on their guns and gunpowder manufacturing plant. The mother and daughter duo are the only two living people who know every step in the process of making guns and gunpowder—a secret that some might do anything to possess. Kamiko herself is an octant Mind Godblood with powers of telekinesis. Her mother is a clearblood, suggesting her father was a quarter Mind Godblood, through nobody on Ophidia discusses matters of fatherhood. To them, men are nothing more than animals and slaves. Though Kamiko also sees value in men as chairs and tables.

Zakuro is a merchant of magic, a Godblood who enchants objects with magical effects. As a descendent of the Mind God, the Water Goddess, and the Death God, she has three elemental powers: illusionism, liquid transformation, and enchantment. By herself, she can enchant objects with illusions or with the ability to change one liquid into another. When she partners with another Godblood, she can enchant objects with any ability they are willing to allow. Zakuro was raised in Ophidia, a matriarchal country where women rule over men, intersex, and anyone else they do not deem to be ‘female’, and where Godbloods rule supreme over all. Her mother taught her that Zakuro was superior to all clearbloods and men—all while abusing her and making her believe she was unworthy of being loved.

I am a creator of fantasy worlds and a voyager to the worlds created by others. I spend much of my free time writing, reading, watching anime, and playing video games, all usually of the fantasy genre. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and currently work the night shift at a blood bank, meaning I am most definitely a vampire. https://www.authormccorkle.com/merchants-series-4 daily 0.75 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/a5655dcc-a80d-427e-993a-343d6e9a926c/BookBrushImage-2023-10-1-11-1016.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic On one of the many planes of the Pentagonal Dominion, priestess Calinthe trades in information, collecting valuable secrets for her demonic employer. Calinthe has a secret of her own: she's intersex, making her a target for the matriarchal slavers of the Ophidian Plane whose territory she must cross in her search for hidden knowledge. But thanks to her friend Zakuro's illusions, Calinthe presents as a woman—a comfortable, if furtive, existence in a world determined to bring her to heel. But when, instead of a mere secret, the priestess uncovers an incalculably powerful artifact, Calinthe finds herself in a high-stakes negotiation with the same matriarchs who sought to enslave her. On the table: Calinthe's discovery, a charm powerful enough to transform a mortal into a god… against a secret so deadly it could quell all life on every plane of the dominion. If Calinthe plays her cards perfectly, she and Zakuro could escape Ophidia wealthier than either of them ever dreamed possible. But if she plays them wrong… …she'll learn slavery in her pursuers' hands is a fate far worse than death. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/afb84987-d22a-45d4-b547-988951d8a1bb/Calinthe+by+inkxia.jpeg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe by Inkxia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/5429d7d4-f9e9-4718-99b8-77fb6ae6f609/Calinthe+and+Zakuro+by+Jules.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe and Zakuro by Jules https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/7e941a50-7b5c-4fc9-9ab0-c58561ab30c8/Williford+by+McKenzie+Austin.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Williford by McKenzie Austin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/cde9617c-87e4-4086-850d-6215f55b326d/Arria+by+Skye+Kelrose.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Requiem by Skye Kelrose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/3618ab16-f5b1-477d-b21e-b94e6d5554e4/Calinthe+by+Aureolin.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe by Aureolin Flax https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/6357e577-28bd-46e8-b0bb-5fabd5af4935/Zakuro+by+Taenth.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Zakuro by Taenth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/c33c43be-4cc8-4a5f-bfcc-ddf7715ce8b2/Zakuro+by+Matt+DeMino.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Zakuro by Matt DeMino https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/0dd643a2-4088-4963-b222-37d33b971f07/Williford+by+Flare+Star.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Williford by Flare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/bcca8100-efd4-45d7-9e22-1e4c9b849c70/Lord+Selfishness+by+Vii+big.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Lord Selfishness by Vii Morte https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/3b11a4e8-9733-4e7a-8901-58b2421d71e9/Lord+Selfishness+and+Vivea+by+lgfih.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Lord Selfishness and Vivea by lgfih https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/509c2a81-19d2-4f46-8ecc-02e4bdcc2006/Arria+by+Vii+Morte.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Requiem by Vii Morte https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/ff48ebab-ef23-4af8-a76a-24b6e9855949/Kamiko+by+Des+Astor.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Kamiko by Des Astor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/43511450-7324-4039-bf0b-08d97521984d/Kamiko+by+Aureolin.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Kamiko by Aureolin Flax https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/2c7c7fd1-32ae-449c-bb18-d08d5211c9aa/Calinthe+by+SA.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe by SAStudioADHD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/915d493b-c725-49fe-9b1f-856ee54e6c0e/Calinthe+and+Zakuro+by+Jeyra+Blue.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe and Zakuro by Jeyra Blue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/50af1b5d-6e18-4183-a0d0-46fb20c8322a/Kamiko+by+Nercassa.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Kamiko by Nercassa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/7a144d86-8ea2-4802-9235-f04d19f58739/Calinthe+by+Anny.png Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe by Anny https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/acfa3c61-c8c6-4f47-8129-bc35f38a7612/Calinthe+and+Zakuro+by+UrbanKnight+%28Axel%29.jfif Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Calinthe and Zakuro by UrbanKnight (Axel) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/9eb72ace-1736-4c90-8e18-fa0c4106fd88/Kamiko+by+Taenth.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Kamiko by Taenth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/680aeb73-f8ce-4b67-8e8f-41118bdc6ac3/Kamiko+by+Vii.jpg Merchants of Knowledge and Magic Kamiko by Vii Morte https://www.authormccorkle.com/merchants-series-2 daily 0.75 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/6c769562-d6a8-427d-821e-78888a16a056/BookBrushImage-2023-10-1-10-5149.png Merchants of Light and Bone Sorrow in paradise A parent’s worst nightmare When grief drives one to revenge Living in a tropical paradise with his spouses and kids, Amiere is a merchant of light, a sculptor who carves glowing crystals into spectacular and powerful, demon-killing works of art. When the ground opens up near his idyllic village to reveal a massive supply of crystals, the whole nation of Aloutia celebrates. The merchants are guaranteed money for decades and officials predict Aloutia will be safe from demonkind for generations. But Amiere isn’t rejoicing—when the ground split apart, his seven-year-old daughter fell to her death. Amiere’s grief turns to rage when an old enemy returns to the village with a young daughter displaying signs of starvation and abuse. Having witnessed his own daughter’s death, Amiere cannot bear the thought of watching another child die, especially when he can prevent it. Unable to ask police for help due to the village’s reputation of hostility toward authority figures, Amiere takes matters into his own hands, even at the risk of being exiled and separated from his family forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61471e34d30b5270eadb79f5/3473289a-3109-4c63-b28a-68e9e00a2ab2/Liesle+by+Sidisma.jpg Merchants of Light and Bone Liesle by Sidisma
