Courses

Course	Teacher	Other Students	Schedule	Notes
Applied Enchantment V	Prof. Alzagond	Esory, Rhedwy, Irigatur	Every morning at dawn	Every morning, at dawn, now and for the rest of my life probably. Bah. I need to hold plays and parties in the early evening. Or take naps.
Independent Study on Nendrai	Prof. Wynge	Seeks-Little-Piggies, Rhedwy, and Fiarel (when she bothers showing up in our reality, which isn't very often.)	Every 9th day, afternoon, in the buttery	Mostly an excuse to write up our paper about what Txiane did to Vae.
Sorcery in a Present Time	Dargwyn	the usual suspects	1st and 14th of every month	Another excuse to turn a miserable reality into course credit, and, in this case, to satisfy my ~mother~ about taking enough magic courses.
Herbador, Music, and Religion	Vizz	Zanniajaia	late on the 2nd, 5th, and 8th days	Well, this one fits my schedule, has a cute Orren girl in it (is she traff? Would she appreciate an offer? I still have no idea!), and is at least nominally a magic class. It's a very confusing topic -- what does plant magic have to do with music? What does music have to do with religion? For that matter, the connections between plant magic (viz. manipulating the goddess Lenhirrik into doing things) and religion (viz., honoring and petting the gods) isn't that strong either. Vizz is a young professor and nobody has much to say about him. Anyways, it fits my schedule, and I might as well know something about music.
The Economics of Cley	Briz-Thammuz	Jrakh, Dustweed	After Herbador, Music,and Religion	This one would have been very practical when I was boinking dating Ilottat. It is all about various strategies for how to get the most out of your cley. I'm sure it will say, "Arise at a third of an hour before dawn and use every last cley you have." Every day for the whole term, yet. Addendum: Actually, having gone to the first session, it's not just about that. There are lessons in meditation (which is all to the good) and feather casting -- feather casting! -- which I suppose I should know more about.
An Introduction to Marine Biology	Oomer Oolumb	lots of cute Orren	1st and 4th of the week, after lunch	Some days I amaze myself with my brilliance. Some days I stun myself with my stupidity. I'm not sure which one this is. If I want to meet Orren, why not take a Marine Biology class? ... I can even go on the field trips!

I would imagine that herbador would be almost critical to your modern equivlent music world. I mean, think about it. Half the instraments on this world are made from plant matter. Heck, we have a whole family of instraments called WOODWINDS! Of course, magic dealing with plants would be signifigant in music.

Stray thought. Using it to create reeds that would play tunes as the breezes blow through them, using the wind of the world to create music. I know someone's tried it on this world, but I can't help but think it would work better over there.

Considering prehistoric evidence on this world, also, music and religion are always tied together. Considering that your world is effectivly just one huge tree, I can't imagine your religion NOT revolving around it, even with your pesky gods. :D

I would think that it would even be obvious to you why it is the way it is. Of course, there is two problems. 1) I don't see you joining a 'band' class. 2) Entering a class just so you can try to date a girl always spells Doom, on any world. :D

"honoring and petting the gods". I like that as it matches how I feel about the various god choices on my world. Damn insecure deities! -ba

I do hope your ~mother~ doesn't discover your intentions with some of your classes. Also, sticking to Orren isn't, um, Orren-y enough. Then again, you'll probably just swear off them forever again. -Zhal

Where are you going to find a marine to study their biology? Or an ocean, for that matter?

[kris-schnee.livejournal.com]

I've been wondering about that. We know there are rivers and sizable ponds, but where would there be anything approaching what we'd call an ocean? Would it be salty? Would it have finely-powdered dirt instead of sand? You just wouldn't have a typical terrestrial beach scene on the Tree, although the Orren kind of make up for that.

Just a bad translation.

There are big lakes. I don't know of any salty ones -- or any vanilla-flavored ones for that matter. Beaches are usually muddy, or have boardwalks and decks if they're nice -- or grass! -- but I have seen sandy beaches.

Wow... I wouldn't imagine much sand is on the World Tree. Unless the sand is more like sawdust than terrestrial sand?

When I first the soil composition, I pronounced humus as hummus.

[sythyry.livejournal.com]

Which is not as far off as it might be...

Soil is some fraction sand. [Most of the stony stuff on World Tree is sand]
