I've still got a lot of planning for this since I just thought of this last night, but I wanted to write a series of encounters where Quad visits various 'totem' animals and learns from them. This will be similar to
The Trial of the Battle Born (and will include that story as well).
I'm going to work on a synopsis and a list of animals he will encounter in the stories. The idea is that since he has lost his way from the Twin Gods' guidance (Ignoring his responsibility to defeat Iugulare by having a truce with her), they send him on a series of journeys to visit various animals that represent different totems. I'll incorporate actual totem symbolism into the stories as well, with help from a symbolism resource I like called
whats your sign.
So feel free to track this if you'd like, it should end up being something interesting soon.
Animal stories to include (Tentative list) -
Bear
Wolf
Hummingbird
Goose
Coyote
Kangaroo
Horse
Tiger
Alligator/Crocodile
Tadpoles
Turtle
Eagle/Hawk/Falcon
Snake
Pronghorn Antelope
