This world feels interesting, and it feels more fun.

Let's go with option one. Their tech keeps them from total elimination and subjugation. But outside the Bible of tech or small domain points it begins to degrade as magical elements begin to work to muck up the works.
Some power thoughts:
She only has an Awesome pool of 15 so can't at CG take her fire or ice powers but could later. And possibly
Desert wildcat... Hmm
I was planning being a local girl who might rise to become general.
Crossover?
Gypsies from the Hunchback of Note Dame finding sanctuary and magic in Arrendelle. (to be themselves openly)
What else?
The Little Mermaid? Eric and Ariel place should have presence.
I like that actually @Merit.
Perhaps point out that various clans do indeed draw from many many different cultures, (fantastical and not).
I'll borrow the concept from elfquest: Wolfrider's have a 'public' use-name. "Cutter" (for quickwit & skill with a sword), but also a soul name (that only the closest to them know- their parents, their spouses, Cutter's 'Tam'.), His soulBrother ,Skywise's soul name is Fahr, but when Cutter met his life mate.. She doesn't have a soul name (she's not a wolfrider, there is no need to 'hide' who she is). He basically goes: All I found... was Leetah ( her name, which means 'Healing Light'-).
So why not just say: that the Fae have public names & private names, and the idea of Masks & Personae are common amounts them.
One Winter Fae, could easily be 'Lady Iceheart' when acting in a judge capcity,-it's both a title and name, but to her friends is Ysalye' ( Ok so I totally took that from Final Fantasy XIV, but I make my point.)
A varity of 'names' & titles and monikers, for a variety of occasions, which makes influence their look. or outward 'appearance' slightly. You can still tell who they 'ARE', that isn't hidden from you, as a Fae. But then again Fae probably also go through changes from childhood they maybe called one, thing, and grow some and gain a deed, or use name, that sticks to them like gule, so strong is the resonance with their person, and then still later they grow more and gain a proper 'adult' title, and name, but people still use say that childhood/teen name, to indicate a closer association.
True we are kinda asking for it, might be best to drop the official names we could very easily make it not tied particularly to Disney property, it's kinda easy and probably works out better as its own entity then we are not bound by their limits.
Actually give tommorrow evening and I'll start sketching this world that kind of world building is old hat for me. If you wanna see some of my world working efforts I am happy to show them @Cirno.
@ThatGuyThere Wait Caligula's NAME means something so 'adorable' as "Little Boots"- he was BATSHIT CRAZY MASS MURDER?!
Ok.. that's neat point.
I win! I made you talk Disney Princesses!
But I think it'll be easy to manipulate the world and make it not 'Disney', a cosmology, and its own lore and themes are something I am realitively good at.
So now that its own thing, we can come up with our own names. Totally mentioned that it evolved from a an idea inspired by Frozen but after a point clearly evolved beyond that.
Tentative Title: "Dishonored: Sun Blades? (DSB)? or Dishonored: Blades of Spring? (DBS)? - I am toying with names now.
Since the vibe with a kind of a 'steam/electropunk/magicpunk is very much Dishonored/ Dishonored 2 (upcoming).
But with our 'Spring Queen' as a theme or at least a figure head amooungst the rebellion, raised up as an idea a concept to get them behind. I think it works well.
I would say the Lioness Empire with the Lion throne (having awesome Queens who wear fake manes to symbolize their power). ( yes Tina Turner hair from the 80s is back).
I am reminded of the Scene in "How to get Away with Murder" Where the leading actress removes her wig and how.. Powerful it is.
She in her normal everyday powerful life as a Lawyer wears the wig to fit in to appear strong and for a lack of a better term "white and powerful" with a standard of beauty that she can't naturally obtain. And it struck me as powerful just then scene of the removal. Queens and Kings wear masks... So a lion mane & mask to represent kingship visually.
Though I think the Leader should have a term like Sacrifice (something wildly not powerful sounding) that fits the idea that one's leader need not be the biggest physical bad ass. I kinda love the of a king physically being not intimidating.
Ugh no... @Cupcake!
@Auspice I am wavering HOw to Train Your Dragon doesn't feel quite right. I've decided that the 'Majestic Flying Partners' (MFPs) (until I figure out what they are). Are definately intelligent, living species, that lives separately from humanity. They are intelligent, and have speech, and society (at least in their weird, 'animal society'-style you see in fantasy books).
Humanity having been forced to this new world via a disaster in their old one, so now their stuck.
Downside humanity turns out to be metaphysically attractive 'darker' things.
So this begins a set of cycles (ala dark souls or Final Fantasy) prosperity & calamity points in history.
Rulership &Religion become touch stones for different kingdoms.
Their biggest ties, :Wardens ( humans with animal bonds,)-- I am gonna go match this seperate thread now. Sicne I got stupidly offtrack.
Definitely. I think we are definately a bit more Gundam though Legend of the Galactica Hero's is a good one. "Glass Fleet" for some level of Asthmatic perhaps.
I don't know most of them are pretty interesting.
Hey the more serious " gemwars" (I. E magical nazi +magical allies) is already taking shape.
The Verdant glacial Valleys and mountains of Umarisa(Arendelle), it's cousin country of Lorharal(Corona).
Both countries have a theme : all female children are named after gem stones and males after flowers or plants.
Names are still a work in progress.
UMARISA has a queen who is ageless but not immortal. She has ruled for 100 years. White haired and blue eyed her epithet is " The Snow queen", her younger sister mysteriously disappeared at the start of her reign.
Work in progress...
Thought: Not Arrendelle 's native population have head borns/antlers ( no magic equal realistic hair colors, some magic gives you brightly colored streaks, Magic magic gives you anime).
Wings are Not Corona domain. People are winged fairy like full sized.
Animal bonding is common ish low level magic across many kingdoms.
Most magic three camps : Control/ Alter/ Sense.
@Cirno Great! Ideas.
At the moment that's a pretty accurate estimation. Did I mention that religion is Matriarchal and Divine Feminine is a good thing. Also Kanzerlin Wilhelima (!Elsa) is amazing.
I do think we should definately draw things together. I'be been kinda been eaten by work. (two Jobs).
@ Cirno
Well 'duh', well she's gotta be busty, but not grossly so. Did we mention Mermaids? We have them.
They definately perhaps they're the Kanzerlin's navy?
@Cirno Yes Actually 'living battle ship like could be cool, and different. So maybe different 'castes of mermaids.
@cirno The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner just took on new meaning.
Space Lords and Ladies?
What about Space Religion? (If we're going with Space fuedlism, then Space Deity Space Divine Right is a THiNG (including the Psychic powers), but what does that mean for bastard offspring of Nobles, if they inherit mind powers? Do theyget Stolen in the middle of the night and taken to their 'Divine' Parent..?
