Greetings!

Another month, another Menmar Monthly Art! Menmar completes 5 years since the first time I published it, and I’ve been using those illustrations as way for you to get to know more about this universe while I get some other projects done before coming back to it!

The Series is back! Chapter 8 got a bit delayed, but it’s on the works to be completed along with Chapter 9! Since I’m now part of a small, fast-growing publisher since July, Menmar will soon be available there for reading! I also plan on remastering and soft-retconning the earlier chapters to match my current artwork and storytelling flow!

The Month of Meqdez Farhat

The Month of Meqdez Farhat, also known as The Month of Months or the Holiest of Months, is the first Month of Winter in Azoria and it mirrors real-life’s Month of October. Meqdez Farhat is preceded by the Month of Fereda and followed by the Month of Rooz.

Meqdez Farhat can be translated as “Most Noble, Most Sacred Farhat”; this month is completely dedicated to worshipping the goddess Farhat, which is widely credited as the existance’s creator by both Azorians and a few Janni alike. Along with Farhat, minor deities collectively known as Good Agents are also worshipped with theirs altars and idols cleansed and purified.

This is the time to restore personal hearth flames, along with rekindling older shrines. Each household visits the closest shrine to pay respects to the Goddess and Her Good Agents, bringing them candles and offerings, along with special papyrus ribbons in which they entrust their desires and wishes.

Also, adherents of the faith can take their vows and join priesthood if they are already older than the age of 12. Those that were born in Spring can only take the sacred robes and veils the following year, before their 13th birthday and after it. Meqdez Farhat also welcomes army conscription, although this practice is frowned upon due to the impression of abusing the Laws of Shelter on Azoria.
