Wanted: Topics for February
🕑 Added 2023-01-08 18:00:05 +0000 UTCPlease choose one topic from each of the lists below, and reply with the respective letter and number of your two chosen topics in the comments below. Voting will end at 11:59 PM PST on January 21st.
Topics marked with the asterisk (*) have been chosen by backers at the $10-a-month tier. They will be available for voting this month only, unless they are suggested again for March.
We've dropped below $500 a month this time around, so I'm discontinuing A Creator's Guide until we're back above that threshold again.

A Soldier's Guide to the Infinite Sea
A) Trade and Commerce: A description of the major trade routes in the Infinite Sea, as well as an overview of which power imports and exports what, and how this shapes their foreign policy.
B) Garing, Gutierrez, and Truscott - A History: A brief history of GG&T, from its humble beginnings during the Petty Kingdoms era, through its establishment as a major armsmaking firm during the Wars of Unification, to its current status as the Unified Kingdom's largest gunmaker.
C) The Saintly Martyrs: An overview of the worship of the Saints in the Northern Kingdoms, including biographies of selected Sainted Martyrs, iconography, and cosmology.
D) Old Calligia - What We Know: The Kian poet J'eanne Lieux once said that "The only thing we know about Old Calligia are the lies". While not entirely true, very little of the long-gone northern realm has survived. This essay from the University of San'heu attempts to put together the pieces.
E) Warfare Then and Now: A relatively broad overview of the history of war and warfare in the Infinite Sea, taken from a part of a Callindrian children's book.
F) Edmund Garing, In His Own Words: An autobiographical account of the junior partner of GG&T, edited by the Countess of Welles for her report on the War in Antar.
G) Clerks and Commoners: Selections from a children's book written for the scions of the Tierran nobility, meant as their first real education in the classes and dynamics of the Baneless classes.
H) Tierra - Her Peoples and History Pt 2: The second half the ethnographic history of Tierra, focusing on Kian and M'hidiyossi immigration and cultural influences.
I) A Report on Tutors and Tutelage: Commissioned by the Royal University of Aetoria, this report investigates the education baneblooded children receive before they are admitted to the University itself.
J) A Call to Arms to the Faithful of the Tree: A religious tract summarising the worship of the Tree of Life, and calling for a renewed age of religious devotion in an age of Takaran secularism.
K) The Compleat Knight: A somewhat tongue-in-cheek guide to the behaviours expected of a Knight of the Red.
L) The Senior Service: A rather self-serving pamphlet extolling the virtues of the Royal Tierran Navy in the context of the army's new prominence following the Dozen Years' War.
*M) On the Marine Regiments: An overview of the organisation, history, and duties of the Royal Tierran Marines.
*N) The Generals of Brigade: A brief description of some of the Generals of Brigade which served in the King's Army in Antar.
An Adventurer's Guide to the Fledgling Realms
1) Festivals of the Fledgling Realms Pt 2: Festivals from outside the Concordat's borders, like the Iron Marches and the Island-Cities.
*2) The Forest-Cities of the Flowering Court: A highly speculative treatise on the layouts and functions of the Flowering Court's settlements.
*3) The Creed of the Watcher: A brief description of the Watchers of the Divine Court, the primary providers of medical care in the Concordat
