Red Faced God

Worship of the Red Faced God is commonly practiced in the South below the Neck. He is not a god who is prayed to out of love, but out of fear. To religious Southerners, the Red Faced God is the one who takes away unworthy and unprotected souls to his realm where he engorges himself on them them like one does upon flesh. As a result, goodluck charms and sigils are a common sight below the neck.

In order to prevent their souls from being eaten, pious Southerners refrain from his temptations such as greed and murder and to protect themselves after death, they are buried with their hands folded over their hearts, shielding it from the Red Faced God to steal.

While religion in the South isn't as uniformly worshipped by all or used in politics like in the North, it still plays a big role in the daily lives of regular people.

Festivals mocking the Red Face God happen a few times a year and people go wild, all the fear gone from their hearts for just three days. People color their faces bright red and roam the streets, beating drums and playing sitars for all to hear as people chant, sing, pray, drink, dance and sell food.

Worshippers sometimes leave shrines in their homes such as a small stone skull painted red surrounded by burning incense and flowers to keep the Red Faced God out of their homes.

The Red Faced God has multiple depictions, the two most popular ones  being a red skull with an emaciated black cloaked body and the other being a completely hairless face with bright red skin.

Greywater Gulf

Greywater Gulf is a large gulf located on the western side of Bahlmorea. It's the largest gulf in the continent and provides food and jewelry to the rest of the continent. A series of triangular trade routes criss cross the massive gulf.

Its waters are frigid and shores are rocky and unforgiving. Magnificent water tornado spouts and rain storms are said to occur right in the middle of the gulf, tearing apart ships and ripping off masts like a knife cutting through butter.

Massive 20 foot long behemoth fish with sail-like fins dwell in the water towards the center of the gulf, where the waters tend to be still and miles and miles of thick red kelp gathers on the surface, making it a popular place for otters, seals and birds.
Mackry

Mackry is a small fishing village located on the coast of Greywater Gulf. Very little people find it remarkable or even know about it, but there's certainly something dark about the village, especially because of its isolated location.

Very little is known about Mackry, no one even knows how it started or how enough people survived the journey across the Crimson Barrier or across the waters of Greywater Gulf.

The village is almost always covered in snow and the people here are less than kind, almost hostile to anyone who comes wandering into their village. The people here are almost animal-like with how they speak, act and look. Many of the men have grown enough hair to look like wolfish men and the women cover themselves in queer clothes so they nearly look like bears or cats.
Sheena Liam

## Episode Summary

Gani thought it was unfair for Amanda to stay over KB since it was her third time in the bottom two while it was KB's first. Barbara speculated that there was favoritism going on between Alex Perry and Amanda. This led the models to have an evident separation in the house, with Barbara, Tahlia and Gani against Aimee, Amanda and Monika.

The girls headed on to a sparring session with Brazilian jiu-jitsu World Champion, Bruno Pucci and ONE Fighting Championship Vice President, Rich Franklin. Fitness and fears were tested as the models then underwent a punishing preparation with the MMA world champions and aerial gymnast, Ming Leong. All the girls did really well in the challenge but ultimately Barbara won her third challenge.

Barbara's prize for winning the challenge was a spa treatment at Sofitel So Singapore where she was asked to bring a friend with her to enjoy her prize with and she chose Gani. While Barbara and Gani enjoyed their spa treatment, Aimee, Amanda and Monika decided to go for a swim in the house, leaving Tahlia alone feeling awkward to socialize with them since they were not very close to each other and both her friends in the house went to the spa.

In the photo shoot, the girls were required to be raised and suspended in the air wearing Alex Perry-designed long gowns, and Jez Smith was again the man behind the lens. Amanda, Barbara and Monika were the clear standouts. Though Aimee did good, it was deemed to be a safe performance from her. Indonesian compatriots, Gani and Tahlia struggled. Back at the modelling house Gani and Tahlia started to get worried about their chances as they were seen evidently struggling during the shoot.

At panel, Amanda, Barbara and Monika got universal acclamation from all the judges, while Aimee was asked to push harder as she received lukewarm reactions from the judges. Gani and Tahlia were criticized for looking really short and had the Alex Perry gowns wearing them instead of them wearing the gowns. Amanda received her second best photo, Monika, Barbara and Aimee followed. Gani and Tahlia found themselves in the bottom two, but it was Tahlia who was sent home as Gani was deemed safe.

Challenges

This is a list of challenges which have appeared on the television show Asia's Next Top Model.

Each episode usually begins with the contestants receiving training in an area concurrent with the week's theme. For example, contestants may get coached in runway walking, improvisational acting, and clothing to suit various occasions. A related challenge soon follows, such as a mock (or real) runway show or interview, where one of the models is chosen as the winner.

The winner of the challenge receives some prize, such as a contract, a night out, or an advantage at the next photo shoot. The winning contestant is sometimes permitted to share their reward with other contestants of their choosing and on some occasions, may gain immunity from elimination at the next judging. Losing the challenge can result in some minor punishment, like losing frames for the next photo shoot. It can also end in the immediate elimination of the contestant.

Each episode, which covers the events of roughly one week of real time, is usually associated with a theme in the world of modeling, such as dealing with the press in interviews, selling a commercial product, appearing in a runway show, or visiting prospective employers in "go sees".

Each of the scenario required the girls to make the no-nonsense characters played by Tom to smile. The challenge caused much entertainment between the girls, and in the end everyone but Sang-in and Tuti managed to make him smile. Tom then revealed that Patricia had been chosen as the winner of the challenge, and had earned a dinner date with him.

Patricia was stiff at the beginning, but after doing salsa dancing she managed to loosen up and impress everyone. Tawan and Angie were also praised, the former for her believable connection with Tom and the latter for showing improvement in taking direction from Yu Tsai. Tuti struggled, as she wasn't confident with her smile and admitted that she wasn't used to doing smiling shoots.

## Episode Summary

Tawan was devastated after Tuti's elimination, and after being comforted by the other girls, stated that she would win the competition for her best friend. Meanwhile, Angie wondered if she truly belonged in the top five over Tuti. The following day, Cindy and Kelly came to the model house to give the girls a runway workshop. The girls were taught two different kinds of runway walks: sexy and couture. Patricia once again wowed everyone in the room with her stellar walk for both types, while Angie and Sang In received the most tutoring from the mentors, the former for her posture while walking and the latter for looking too fierce.

For the challenge, the models were brought to a studio with a runway for TRESemmé, where they were greeted by their two mentors, their makeover stylist Mervin Wee, and their photographer for the week, Nat Prakobsantisuk. Cindy explained that for the week, the challenge and photo shoot would be taking place simultaneously. The challenge consisted of walking fiercely on the runway while embodying smooth TRESemmé hair, while the photo shoot segment consisted of posing with guest stylist, Jing Monis at the end of the runway. Tawan impressed for both her runway walk and photo shoot, while Julian did an okay job in both and mistakenly exited the runway in the wrong direction. Patricia was deemed strong on the runway but weak on the photo shoot, while Angie and Sang In struggled the most on both.

Dragons

Dragons are unique magnificent flying reptiles that inhabit majorly the Southern region of Bahlmorea, the north being too

   cold for them.

These creatures come in all shapes and sizes, colors and forms and it is said not a single dragon is alike. Many come in the form of wyverns, wyrms, and drakes. Each just as deadly and extremely intelligent as the last. They can grow from 6 to over 100 feet in height and have wingspans of 150 feet in length.

Although they are not large in numbers, they pose a very real threat to nearby villages and towns, which is a reason why there isn't much civilization around the Ember and Guerdon Mountains besides dragon worshipping tribes.

   While dragons do hunt mostly the seaward side on the mountains, catching fish, squid, seals, whales and the like, its not uncommon for them to fly around the Dothrai or Broadreach, snapping up balaphants, cattle, horses, and humans alike.

Dragons are extremely intelligent and exist on a mental level that of humans. It's said that many love to learn in fact and often steal humans to teach them new things and how to speak the common tongue of man, which many do apparently. They also tend to be a very aroggant species and love to show off their might or intelligence one way or another. They are also very difficut to kill, almost impossible by any human. It's much easier to just run away or avoid dragons all together.
