Earth (L1quid)

*(Not to be confused with* Earth *of* The Dragon Prince*.)*

***Earth*** is the second book in *Archai*, and is the *Dragon Prince* adaptation of *The Quaking Earth*, the second book of L1quid's *Archai* series. The perspective is slated to be Brynn Wolff.

The book gains its name from the Archaian Earth Primal in the original source (not *The Dragon Prince*'s Xadian Earth Primal), which is associated with life, survival, endurance, healing, history, growth, fury, and beauty.

In the series, it succeeds *Ocean* and proceeds *Sun*.

## Trivia

* The original novel's title, *The Quaking Earth*, was derived from the Archaian Earth Primal.
	+ The original title of the original novel was *Earth*. It was changed to avoid being confused with *The Dragon Prince: Earth*.
* The "Guide to Magic" seen is a modified version of the one seen in *Archai*, adapted for the *Dragon Prince*'s world.
* *Earth* was originally the first book in the series because of the main protagonist's name and thematic reasons in the original version of the story. It was later changed to be the second book due to elemental associations and plot elements in the overall series.

## Trivia

On 10/06/2023, L1quid decided to put a hold on *Archai* (and its *Wings of Fire* adaptation) to focus on *These Alien Dragons* (and its *Wings of Fire* adaptation). (They are currently working on book 2 of the series and some side stories that will explore more of the series world.) They will work on the series from time to time, if they have writer's block.
