January Challenge Day 4: World Braille Day (featuring Xyni)

One of the elements I really want to have strong in my Merfolk world is an inclusive social structure, including blindness in all it's forms. From the visually impaired to Blind.

Xyni, is my most well developed blind character. I've got at least one full story arc planned focusing him and the social interactions and ties he has and not so much on the fact that he can't see much at all. I just want to include little but important things like his books (or scrolls, I haven't decided on the written medium yet) being written in braille as matter-of-factly as I can. Without making it a spectacle of entertainment.

Really wished I could have worked on this more, but my eyes started to experience some serious strain. I'm very much not used to staring at a screen for hours on end anymore.
