Bugshido is a collaborative world created with my friends. Inspired by the amazing works of White Mantis, the world is inhabited by anthro insect citizens. There are dead gods, forbidden magics, imperial subterfuge, and a traveling caravan of unlikely heroes looking to save their homes.

Telyssa is the leader of the caravan. Though born male, she identifies and presents as female. Her family specializes in sake, a prized drink used enjoyed for recreation, as well as used in cleansing rituals. She is sent by her father to secure trade routes, proving her capability as heir to the business, as well as to act as a priestess where needed, cleansing tainted places and healing the sick.
