Word of the Day
We're starting the Choices Meant for Gods fantasy words with 'ofersey'n' because a friend of mine asked me to explain what they were. So here we go!
Ofersey'n (noun) — a leader in any given sector of the continent where the tale of Choices Meant for Gods takes place; a leader similar to a governor or a monarch; he is usually from a line of ofersey'n (and, yes, it's a patriarchal society)
Etymology: Sandy Lender created this word but it stems from the Old English word "oferseon" (with a long mark over the second e), which means "oversee" or "look on". You can see then why the governor of a sector or "land" in this fantasy world is an ofersey'n.
Word in a Sentence (taken from the text of Choices Meant for Gods): The land of Onweald had enjoyed peace for nearly four decades. To think one of its ofersey'n invaded another's capital city was ludicrous.
Your turn! Now, this is a little different than what you regular visitors to Today the Dragon Wins are used to because this is a fantasy word, but let's see how creative you can be. How can you use either the WOD ofersey'n or its Old English root oferseon in a governmental sentence?
"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."
