Have at it! :D

~~~
Welcome to Zoriah, a rather mysterious land. It is vast, with some almost primitive islands and some bustling cities with soaring populations. There is no 'native' tongue of Zoriah; English and such variants are used often. Although part of Zoriah's people cannot read or write, history is passed down from generation to generation in those places. Zoriah's population is ever growing, its count including shape shifters, dwarves/humans, and elves.

Zoriah
Harmony:
 Peace:
  Footsteps in the sand:
   Two sets
  Friends' hug
  Sunset above the ocean
  A hand in your own:
   Refusing to let go

Heritage:
 Diversity:
  Running creek:
   Strong undercurrent
  Field of wildflowers

War:
 Disappointment:
  Worn bows and arrows
  Steel blue eyes:
   Refusing to look up
  Trampled rose
  War drums sounding
  Troubled heart
  Trembling fingers
  Broken arrows
  Frowns on many faces
  Tearstained cheeks

Vastness:
  Needle in a haystack
  Eyes scanning the horizon
  Rows of plants

Beauty
  Bobbing flower
  Soft velvet
  Freckled face
  Shy smile
  Christmas tree ornaments

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Sunspot! That is such a lovely name for you, Elfy.

Do I have the fair sunspot's permission to edit any fair typos found in her fair post directly because I am fairly lazy?

This is just me being an essence mapping purist, but this seems ideally suited to the FirstX syntax. I'm having a hard time following this particular style of freestyle, and for posting an essence map on the blog, I'd prefer it was FirstX or X+ (unless you do something which can't be expressed in those, in which case feel free to PM me to find out how: I'm confident it can be done, haha).

If you need help converting it, feel free to ask, and I might even do it for you. :)

It looks like BasicX to me, or whatever you called the simple syntax before the new overhaul... which means it shouldn't be that confusing to you, oh essence creator.

* shakes head * I didn't make that syntax, haha. I look at essence maps from underneath a lot, and this syntax isn't consistent with the internal structure of essence mapping itself.

However, the basic essence mapping is featured on HW.

This needs to be figured out today, though. It is supposed to go on the blog today.
