One of the very first conceptions of Azuaveria was "the beach episode of Redwall in an urban setting." So I imagined a sort of tropical-punk with a furry reimagining of the romantic aspects of San Francisco. As I've built up the world, it's taken on a slightly different character, but that core attitude is still intact, I think.
Azuaveria is much more bright than dark. I hope readers think of Makoto Shinkai's blue skies with enormous white clouds. The weather is actually pretty good almost all the time, but because this universe takes place in the eye of a gigantic hurricane (!) there is danger and peril if you seek it. The edges of the Storm Wall are way beyond the horizon for almost all denizens, though, so it's easy to ignore. Nobeast WANTS to stay so close to the edge.
I've introduced a lot of mythology to the world over the years. Different cultures have different explanations for why the world is the way it is. But the main thing I focus on, as an author, is diversity. There are lots of different species, different walks of life, and as a result, different explanations for things. I've introduced more political intrigue over the years, as well. Hopefully this gives the world more nuance, and a more adult target audience, but the bright and sunny vibe is what prevails.
