One way to be original is to take traditional fantasy races and mix it up. Desert Elves, Elves that live in a desert and maybe are similar to a Persian, or Arabic culture, for example. Maybe Sea Dwarves, Dwarves who've taken to the sea, and perhaps they are marauding pirates. Just a few ideas.
Hello everyone!
My name is EJ and I am a reader of fantasy and SF, and am striving towards finishing my own fantasy novel and becoming published. I've been a reader of Mythic Scribes for a while now, and thought it would be fun to join the forum.
