In my story there is a major conflict about slavery with one country supporting it and one country declaring it an abomination. What I wanted to know is if there are any models of ancient non slavery economies I could work of. Also are there any relatively mild forms of slavery that the second...

A couple more questions. How would the two countries involved decide an ambassador should be sent? Would they arrange before via messages carried by traders and explores or would the ambassador just arrive one day and ask for an audience with the king? Who might form the retinue of an...

Thank you that will be very helpful.

My MC begins the story being sent as an ambassador to another land to start diplomatic relations that have not hitherto existed. The time period is roughly that of the ancient world but I have no specific bases for each of my societies. The land the ambassador is arriving in has a democratically...

I that suppose that they would see their gods as virtues. With virtues like courage extra. I will just make up a myth about the creation of magic. I just wondered if anyone integrated religion and magic because magic is unexplainable by logic. They are completely isolated. A couple of billion...

What I want to work out is all the mythology the effect the religion has on the world and how much power to give to the religious leaders. Also what mythology and religious explanation could the religion have for magic? Has anyone combined magic with a religion that does not acutely understand it.

People acknowledge all the gods but tend to worship only one. So yes it is based on the Greek religion in a way. There are different churches for the separate gods. Each church is lead by someone who claim to be able to talk to that god. People will generally only worship the god that affects...

At the moment I have not got a story or characters. I am building the world and then I am going to see what sort of story would take place there. The gods don't influence the world. They are like the gods of the present age. They are worshipped and prayed to show no sign of existing. Ten gods...

I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment the moment with my fantasy world at the moment because it is the first one I am building with this much detail. I want to try and make sure my world makes complete sense. This means getting my map to fit geographical law. My population to expand at a...

I haven't built my world very much at all. I started the world from the magic system and thought I would try and workout what sort of influence the magic would have on a world before I started work in depth on the cultures. I wanted to have magic combined with technology so I made very specific...

I would also romanticize the democracy quite a bit. There would be characters with true integrity that the people voted for and people would not be moved by elegant words to unjust or unwise decisions.

I haven't read that many series yet but I would say. Way of the shadows by Brent Weeks and Trudi Carnavarns black magic trilogy and age of five. I haven't read her other books yet. And Harry Potter. I haven't read other fantasy that I've enjoyed as much.

I personally get irritated with all the wars between good and evil that I can't see a good side on. Good and evil are just human invention so they can relay mean anything. My definition of good is helping the greatest number of sentient being achieve their personnel goal.

Magic 1. Only one element may be controlled Basic magic. Rules common to all magic. 1 Everybody has the possibility of becoming a magician. 2 All magicians are equally powerful. 3 Magic is a skill and takes many years to learn. 4 A magician must go into a trance to use magic these can...

I understand it would complicate the story ,but i think it could make an interesting setting. I want to make a world with politics something like ancient Greece.
