Not so much whole kingdoms. More like inner organizations you might find in a particular nation or particular city even or possibly spread across the world, like really just any group like that which would fit my type of setting. I guess guild is an appropriate term for example something like...

Yeah the setting was originally built with games in mind but I decided I wanted to try and do a franchise and figured a novel series might be a better place to start than a game, especially as writing is another thing I enjoy, but still for that reason a lot of the stuff in the world itself was...

Mainly the way I tend to distinguish/view factions is like so using WoW for example, you've got like the Argent Dawn etc, so I guess organisations really. Or like in Elder Scrolls, you have the dark brotherhood and so on

I've got like the various witch covens, vampire covens, and heretical cults and things they hunt, not named any yet but they're there. And yeah those other factions sound good too

What are some types of factions that would be must haves or good additions to my type of setting? It's dark fantasy (mainly gothic horror), the time setting is mainly early modern (1500s to 1700s) but with a few cultures less advanced than that and an empire that is more 1800s. I already have a...

Got the penanggalan somewhere in my setting already, the others seem like they could work also

This was helpful, thank you

My setting is primarily a gothic horror setting but gothic horror tends to work best in European or American based settings, would it also work if some lands are based on like Greece, or Asia, or the Middle East, or Africa? How would I go about it and what sort of alternate creatures could I use?

I'll take a look at the link. Also those names fit quite well.

I'm not very good with naming places so I'm wondering if anyone could help me with name ideas for these settlements. The setting itself is dark fantasy, primarily 19th century and gothic horror. Mostly Victorian inspired. Sorry if it's a lot. 1) A small, snowy mountain town with a high...

Think I've been given some good ideas to play around with for my orcs. Thanks guys

There will be southern gothic elements included in my world, not sure if they're connected to the orcs yet but planning on having somewhere like souragne from ravenloft

What I have for them so far is a former slave race (possibly, can't make up my mind about that one) that nowadays, though they have their own land somewhere, they're not uncommon in human lands, mostly working as labourers, bouncers, dockworkers etc, but there's still a lot of prejudice against...

Evil minions would be complicated because for the most part the races in my world are like grey morality. Not sure whether my orcs are WoW or LotR though, slightly closer to ES orcs

Whenever I look at a gothic horror fantasy setting I never see orcs. Also I've seen people say orcs have no place in them, I want to put orcs in my world but more and more I'm wondering if they'll stand out too much. Has anyone made a gothic horror setting with orcs?
