It's called that because it literally looks like a bunch of giant organs strewn about the land. It's native inhabitants are a bunch of biomechanical monsters, so they've...done some landscaping.

Neverwhere is probably the best stand-alone fantasy I've read, as it's stuck in my head for years. Then again anything by Neil Gaiman is always really good.

Here's a map of Shariaku, a Pangea sized continent on Ekko.

Thanks so much! I've been working on it for a while and only recently started writing it all down. Work is slow, but worthwhile.

Veta does sound good, I agree. Not too alien either, haha. Glad you got one you like! :D

Ok, I came up with a few ideas by plugging the words "small and "planet" into a translator, then combining them together into one word. Here's what I got: Latin: Parveta Chinese: Xingao Filipino: Maliita Russian: Nebo'etsho Turkish: Kuzenuk There's tons more options, but you get the idea. For...

Seems like an interesting concept. I can't join, as i have my hands full with my own worldbuilding project, but I don't see why this shouldn't be explored by others. Good luck. :)

Gods and other divine beings also have a lot of complicated interpersonal relationships with each other, like in Greek, Roman, and Hindu mythology. This might be an aspect of their behavior you could consider writing, and my even form the basis for myths about these deities.

If you want to create an Asian themed culture, check out aspects of architecture, weaponry, language, clothing, native species, and folklore. Japanese and Chinese are great and interesting cultures to work with, but there's also Tibetan, Indonesian, Korean, and many others you could explore...

What if she uses some sort of shape-shifting weapon? That way she can kill stuff however she pleases, and doesn't have to carry an arsenal. There are also some exotic weapons like katars, sai, chakrams, and so on. If you'd like I could try and look for some more exotic weaponry. You could also...

I'm pretty much going for both. To me, the best way to present Ekko as a story would be through a graphic novel, but it was also designed with gaming in mind. No idea how I'm going to make either result come about, sadly.

Do the Orcs commonly live among domesticated animals? I've noticed in a comic series I've been reading, Wasteland, that many swears or curses are derived from goats, which is the common food/livestock animal. Maybe a goat curse could be something like.... "Ancestors damn you, you son of a...

I'm going to be writing at least one series of stories set in Ekko, so yes, it may eventually become a book; I'm just focusing on nailing down aspects of the setting first. I might also try and make some form of rpg, or (very ideally) have a game designed set in it. I'm not dead set on "majik"...

Thanks, Rikilamaro! It's been interesting so far. By the way, any idea how to edit my signature? I can't seem to find that option in my settings. Do I need more posts maybe? EDIT: Well apparently that post did it, because now it's there, haha.

So I've added several races and creatures to the groups gallery, as well as expanded the geography, factions, and magic system during the past week. I'd love some feedback on it, if anyone's interested. :)
