Perhaps you could have their life force extremely weakened, but they are still bound in some way to seek vengeance/resurrect the female daemon? Acting in a similar way to the horcruxes in the Harry Potter series, they're receptacles for the female character's soul/lifeforce/energy so as long as...

I remember reading somewhere, and it is probably false, that the lowest denomination of Roman currency was usually enough to buy a meal. Regardless of how truthful that bit of information is most currencies have a lowest "useful" denomination, i.e. a base to build upon, if you're going with...

Well most communication lines on earth are currently pumped through undersea cables, one recently got buggered on the coast of east africa, here's the Wiki Link: Submarine communications cable and here is a link to the current cables we have laid out:Map of Underseas cables also there are...

A new favourite of mine are Two Steps From Hell, they're a company based in SF who do all kinds of awesome fantasy-esque music and have songs in tonnes of movies, TV series and games. A pretty awesome song of theirs is actually in a lot of trailers, called Hearts of Courage, here's linky:

Heh, after struggling with making names that I actually liked the sound of I decided to just sum up the nations character in 3 words and use the first letter of each as an acronym to refer to it in my notes. Now my brain has found ways to pronounce these acronyms as actual words and lo with a...

Actually ever since people have been able to use telescopes to actually resolve planetary bodies as more than specks of light on the night sky, and probably long before that, people have thought that life existed on other planets. Whilst not believing in aliens per se they did believe that...

I'd have to disagree with you there, cultures throughout history have observed the stars at night and have noticed that certain points of light move around with a regular motion and ascribed them to be orbiting a body. This body has changed from the earth (wrong) to the sun (still wrong) and now...

@Chinaren, I agree I have put far too much effort into creating a general world plan that chances are will get chopped and changed quite regularly to service the plot, but I absolutely LOVE creating worlds with little bits and bobs of lore and backstory and general stuff I just can't help...

@Kaellpae, that is a brilliant idea! I have been toying with the thought of making one of the main characters a musician, but have been stumped as to how to express music well in written form. (I wouldn't want to put too much in the way of lyrics or anything in because I hated all of the songs...

Sounds interesting, got a bit of everything in the world! Are there any other kingdoms than the 3 you've described? What kind of story are you going to be putting in this world?

Bit of a bump here but with a map showing the different countries on this continent! The actual names are few and far between at the moment, purely because I have a thing with names in that they have to be just right but I have created history, rivalries etc for most nations, admittedly the more...

Cheers for reading through all that! Firstly I'll answer about the eastern invaders, they are human and not a 'faceless evil race', even if my breif description didn't really show that! They're taking cues from other steppe invaders such as the Mongols, Huns or Timurids from our history, so...

I agree with Ophiucha, if the author drew or commisioned the pictures I'm all for it but if the images are added later I tend to avoid as they can sometimes ruin my own imaginations view of them. I read LotR when I was 10/11 and loved it, but when the description of an oliphant came up me being...

Ahh! I'm really torn between Mass Effect (both of them) or Oblivion. Whilst I felt a lot more connection to characters in Mass Effect, agonizing over who should die on virmire and restarting the collectors base mission when Legion kicked the bucket, but at the same time I lost myself for hours...

As a firm believer in chaos theory I feel an instant pang of nausea everytime I see something like "Oh this event/aspect of life is radically different from our history, but in 1776 the USA is still born and in 1945 the Axis still loses world war two!" it just bugs me on a very deep level...
