    Permafrost (01)

    Permafrost The snow-laden wind angrily blew forward, coating Avgust’s mustache and the fur trim of his coat. The young man stomped heavily through as he pressed on, his hobnail-studded boots digging into the densely packed snow and ice. Padding his empty food pouch in frustration, Avgust...

    Permafrost (1)

    Permafrost is the first in a series of short stories I've written describing the frigid world that the characters live in. This is my first portfolio I've ever uploaded here. I welcome any and all comments on my work and you may be as brutal as possible.

    The cold's effect on an airship?

    I'm writing a story set in a world that is almost completely frozen over, basically a planet-sized Alaska, and I was wondering what the effects such frigid temperatures would have on an airship. The people in my story use airships as their primary transport, but I want to know if there would be...

    Prominence of Swords in Fantasy Settings

    The importance of swords is due to their association with the warrior class. For centuries, swords were the universal symbol of nobility, chivalry, and military might.

    Creating a believable villain

    Whenever I write my villains, I keep in mind Tom Hiddleston's quote, "Every villain is a hero in his own mind." A believable villain will have a reason for what he is doing that will seem like a good thing in his mind. Take Black Panther's Killmonger, as an example of a good modern, realistic...

    In my world

    Thank you. It's supposed to be a very primitive people, having to start life over again completely.

    In my world

    Thanks. The story is set in the eastern part of the United States, mainly Virginia and northern Florida. I actually was considering putting Mount Rushmore in at one point, as well.

    Armour in Thick Forest

    Armor isn't as restrictive as a lot of people think. There are several videos online of people running full obstacle courses in full plate armor. So really, whatever armor you wanted, you could use.

    Drinking Vessels in Medieval times

    You could even use colored glass if you really wanted. Though not universally common, small glass bottles were used throughout the middle ages.

    In my world

    In the setting I'm working on, it's been several million years since the world has been almost completely wiped out after some mass extinction (whether it's caused by World War III or some natural disaster, I'm still debating with myself about.). The survivors of this apocalypse live on and...
