Hi all, just wondering what people think of the fantasy race I've created, which I'm having a bit of trouble with. Basically I feel they come off as a bit...ugly, evil for the sake of being evil monsters, which I don't think is interesting. They have sickly green spiked skin, with a...

Well, I have a few options to choose from now so that's great. Thanks very much for your replies people. As for why the inhabitants of this land don't leave...they were forced to settle here after a number of other kingdoms turned against them because, despite it's reputation, their only other...

Hello. Wow, it's been a while since I posted here. Basically, there's a continent in my story which is heavily cursed, affecting it's inhabitants, it's weather, it's animals, the land - nearly everything. I've come up with a number of diseases with very painful symptoms that the inhabitants...

Not sure about amulet or talisman but people simply calling them orbs would make sense I suppose. Every human has the ability to use an orb to connect with the 'magical force' however at first their connection is a small one and they won't be able to exert much control. Only a certain few...

I haven't had much time to work on my story lately (last thing I worked on was my pantheon of gods, which I posted here about) but I have come up with a magic system and I'm interested to see what people think of it. So, humans can't use magic without the aid of objects imbued by it. The most...

Being Irish I can translate them to the best of my ability into Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic). Mountain city - cathair sliabh Mountain town - Baile mor sliabh Rocky city - cathair carraig Rocky town - baile mor carraig Valley city - cathair gleann Valley town - baile mor gleann...

I don't see any reason why a fantasy story shouldn't have a one true god. I haven't read many stories that have only one real god and personally I preffer ones that have multiple deities. I find gods that embody some attribute and interferre with mortal events more interesting. Just...

Hmm, at this point I'd have to change large parts of my story if I were to make my gods that much different. Interesting idea though.

Oh, maybe I worded it wrong. He would claim to his fellow conspirators that he would be the god of revolution but once he succeeds in killing his god and robbing him of his power he becomes a god of regicide instead. He wouldn't switch between attributes because the reason the main gods do is...

In response to Anders and Ouroboros, Well the thing is, these gods aren't natural. They came about roughly halfway through my worlds history when civilization was at its peak. The races of my world chose to worship these tangible, intervening gods rather then their old ones who never visibly...

Well, I have an idea for a creator god who made the world. Its long gone by the time the pantheon are around but is somewhat responsible for their existance. The gods are only killable by one of their own. I did have an idea that a demi-god, a mortal who has been granted powers by their...

I don't know much about warhammer, I'll have a look through them and see what I find, thanks. I had considered a god of justice but I thought it'd end up similar to Altalar. I think it's a good idea now though, will most likely make a god for both that and death and afterlife, thanks for the...

In my world my pantheon of gods all have the same type of divine power (though some are more powerful then others). What separates them is that they each represent different views or ideologies. For example, my god Altalar is the god of order, conformity, and collectivism. However the gods...

I myself found reading helpful. I stopped writing and reading for a number of years. I read one book, and suddenly I found the urge to write again.

I don't find that listening to music inspires or helps me when I'm writing but I do prefer to listen to music when writing then not, as I find it relaxing to have some music playing in the background.
