I'm currently working on a Native American/ Norse civilization in a continent much like North America. Not Vikings, they aren't sea raiders, but I'm using Futhark Runes and Old Norse language as a base, also a separate tribal society that has only just recently grew into Jarldoms and Kingdoms...
I had an artist on Fiverr draw up my main character, Crow. I think it looks awesome.
He is a thrall of Whitestone, participating in some of the illicit activities at night to earn a few coins, which allowed him to upgrade his clothes and get ahold of some weapons. This would be his "end game"...
Yeah sorry. The main continent is the middle island. I guess a more accurate way to describe it would be west of the mountains running up the center knows of another land across the ocean, but due to lack of tribal communication on opposite sides of the mountains, it isn't really known in the...
I haven't really explored much of the rest of the world's cultures too much. Lityrn is mostly undisturbed by other civilizations so. The only thing I know I'll be keeping is the Forndýr, called other things by other people's of course. I like the concept of living gods in the form of animals or...
I think the only time a title would be capital is if it's followed by a name, or is... this may sound weird... the proper name of the title. Using "king" in its own in any way I think is lowercase, but if you say King John, King of England. Or captain is lowercase but if the official title is...
The Forndýr
The Lityrnan Paganism is the main religion of the islands. It's broken down from the Sun and Moon birthing Grynmar aka Mother Nature. And Grynmar created great beasts to help her create everything.
I have names for them in old norse but I'm not sure if I want to use them.

Ancient History
So I have several main tribes that originated from ancient heroes of old.
Althans from Althia. Named for Althar the Blind
Ritgardians from Ritgard. Named for Rigurs Puma-slayer
Stenns from Stenia. Named for Sten Bronzefist
Kryllans from Kryllia. Named for Kryllo Wolfborn...
Language and Society
So I've been playing around on vulgarlang.com a bit trying to come up with something that I like as a unique language to use but I haven't got around to learning much more than the basics. In the meantime, I've been just using Old Norse words for things.
I have the...
The basic Lityrnan Paganism creation story and prophecy of the end times.
The endless dark was all that existed in the sky. Spontaneously, the great being Oviss came into existence to challenge the dark. Darkness however was too great a foe, and Oviss was torn apart by the tendrils of the dark...
So I've been getting some local feedback from a few friends of mine and I wanted to get some unbiased opinions to help sort and organize my world.
Some Background:
So currently, the "known" world in the book I'm working on, isn't that large. The Lityrnan Islands are what the peoples living...
I'm currently trying to mix Norse and Native American together in a rugged, battle hardy, spiritual, animal/sun&moon/mother nature worshipping, peoples. They were mostly tribal hunter gatherers, but started to develope into larger civilizations, however the tribalism still exists in the more...
Yeah as of right now I don't even know what the other continents contain. And this map I'm sure is guaranteed to change as I developed more and more areas. I'm only focusing on the two continents on the far right, and zooming in on that little triangular portion for the book I'm currently...
