  1. Half Truths and Deception Part 1: Ryjahs PoV

    Half Truths and Deception Part 1: Ryjahs PoV

    Ryjah grinned as she tossed another pebble at her mentors back. Thornstaff was a grumpy Wood Elf Druid with a six and a half feet tall and dark brown hair. His eyebrows were all too often angled down in a sharp V whenever he became annoyed with her as he was now, glaring at her with furious dark...

    Thornstaff and Ryjah

    This is my collection of stories about Thornstaff and Ryjah and I apologize it may get a little confusing. I have two different timelines that happened. The Half-Truths and Deception timeline was written for a competition and I changed things from what they were originally. So any of the stories...

    Names for languages and witches/warlocks?

    In my world there is a language that only the spirits and some of the magic using mortals know, though anyone has the ability to learn it. This language automatically connects to the Spirit Realm, so it would probably be disastrous for a non-magic using mortal to try to speak it. Anyway, for now...

    Naming a Magical World

    Hello! I'm new around here so I hope I'm doing this right. I have this story that I created for my nieces and nephews years ago. This story was born after I read them stories such as Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Worst Witch, Diskworld, A Wizard of Earthsea, The Chronicles...

    The lore of Sal'taron

    I'm going to open this page for discussing about the lore of the mixed-fantasy world I'm creating and expanding. To start, here's the (really shortened) timeline.

    Help with Worldbuilding in Historical Fantasy

    Hello everyone! Apologies if this post could be considered too political/religious/controversial. I will be playing a historical fantasy game of Burning Wheel (a tabletop rpg) and novelizing it for camp Nanowrimo this year. The setting will be a mix of Ivanhoe, the Arthurian myths, and Game of...

    Help with writing Fantasy, please?

    I tend to write whatever ideas come into my head and I don't really stick to any Genre but Fantasy is probably one of the Genres I am least interested in. I own no Fantasy books or movies. And I don't tend to like anything aimed a teenagers (even when I was a teen) it just always seems samey to...

    What's your strangest habitat for humans?

    Hi there, fellow worldbuilders! As a worldbuilder, I really enjoy creating special living environments for the humans, but those bring some issues with them. For example, when humans live in a bottle on the ocean floor, how do they get oxygen? Well, every ten years (it takes on average twenty...

    What's your craziest worldbuilding idea?

    Hi fellow worldbuilders or just fantasy fans! A few days ago, I came up with a really crazy idea! In a world, there live humans in huge trees on top of a giant's head. I dug deeper into the consequences of such world and came out with something really interesting. For exemple: How do those...

    Captain's Log III

    Writing Date 9409.8 (pm) Hi folks, how’s it going? Hope your storytelling motors are all purring away, keyboards clicking as you race along those open arcs and winding plot-lines. My own writing engine could do with a good run out, truth be told. I’m at the tail end of things now; thinking...

    The Broken Earth series

    Written by N.K Jemisin it’s a fantastic Fantasy. World building is solid. Her writing is hard hitting and , to me, different than any author I have read before and if I have, hers hits you more in the face. She uses the second-person point of view with the use of the pronoun “you”. She uses...

    The Sage's Lot - Prologue Pt3

    Again Xylin looked about the room, expecting at least one of the local drunkards to have spat out his ale at the spectacle, and yet on they drank, oblivious to a working of sagecraft greater than any Xylin had ever witnessed in all his years walking Rubeyah. This was insanity, yet there it was...
  15. The Sage's Lot - my completed novel

    The Sage's Lot - Prologue Pt2

    Xylin’s escape thereafter involved no more bloodshed, shifting to his insubstantial form to become almost invisible in the shadows and once again pass through those iron-barred gates like tobacco smoke escaping a gap-toothed smile. Now though, some tolls of the bell later, Xylin didn’t find...

    The Sage's Lot - Prologue Pt1

    Prologue Again he swallowed, and again the stinging ichor these westerners dared call wine made Xylin want to retch. Was he drunk? Surely not. One, two, three bottles wouldn’t do it. A little tipsy? Perhaps. But drunk? Never. Such foolishness was unthinkable, yet ever since reading those...

    The Sage's Lot - my completed novel

    I've been working away on my fantasy novel for 5 years, and I'm well over halfway to putting in my 10,000 hours. I'm currently trying to get a Lit agent interested so thought putting the first few chapters up on here might help to get both attention and constructive criticism. My beta readers...

    Help with a Witch?

    Hey guys, I literally just made my account so I'm brand new. I have never been in or on a forum so I'm not used to asking for help. Hope I'm doing this right? So in this book of mine, I created a character. She's only going to be temporary. A roadblock in the other characters travels. She's an...
