Basically I have a fantasy world I created and I need more ideas for abilities. The premise, put simply, is about a world made up 8 different realms, each with different climate, governments, and cultures. Everyone in this world (with some exceptions) has one of twelve magical abilities. These...
Finally wrote up a thing about magic in my primary story, MagicBound! Wanted to get someone else’s opinion on it! This is from a project I’ve been working on for 11 years since I was 15 lol any questions and of course constructive criticism welcome!
Laws of Magic
1- Magic can both create...
Hi everyone, I am in the process of writing a story in, and world building the world of, a planet that just so happens to be flat. There are several magical places and abilities that are named after seasons, and as such my question is, should I include changing seasons, or should I simply have...
Hello! I found this website and decided to join. I love fantasy and fiction. I like to write. Since fantasy is my main genre, I thought this site may be useful.
I like fantasy in different kinds of media, including movies, TV, and games. Also, art!
But even writing is a kind of art.
I...
Hey, first time posting.
I’m starting to create the bare bones of this world, and I’m still getting the whole skeleton together. The basics that I have so far is that the most developed parts of the world do have very rough technology. Think DaVinci, and possibly bordering Tesla once...
Salves comes, this is my first post and I'm sure only the beginning. I am currently in the midst of worldbuilding a setting that I intend to use in my future creative projects, based around one idea: What if the Gods of a setting, instead of being shunted off into their own little planes of...
Hi there! I wasn't quite liking any of the map building sites I was trying out, so I decided to just sketch one out. I am wondering if this is a realistic layout for a world? I've divided it into three main, specific biomes. This is a first draft, I haven't yet figured out where specific...
Hi there! I just joined this forum because I'm planning to write a book and this seems like a great place to get feedback! Anyway, I'm not sure how to explain this well so bear with me.
Okay so I don't really know much about my story yet other than the fact it will be about orcs in a positive...
I couldn’t find a way to explain this shortly in the title but basically, I’m writing a fantasy story that’s doesn’t have a specific time setting, but it has aspects of certain eras. For example, swords and knives are widely used and only soldiers or people in the military use guns (something...
Hi all, I was just wondering how many of you kick off the world-building process by drawing a map (if your book has one, that is). I'm almost finished with having my first novel proofread, and before I had written a single sentence (back in 2017!), I created a world map. I find that the rest of...
In planning and drafting my fantasy novel, I've come to learn that the elves found in my world aren't too much like elves traditionally found in fantasy. I wanted to know if this was a problem, and if they stray too far from their origins.
Characteristics of my elves:
-Have demonic ancestry (in...
here im posting the stories and lore of the godess Prima and her druids, archdruids and some other creatures that inhabit the forests and lush jungles of Prima at the East of Nimbia, I will also include the different uses of druidcraft and accept some help from here to implement stuff and create...
so, I just wanted to post how necromancy works on my world, so it may help you:
1 . revival: reviving something is fairly simple with necromancy, you can easily revive a corpse, but, it depends in which state is the corpse to be revived, if its only bones (aka a skeleton) the energy that is...
I have been creating a world influenced/created by gods, I have honorable knights of winter, time bending nomads of autumn and (maybe holy?) druids of spring, the thing is, summer is missing, and i want them to be there, every faction has some magics associated, nercomancy and cryomancy for...
Just like the title of this thread, I would like to ask you guys to help me choose a title for my story. The story has magic-related elements in it and it's important in the story as a whole. Fire element, water element, earth element, air element, light and shadow element. My main character...
I've created my own language that is inspired by ancient/pre-historic Tagalog language but it's hard to search for specific words and phrases from that era because Google would either redirect me to Spanish colonialism or give me the Filipino term of the words I was searching for. What I need is...
Please help, I put myself in a corner.
So here goes. As my story progresses, it will be revealed that the main antagonist is a dead soul who was once a fire magic user. she was once a powerful magic user but in her time, women are oppressed so she was also belittled even though she was reaaally...
Hi! I'm writing this story where everything revolves around magic users and there are ONLY five elements (but each has many sub elements) namely fire, water, earth, air, and light and shadow. The first four elements are what we're all familiar with while the fifth element is called light and...
Hi, I'm a new member of this community but I've been going in and out of this page for months now. Anyways, I'm a wannabe writer who writes about fantasy world stories. This time, I'm writing about a world revolving around magic and has no correlation or connection to 'Earth'. My world has no...
So, I have a rough idea for a world called The Realms. Basically, there are a bunch of different dimensions (One where the gravity is random, one where giant earthworms burrow around, one full of dog hybrid creatures in a
savannah, etc) and there is an ancient evil known as The Nightlord who is...
