Today's entry is about the magic of Terra. If you haven't seen the first two parts of this little worldbuilding series of mine, be sure to check out Fantasia: The World of Terra, and Fantasia: The Inhabitants of Terra.
Magic
Magic is the practice of harnessing spiritual energy that allows...
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...
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...
I’m making tech levels for my sci fi world. It starts with the
Post-Information Age, which is around (2030-2050)
Next is the Fusion Age (2050-2100)
Next is the Nano Age (2100-2150)
Next is the Age of Ascendence (2150-2200)
Finally we have the Omnipotent Age (2200+)
For each age I need an...
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.
Ok... the planet has three moons. A, B, and C. A is closest and the smallest. B is inbetween, in both orbit and size. And C is the largest and furthest away.
Lets say Moon C orbits every 60 days.
To me, that would mean that Moon B would orbit every, say... 45 days. And Moon A every 30 days...
Hello!
I stumbled upon this community looking for a list of names used for magic-users. Hoping that time spent here will bear fruit for my writing and that I may help others as well.
A little about me: My name is Taylor. I've been working on building a fantasy world for about five years now...
I was thinking about how a subterranean race would note the passage of time without the skies. The idea of using music hit me a few days ago.
I could imagine ancient Dwarves banging rocks together in rhythm to time out some task. "That's 50 clacks, turn those mole burgers over!" They could from...
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...
So, here's my thoughts.
On the world I am invisioning, the first living beings were spirits(elementals, wisps, djnn, the whole shibang). Humans were the final race to appear, (haven't yet decided how, more on that later) and had one unique, defining trait. Of every single other lifeform, they...
Another world building bit to be brought up by me, hopefully kind of interesting and maybe y'all will have a say too.
Since Eld's stories are just a part of an ongoing world Narrative (yes, same as Discworld) there is also another part. Oral and singing used to and at times still does play a...
My world will have around several continent's in the world the trouble I'm having is the various cultural adaptation along each continent and as well as more races that aren't too keen on humans and elves and etc... btw i am new to this community and I joined to expand my own knowledge hope we...
So, just going to throw this out here and thought alliteration (?) was a good way to get attention.
Anyways, on my story world of Eld, a lot of the monster line up came about either through drow alchemy or human alchemy. Though this only is in part of this. Magic was corrupted some time in the...
a drow did it better
a wizard did it
monsters
mutants
mythological monsters
this may not be as coherent as i think
wild magic did it best
worldbuilding
My fiction tends toward an irreverent and humorous take on sword and sorcery and epic fantasy. I like to think of it as Robert Howard meets Terry Pratchett and then they run head first into Douglas Adams. So when I write I like to look for old fantasy tropes and try to turn them on their heads...
I was recently inspired to create a massive Google doc of writing resources for my writing forum (but also just for people in general to use), and figured I would share the link here. A lot of them are geared toward the fantasy genre, but there's a lot of general writing links as well. Over...
