Exploring Spiritual Roots and Guild Lore in Realm of Origin (Fantasy Blog)

Hi everyone!
I’ve been building out a fantasy world over at Realm of Origin, where we’re blending cultivation-inspired lore with classic guild structures, spiritual root awakenings, and divine blessings.


Our latest blog post dives into:


  • The meaning and function of spiritual roots
  • Guild systems (with classes like Craftsman, Healer, Adventurer, and more)
  • Blessings from gods, beasts, and spirits

It’s still a growing world, and I’d love feedback or ideas from other lore builders. You can read the full post here: Realm Of Origin


Let me know what you think, or share how you handle power systems or spiritual hierarchies in your own worlds!

Its too much for me to sift through, and world building is not really my passion. But I do wish you luck with it.

Thanks for asking. Like many here, I am probably most interested in what is currently before me in my writing difficulties. My question now, as I move into book 5 is how to keep the bad guy threatening, and engaging, and formidable, while the good guy is coming doesnt mean to mince words. But...

Mostly I am interested in story, which begins with conflict and not world building. I hate to say, but so many new users pop in and say 'look at my world building' or 'look at my magic system'... Those are elements of an RPG, but not really story. Many here will certainly look at them, but I really does not matter how fleshed out your world is. If you have no story, you going nowhere. Just playing in the sandbox making sand castles. I want to help you with craft and story, but world building...you may not beleive, but you already have enough.
