Creating a World- An Introduction and The Goals
I have always wanted to write a book. Not just any book; a good one. One that creates an entire universe and populates it; maybe not even a single book, maybe a whole series. Anyway, that’s not why this whole section is here. Instead this section will create a universe. As a basic foundation it will be similar to any Fantasy book or movie you have read. There will be Elves, Dwarfs, Goblins and Dragons. Instead of creating a world defined by the genre and within a tired cliche, I will try to breath new life into the old themes; in such a way that the universe I create is unique while still be familiar and accessible.
A little background: The world I’m going to imagine here has been knocking around my head for a long time. Actually a lot of it is stuff that came from the Arathria Chronicles game elsewhere on the site. The main reason I stopped making the game is because I knew it could not possibly measure up to the world I was creating. However through the upcoming articles I hope to be able to fully flesh out the world from the basics such as the composition of the world to the more intricate subjects such as the flow of energy and the foundations of intelligence. Hopefully I can do what I envision justice.
Also filtered through the descriptive and technical articles I hope to develop my fiction writing skills and write some short stories to elaborate on the ideas I write about.
