worldbuilding!!✨
Hello friends!
I’m back and better than ever!! ᕱ__ᕱ This past week I have felt much, much better and, while I don’t want to jinx it, I think I should be looking forward to sunshine and clear skies for the next few weeks in the mental health department so that's always good news. I don’t have very much commentary this week, and I don’t want to keep y’all for longer than I need to in light of last week's heavier post, so I figured I would keep this one short and sweet. The main thing I have made progress on in the last few days is world building. Now, keep in mind that all of this is still in it’s beginning stages so things may likely change in the future, but for now here is a basic outline of some of the fantasy races and magic system in my story:
Lore
Elven Kind - the Atharenel
Names come from celtic, russian/slavic, germanic, french
Ailidh’s people have celtic names
Ruslan’s people have russian/slavic names
Two other main groups of Atharenel
one has germanic names
one has french names
The Atharenel are fully mortal and have normal lifespans much like humans
However they have a highly increased ability for magic
Along with a deeper connection to the natural world
And they have slightly enhanced abilities
Naturally mildly faster
Stronger
More flexible, etc.
Humans
Names come from misc languages
latin, hebrew, spanish, japanese, chinese, arabic, african dialects etc.
Some have ability for magic but at a much lower rate than the atharenel
And naturally powerful magic users are rare
Often use objects of power to help channel and amplify magic
Staffs, wands, rings, etc
Often utilize spells to help direct and shape magic specifically

Magic system - STILL NEEDS QUITE A BIT OF WORK
Magic is highly connected to nature
Magic enhances nature and follows an extension of most natural laws
There is always a reaction to an action
Something can’t be made of nothing
Stuff doesn’t just happen because
Light magic (or Life magic) refers to the magic of healing, growing, creating
Dark magic (or Death magic) refers to the magic of aggression, death, destruction
NONE OF THIS TYPE OF MAGIC IS “BAD MAGIC”
Life and death magic exist on a balance, they are yin and yang, there simply is not one without the other
However there is such a thing as “bad magic” and that is corrupted magic
This is the type of magic that creates things like the shadow army
It tilts the balance between light and dark out of balance
It twists nature itself into something unnatural and seems to come with no cost
Shadow Army do not have names

That’s pretty much all I have for y’all today. As you can tell, this is a pretty basic outline and some of the details are still vague and wishy-washy, but as I devote more time to this project I hope my vision becomes more and more clear. Only time will tell I suppose. Next week I will hopefully have some more characters developed for you all as recently many have been fighting to be released from my brain. We shall see. Until next time! ᕱ__ᕱ
Always remember to dot your j’s and cross your t’s!
