Yeah, that does work! In a dark cell, it is hard to tell time. Not to mention Ravenna has been running around with this magic for some time. So it must have settled and will now rebel. You're right. This also does work. So I will do this instead. And true, like when one exercises and the next day, one is tired because of work done the day before.
Thank you! I have the next post planned. I will ALSO, like I have been promising since his invention, make Nalki a character sheet. Along with Charin.
@Gravy In your most recent post the dialogue tags between Olive and Gamma got flipped around. Original: Latest Post:
Okay, here is a first draft of the world map. It's not complete yet... the earth region needs to be made. I'm waiting for some textures to extract from a big archive. I'm trying to keep this simple but meaningful. The map is divided by four regions: Fire, water, air, and earth. Why? Because in ancient times, mages of these four fundamental elements split up into their own lands as tribes. They fought wars, made alliances, and so on... In later more recent times, these regions joined together to form a single entity under the rule of a monarch. The monarch's latest descendant is, of course, Queen Melina. I'm not sure what to call this bloc. I'm tempted to call it the "United Kingdom" and stay just a little bit close to the real world, but that's probably not a good idea. You'll also notice that there is a big river named "The River of Beginnings". The name is based on @Gravy's myth story. It's where life is thought to have originated. You can see how it spreads across the country to signify that further. The Fire and Air regions have the smallest land. The Water region has the next biggest, and the Earth region has the biggest of all. The earth region is where the country's capital is. Why? Because the royal family is made of earth mages, so they placed the capital in their own land during the formation of the bloc. I have no idea what the archipelago is. I randomly remembered the archipelago visible from the village I'm from, so I couldn't help myself but add it. It might turn interesting down the line. That said, this map is totally open to changes. Come up with something new in the story and I can add it!!! The map is a high resolution image, so it's zoom friendly. You should zoom if you want to inspect it more closely. Maps are meant to be closely looked at. Spoiler: Map
Wow, wow, wow! @ps102 - this is absolutely incredible and opens up so many possibilities for the story. I wonder if Olive will make it to the Pearlfrost City or the Chasli town?? I expect that the tavern is in the Earth Region?
I was thinking that we were in Pearlfrost, mostly because it's a city by the river and a river has been mentioned multiple times in our story. However, there is no reason as to why we can't be in the capital. The capital will be a walled city but we can still place the tavern by the river. I'm fine with whichever! We can add even more than that to make the world bigger! These are just what I initially came up with. Anyone can just give the word and the map will have a new place... or even country. I can do anything anyone wants. This is a team effort after all! (Just don't make me add ten countries at once. That would take a while...)
Okay, it's decided, the tavern is on the outskirts of Pearlfrost City. Between the air and earth regions! I think what you have come up with will serve our story adequately. It in effect opens up a whole new world.
It is your turn until Sunday, @SoulFire! Here's your requested reminder. Can't wait to see what you write!
ANNOUNCEMENT Since the site was down for 2 days, 2 days have been added to @SoulFire's turn. Your turn ends Tuesday.
Hey, are you guys making hard copies of all this? Copying/pasting all the entries into an external document or something? God forbid we have a serious outage and things get lost, with all the work you've put in (great job with all that BTW). We aren't going to let that happen if we can help it, but you never know.
I am making hard copies of the Official Roleplay Posts. But I WILL begin saving Lore and Characters, etc. today. I should have done it earlier, but yes. With all the outages, I should begin doing that just in case. (Thank you! Everyone is awesome and I love building this world with them.) I know you all are doing what you can, but I agree. This site can be fickle. So I will begin saving all the lore, etc. today.
I made Nalki and his husband's Character Profiles here: https://www.writingforums.org/threads/it-began-in-a-tavern-character-development.178066/#post-2046601 I would like your feedback before approval. If you have no detailed thoughts, but like them, just press 'like'.
