To the 3 people following me, guess what. I’m writing my first book, here’s draft 1 of the prologue

Alterra: The Fall of Lord Valthoraxe

Prologue

The following scripture has been translated from High-Norcurn, several species and creatures have been renamed to a version of that creature better understood by your population. To aid in understanding, any replaced word will be slanted. If a creature has a name you do not recognize, there is likely no suitable alternative in your culture, fictional or otherwise.

The planet of Alterra lies in the Black Eye Galaxy, in a solar system called Galfrei X. The system has only 4 planets and 1 G-type White-Yellow Giant star. Alterra is an Earth-like planet with 48 hour days and an average gravitational pull of 1,65g’s on the surface. However, under the surface and underground is a place very much like hell. Beneath that, a black hole that is only held back by a layer of extremely dense enchanted rock. The inhabitants of Alterra are at a point in technological advancement slightly beyond Earth’s medieval period. The dominant intelligent species are humans, dwarves, Elves, along with a few half-orks, and half-golems. The humans are a power-seeking race that adapt using their intellect to overcome challenges. The dwarves are incredibly strong for their small size, being very talented at extreme physically demanding tasks such as blacksmithing and mining. The Elves are extremely proud and think themselves above all else, however their stubbornness makes them unwilling to progress with new advancements. The half-orks are great warriors and are the only thing between a full-scale war with the orks. The half-golems have strong, stone-like hide that can stop a steel blade. They do not tire, nor do they need nutrition, and they are by far the most racially disliked species, being hated by all but the dwarves. Each race has a different form of power, the humans and elves with their ancient magiks, the dwarves with their devastating weaponry and ever advancing firearms, the orks and half-orks with their brutality and numbers, and the golems with durability and sheer brute force.

All these races serve purposes beyond their own self-interests in one way or another. The human warlocks stop the spread of the Droughted by draining all life in the land around it, creating the dried mesa they reside in. The high-elves protect the forests from evils who seek the destroy it. The dwarves provide resources to the lands below their mountains, and fight the monsters that rise from the depths. The half-orks are in a constant political struggle to prevent war. The half-golems built the 5 great kingdoms of unity, places where all races can live together without prejudice.

And then there’s Lord Valthoraxe, an evil tyrant who betrayed the races, kills for sport and claimed ownership over the entire planet. It resides in a hell of its own design referred to as The Lord’s Wastelands. It is not of any race seen prior nor since, and has the ability to control fire in its entirety. Its name brings fear to all, few even dare mention it, and fewer still attempt to stop it.
