Worldbuilding Ask Game - Tumblr Posts

Not really sure this is what I'm supposed to do but I'm too tired to figure it out. For this post we'll be doing... The Tale of Filv Shepherd

Gaus is split into three kingdoms, the largest and most powerful being the kingdom of Tral, with it's neighbors the kingdom of Kinton and the kingdom of Done

Kinton has some political issues going on and being "sorted out" but there not focused on much

Depends where they're from. Filv lives in a hamlet so small there have no real concept of money, but this is an exception. Tral is for the most part full of "wealthy" provinces, but this mainly means that people are constantly well fed and able to afford the occasional luxuries

Yes. The biggest being Runior, followed by Ver and Benna, followed by: Falk, Filk, and Fenna. Plus some others depending on religion and location but they're not focused on

Most dress simply, even the wealthy, in several layers of mismatched and hand sewed cloths

The first war, when the three great champions of craft and carving lead armies upon the dark mountains, seeking genocide upon the other

Runior's blessing, a common myth revolving what happens after death, it's gradually becoming a religion though

The Silenced make it their mission to see every dead body attending to properly wrapping them in black cloth and saying prayers only they understand before lighting the bodies aflame. They will kill to ensure this happens. But if they do not find out which is the case in small places it's up to whoever cares the most of general belief. In Filv's hamlet the dead are returned to their homes and talked of as if still alive

Murder? Well there is a war going on in Kinton so that kinda tips the scale towards pickaxe to the face, but in just Tral it'll be dueling which is legal if you don't cheat. Eventually a far crueler method will eventually rise to be more common though

Again depends on location. General answer is don't do it, but if you do you'll be fine in a year or two once you get through the drama and repercussions. Some local groups will violently enforce abstinence before marriage with dueling to enforce good faith, but if you're good with a blade that might be okay.

Poor citizens like in Filv's hamlet take good care of their appearance, but good isn't he case for everyone. General people have a decent look to them, not particularly fair but enjoyable to the right person. The wealthy radiate, nobody knows how

Depends so here's three: an assortment of potatoes, salad bread and whatever meat is handy, similar to before but far more better cuts and greener plants, plus fun little rarities that pop up now and then to make it more interesting

Once every two years every member of Filv's hamlet over 15 walks alone in a direction for roughly 100 miles, when they return they throw a large feast and tell stories or sing of everything they saw

The world was the first thing created, crafted and carved by Ver and Benna, the coupled gods of life and death

It's just kind of a random fantasy setting for a story I thought would be neat to tell. Maybe good was a terrible idea? Should my setting be more thought out, or my story made more original? Jeez I suck at this brainstorming thing or whatever we're doing

Cok, it's basically a baked potato

Every time an evil rises and attacks Tral utilizing this dark power, it's actually the same dark power even centuries later, nobodies been able to get rid of it

Farmer, a lot of people are just born into it

Games I grew up with. Why I should probably think of something new instead of trying to make an old idea work just cause it has a couple scenes I really really like

Considering The Silenced due have the law on their side, maybe It's to them when someone is dead

Welp, this has been a mess, I suck and am tired, goodnight

WINE - What is the most broken law?

Pretty sure people are supposed to ask you these, but I like just answering all of them by myself

Going with my wip Downfall again cause it has the most notes and background worked on, and specifically lets go with Michael

Well I suppose it would depend on the person a little, but seeing as at the point of the story Michael has gone from killing the unkillable to never killing anyone it would have to be a required action to save Sam and Cullen

Going with the first and biggest example(which can't be applied to everything but is the most fun), with a gruesome and terrifyingly unstoppable conquest of Holh to, as previously mentioned, kill the unkillable

He talks too much about things that are secret, because of that he only ever gets drunk when alone with Seolfor

They largely serve as a mentor character(in a Halt from Ranger's Apprentice kinda way), and keep Sam and Cullen alive as they learn about the dangers of Ruere

No comment

No, he's had a couple of stints with Seolfor

Protecting Sam and Cullen from Alius

His Cabin is run flawlessly and without mess or laziness

That's a really good question, I have no idea

Sure can

"Candy" isn't entirely a thing outside of the Silver City, but when visiting Seolfor he makes sure to try some things out, not sure if I would call it a sweet tooth though

Depends on the location, if it's in Holh they'd ignore it, if it's just somewhere random he would investigate carefully and prepare for a fight

Who's asking? He does join the war against Alius, but only so he can keep trying to save Sam and Cullen

A rock their sister treasured

As established he's largely against killing, but if needed he can pretty much pick up any odd object or weapon and do some damage thanks to his old days

Seolfor, often out of anger but not always

I don't know what that means, love language?

Their sister before she died

He's not a really material person

Not any more thanks to Alius, and he's not the only person Alius has that affect on

Let's do a three for three :D Or just answer whichever you find the most interesting

Tell me about the order in which your characters (in any WIP) will die in a horror movie

Which villain are you proud of making?

Do you have any repetitive tropes or themes in your story?

-Okay can't do Downfall because then they would just gang up on the villain/monster. The Box only has one character so can't do it either. The Assassin from Norm: Jeffery dies first cause he's a kid, then Charles who accidentally sets himself on fire while fighting, Theo then kills the villain/monster, and The Invincible Empire of course would survive regardless cause he's, you know, invincible

-The answer is totally Alius, he's just the worst. Fun fact, when I first started writing the Downfall series, I actually got upset about how monstrously evil he was and had to take a break, now I'm back and just making him way worse. I also really like The Angel of Pains description in The Box

-Not sure I actually entirely understand, but think I do. For The Box I'd say despair, for Downfall I'd say perseverance against something collosal, for The Assassin from Norm I'd say fighting against tyranny

Not sure if I did this right, hope I did
