Hello, fellow worldbuilders and dreamers!
This year, I decided to take the leap and do something that I’d never imagine I would do. With the encouragement of this amazing and wholesome community, I finally overcame my second thoughts and went all in for World Anvil’s Worldbuilding Awards 2025 (WAWA)! I’m thrilled to share that my main high fantasy world, Kena'an, has been submitted for the Best Newcomer category! This world has been my labor of love for many years, and the decision to submit it was both exciting and nerve-wracking. But that’s not all! Some of my favorite articles have also been entered into the following categories: Best Worldbuilding Article (The Suntouched), Hearts and Minds (Dreamcrest Weaving), Rise of Nations (Tir' naru), Wondrous Nature (Onyx Luna). I'll be honest. I don’t expect to go far in the competition- there are so many talented creators here- but entering itself feels like a victory. It’s helped me see the value in my work and given me the confidence to share it with all of you.But wait, there’s more! With the new year comes a brand-new world: Crux Umbra.
Crux Umbra is a dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic setting inspired by many genres that I adore. It’s a world of vampires, magic, ancient prophecies, and above all, the enduring mortal will to survive. It’s been a challenge to exercise patience (not exactly my strongest suit), but I’m excited and confident to finally share a first glimpse of this new creation with you all.
2025 is already shaping up to be an incredible year, and I can’t wait to continue this journey. Your support means the world, and I’m so grateful to be part of such an inspiring and welcoming space.
Thank you for being here, and here’s to a year filled with creativity, growth, and shared dreams!
Let me know what you think of Crux Umbra, and if you’re participating in WAWA, drop your entries below so I can cheer you on too!
