Chaos, caution, and a generous portion of dark humour and puns.

Old vs new, disbelief, trust, and discovery. Trials:

About the Author
Bio
Hello! I'm TJ, the creator of the dark fantasy world of Melior! I'm a trans guy from the UK and I use this worldbuilding project as a place to express my writing, hone my design, polish my CSS, and let my imagination go wild in all of the creative ways that I can think of. By trade I'm a digital artist and graphic designer, I also dabble in CSS and in my spare time I go full-nerd making worldbuilding tools in Google Sheets - all of which are free (or pay-what-you-want) in my shop! I pride myself in creating all of the content, artwork, maps, and design in this world - it feels great to have a project that brings all of my hobbies together in one place.Motivations
I am building the world of Melior:- For fun / as a hobby
- As an exemplary world to showcase the features of World Anvil
- As a showcase of my writing, design, artwork, and CSS skills
- As a project for me to continually improve upon these skills
Goals
I'm still refining the goals for this project, but some aspirations for the future are:- To have fun!!
- To grow a community who enjoys this project as much as I do
- To create playable experiences in Melior, as solo adventures and/or as a TTRPG setting
- To create a physical lore book or encyclopedia of the world
Just write the damn thing.
