Tales of Aran'sha - A sky full of stars

Ahlan wa salan my dear friends. The embers still glow, but now its time for the brightest stars of Worldanvil to shine. This will be the second time I take part in the worldbuilding awards and I'm excited to be here. Last time was a blast already - and I'm sure this time will be no different. Aran'sha has changed so much over the last year and gotten so many articles I like, I had a hard time to pick anything at all. I hope you enjoy my selections and love to share them with you.
So...shall we go and explore who made the final cut?

  A last word before we dive in: Dont forget to check the bottom of this article where you can find quite a few other authors and their incredible works.

The night sky is a silent book, each star a wondrous tale, written in starlight and hope.

Azahar Salame, Kaharan Poet

 

Best world


Well, what else could I bring for this category - I'm aware of some areas that need improvement and have plans to adress them. However - this world is my writers heart and soul and I'd like to take you an journey trough it. So, lets aim for the stars and see what we can do together.


 

Best article

 

This was HARD to pick. However, after I narrowed it down to three choices The Waters of Immortality, Kaharan Bellydancing and The End of Days: A Shattered Land, this one felt the most..polished. It's a bit darker than one might expect from Aran'sha, but thats one of the things I love about it.



 

Hearts and Minds

Indeed close to my heart, this magical submission takes you onto a journey trough one of the oldest traditions of Aran'sha.
Kaharan Bellydancing
Tradition / Ritual | May 16, 2025

As old as the kaharan people themselves, this is much more than just a dance...

Wondrous Nature

One of the most unique animals I have written so far, they were the first inhabitants of Shiran Da'har - The Serpent's Maze

A crystal ghost of the caves, a single light in the dangerous dark.

 

Strength and Honor

Ah, the house of trade - I am super proud of this article, but was not able to fit all it could be into it during the challenge - this changes now and once voting start it will hopefully be a shining star

Pillars of Progress

This is an old article, in fact one of my first ones. But for this year, I have completely rewritten it to bring it to life. So, lets explore the origin of kaharan obsidian - a journey not quite like any other

Myths and Legends

A prophecy of darkness and the end of the world - this one was a blast to write and its one of my favorite works - and it could be yours too!
The End of Days: A Shattered Land
Myth | Aug 3, 2024

An ancient scroll and a prophecy. What will Tariq find within?

     

The sky is full of stars

 
This community is as full of potential as the nightsky itself - and this where you can find a look at the clear sky. These are people's labours of love, sweat and tears so I highly recommend you look to the skies and let them take you on a journey. I searched far and wide for those articles, so if I missed yours - drop me a comment to be included!

Already added, thanks! And good luck to you too, you have a great lineup.


Sit down, my friend, and let me tell you of Aran'sha . A world where the sands shift and the stars sing, where the wind carries secrets and the twin moons keep silent vigil over it all.
