Introduction to the concept of the novel - Part II

The worldlink

 
If you have read Part I, you know the very origin of mankind.

But there are still secret connections between Elaqitan and the earthly world almost six millennia later - be it through legends and myths, through mythical creatures that have found a way to the earthly world themselves or through people who secure the entrances to Elaqitan.

Learn more about it in upcoming worlds.
Not all people left Idaka. Some stayed and merged with the cultures of elemental creatures. Most Homo Elaqitanii migrated to the vast Misty Wilds, where they maintained little contact with the other inhabitants of Elaqitan. There they gathered their strength, subdued Idaka and established two great empires. Over time, their will to conquer the rest of Elaqitan grew stronger, and war broke out between the humans and the Elaqitanians.
A humble Elaqitan was sent on a journey to search the mundane world for Ascended.

The novel begins with the visitor's arrival in Dresden in the 18th century. (Prologue ). 200 years later after the end of World War II, Germany is bombed and occupied. Here the visitor finds the chosen ones who have to decode a book together to find the way to Elaqitan.

Mir gefällt die Idee das du sowohl dem Leben in Dresden, als auch dem Leben in Elaqitan Zeit einräumst, ehe die Protagonisten dort auftauchen.
Erinnert mich an eine Mischung aus Narnia und der Unendliche Geschichte und Sturmzeiten(Wilde Lupinien-) Klingt reizvoll!
Aufgrund der vielzahl der Hauptprotagonisten wäre interresant welche Erzählstruktur du wählen möchtest? Omnisicht wie in einer Märchenerzählung (Unendliche Geschicht) oder Personenbezogene Kapitel mit eingeschränkter Gedankenwelt des jeweiligen Highlight Charakters (Lied von Eis und Feuer / Die Elfen / Die Zwerge) oder wird alles aus der Sicht eines einzelnen Charakters erzählt (Noir-Romane)?

Have a look at my entrys for:
  • Blue Fairy 74's look into the Stars - #Astralis Challenge: The Fennân Observatory
  • DaniAdventures Romance-Ception! Challenge Ballade von der Silberelfe
  • my Adventure April short story Einer dieser Tage

    Oh Nightone, eiskalt erwischt! Vielen Dank für Dein tolles Feedback und sehr guten Hinweis. Bisher hatte ich nicht wirklich über die Erzählperspektive nachgedacht, sondern eher drauf losgeschrieben. Aber es ist wohl ein Mix aus Märchenerzählung (Vorgeschichte aus dem Buch) und personenbezogene Kapitel (Abenteuer in Elaqitan). Ich werde es im Text ergänzen, wenn ich noch einmal sorgfältig darüber nachgedacht habe. Viele Grüße Blue
