Worldbuilding Summer Camp Prep Challenge #2 - Inspiration
This one was a lot easier than the last as I already have most of my inspiration spread across Pinterest and YouTube.
Quick Summary of Aurelia:
A flintlock fantasy book inspired by Colonial America and American folklore.
Quotes/ Poem/Text:
“The place they had thoughts on was some of those vast and unpeopled
countries of America, which are fruitful and fit for habitation, being devoid of all civil
inhabitants, where there are only savage and brutish men which range up and down,
little otherwise than the wild beasts of the same.” – Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford
“And though she be but little, she is fierce.” – Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
“Angry is good. Angry gets shit done.” – American Gods

(Niccola is a very interesting character visually. In my mind, she is kind of a mix of all three of these images)
