Spooktober 2024

October Writing Gauntlet

With the last couple of months being a bit quiet with worldbuilding, its time to get back to stub squashing and fleshing out more of Isekai. Currently, there are over 1100 articles in the world that either need to be written or need some clean up before they can be shared so hopefully a few more can be completed this month to shave that number down, no matter how little. Historically, October has been a rather busy month but after surviving the chaos of a packed July and Summer Camp, I am ready for whatever this month may throw out me. Because my schedule seems rather open, I have impoised some rules on Spooktober this year that will make it a little different.

All articles must be stubs (minus the one that hasn't been made yet but was a SC plan)
An article template can only be used 3 times within the prompts. If I've already done 3 species articles, then that's it.
The articles don't have to be spooky, but some of them will be just because of the nature of Isekai.

Shiftrex will also be joining Spooktober with some pixel art this year which is super exciting! We're both hoping to complete at least 13 of the prompts but hopefully we'll be able to complete more if time allows.

Breath

Crystal Blizzard

Physical / Metaphysical Law | Oct 24, 2024

Named the Crystal Blizzard, the phenomenon has existed since before the appearance of the Elder Races in the world, blanketing every inch of the Neither Tundra in a heavy blizzard that changes throughout the year.

Depths

Lair

Teeth

Mount Qimbyr

Geographic Location | Oct 24, 2024

Mount Qimbyr may be one of the Spikes of Kallex, but is a rather unassuming mountain. It is not one of the tallest of the Spikes, nor does it shine like the scales of Dragons, so it is often passed over as just another peak.

Fur

Dire Bears

Species | Oct 18, 2024

Dire bears are by far the largest of the dire species to appear in the world as megaflora and fauna became more common. At their simplest description, dire bears are nothing more than oversized bears that have grown beyond their means.

Scales

Metallic Dragons

Species | Oct 25, 2024

Metallic Dragons are direct descendants of the Dragon God Kallex, their eggs left within the "Metallic Council" to hatch and prosper in the fledgling world. Seen as the Dragons of benevolence, Metallic Dragons are often noted to be the good Dragons.

Eye

Scroll Reconstruction

Technology / Science | Oct 25, 2024

Scroll reconstruction is the process of utilizing a heat-sensitive sticky backing to repair scrolls that have been damaged. While magic is often a viable option for repair, older scrolls and thin parchment are subject to greater damage if magic is used.

Ancient

Dwarf

Rank/Title | Oct 7, 2024

The title of Dwarf is not one earned, often noted as more difficult to receive than the coveted title of Adamantine Smith. To be granted such a title is to become a Dwarf, be part of the Dwarven Kingdom, and share in their success and progress.

Horned

Mutated

Aberration

Horrific Lords

Rank/Title | Oct 23, 2024

The nightmare of Eldritch beings is a reality that must be recognized, but then so too must the Horrific Lords, the nine Eldritch beings that are recognized above all others. These are beings of incredible power, recognized by their names and followers.

Tongue

Armored

Space

Spine of Kallex

Geographic Location | Oct 24, 2024

The longest mountain range in the world that extends from the northeastern shores of the Neither Tundra, through the Elven Forest, the Fairy King's Wood and down to the southern shore where it passes through the Little Greenwood.

Predator

Assassins

Profession | Oct 18, 2024

Assassins are the most well-known of the dark professions as their jobs often have the farthest-reaching consequences. These people are seen to be doing the "dirty work" of gangs, cults, politicians, and others in positions of power.

Deafening

Cannoniers

Profession | Oct 18, 2024

Cannoniers are far from magical, but the outcomes they create can often be compared to magic or the divine. These people take risks into their own hands, shaping them with precision into a fiery success that can change the outcome of a lengthy battle.

Grotesque

Horrors of the Silver Moon

Myth | Oct 23, 2024

The Horrors of the Silver Moon tells of the end of the world at the hands of the Eldritch horrors. Created during the Eldritch War, the prophecy tells of an event similar to the Eldritch War but there are no longer any heroes or magic left.

Petrifying

Criminal Metals

Material | Oct 3, 2024

Criminal Metals are those that have been the most tied with nefarious natures and the blackest sides of society, but this is not necessarily the truth.

Otherworldly

Winged

Owls

Species | Oct 3, 2024

Owls are one of the most common birds of prey found throughout Isekai. Variations of this bird are scattered across the world, from the cold north of the Giant Steps Three and the Neither Tundra to the former Island of Blessings in the south.
