Summer Camp 2019

July Festivities

This is a collection of articles written during the 2019 Summer Camp. These articles can be found in other places throughout the world, but they are listed here for ease of finding as part of Summer Camp. Note: I joined World Anvil halfway through Summer Camp. The prompts completed were done in about 10 days. Unfinished prompts may be finished during NaNoWriMo 2019 or WorldEmber 2019.

Day 1

Amaratharr Valley

Geographic Location | Jan 29, 2023

Day 2

Aelinor Oaks

Day 5

Dead Sea of the Timbers

Day 6

Seraph Tree

Building / Landmark | Jan 29, 2023

Faelon

Settlement | Jan 31, 2023

Day 8

Aelinor Elk

Species | Jan 9, 2023

Hoofbeats mumble across the ground as the moss and grasses mute the heavy blows. Shadows weave through the trees, their antlers projected by the fading sun, stretching and twisting further than any one could grow.

Nerra Revane

Character | Jan 29, 2023

The Outlanders call her the Forestwalker, one who walks effortlessly through the forest, no matter the predator or the prey that follows. Her clan name is ancient, as old as the Outlands, as it strikes fear and awe into those who speak it.
