I hope to get many books worth of stories out of this world and capture the interest of lots of readers through the stories.

My world combines pantheon-based magic, a melting pot of races, epic fantasy, and magi-tech that creates lots of exploration, intrigue, and relational complexity.
Theme
Genre
My world is Epic Fantasy, High Magic, Young Adult, Coming-of-Age, Fantasy with some magi-tech thrown in.
Reader Experience
The world feels exciting, dangerous, full of adventure, dark at times, and it's a big world with plenty of people and places to explore.
What Is The Scale Of The World In This Story?
The scale is the kingdom of Octiragrin and it's capital, Tirfalon. Other countries/regions have interaction with Octiragrin, but it is the main focus.What Is The Mood Of Your World
The mood of this world is Noble Bright with some darker elements at times. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but nothing is impossible.Reader Tone
World is mysterious, full of dark intrigue. Think Valdamar and The Belgariad.
Recurring Themes
- Friendship / cooperation
- Defense of the country and its government from inside and outside forces
- Recurring theme of things seeming fine on the surface, but being corrupt beneath
Character Agency
The point of these stories is for the characters to change their world. So, character agency is very high. The changes may be good or bad, but it will be meaningful to the region or maybe even the whole world.
