Requiem's Realm
5
Dear reader,
My name is Ranger Marcy, although I am known as Hiccup Haddock here on World Anvil, and I have been exploring Requiem's Realm for just under a year. I have come to love this world and the people in it, I know literally everything about them, and yet somehow, they never cease to amaze me. It's funny how characters you created can do things you never imagined they would once you start writing. I personally think that it's one of the greatest feelings in the world when you realize that your characters are really writing their own story. I am not a professional writer and I'm probably not even a very good one, Requiem's Realm has no driving conflict that moves the main plot forward. It actually doesn't have much of an overarching plot at all, it's just a place. A magical place full of
Vampires,
Elves,
Dwarves, and
Dragons but in essence, just a place. It is a world where people both normal and supernatural live normal lives and face normal problems. A stage set where one soldier's struggle to overcome her trauma is just as important as the
Demon King's plot to set the world ablaze. I won't lie to you, my writing style is unrefined and somewhat unconventional but I really enjoy doing it and I sincerely believe that if you spend a little time looking around, you will enjoy it too. I created this world because I know better than some that no matter how great a person's life is from the outside, it is never without conflict. The weight of the world weighs on everyone no matter who or what you are. By writing the stories contained within these articles I hope to let you see your own life in a better light and be more understanding of those around you while also getting to relax and take a much-needed break from reality.
