New Year's Resolutions 2024
This article was written for the New Year's Resolutions Challenge in January 2024. It is written from an out-of-universe perspective and isn't a part of the universe of Starhome
2023 ended, long live 2024. Now it is time to figure out my creative plans for the year.
Lessons from other people
This article describes one of the deities of Malkora. Atreimus is the god of protection and light and represents the trait of Strength. While reading this article I really liked the small narrative snippet that it starts with. It is something that I should start doing in my articles. One of my favourite parts of the article is that the deity is shown having different version of himself in different regions of the world.
What eccbooks has accomplished in this article is the best example of how to present real-world issues in a fantasy setting. The way in which he blended together the descriptions of people we call trolls in real life with the fantastical aspect is just incredible.
The article tells an interesting story of a people who have adapted to the extreme climate of their planet and constantly live on the edge of night and day. I really liked the concept of the Walkers, beasts of burden that can also be used as frames for tents.
The article is an overview of a region of the world. It presents the most important events in the history of the regions and shows its inhabitants. The article also contains an interactive map through which readers can learn more about the countries of the region.
This article talks about Saráhlinel, a guardian god of communities. I like how wholesome and good he feels. That feeling is reinforced by the quotes of followers of Saráhlinel.
From the design point of view the article is simple and clean. It has clear division between different parts of the article. At the same time, while reading everything flows smoothly from one part to another.
There are two things I like the most about this article. The first one is the inclusion of quotes of an in-universe researcher studying the myth. The second thing is how the article presents the deities as having a family and life that seem almost human. Just the scale of the problems is bigger.
This article describes the significance of the number 10 in the world and presents the funny reason for it. I like how it starts very serious and ends in a more funny and comedic way.
This article talks about a soldier and a hunter who really enjoys what he is doing. I like how the beginning of the article makes you think like this is all to the character, but later you learn about his personal reasons for such a life and his struggles.
This article talks about the practice of monster hunting on the frozen planet of Daglaci, the reasons for it (melting ice) and socio-political environment around it (poor oppressed by the rich). It is an interesting approach to talking about social inequality in a society.
What I like about this article is the architecture description. It isn't just a description of how the building looks like, but also explores the meaning of the parts of the temple. For example, each tower being dedicated to one of the deities worshipped in the temple. Such small details really breathe life into a world.
Thank you for including Monster Hunting! <3 hope you have an epic 2024!
