My world is heavily inspired by modern western fantasy. It's got Elves, Dwarves, Orcs and Humans as well as other more original races but I feel the classics have a good archetype that can be used well. Tearim is a fantastical world with monsters, magic and mystery but I have attempted to keep it grounded in, if not a historical than, a realistic setting. The other important aspect of any good series is the Characters. I strive to show the "gray" morals of my characters and how no one is a perfect hero nor a complete dark lord villain.
