Scope
The motivation behind building Taeva
The world of Taeva was made to explore various ideas, and is intended to serve as a world where various stories can take place. Currently, I'm using it as the setting for an ongoing novel.
The goal of the project
I hope to create a novel and/or some short stories set in my world. A video/tabletop game might be a nice stretch goal.
Taeva's Unique Selling point
The world of Taeva is a world of discovery, with the nature of magic and the histories of the numerous lost civilisations that once ruled the world being some of the big focuses.
Additionally, I try to avoid the "Always Chaotic Evil" trope in regards to the mortal races of the world, with the only exceptions being some supernatural beings, such as unintelligent monsters and various spirits.
