Tilandrial

Year 472 of the Fifth Era

Scope

The motivation behind building Tilandrial

A need to get it out of my head and written down so I don't lose it. Also, I wanted a fantasy world based on my own rules, not someone else's ideas on how magic should work, etc.

The goal of the project

Right now it's just for fun, but I do hope to write novels in this setting or even run a campaign.

Theme

Genre

High fantasy, with magic being commonplace and not disappearing at all. All magic draws from one of the eight elements.

Reader Experience

The past is meant to have a huge presence. There should be a general mystical feeling, and a want to explore everywhere you can.

Reader Tone

Tilandrial is somewhere in the middle. For the most part, it is more pleasant than difficult to live there. However, both horrible and wondrous things can happen to the most ordinary of people.

Focus

Right now, I want to focus on expanding the Shirk, their city, and surrounding areas by November 2022.   Reason?   I want to write a first draft about the re-opening of Shirk'la by Emika, which is a novel that's been bouncing around my head for years and I want to get it all down by the end of the year. Building up all the areas she will explore, plus other surrounding areas that probably wont factor into the story except for background details.
