Scope
The motivation behind building Vyril
Vyril is a place for all of my fantastical creations to live and interact.
The goal of the project
It is a home for all of my characters and their stories. I'm hoping this will help create a real world for them to move and interact with, with history and a diverse culture.
Vyril's Unique Selling point
It has all of my characters and all of the things that I'm excited to write. I put it all here, so it will always have the things that will draw me back.
Theme
Genre
High fantasy and magic with mature romance and gritty, grim horror.
Reader Experience
It's an epic world with so much time and history built into it, with epic monsters, long lived races, dark depths, monsters, and fluff.
Reader Tone
The world is generally dark. There are monsters everywhere, there is nothing really good or pure, and life is a struggle. Things that are truly good, or bright, are extremely rare.
Character Agency
Characters have a great deal of agency and impact on the world around them - even though it might not always seem that way or feel like there is any hope to do anything. Vyril is shaped by the people and races on it, against seemingly insurmountable forces.
