The set up of this place as it where seems simple enough to me, but I know others wont necessarily get it. Basically we have a planet called Terrallus. Terrallus is flat. For any of you who have read any of Terry Prachet's Discowrld novels think that kind of flat. you could sail right off the edge of the world and into the vast expanse of space below it. At this point where not expanding to together planets. Yet. Anyways, Terrallus has three continents as it were. Wold, Evor, and Muze. Wold is basically something like Pangaea was for our Earth and is dominated by humans. It's something like a medieval Europe/Middle-Earth mix. There are fantasy creatures and elements but they aren't as strong. Man has basically driven most of these creatures and dealings away long ago, though again they do exist. Basically just imagine our Earth and that these fantastical creatures do dwell among us, they are just hidden. Evor is basically something very much akin to Tolkien's Middle-Earth. Not much to explain. Muze is similar to Evor other than it's smaller (think Australia) and is closer to Tolkein's Undying lands in the sense that it is dominated by elves and similar lighter folk. Dunno I think of it as something with elves, nymphs, fairies, those kind of lighter' creatures or maybe more magical works better. Basically the idea is for this to be something akin to Tolkien's work. It should stay close to that class of high fantasy. It doesn't haveto be by the book Tolkien, but we're avoiding adding to many random fantasy elements into one place. Basically just think middle-earth for the most part and that should help. On thing to remember is that each continent is the entire world to those people. The people of Wold do not know of Evor or Muze. It is highly irregular for people to know of the actual existence of these places. There is simply this massive sea surrounding them that leads to the end of the world where you will fall off. Naturally you do have people who have traveled across of it and know of the existence of multiple places, but they are rare and this traveling is not common. The only real exception to the above is with Muze and Evor. They are closer together and thus their knowledge of each other is more common to some people. The myths of that foreign land is more fact to some people. However, again travel is not common and they don't really know what is actually on those places. One thing that is more of a future prospect is technology and development. Right now we don't have modern technology or anything. Again think medieval times and middle-earth. No primitive guns and what not. However in theory I'd like to have this be developed over the course of time. I'd like for some group somewhere to eventually start developing primitive guns and technology and have this technology slow implemented under monitored degrees. Going along with this, some sci-fi in a sense may be introduced. This world is flat so you could fall off into space. In theory you could just happen to land on another planet. That planet may be completely different than Terrallus in every way. Again this is just s future idea that can be developed. |
