Allora Things

To all who should see this: hello! Welcome to another of Elizabeth’s random threads. This thread pertains to my newest story idea, which is currently running under the title The Chronicles of Allora. It’s not the official title, just a working one. I think it makes my rants, outlines, and crying fits sound cooler. More dramatic.

…anyway. Some of you might remember the brainstorming thread I created for Prison? This will be just like that. I’ll give a bit of my idea, maybe write a few short things to give insight into the story, the characters, and maybe a few plot ideas. It’s won’t be relevant to all of you KeePers and I know that, but I do enjoy hearing what you think and I’m still recovering from the chaos that was my last WIP, so…

I don’t have an actual synopsis yet, so here are a few things about Allora:

The kingdom of Allora is actually a cluster of three islands, each ruled by the same man: the Royal Commander, who, while serving as Allora’s kingly figure, is in reality in control of Allora’s military–a facet of the kingdom that has a heavy role in the plotline and the world as a whole.

I mentioned that Allora is a cluster of three islands? Each island is like a different realm; technicalities aside, the three realms flow smoothly into each other. There’s Trellor, a medieval realm, Autodon, a futuristic realm, and Bellegarde, a…what did you call it, @kate-flournoy …a dieselpunk sort of realm.  Bellegarde is the capital, where the royal family lives. The Royal Commander is the king figure, the High Diplomat is the queenly figure, and their daughter is the Commander’s Heiress, the princess figure. The Commander’s Heiress is called Evyn Quin. She’s my MC!

I also mentioned that the military plays a heavy role in Allora. The military forces are split up into different factions: Swordsmen, Archers, and Guns. Evyn is an archer; though the inhabitants of the different islands usually favor one over the other, as respective to their different technologies, one can choose to learn a different fighting style.

Now, you might be asking (probably not, but I’ll explain anyway) what exactly the military does. I’ll explain. See, while Allora is something of a peaceful place, the islands have a problem: each of their communities are plagued by different breeds of monsters. Gorgons, griffons, dragons, shades, werewolves, fire wraiths, phoenixes…you name it, they’ve got it. The military, then, essentially serves as a group of monster hunters, commissioned by the Royal Commander to keep Allora safe.

Aside from the military, though, there’s also a group of Freelancing monster hunters. This group is made up of people who were either discharged or rejected from the official military. They elect instead to go off on their own and do things their way. Freelancing is illegal in Allora, though, so…

Yikes, this post has already gotten kinda long…I’m gonna tag a few people and if y’all want to ask questions (and please do) to find out more about Allora and its inhabitants, you can.

(EDIT) All those words and I forgot to talk about Avallone…ah well, I don’t know much about the mermaid kingdom yet, but I’m open to brainstorming with anyone should y’all have ideas.
