Wow! The depth to your world’s history is amazing! I notice a lot of events that could be pinpointed as particular allegories to real world events. Would you consider yourself more of an allegorical writer, or just drawing inspiration from real world history (as you would need to either way)? Do you want to make particular…[Read more]

Thank you ❤️❤️!! Yeah, Dylan hasn’t really had it sunk in yet until the scene after this one, which I’ll post if you want (once I write it lol), and he’s just reeling. Everything happens so fast and once he’s got a moment to just think…well, it’s so shocking for him, understandably. And poor Asher is just going through the s…

Yeah, that makes sense, there’s some really cool art out there!

Sorry if I’m a bit late to the conversation, but I love your world! Your races gives me a lot of DnD vibes. Do you draw from that at all? I really like the culture, and the Jewish inspiration is cool! If your still not sure about greeting phrases, here’s my take. What is something these people value deeply. You’ve mentioned that…[Read more]

Sorry I took so long to respond.
I love this! You can see the turmoil that both Dylan, and Vance seem to be going though in this scene, though Vance’s is more subtle. Vance cares for this boy, but he’s cruel, and wants to turn him into the monster he is, because that’s what he believes it means to be a man. Can’t wait to hear…[Read more]

Ok so I just lost the post I was going to do. I think it will take me a bit to retype so I am kind of sorry about not getting back about Kharvian culture yet. I was going to make a post for each of the eastern countries (and Animar which is technically not a country. At least not yet). There is also a western Kharvian…

Sorry It took me so long to get a chance to read this. I love it though! I don’t have much context, but your doing a good job at showing the turmoil Corvina is under, wanting to do what is best, but how much ‘best’ is really just what she thinks needs to happen? She doesn’t want to do anything bad, but her shadow offers…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic BRANDON SANDERSON in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 8 months ago
I can respect that. What some say is the best thing about Sanderson is that he gives great gateway stories for whoever is looking to get into darker fantasy. He knows how to just write people, and how to create an intriguing and different world, and as he says himself, he’s a showman. Maybe some might consider him the Bob…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Magic systems!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 8 months ago
Sweet! Ok, so you seem to be suggesting that the dragons were the ones who originally bore the artform of magic. Then, they taught it to the humans. But the humans need what ‘dragon stone’ to preform magic. So what is dragon stone? Is it something made from dragons? Perhaps dragon scales or something? If it’s an actual piece of a…[Read more]

Murder, She Wrote is about the (fictional) author Jessica Fletcher (a.k.a. J.B. Fletcher), ‘A famous mystery writer who has a knack for solving murders on and off the page.’ – according to the season one DVD case. She’s one of those people mysteries tend to follow around: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MysteryMagnet

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic BRANDON SANDERSON in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 8 months ago
If you go on google, he’s written at least 50 so far. But yeah, it’s actually comical how fast he can get really good books out. He’s a brilliant author who just doesn’t stop! ‘Oh yeah, here’s these 3 different 5000 page books I’m writing right now guys, here’s my progress on each, and, oh right! I almost forgot, I might as well…[Read more]

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic Magic systems!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 8 months ago
I kinda like both. I think some work better for different stories. For example, I have a story based off of Alice in Wonderland that has a very soft magic system. The explanations for why things happen are very vague and often nonsensical, because if it were any other way, it would no longer be Wonderland.
But then there are great…

About the auras. I personally don’t know much about dimensionality but I had more conceptualized it as this like mental awareness. It takes training to be able to use it and unenhanced it generally can only be expanded by about a foot from bare skin. Your basic aura (the non-enhanced one) can go through anything. The only t…

N’nesha
“We can’t have you running around with those gashes now can we?” Uvah asked. I didn’t like it, but she was right.
Neshe: That was a bit of a lack of foresight. If Uvah didn’t see me, I would have bled out.
Neshe: I don’t like her still.
Uvah proceeded to remove the splinters from my arms…[Read more]

This is a really fascinating world! Thanks for answering my questions. I’m still confused about the Oskrion though, what resets it at the beginning of the month if it only explodes at the end of the year? Calendars are so fun to think about. Omialia has some interesting day night cycles as well. There’s two ‘suns’ that…[Read more]

Liren
“This guy’s a fainter I guess. Think he passed out from pain this time?” the Man said, I still didn’t know his name. Kirrtes’s bluff seemed to be working on him unfortunately. Namal seemed far less trusting though. Perhaps she could catch me in a lie, then end things quickly.
