I got it on my computer, and I’m seeing the same thing.

@esther-c

Cool! You can be vague if you want. I am curious, but for the sake spoilers, I can be patient. I’m really bad at that, when I’m asked about something about my worldbuilding, even though it would be a spoiler, I just kinda dump it all out. I need to work on being more vague.

@otherworldlyhistorian

Thanks for setting up the forum!

I’ve already talked a lot about the current nature of my universe on the spiritual side. So while I’ll continue working on that more and mention it here, I’ll likely post more about the different religions in my world that are in varying proximity to the truth.

@esther-c

I will sign the petition!

@esther-c

That’s a really great point. So, Ami does know what the sun looks like and what sunrays are. The Orb simulates the weather in a way where it looks pretty real, but it regularly flickers, or doesn’t adjust to the weather outside. For example, weather can penetrate the Orb (like, rain can go through it), but the technology of the Orb was…

I like it. However I think the second two could be shortened somehow. At least the second could be turned into Afterthoughts of the Abandoned or something, unless the Left Behind is a particular reference to a group by that name. Either way, they’re good titles for the series!

@esther-c

I love it! I think the descriptions are good, but I do have a few questions. How well simulated is the Orb’s sunrise? Would it look cartoonishly fake? Like a yellow spot going up and down, or does the Orb make it look far more like the real thing, and they just knew it was fake? If it look looks like a giant bright yellow dot that goes…[Read more]

So, the powers are hereditary. And because there is a lot of prejudice and hate between each country, families have stayed in the same country for generations. They don’t leave their country, and they don’t marry outside of it. Am I making any sense, lol?

Cool! Watch Avatar the Last Airbender, it is very akin to this, and it’s jus…[Read more]

@otherworldlyhistorian

I feel like I am more of a taking inspiration from history person because most of the things I do take end up being changed to fit the story and work differently from their real life versions. Usually I use the real history as a basis and then end up tweaking it a bunch. A good example is Laizha Brin. The original…

@artsy-dragon

These look epic! Is this for anyone’s dragon art? Or do you want this reserved for your portfolio?

@otherworldlyhistorian

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]

@lightoverdarkness6

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…

@godlyfantasy12

Your welcome!!! Thanks! linguistics is always really fun to think about!

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

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@lightoverdarkness6

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]

@otherworldlyhistorian

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…

@artsy-dragon

Love the dragon! Good detailing!

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@otherworldlyhistorian

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]
