Should probably introduce myself!

I'm a non-binary (He/They) creator. I focus primarily on worldbuilding and writing but I'm experimenting with writing novels and new media!

I'm an avid player of D&D and other TTRPGs (including creating some of my own!)
vibrantworlds.co.uk
Today I'm trying to finally get used to my hectic schedule and find the motivation to get writing again!

I was able to just about hit my goals in November, but I am steadily far behind my goals in December. So Look forward to musings about my #worldbuilding and #WorldEmber

Woo! Today is the start of my attempt to complete a challenge outside of November and July.

I've been slowly working away at Swordtember in a build up to my birthday using #WorldAnvil to build new magical items.

Now I want to complete their #Spooktober event for the first time in years!

Let's Go!

Like Mariah Carey in November, I am defrosting to once again start posting here!

I'm currently exploring new worldbuilding challenges to work voice into my world. Maybe I'll finally get my stories written down!

Hey all! Its been a while!

Life has thrown a few obstacles in my way at the end of last year. But #DungeonYear is back!

I'm hoping to find a way to catch up with myself by making sets of days based on a theme.

This first set is NPCs for Days 11 - 14!

#worldbuilding #writing #dnd
Page of worldbuilding with an NPC - Mayor of Faranvale Name: Daryl Bransby (He/Him) Ancestry: Grassfolk History: Once just a simple farmer in Faranvale, Daryl became the mayor through a collection of political moves that resulted in him becoming a more popular member of the community by providing discounts for the businesses and influential people in the town. Secrets: Daryl's political appointment was to serve his own ends. Along with the Captain of the Guard (NPC-003), they have been allowing the smuggling of ancient artifacts of significant value. In doing so, both of them have taken their own cut of ancient powers to protect themselves. One of Daryl's early dealings with the smugglers led to him killing the beloved previous mayor. Page of worldbuilding with an NPC - Captain of the Guard Name: Thalos Marefoot (He/Him) Ancestry: Human History: For years, Thalos has served the community. First as a simple member of the guard. Once he took down an invasion of strange creatures single handedly, resulting in a commendation by the guard and eventually his current position as Captain of the guard. Secrets: Along with the Mayor of Faranvale (NPC-002), they have been allowing the smuggling of ancient artifacts of significant value. In doing so, both of them have taken their own cut of ancient powers to protect themselves. Thalos found Daryl over the body of the previous mayor, and in return for not turning him in, he would receive a cut of the profits. Page of worldbuilding with an NPC - Owner of The Silver Flame Name: Yelera Coldstone (She/Her) Ancestry: Dwarf History: Arriving in the town of Faranvale more than fifty years ago, Yelera set up The Silver Flame as a place for everyone to wet their lips and learn more about the goings on in the town. Each patron filled with both drink and gossip. Secrets: Yelara is the persona of a silver dragon who joined the community of Faranvale to allow it to prosper. In doing so, she would be able to establish a lair underneath the settlement, to keep it safer from her other kin. Yelara has long been a fascinated with people. She has always found them to be interesting little creatures, and sometimes seduces them to see how their little minds work. Page of worldbuilding with an NPC - Maester of the Blathrone Millers Name: Krynna Malak'ra (They/She) Ancestry: Fiendling History: Krynna was born in Faranvale and for years has been an integral part of the workforce, particularly in their specialty of weaving. Despite this, they help ensure that craftspeople get paid fairly. Secrets: Krynna died three years ago during an invasion on the town. This current version of Krynna is a shapechanger who took on her form looking for an escape from the artificer that created them. As a result some strange decisions have been made by Krynna since this time. Those who were close to Krynna have found themselves suspicious, until they revealed that they had been altered by magic during the invasion.

Day 10 of #dungeonyear!

I'm still quite unwell, but I wanted to get myself up to date.

Continued working on some divine beings of a world... Who knows what this will lead to! Wanted to take the prompt in a different direction.

#worldbuilding #brainstorm
Page of worldbuilding with a symbol for the deity "Blood Sister" Prompt: "Bestower of Plenty - A jolly figure who hands out wealth as a gift. Not as a reward." Blood Sister (she/her) Portfolio: Life, Festivals, Rituals, Blood Description: Often she is shown wearing a thick cloak of a deep crimson. She wields a staff that is said to give a blessing of vitality, should Blood Sister choose to bestow it. Blood Sister's face has four eyes, almost like a snake shedding its skin. Worship: People respect and fear Blood Sister. She is both a powerful person but at the same time, clerics question her motives due to cultists being so close to her.

Day 6, 7, 8, and 9 of #dungeonyear!

I've been quite unwell the past few days so I wasn't able to post my work as well. But, I wanted to compile it all together for you all!

I wanted to try out Pamphlet of Pantheons, so I put together some deities for a world!

#worldbuilding #brainstorm
A page of worldbuilding with a divine symbol on the left for "Mind's Eye" Prompt: "Keeper of Secrets - Forgotten deity, looked down upon by traditional hierarchy." Mind's Eye (They/Them) Portfolio: Secrets, Knowledge, Prophecy Description: A collection of eyes that seem to read each person clearly. They are hidden inside a dark gray cloak that shadows their face, only showing their eyes. Worship: Unlike other deities, Mind's Eye takes on worshippers who dedicate themselves and their old lives to become a secret. Followers volunteer their name and life to become a guarded secret. In return, the followers gain the power of prophecy. A page of worldbuilding with a divine symbol on the left for "Fury Blade" Prompt: "Arrayer of Armies - Master strategist whose devotees are generals and kings." Fury Blade (He/Him) Portfolio: Strategy, Blades, Battle Description: Often depicted wearing gold armor with a full headed helmet. Wields two blades: Kurvasa (Killer) - Curved sword, designed to hook in enemies. Black steel. Otrane (Death) - Large cleaving blade designed to take down swathes of enemies. Steel with gold handle. Claimed to have a "darker" persona. Raging berserker known to thirst for blood rather than use strategy. Worship: Temples are typically dedicated fighting pits or war rooms. Generals often pray to Fury Blade before a large battle to bless their side in the conflict. Some magical blades are inscribed with the name of Fury Blade to imbue it with some divine energy. A page of worldbuilding with a divine symbol on the left for "Mother of the Moon" Prompt: "Heavenly Youth - Patron of the young. Devotees are teachers and protectors" Mother of the Moon (She/Her) Portfolio: Children, Protection, Moon Description: With six arms, she often is depicited with pale, almost white, like skin. She often is shown wearing facial paint that covers both of her eyes. Mother of the Moon often is depicted wearing flowing garments draped down her form. Worship: Many teachers and guardians worship the Mother of the Moon to help protect the children they cared for. She is said to be empowered on a full moon, with some of her chosen granted an extra protection. A page of worldbuilding with a divine symbol on the left for "Atarisa" Prompt: "Celestial Sovereign - Overthrown and bound by younger deities in a primordial age. Now a figurehead, powerless (or underestimated)" Atarisa (He/She/They) Portfolio: Creation, Imprisonment, Tyranny Description: Atarisa is often depicted as a humanoid with their form shifted to look like marble. White skin with some black lines traversing their skin. This is said to be their "ancient form". Their modern form is shown as a cage with solid gold bindings. Large runes run out from the cage itself with the word Atarisa emblazoned into it. Worship: Atarisa is not traditionally worshipped by clerics. Usually people feel connected to another power that empowers them.
