31: Currently? Universe names. I've also been working more on my world's pantheon. But a decent chunk of time has been trying to find the name that feels ✨right✨ for my fantasy world. It's been harder than I thought lol. 😅

30: I don't have enough of a text limit to list them all lol. 😅

But the biggest would be Elder Scrolls, folklore/myths/legends, Frieren, Shadowhunters, plenty of fae & other fantasy/paranormal media of all kinds. 🥰🐉

29: Mostly ambiance audios out that sound like you're in a fairy forest or on a fantasy quest, etc. with some classical "fantasy-like" music. Some video game OST's will spark the worldbuilding vibe for me, as well. 😌

28: Dryads live in the forest. More specifically, the root systems that connect the forest with the massive tree in the heart of the forest.

Along with a lone few people, and adventurers will camp in it, ofc.

Day 31... What am I researching.

Well, I tried to look up a beetle, the insect, fact earlier and got blasted with car facts 😆 (it was about travel)

Talitha Harbor has a twin planet. My goal for August is to come up with some science. It won't be my first attempt. 😅

28: People Living in the Forest

In the Great Cities, no. But, there's a group called The Pure Dawn Collective, which lives on an island, and sort of does. They're near the coast where there's a natural clearing. They live without tech and rely on the island for most things.

27: Resources

They get a LOT from the native plants and animals, but very carefully. It's a anti-consumerist society to further push their strong environmental values. They rely on synthetic as little as possible. See below for a short list:

27: Depends on the season, etc. But resources from Snowcrest Weald would be mostly wood, herbs, fungi & fruits naturally harvested from it. And a special, magical type of revitalizing berry that's rarely given out by the Dryads.

26: In my WIP, with the current situation in the mortal realm (brewing war/dangerous weather) & spirit realm (corrupting magic overtaking/spilling out), Jari doesn't hear any myths of Snowcrest Weald, nor see any of its entities.

25: Typical alpine fauna & flora are found in Snowcrest Weald for the most part. There are some magical creatures also found within its depths, but they tend to be more elusive.

24: Snowcrest Weald is fairly typical for a northern, alpine forest. Other than the magical trees that can extend their roots & the massive tree at its heart that the Dryads call home, & other magical things like that lol. 😜✨

20: Quite a few. For example, in my WIP, Jari joins in on a festival called "Alignment Day" (also called "Rivil Alignment") where all the celestial planets align. Rivil was the name of the Fae who first noticed it.

Didn't do as many prompts this time. However, these and #JulyWorldbuilders spawned two new fucking projects, as this universe inside me expands.

I'm afraid of dying because I only have one novel out, so a universe will die with me.

Currently? Nothing. Been on a break, wrapping up the first draft and just in a laid back vacation mode.

Once I get started again? The next thing is probably on military supply trains, frontier travel and mass transportation of food before widespread refrigeration.
