Worldbuilding in Qarzeth

[Kaez]

So, Injin said he was proud of me, and that made me want to share more of my worldbuilding with you guys. So I've re-awoken my ancient "Project: Fantasy" board and I'm going to be sharing my worldbuilding here on a fairly regular basis. I've done so much of it, and I've been waiting forever to share it with the world in the perfect way... but, honestly, the benefits of sharing it and talking about it now by far outweigh the benefits of waiting and sharing it all at once. I want feedback and discussion. It makes worldbuilding more fun and it helps me know what to focus on, what's interesting to people. It inspires me to write things and to write them in such a way that they're polished and worthy of being shared.

So! I'm going to try to make a post in this board every few days, sharing snippets of my setting. What I'd really like is feedback on it. Not critiques, per se, though I'm not opposed to them, but more like guidance as to where to go next. If I post something and you want to know more about it, or more about something related to it, or you want to know about something entirely unrelated - that's what I'm looking for. If I post about a country and you want to know more about its history or its nobility or an aspect of its culture, say so. Or if you want to know, say, about the tallest mountains, or the oldest people, or the most famous knights, or whatever it may be, let me know. These things get me writing in directions I otherwise wouldn't, spark creativity, and move the setting in cool directions.

Feel free to use this thread for general suggestions, feedback, input, or questions, or to respond directly to the threads I'll be creating in the future. Whatever works.

I'm going to use this thread for less serious comments.

Having read the Realms of Mind update, the Dwarves are basically the British Empire and no one knows because they're too busy drinking beer and making necklaces, while secretly colonising every realm in the universe. They just dig a hole through worlds and ask the natives if they have a flag.


Edit:

Oh, also. Having some maps here would help. I can't remember if you're still working on them, though.

Political Map of Western Amostine

Unfinished Ecological Map of Amostine

The Tor World Map

On that last map: 'Western Kingdoms' is the title I'm using for content referring to Western Amostine, as labeled. 'Scars of Amostine' is the title I'm using for Eastern Amostine content. 'Scalding Wilds' applies to the as-of-yet unnamed continent to the south of Amostine, while 'Beyond the Mists' applies to the pair of continents to the far east. 'Realms of Mind' is for everything and anything else.
