Worlds of Eltoneyes Please do not read if your not interested in Fantasy Stories For the last few years. I've started to read large fantasy books, Lord of the Rings for example. I've always wanted to make my own fantasy world. I have in secret from my parents and closest friends been writing in my notebook. And started Drawing Large maps. I have in fact made a 36 Standard Print Paper Map to put on under my Parents king size bed. It barely fits. They don't notice. I have just recently created a Wiki for the sole purpose of putting together my World. I already have basics down. But I want some help from a few people that share my own passion. Things that are important in this project are - Cartography (Map Making)
- Basic Knowlege of Politics and General Knowlege of Weopons of Old
- Imagination
The way I treat this Is similiar to an RPG MMO or an MMORPG. Even though its not a game at all I imagine it as a game. I have already an Idea on its Landscape, history. Ext. This is basically a Middle Aged Land with swords but it also has Magical Roots and Fictional Aspects. It has Alchemy, Glyphs, spells, It has Swords Axes and Bows, It has completely made up aspects, such as Over mail. It has Its own species of Human Like Races, Animals, Plants, Insects, Grass. The Elements have been renamed. Its an entire new world. I am just asking for help on the Wiki. Its a personal Wiki so I'm only going to send the link to a few trust worthy people. I also need GIMP Artists. For Concept Art. |

Anyway, why is it all centered?

Hey, i would love to help. I am experienced, as i did all this then me and my friends all got together and started making a MMORPG. Unfortunately, it went quite well for 2 or so years, then we had to sell off. Anyway, i'd love to help. Mainly with the wiki, as i'm HOPELESS at art.

God Cool, But can Anyone list any names first, I need to know your dedication to the project. Plus out of all the things that I have tried. The hardest thing is coming up with the name, Aidiun , Aediun, Vajliar, Aiur, Amun, Gea, Maljar, I've gone thru so many, It should be fluent, As the roots are Elvish and Manish.

Here's how I do it...
name (pronunciation)
Suon (s-oh-n)
Hjriel (h-ee-l the h is pronounced with the tongue slightly pressed against the roof of the mouth)
Gnaesh (n-ah-ee-sh the n starts with the tongue in position, as if it were to pronounce a G, it then quickly rolls forward into the N position)
Combine simple names
Gnaeshoun (n-ah-ee-sh-oh-n)
like that...
Want more?

Oh, well, i would seriously need to know more about this world before naming it. It's like how writers write their story before thinking of a title. (Some authors)

Thats like me too, I have already written a lot. Its mainly explored. Excluding few key areas. It has vast realms. The underground dwarf realms the Onyx City of Debourn and Armensul's Heavens. But the history has been what I 've focused on for a long time now. Its huge and vast. And has lots of unique types of landscape. Such as the inverted (not realy) Falls of Adun, Located around Royal Bay at several spots. I know it sounds like I'm talking Giberish. Right now I'm working on a map. So wait a while.

If your going to do this, and your going to pull people into it, then you have to check this thread AT LEAST every day. Also, if you could attach some writings, that would be nice. I hope they're saved on your computer, if not you can scan them or type them out.

I haven't typed anything on the Wiki Yet since I just created it. But as for an example of the lore. I can type some from my head MC.
Glyphs are Inked Basings and Tatoos on Ones Skin or Robes. Glyphs Glow thru surfaces constantly. And when used. They break down slowly. There are 4 main designs for Glyphs and Alchemetic Research used by the Harrowings (Largest Magical Guild in the Known World), the Pentagram is the widest used. It is very stable and provoids very high skill and bonuses in Conjuration. The Hexagram is the next used, Using all 6 Vertices as an Energy Base. Its good for summoning Trap Barriers. And Is the only Main Design capable of a Camoflauge when in Combat. And it lasts even out of combat for several months.
The Tri Gram is next. It is used for Alterations in the Lands Topography. Its the only Glyph that is limited on its magic and can only be used for Destruction and Alteration Magic.
The Preagram is used by high ranking wizards in the Harrowings. It uses 3 base circles and a realm note to focus energy at the edge. Creating Uneven Expansions Compulsions, and Pulses of Magical Energy that if used by advanced mages. Can be turned into a huge aura of energy. Increases a max imput by about 700%.

Well, we're going to need a lot more than that. I feel as if I stepped in your world for a few seconds and then was removed. There was no context. We basically need every single thing you have ever written. Scan stuff if need be.
