Mark0 Altera Worldember 2025 Pledge

Hello fellow Anvilites!

While this certainly isn't my first Worldember, it's certainly going to be a special one for me. In previous events, I've focused on adding new items to my existing setting of Taeva, however, this year my efforts will be directed towards building out my new setting of Altera from the ground up. Since I'm effectively starting from scratch with this setting, the scope of my worldbuilding will admittedly be pretty wide, though it does mean I'll have a lot more room to work with!

This was a pretty fun bit of prep work to work on. While things will be pretty busy for me in the coming month between work and Christmas, I'll still be able to make time to work on my Worldember submissions, and I've already prepared a list of articles I want to work on. I've also curated many visual references on Pintrest to help me visualise what I'm trying to go for, and I've got a pretty extensive playlist to help get me in the right headspace while I write (might try to link some of them in my articles). I've recently completed setting up the world primer of my setting, going over the world, its people, and some interesting elements that I wanted to point out to newcomers. While it's getting pretty cold where I am, I still plan to exercise and get out often to help get the creative juices flowing. To close out this article, I'd like to share a list of the adjectives I think best describe my world:

• Fractured
• Fantastical
• Strange
• Dangerous
• Mysterious
