BUILD YOUR OWN WORLD Like what you see? Become the Master of your own Universe!

Summer Camp '24 Recommended List

Here are ten articles that I feel are either important to my world, were fun to write, or both.   Primarily, my story takes place in a country called Polira, which is still recovering from a magical cataclysm called the Shattering, and has great antipathy for magic casters of any type. Most of the articles are written from an official Poliran point of view, all adhering to the mythos and teachings of the kingdom. You'll see this especially in "Creation of Azarth" and "Maulogne Codex", which are two versions of the same myth.
