The Wondrous Time of Worldember
As the year comes to a close and the many months turn into the few, I eagerly awaited the coming of Worldember. A challenge to better my writing skills, to flush out more of my world, and to complete a challenge. Like a victorian child steaming up the windows of a candy store in winter, I have looked through the windows at Worldember wishing to join. Never truly giving the time or effort required for such a task. Now, at the start of the month, I will dedicate my efforts to participating and seeing this event through to the end. I would often particpate somwaht in events doing articles here and there. This time I truly wish to complete one through to the end. I have much work to do, especially when I want to create my own world for tabletop games. I have countless ideas for things I want to create, show, and implement. This will be my oath to push through and see it to the end.
What I seek to accomplish
As I take my first steps into Worldember, I have a few things I wish to accomplish. One of which is to complete the timeline of the great event that occured before the current date of the world. The Ruination was a cosmic conflict that shook the fabric of the world. However, it is still in the memory and minds of many people, only being around 240 years in the past. Many longlived species still have their scars from the conflict. I wish to expand on the characters involved, and who truly started the Ruination as a whole. I also have a campaign I hope to be starting here coming up with a few of my friends. When I started creating this world, I started the more difficult way. I started with a massive canvas, a continent, and began painting in the little pieces around said continent. Since then, my ideas and dream of the world has only grown in size. One continent became two, became three. There was a great event to usher the world into the new age. When I started dividing the characters and gods between the sides I added more and more in my head and on paper, but never where anyone could actually see it.
I have a campaign currently going on in this world, I have another coming soon. My main goal is to create a believable, immersive, and entertaining setting for my friends to partake in as they try to beat back villain and monster alike.
The current game is going on in a region known the Oracesis, split between different states. It has primarily been set in a land known as
The Dukata of Syracae, but it started in a place known as
Dreamer's Haven which is the town founded by their previous characters. The promise of going further beyond the borders of Syracae and Dreamer's Haven still looms.
The other campaign is going to be starting some time here soon. I have prolonged it too far. The players will be starting in a place I have not written so much about. The Royal Union of Hallen-Coredesh.
So if I were to construct a list of the things i wish to accomplish, I would list it as such.
- Create articles for each of my most important divine beings on world anvil.
- Flush out the lands of Syracae and beyond. Write about locations, factions, and characters.
- Complete the timeline of the Ruination.
- Create a setting for which the new campaign can be played.
I wish you the best of luck for your goal - you have some real cool projects there and I'm looking forward to read about those.
