It’s September and I finished a draft of Rise of Villainy book 2, so, here is an update all of my #WIPs to reflect where things stand for things I #amwriting and #amrevising! (This is a slight improvement in my updating timeline) #WritingCommunity 🧵(1/?)

The Southern region of Atalantis is divided into two subregions, the peninsula & the desert.
The Kaadurat Desert (of the hot variety) lies inside a wall of mountains. The dried up Kaadur River & the ruins of some ancient cities imply it was more fertile at some point.🧵1/2

Tell us about who can wield magic in your world!
Is it available to everyone, or only a special few? Is it a gift you're born with, or a skill you can learn? Is the knowledge gatekept in some way?
Don't forget to read & interact with others! 😁

#FebruaryWorldbuilders, we're talking about the physical worlds of our fantasy/sci-fi stories. Do you have any deserts? Either of the extremely hot or extremely cold variety? What's it like? Do your characters ever go there (hope they came prepared!)

The Imperial Capital of Grace is vertically built up the cliffside of a sandstone mountain. More than half the city is underground in six caverns districts and the catacombs/waterworks.
Caves offer natural temperature control. The wealthy live in arid, shrubby grasslands highest up the mountain.

Vocab time! Tell us about some important terms we need to know to understand your magic system. Obviously, make sure you include the definitions! 😁
As usual, interpret the prompt however makes sense to you! Don't feel limited only to conlang words.

What is the central concept of your magic system? E.g. Elemental magic? Music magic? Name-based magic? Something else? (Note: this isn't the "source" of magic - that's Day 8!)

#FebruaryWorldbuilders. What is the scope or size of your world, or the 'space' of the story you're writing? Does it take place on a planet? Across a galaxy? Perhaps you're only writing about one small country or even a city. Or perhaps you have many planets/worlds?

Do you have a "hard" or "soft" magic system?
In other words, does your magic system have strictly defined rules (think: Brandon Sanderson's books)? Or is it more undefined, mostly vibes/rule of cool (think: Gandalf from LOTR)? Somewhere in between?

My world is called the Pentagonal Dominion. It got its name not from a true physical alignment, but conceptualization of how the six planes connect. The people imagine it as 5 planes in a pentagon and 1 in the center. The planes don't *actually* exist in the same space.
