#FebruaryWorldbuilders I have not included any prophecies, although fortune telling exists. It is more vague glimpses of possible (minor) near future events than actual prophecy. Some forms of magic may involve things that are psychic adjacent. For example

#FebruaryWorldbuilders, good morning! Are prophecies or psychic abilities real in your world? How do they affect the world? Tomorrow I will ask about free will, so if you have prophecies, think about how that influences whether free will exists or not, and have an answer tomorrow😁

I like this snippet from Elias' first POV chapter in The Witch of Eden Hollow. It perfectly summarizes his daily tasks right before his inciting incident throws a wrench into his routine.

I'm happy to say the video is mostly done! I should be finished by this weekend which leaves plenty of time before it premieres!

So, beyond just balancing the audio I want to work on my sixth story for Raven & Bear. I'll even leave a snippet of it below!

Replies Welcome!

Monday’s suck. So, I thought I’d try a Monday prompt game. What WIPs or ideas do you not talk about as much? Or random ideas you’ve had that have added to you WIP pile lately? What are you excited to work on?

No rules. Just blab! 😁

People can technically access the Stream in their dreams, and when unconscious, but they don't really experience it. Just the inside of their little bubble of consciousness.

By the same token, those who can enter the minds of others are technically in the Stream, 🧵
#FebruaryWorldbuilders If you have nonphysical realms in your setting, how can they be accessed? Can characters go there or somehow 'see' inside it? Does something else live there and come out when summoned?

I did a little HEMA when I was younger and people might notice that Sir Corbyn actually references the four virtues taught by Fiore dei Liberi. My own experience and training informs a lot of the choreography for my fight scenes.

Questions Welcome!

The Gods Above share Heavens where their loyal adherents and those worthy join them in service or celebration for eternity after death.

The Gods Beneath have Hells where those who serve their ends well may be exalted in death. And those who fail the tests of the Gods Above suffer to expiation.
Hey there, #FebruaryWorldbuilders. We're getting weird this week and talking about metaphysical aspects of our worlds. Do you have any nonphysical realms? Dream worlds, mind worlds, spiritual realms, a space of pure mathematics, etc. What are they in your setting?

Every person is born with an inner world called a myslemir. It exists within the soul and holds the person's mind. A person's myslemir changes as they grow and reflects that person in some way. It can look like anything: the indoors, the outdoors, a weird dreamscape, empty

A Tawny Owl roosting only a few minutes from our doorstep. Lovely to see, had it to ourselves and left it alone after just a couple of minutes with the camera at a respectable distance.

From my 19th century gay romance WIP set in England. Yearning is all you can do when your lover became your father-in-law and you live under the same roof. (cw is exactly that, age gap and "scandalous" stuff 😌)

As a servant of the Gray Lady, Spencer interacts with the Veil frequently. The Veil is like a waiting room for the dead, where they go before they move on to the afterlife of their choice. It lays under the living 🧵

These excerpts come from The Knightbane's Prize, Caer y Môn and Of Dina & Dan. All of which feature a little bit of yearning between Ata's adoptive mother Queen Ifon and her surrogate father / teacher Sir Corbyn. It's a real slowburn.

Tell me what y'all think!

Welsh Mythology treats the "otherworld" or annwn pretty strangely compared to other Mythologies. It's not really a separate realm, just a distant or unfamiliar kingdom. I don't think I'll feature it in my stories, Raven & Bear is non-magical.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders First and foremost, Eldana is bordered on three sides by two oceans: the Fennyk Sea to the north/east and the Lapis Ocean to the west. The Fennyk Sea is more economically important because the western coast is blocked by the Yzaran Mountains, so . . . (1/?)
