(5/5) Then, Anen spoke, and His voice was as the soft whisper of dawn after endless night. None save He can recount the words that were spoken for there were none yet who could hearken to them, but they carried within them the might to call forth and to shape all things according to His will.

(4/5) Anet Lisja it was called, The First Light, and from it came forth Anen, who stood resolute in the turbulence of the sundering Ådleg.

(3/5) There was at once a great ripple, like as a stone dropped into unmoving waters, and the stillness was destroyed. From the midst of the ripple there came a kindled light, pale and flickering as a newborn star, yet ever it grew larger and brighter.

(2/5) Before aught else, there was Ådleg, the Void, which was vast beyond all measure. No light shone in its darkness, nor sound disturbed its silence, for it was empty. Such was the depth of that darkness that none other should match its likeness until the end of days and the unmaking of the world.

I'm pretty confident that I can get it to a place where it's ready to be posted, but I'd like it to be looked over before I'm ready to call it good enough for my book.

That's kind of you! I certainly wouldn't turn down such an offer.

Hell yeah. I was drawing really young and got really into Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings at right around age 10, too.

#Agrayla has changed a lot over the years. My vision for it has gotten clearer. My #worldbuilding skills have gotten better. And now, I'm ready to pour into it all of the love, care, and attention that it deserves and I can't wait to share it with you all!

I found #CriticalRole. I found #Dimension20. I soaked up everything I could from @matthewmercer.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social.

After that, the seed of #Agrayla (my own world) was planted, and it's grown into the home of a #dnd campaign that I've been running for almost two years.

I jumped right into the deep end and took up the mantle of #dungeonmaster. I have many memories of how bad my first few games were and how feeble my #worldbuilding attempts felt. But, as we all should with the things that stoke the inner flames of our passions, I persevered.

The movies kickstarted my #LordoftheRings obsession, but it wasn't until I read the books that I really learned what #worldbuilding could be.

Then, around college, I was introduced to #ASongofIceandFire, the #GameofThrones books by George R.R. Martin.

Then came #DungeonsandDragons.
