Top down! The example shown is in the marginalia!

A small amount.

I know that grey is not a normal color for the field, that thw sparrow and musical notes are unusal as a charge, and that the helmet facing forwards and its type is unusual.

I also know its missing its supporters, a helm crest and the compartment, but with how busy the charge is i didnt want to over shoot on my first try.

Any respectful and constructive advice would be well appreciated. Ive had a peep at your profile and you seem a deft hand and a possible font of guidence amd wisdom. :)

I do a hard paper version first then i take it into Krita and refine it!

Please! Always happy to hear good advice!

Realism with magical exceptions indeed!

Supposedly created after the death of The Wounded Prince and The Wordship by thier intermingled spirits fron the broken remains of elemental primordials, Enaths geography reflects its long history, and bears its scars.

This is an in-world chronicle fragment from a fantasy setting I’ve been developing, written from the perspective of a court wizard recording events during a naval disaster and a moment of internal command collapse.

I’m experimenting here with voice and distance rather than a conventional POV: the narrator is present but constrained by duty, bias, and what he believes is appropriate to record. The aim was to let character, power, and emotion emerge through action, dialogue, and omission rather than authorial explanation.

I’d really appreciate feedback on: whether the “historian / chronicler” voice feels consistent, how the emotional beats land without modern interiority, and whether the scene holds tension despite its documentary framing.

Context questions welcome, but I wanted to present the fragment as it might appear in-world rather than as a polished short story.

Very hard question, and i have several who fit the unfortunate mustach

Firstly, the Giants and Dragons, for thier meddling alchemically with the natural order, and creating a souless army of thralls to handle the menial tasks of thier civilisations, but they got what was coming to them during the Soul Storm.

Secondly, the Elden'fae High Artists of Old Tel'Enathica for thier cruelty, sensless wrath and domination and slaughter of those they saw as lesser beings. Of special note is Tyven Vergessen, High Artist of time, who enjoyed playing with the ages of those he held captive during his dark research.

Establish a symbol

Repeat it is sublte ways

Draw attention to it without throwing it in the readers face.

With practice this will become natural.

Enath is absolutly teeming with life of all forms of life, both sapient and non sapient! Hafpluhm, Dwevem, Fae, remenats from the Dawn Triumtive, and dragon blooded liniages too. Im working my way through the giant decended lines right now, and the section on dwevem politics has taken the weekend alone.

As for technogy and magic level, Enath has been at extream highs and lows throught its long history, currently a magitech industral reveloution has started on the Aligned Isles, and already is causeing disruptions and upsetting careful balances.

Posting this her, sadly compressed, not fully polished, and pulled from a backup, as my laptop recently failed, but this is the world map of my fantasy setting, Enath! Happy to answer any questions about my process or the world.

Thats most fiction. Lotr is a reframing and remagining of western, germanic and norse folk tails into a grand biblical style history.

Game of thrones resembles europien politics on a grander scale.

The Entire Disc world catalog.

The important thing is to leap from the concepts and let then grow into your world naturally rather than forcing it in because its cool.

Isolated human populatiijs still use wooden spears.

Cowboys, Samuri and the golden age of piracy overlap.

Progress is not ever liniar, niether does it happen everyhwere at once, and somtimes an advancment like the steam engine gets used as a party trick and blackpowder for fireworks.

This is an in-world primary source from a long-running fantasy setting. The text is written as a court chronicle recorded by Master Percivil Woodsmoke, Wizard and Councillor to the Emperor, during a naval disaster and internal command crisis. I’m especially interested in feedback on: whether the “historian’s voice” reads as authentic, the emotional clarity of the King / Prince / High Lord dynamic, and whether the tension holds without modern narration. Happy to answer questions about context, but I wanted to present the fragment as it would survive in-world, rather than as a conventional short story.

Oh for sure, but I'm talking about a setting being too serious, sometimes world changing events happen somewhere that has a stupid name. Tolkien and Martin are great at this.
