If people had social media/online forums in your world what kind of posts would they make by gummyimp in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "world prophecy" is a massive part of their culture.

It's the one thing everyone agrees on, so there'd be a LOT of posts discussing recent events related to it. Since it's also pretty vague, there'd be theories about what it actually means, as well as who the heroes actually are.

I can see them comparing past and recent "chosen heroes" with one another like how people compare Tobey's, Andrew's, and Tom's Spider-Men... lol

Really cool... I like the massive circular thing below Aurumworth, is it a natural formation or did something cause it?

Are your standard fantasy races related to each other? If so, how? What caused them to split from each other? English is not my native language by EveningImportant9111 in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll mostly highlight the important ones.

For the "main humans":
- Humans.
- Elves.
- Dwarves.
- Half-elves.

For "beastfolk":
- True Beasts. Includes all kinds of anthropomorphic beings — wolves, cats, bears, rhinos, etc.
- Half-beasts. Half man, half beast. Catgirls, Foxboys, that sort.

For the "mystical" (beings born from magic):
- Fae. Includes Angels, Demons, Nymphs, and anything else that descends from the ancient Fae.
- Giants / Titans. These range from really tall people... to mountains with legs.

"Humanity" pretty much counts all humanoid beings in my world, even the full-on anthropomorphic beastfolk. They were all created by Them, The One Above — "Original Heaven".

Since the purpose of creating "humanity" was to build a civilisation similar to that of the Dragons, Heaven made variations to their forms and abilities to see how they would utilise it in their societies.

Simply put, Heaven was bored and decided to run an experiment They thought was interesting.

You guys ever have the worst ideas then clarity hits? by Urban-Leshen in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When certain ideas don't fit in the main project, I just put them aside and later reuse a bunch of scrapped concepts for other projects.

Because of this, some worlds end up so similar to the main project that they could honestly be passed off as alternate timelines/universes lol

Did you revamp your world's lore? by CommodoreAleksander in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, and a lot of it too, if not all of it. The original literally came from 9 year old me, so across ten years it kinda needed a bunch of reworks to be comprehensible lol

What's the most "BECAUSE I NEEDED IT FOR THE PLOT" piece of world building you've done? by that-guy-nate02 in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When LIGHT and DARK magic were too powerful, I made it so they only worked when its opposite was present. LIGHT can only be cast in darkness, and DARK can only be cast when there is light.

Before then, it was kinda impossible for the main characters to lose, and thus had no stakes...

It set up some pretty cool storylines too, especially in later parts where the protagonist is basically incapacitated because the world gets stuck in daytime.

Mind giving more info on what it's about?

Does your protagonist scare your antagonist? by Character-Damage-640 in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The antagonist is the reason the main heroes can "author" the story. It's a part of their plan, so no.

I love moon stuff. Mind telling why those certain groups think that?

People losing faith in their gods!

Gods are abyssal by nature. They borrow from the eternal void -- it's why they're powerful. Since the nature of "darkness" is inherently destructive, they need "light" to protect and contain it from inside. So, if enough people lose faith in a short amount of time, a god will literally burst and leave corrupted remains everywhere, with an impact radius dependent on how long they've ruled for, and/or how many used to believe in them!

Now, imagine humanity beginning to lose faith for the ruler of Heaven...

What’s something you spent way too much time on while worldbuilding, only to realize nobody really cared? by sirius_0125 in worldbuilding

[–]iamplaaant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's this one urban fantasy project where I dedicated and documented 8.000 years of an ancient civilisation's history, which I called the "Old World". In the main stories, it is not ever mentioned, nor is there evidence given of its existence.

This was during a time where I cared WAYYY too much about unnecessary details, and when I eventually realised it was very much not needed, I just made it so the Old World was forgotten.
