    Abbagon - A world of Holy Wars, magical bloodlines, and ancient feuds

    Thank you for the questions. Here are my answers: It’s mysterious as to where Varcadis came from. About a decade before his death, he was first seen preaching in the South of Halland, near the Lapaccian border. Varcadis was not at first called savior, but still drew crowds in the hundreds and...

    Abbagon - A world of Holy Wars, magical bloodlines, and ancient feuds

    Main culture/civilization in my novel... feedback welcome

    I like the concept of this world, especially the classical inspiration for aesthetics and culture, as well as what seems to me like the historical influence of the ancient mediterranean world. It doesn't really seem particularly medieval to me, though, so I'm confused as to why you used that...

    Welcome to Yvoria, a world of dragons, moons, and magical gems.

    I really like the concept you've got working here. These types of epic, cosmic SFF settings are hard to pull off, but it seems that you've got a fine start. In particular, something that draws me in is the moons and their falling, and the upheaval that comes after them. Epic stories like this...
