For now this will basically just be a place to gather scribblings and stuff about a fantasy setting that's been in my head for a little while. First: this one is really more "shut up it's fantasy" about stuff than my previous Fantasy Verse, at least so far. I'll still employ Magic A is Magic A, but magic will just be a thing that's there without a detailed explanation. Though our laws of physics (or close enough) will apply in general but magic will be a special force that can play with it temporarily. So main difference essentially, previous Fantasy Verse=magic is a part of physics and mages are limited energy manipulators, and this one=magic is supernatural, separate from regular physics and mages are limited reality warpers. Next I'll list some of the things I have so far by category.
Species/Races: Elf-kin, human-kin and orc-kin. Elf-Kin only has 2 races, Light Elves and Dark Elves (common tongue terms, they will have fancier elven terms for themselves and all). Both have kingdoms ruled by a queen, not because of matriarchy, it just happens to be that way. The Light Elves have had several rulers varying in gender, while the Dark Elves have had the same ruler since the founding of their realm. Human-kin is just humans atm, it might grow to include dwarves or gnomes and the like. Also there are kinds of humans who are apparently independent races despite seeming human, which I haven't decided yet how they're linked. For exemple the barbarians. Orc-kin is all assorted greenskins: orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, trolls, etc.
The big separation between the 3 is that, human-kin minds are a mix of instinct and sentience, they consciously reason out and think some stuff and other stuff just gets done subconsciously, like irl humans. Orc-kin are pure (or vast majority) instinct, so they don't have art or other impractical cultural practices. And they also don't have morals. Orcs rape because they feel horny and instinctually fuck something, they don't consciously decide to do it, cause they don't consciously decide anything. This makes them efficient and unfettered to the extreme. Elf-kin are pure (or vast majority) sentience, every single thing they do or think, down to the details, is a conscious decision. This means they have no natural talent, an elven swordmaster consciously calculates angles, trajectories, momentum, balance, etc constantly. But their art is literally superhuman because of it too.
Aside the "people/humanoid" ones, there's also "dinosaurs", as in weird reptile things of wildly different shapes and sizes. Giant monsters, dragons (which include wyverns, etc).
Places:
Dark Lands-> where dark elves live
Realm of Light-> where light elves live
Iron Peaks-> probably where barbarians will live
Blood Plains-> where blood elves/vampires/stuff will live, maybe
Golden Sea-> is mostly a poetic name for "huge ass desert", but also in part because creatures live in it aquatic-like
Field of Waves-> a group of tropical islands surrounded by deep ocean
Ice Flats-> a vast frozen land, where pretty much nothing lives
Stone Tundra-> a toxic and volcanic place where things get covered in mineral ash and often stuck like living statues
Characters:
Koa-> comes from the Field of Waves, chocolate skin, pale blond/sand colored hair and yellow/golden eyes. Fairly toned, even muscular, very tall. Is a very good swimmer, knows herbs and powders, formidable warrior but only experienced against large creatures, thus not a proficient weapon wielder by common standards. However being able to go up against giant monsters, she is ungodly resilient and freakishly strong compared to most inhabitants of the world. Pretty outgoing and boastful when talking to/at animals but more shy around people.
Baleria-> the dark elf queen, ruler of the Dark Lands and founder of their realm. Pale skin and dark haired. Slender and flawlessly proportioned, some speculate as a result of body-altering magic, though it could just as well be natural, being elven royalty and all. Unfathomably powerful sorceress and supremely intelligent, she has fooled, trapped and outgambitted many would be heroes over her lifetime
=======================================================================================
Galactic+ Empire
Called Anunnaki (or Anun for short) by most inhabitants of the Adventure Land (trans. "those who from heaven came to earth"), who essentially believe them to be either gods or different kinds of similar celestials beings. The commonly revered ones (due to being the most common visitors) are an elite imperial corps all codenamed after mythical weapons.
