Fantasy World Creation Thread

Fantasy World Creation Thread

[Better first post coming soon]

Welcome to the Fantasy World Creation Thread where those who wish to participate can work together to build a fantasy world, and if it gets developed enough, there may be a chance for roleplays taking place in this world. The creation of this world is only limited by everyone’s creativity. Almost anything fantasy can go here, such as dragons, orcs, dwarves, gnomes, or anything really, but first, we need a name for this world.

Rules:

1. Follow the forum guidelines.

2. I have the right to say that if something does not fit or work, I can deny its entry to the world. This rule is in place to stop things like “in the year [insert year here] the goblins found a strange object on the ground that seemed to fall from the sky. A goblin picked it up and found a strange button which made strange, deadly lights come out of it.” This I would stop because it is implying that a laser gun has fallen from the sky, dropped by a passing by alien, and the goblins have found it. This is way ahead of the current technology of the world, so I’ll have to say no to things like this.

3. If you don’t like someone’s idea, give them constructive criticism, and if the idea doesn't fit, just let them know so they insert an idea that is more appropriate.

4. When the time for roleplays comes, you must get permission from me first if you want to make a RP that takes place in this world and you must PM me the basic story.

5. While I make be the one who made this thread, it doesn't make me more important than everyone else. I only have the power that is stated in rule #2 and 6.

6. I have the right to add more rules if needed.

Things to know:

1. There is no need to only have aspects from other fantasy worlds. While we may have elves and such, we may create our own species.

2. You don’t have to become a member or anything like that. You can contribute to this once, twice, or as much as you like.

Interesting idea. I'm willing to participate, been wanting to do something with a unique fantasy world, or at least help create one.

I only really ever read fantasy books, except for a few science fiction books, so I came up with the idea to create a fantasy world that could be used for RPs, and then it evolved into a group project.

Before we start populating the world with creatures, we need a name for the world. A small problem I have is that I'm bad with names, and if I do come up with one, I will later realize it sounds very similar to name I recently heard of.

I'm also willing to participate. Seems like a good idea.

First we need to decide on how we're going to come up with the name. Is it going to be a made up word or will we use words from other languages? (Ex: Latin, Japanese, etc)

I vote for it being something made up. I'll list some fantasy place names for inspiration.

Alagaësia

Farthern Dur

Araluen

Rivendell

Oh, and I've been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls recently, so here's some of my favorites from that:

Cyrodiil

Morrowind

Elesweyr

Vvardenfell

Ustengrav

Alright, I'll guess that means random syllables time!

Alshengar

Bith'unos

Jorgeshtal

There would be those accentuation things in there but for the life of me I can never figure out how.

Talátresa
Remdolon
Fälgolon
Qarakenn
Lurutha
Iegenus
Wharagath

I don't really want to suggest anymore because we have a lot already, so it seems.

Would you want to make a poll with strawpoll or something and vote on 2 or 3 each and see what gets the most votes?

Sorry for not posting, I had much more homework this week than usual.

Anyways, StrawPoll is a good idea. My personal favorites from everyone is:

Random:

Alshengar

Darkel:

Talátresa

Vipera:

Glysreim

---------------------------------

Those could be the ones on the poll, though I would like to hear other opinions.

I got Some:

Lor'vann

Hydgarl

Terr'ill

Mergaven

Ou'raton

Oh those are nice ones.
