Last night I finished the language rules & root words/combos for my Aerylian ancient language in #theRiveHunter world, being the primeval kind. For example: Enerthya, the name of the continent, comes from the Aeryl name 'En'Arthyl', meaning Our World.

Now working on some studies of #glyphs and #magic #symbols.

“It's been three centuries since we saw the last Riveners, but their return is nigh. A powerful kind, bound to the Rive, able to wield the dark power with their own hands. Able to burn everything in their path, and summon demons at their will." — initial concept sketch of the Riveners #theRiveHunter

“Grievous times we live in. People have been praying for better days ever since the end of the Crusades. Our new era was even named as the Age of Light. Oh, the irony. As long as the Rive exists, with its dark power looming all over us, such days will never come.”

— Elmrid, the Alchemist of Llyr

So I've planned eight stories and three novellas before the start of my #theRiveHunter series. Outlines, timelines, characters, lore, all in place leading to the start of an epic plot. Too ambitious?! Sure, but why not!:) Being passionate about something means I'm going all in!!

Made some great progress with my world’s development and now working on a few short stories (10-30k) that follow my MC within my setting. Found this the perfect way to develop my worldbuilding, characters and concepts better before jumping back into my main novel.

If anyone has done this before and has some tips to share, would be really helpful.

Stay tuned for updates!

"Elliryn neighed in destress as soon as they reached at the bottom of the hill. The mare could always sense danger nearby. Kallan knew it. It was not fear, neither hesitation. It was her warning him."

“The flying insects emerged ghostlike from their nocturnal sleep with every evenfall, illuminating the streets with their blue glowing bodies. Nightfly lanterns swung from iron chains above doors and windows. Hollow objects that carried small pots of stargrass, enough to attract the buzzing insects into a spinning pattern, like a blue, glowing sphere."

─ The Nightflies
