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.

#WordWeavers: Do you purposely use symbolism in your stories?

I do, when possible, but only what I consider symbolism. One tiny example is that on my timeline I have bad events that are on dates with "evil" numbers. I love such small details that are done on purpose.

“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!!

5K words written today, and still going, for all major historical events leading to the start of my story. Having a clear chronological timeline helps be justify so many ideas and situations in my world's current state. Knowing where I'm coming from helps me decide where I'm going.
