A New World?

I am suddenly entranced by a new surge of ideas that are beginning to take control of my mind, letting me created something new, something beautiful. For once, the first time since I wrote my novel. I feel like creating again. Why? Because the creation is beckoning me to. I've come to a sort of decision. This decision is to pursue my next NaNoWriMo endeavor as an extension of my last. Only to remain something completely new. I am creating a whole new world.

I've decided that, as part of my planning, I will draw out concept maps and diagrams of all places, characters, creatures, races, etc. as well as create the languages that have and will appear in my "saga." I had a very vague idea of what my world looked looked like when I wrote the first piece about it last year, but now it's going on paper so I have a visual representation of what it actually looks like.



Here's a rough map I drew up that illustrates Nutrii Leil (The Land of Fruitfullness) which is the central crossing location in the primary continent of the world of Aridrian. This is also complemented by the Eremithra (Immortal) to the North and arrows pointing to farther lands beyond (Poiss and Crystne Blish). The central emphasized portion in this part of the world is the Magek Realm (Fields of Magic) which is a sort of cleansed region from the crossing of Akaii (Sea) by the Eremithra inhabitants. It also shows an arrow pointing West to Mithrevia Liel (Land of Mortal Humans), which is part of where my last Novel ended (it was based primarily in Vindre Truth- Forest of Truth). And then there's the East, a place where all that is hidden lingers. That is the place I must search throughout my own journey in the creation of this saga. Finally, there is the South. Dizra (Dark) is what lies there. It is where the wretched workings of the Faithless are constantly being stirred. Just south of that lies Nieniel Ihara (Endless Sky) which remains lost from the tale.

There is still much work to be done on my part. I've begun creating the language of Aridrian, but that still has much left to be done. I think I'm going to start on those other maps tonight so I'll have at least one more finished by tomorrow's post.



Not really sure where this is going to fall into place yet (possibly in Vindrelias), but I do know that it's some sort of large woodland dwelling place. If you look closely, it is all structured around an ancient Tryth (Tree). To give an idea of the scale this structure has, look for the little man on top waving.

I believe this is all I must say for today. There is still much creating to be done and I can only hope I'm able to sleep long enough to sustain. BUT FIRST! I must finish the Sillmarillion tonight!!! Nine long grueling pages to go!
