Alright bois!!!! I'M WRITING A TRILOGY. Some of you saw the post I made about the plant based magic system, which will be the magic system of this book, but I hid that post to post the final ideas here. I will put everything contained in the old post in a spoiler right here. Now. This info will be crucial to the book, and the lore surrounding the Verdurian I plan to write into a prelude short story. But I spent two hours last night planning out a rough draft of the plot of book 1. It's going to be totally dope. Some basic info: Book 1 will be titled Verdur, and will mostly be character and world development, with some plot development towards the end and middle. Book 2 will be titled Sanctum, and will follow our main characters on a journey that can be most similarly compared to the journey made by Wax and Wayne (and co) to the bands of mourning place. Book 3 will be titled Pandura, and will follow the culmination of several lost-to-time prophecies in-world, discovered by main crew at the Sanctum. I'm very excited to write this, and I will dedicate the rest of this post to explaining the politics, countries, and other misc details. The continent Glii is also one country, split into 6 provinces. There are technically 7 provinces, but the 7th is just the northern 1/3 of the continent, known simply as The Forest. The 6 provinces hold a host of humans, and every province has a different culture, but they all share the same ideas regarding how they came to be and Verdur. People from the western provinces look Asian, and people from the eastern provinces look Caucasian. As I come up with reasons the Provinces are important, I'll add it. The 6 Provinces (West to East): Galur Fildur Vulno Thalo Alphii Rekni All 6 Provinces are run by an Elected, who deals with law inside the province. The Presidents are under the Hiprime and Shiprime of Glii, who deal with affairs that span the whole country. The Elected are voted in by popular vote by the people. The entire country takes democracy and feudalism, and mushes it together into something I call Feumocracy. (patent pending jk( yes i created a political system)) Feumocracy is interesting, because we have voting, and court, but we also have nobility. the nobility are crucial as they hold a lot of sway in the provinces and the country as a whole. When an Elected is running for office as a Candidate, it's a good idea to have some nobles on their side, as people will listen more. The southern continent, Vurnii, is cold and kinda dark (see my solar explanation (ima explain that more in a bit)) with one solitary village near the Holy Spring. Now let me attempt to re-explain the thing with the planet. So Glii is in permanent Summer/Spring and Vurnii is in permanent Winter because of how the orbit around the sun works. The axis works like a wobbly top going around an object. Except there's a pattern. The thing you hold to spin the top, the handle, is always leaning towards the center object. in this case, the "handle" of Gliivurnii is always leaning towards the sun, as the planet rotates around the sun, thus keeping Glii in Summer/Spring and Vurnii in Winter. I hope that makes sense. Now i think that's everything, so I'm gonna post this. K great. Cool.
