The World of Tenov-Worldbuilding project

[Clockwork he/him]

I'm actually fine splitting up my region. A fifth of a planet is a lot for one person...

[Dragon314 he/him]

Sure. Put them under sapient beings. I have created a topic there called bird peeps. please change that to the name of the species you want to develop.

Clockwork-Do geography. I'm sure someone'll show up to help.

How do I edit the wiki?

[Dragon314 he/him]

I think there is a button in the top rightish called edit the wiki.

The button is  on the top left of the article. @Arraenae

Akalani, name of region or country in region? Done.

Name of Region. Countries to come, but there aren't too many. This isn't exactly a developed part of the world.

Do we need an account? I was editing and there was a message that without an account some things will not be available to me. Will those missing things be super important?

[Dragon314 he/him]

Okay. My thoughts exactly. i have a very basic layout for region 2.

ryshadium90- I don't know. i doubt it. It doesn't take long to get an account, but if you don't want to, i think thats okay.

@Dragon314 how did you make the map? I want to make an individual map for Akalani.

[Dragon314 he/him]

I used pixelmator. If you are on a mac, it is pre-installed.

[ryshadium90]

This is so cool! But I'm in school! And have homework...

[Arraenae]

I'm on mobile and can't do a lot, so I'm going to put my thoughts here instead. This is all spitballing rough concepts, so please tell me your thoughts.

The Corvidae (working name for now) are pretty big birds, about the size of harpy eagles. They have bigger brains to support complex thought. Depending on the physics of this world and how realistic you want it to be, they should be too heavy to fly in a place with Earth gravity. However, this can be handwaved using magic.

The Corvidae love shiny things, which are status symbols to them. The more sparkly, the better.

Speaking of magic, I've written an article on the Wikia on magical amulets that control the elements. Would I be fair in saying that they use Air amulets?

Also- Only 3 feet tall?

@Arraenae I have created the page, when you get the chance you can edit it. I put some very basic info down on your Bird peeps.

[Dragon314 he/him]

Do we want horses? Have horses not been tamed yet? Are there horse sized dogs?

Whatever they are, they don't live in Akalani. The jungle is too dense for a quadrupedal creature of that size that walks on the ground. Animals of that size live higher up. 

[Dragon314 he/him]

Nice. I went ahead and described humans as fairly common, but with few, if any, organized kingdoms. Treehouse civilization @Hemalurgic_Headshot?

Edit: Also, do you want me to make a map for Akalani? I can definitely do it, I just need the basic layout of what you want.

Yes. The Gurdu people, I've already mentioned, will probably fit that description. I might also have a ground-dwelling people that lives further north, where the ground becomes too rocky to support Aoni trees.

[Dragon314 he/him]

Sweet. I'm trying to come up with a new spin on the Merman for my islands.

[Hemalurgic Headshot he/him]

That's interesting. I'm putting too much effort into mine. 

[Dragon314 he/him]

When it comes to fictional worlds, there is no such thing.

Right.

[Steeldancer he/him]

I'll take region 5 I guess ... don't really have time to work on it now though

[Dragon314 he/him]

That's fine. Looking forward to your contributions Flash.

Yeah, that sounds good. These birds use air magic to help themselves fly. One of their coming of age ceremonies is when a young bird gets an air amulet that they can wear around their leg. This lets them fly and officially marks them as a juvenile.

They're actually bigger than 3 feet -- wingspan is around 8 feet. They have long, narrow wings to help them fly long distances.

[Dragon314 he/him]

So how tall are they? Just for interactions with different species.

Also, everyone who wants to should put this in their signature so we can get more participants.
