Culture Composites: Daecia
Here, at last, is the final Imperial Heartlands culture composite: Daecia and the Palace.
Culture Composites: Gejara
Even though the Imperial Heartlands culture composites are just one step from finished, I’ve decided to pass beyond the borders to write up the independent nation of Gejara instead. The last Imperial province, after all, is Daecia and the Palace…
Tough Traveling with Fantasy Review Barn — Shapeshifting
Now this one, I can do! Once again, I’m taking a cue from Nathan over at Fantasy Review Barn and babbling about one of the tropes in my writing, as identified in Diana Wynne Jones’ satiric take on fantasy worlds. … Continue reading
