Culture Composites: Gejara

Posted on April 22, 2020 by H. Anthe Davis

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…

Culture Composites: Averogne

Posted on February 21, 2020 by H. Anthe Davis

Second-to-last of the Imperial provinces and protectorates is this quiet little place, sited in the shadow of the Rift and a vassal of the Empire for decades before the Empire invaded any other western territory.  Averogne yielded easily to the … Continue reading →

Culture Composites: Muria

Posted on January 30, 2020 by H. Anthe Davis

Continuing the Culture Composites series, this will be a short one!  And require the use of a rather haphazard map.  The target this time is Muria, the hidden homeland of the silver elementals (or Muriae) and their Primordial, Brancir.  Muria … Continue reading →

Trope Roulette: My Instincts Are Showing

Posted on November 24, 2014 by H. Anthe Davis

It’s been a while, but I’m ready for a second installment of Trope Roulette!  The idea is to visit that evil time-sink of a site, TVTropes, and hit the Random button until I find something I can talk about.  This … Continue reading →

Tough Traveling with Fantasy Review Barn — City of Wizards

Posted on May 1, 2014 by H. Anthe Davis

I think the only book in the FRB post for today that I’ve read is the Harry Potter series, though I do have Shadow and Bone on my list…somewhere down in the hundred-somethings, perhaps…  No reflection on the book’s perceived … Continue reading →

Culture Composites: Corvia

Posted on March 9, 2014 by H. Anthe Davis

I realized that while I was moving eastward through my cultures, I entirely skipped the Corvish (or Korvii) — which is weird, because they’re some of my favorites.  This may have to do with the fact that I am, myself, … Continue reading →
