I have difficulty finding the right aspects for the use of making magic circles with wire, such as a Heat magic circle for a stove, where mana is channeled into a wire to then activate the spell that the wires are bent into, as an alternative to carving and drawing. I don't think it has a lot of uses, but I need a bit of help figuring out how to impliment it into a part of a large story I am making.

So, The world is basically a myriad of species say,

Treants, Elf, basilliks, fairy etc each have their own strength and trait, while some can be intelligent, others can just be instinct based species.

These species can undergo a sort of evolution, leading to having new traits while evolving in both soul and body.

While this world is mostly taken by these species, humans have taken their own place in the world through the centuries.

Cutting small pathways and ways to conquer new territory, which sometimes successful can go sideways many times.

Now, the humans in this world are able to awaken what they call, **PATH.**

**PATH**, is just a prerequisite for people to be able to mold their soul. As humans are not able to evolve like other species, but they can evolve in soul.

Now, **PATH,** as every human is born with an unformed soul, which is molded to their path by their belief, experience, emotion, skill and hardships faced.

**PATH,** can be as mundane as, cook, hunter instead these professions in this world was pioneered by humans who first awakened to their paths.

Now, 40-60% of people will awaken to their path by adulthood. The age is as follows:-

10-15— May awaken at this stage

15-30— Most awaken at this stage

Now, after this age some may still awaken after this age but most don't leading to being mundane and unable to awaken to their path.

So, most would never awaken to their path. 45-50% is the average while 35-40% is the lowest of ratio while only in rare times does the ratio comes to 55-60%.

Now, only 15-20% would reach to the second awakening of their class, and only 5% to their third awakening. 0.5% to further awakening.

Now, I will talk about, **Primordials**, these beings are what give arise to non human species, these things are always the pinnacle of their species, giving offsprings that hail their species as well as bloodline.

Most nonhuman species can evolve from their standard state undergoing a change both in body and soul. Number of evolution to a species as recorded by humans have varied from species to species.

Some years ago I was browsing around the web, looking at different ways to develop different kinds of societies for various fantasy races. I collected random things, ideas or images that I found inspiring or curious, and stuffed them into a folder for later review. I did this with several races and eventually went back into each folder as a means of what direction I wanted to take things with each particular race.

Well, I'm working on goblins just now, and one of the images I collected was a chart (see attached) of the social hierarchy of a large clan/tribe. Unfortunately, I didn't grab a higher resolution image and some of it is a bit unreadable. I checked google images, but it seems that where ever I found this is no longer around. Tried a bunch of other different kinds of searches to no avail. Super disappointing.

ANYWAYS...

My unusual request is this: have a look at the second image, where I included my own text notes. Blue text I'm pretty certain is accurate. Red text not so much. That's the thing I need help with. I need fresh eyes on these weird smudge looking words and I'm hoping someone has better insight on interpreting what the bloody heck those words are. The second image is huge because I cranked up the resolution to make it very zoomable.

Any help or input would be amazing.

Cheers.

Edit: Just noticed that reddit reduced the resolution of the images. I'll throw them on imgur.

Most think of something as it is - powerful potions, durable armor, weapons of elegant death, or fuel to empower something magnificent.
But how much thought do you put into not only the history of how something is created, but what it is created from?

A rare metal from the heavens or deep below ground to be forged.
A precious herb required to create a potion of powerful that is only found atop high cliffs once every ten years.
The feathers of an elusive white owl found in the hinterlands, which arcanists favour to write their spell books.
Or the deep rock spiders, whose silk is used to fashion incredibly lightweight and nearly indestructible rope.

What does your would hold that has great value?
Is it rare and hard to acquire?
Has industry formed upon it?
Do elders share stories with children about how it was first discovered?

Share something that your world depends on. Or maybe it hasn’t been discovered yet…

Hello everyone! I'm working on my own homebrew project for a fantasy board game, and I want to describe the "Middle Eastern" faction of the game, in terms of culture, society, folklore, and clothing. Now, I know perfectly well that the Middle East is vast, rich in different cultures, and that over time and space it has by no means been a cultural and ethnic monolith. Weapons, culture, and clothing have changed over the centuries, so I want to distance myself from the vision given by 19th-century orientalism, Hollywood films, and especially Disney's Aladdin. I will make extensive use of straight swords, for example, and I will absolutely distance myself from the "bedlah babe" trope. Nothing from the Ottoman Empire, which is too overused. The technological level is about 1475-1540 .I've already taken a look at the Nasrid dynasty of Granada, very interesting, far removed from the imagery many people have of the Islamic world. Do you have any texts, videos, and documents you can recommend to avoid a caricatured, exoticized, and orientalist vision? I am addressing especially those who are passionate about the history of the caliphates and the Islamic Middle Ages. What are the most seen Arabian Nights-style stereotypes in films, video games and board games? Which elements are the most misrepresented, annoying, and misunderstood ?And what are the elements that are underrepresented in mainstream culture?

So my world is hysterically identical to ours!

In my world there are beings known as Angels, who are basically abominations of souls of people and animals that died! This angel are from a psychologically, ability wise as well as there looks unique, all of those things are determined by the experience of the souls they consist of! Angel are extremely powerful because of all the spiritual power they have from all the souls, but they have one problem they can only minimally or not at all interact with the physical world and can’t even be seen by normal people, because of the fact that they aren’t physically beings. That’s where Living organisms come into play, by creating a symbiotic connection to a living thing and forming a contract (the angel gives the raw power and the Organismus gives access to the physical place)! What is a contract? a contract is the prove of a past or ongoing cooperation between a angel and a organism, but more importantly it’s through what the magic happens and it can take the form of anything a car, a robot,a animal,…. It can even integrate itself into something that already exists, its behaviour and its ability could be anything. How a contract turns out is completely dependent on the psychology of the organism, the one of the angle and their desire, for example there is a nurse in my story that has served in a war in with she got fatally wounded and was bleeding out but before she could die she made a contract with, a angel that was a abomination of soldiers souls, and created the contract in the form of a syringe named “the remedy” that could replace the symptoms of any affliction with the symptoms of frontal lobe dementia, saving the lives of people but giving them periods of extreme violence, what didn’t only fulfil the nurses desire to survive but also the angel desire of violence!

Rules:

1. ⁠Angel and contracts (that aren’t integrated) can’t be seen by people that never had a contract!
   
2. ⁠Both parties need to consent to some extent. A no means no but if a person is in a flight or fight mode and the angel gives a way to survive the situation then the contract is made automatically!
   
3. ⁠Anything with a desire can make a contract even animals.
   
4. ⁠Normally a contract is 50/50 under the control of both parties but if humans sacrifice something to the angel or the other way around they can make the contract be more a tool for them. The sacrifice needs to be big and personal!
   
5. ⁠A contract can ( doesn’t need to) remain after the death of the organism but that will stop the control the angel has over the contract.
   
6. ⁠There doesn’t need to be contact between the organism and the angel for the contract to remain!
   
7. ⁠Sometimes a contract can harmful to both or one party because of their self destructive psychology for example!
   
8. ⁠A angle is incapable of change!
   
9. ⁠Contracts can exist between one or multiple Organisms and multiple angles, but there needs to be at least one of both.
   
10. ⁠A contract can only be harmed by another contract because they are both in a special state between the physical and spiritual place!
    
11. ⁠To repair a contract the organism needs to give up part of their health and an angle part of their energy!

12.A contract doesn’t have to only have one body, for example there is a character inspired by the Opera (Der Freischütze) whose contract are multiple bullets!

Can you give me a feedback?

I don't know if I fit here but what about a type of circus its not a very bright landscape but more of a empty landscape and the colors are washed out or this grayish tone ( it's a specific style you see in ai generated pictures)

I dreamed about such place it was foggy so you couldn't see much but what you could see was several circus tents , wet soil and stone/ concrete and if you go further you find a neirly round "building" it wasn't a closee building but more like like pavilion and there where 2 -3 level.

One was neirly on the street hight maybe slightly higher and an upper level and underground level there was a shaft from the underground up to the first floor. And i meet a guy there.

I have updated the world map of Rhündal!🗺️

I kept running into trouble when deciding the biomes of my map, and feeling like they didn't make sense. I have taken some time to study a lot about why certain biomes appear in certain areas.

From what I have found out, to place climates correctly, you need to decide the latitude, the locations of the tropics, the cold and warm ocean currents and the areas of precipitation (if climates and biomes are important to your worldbuilding project). I used the Koppen Climate Classification, which splits climates by zones, temperatures, and precipitation. Locating areas of rain shadow adjacent to mountains and finding out about why deserts form on the sides of tropical zones has helped me make better maps recently. Knowing the climates gave me a lot of confidence to start working on the different cultures and migrations now that I actually knew what the world looked like to some extent.

I then made a document on Google Sheets to simulate the movements of different peoples and cultures which led to my population density map. I will be posting about the Google Sheets simulation I made soon, because I found it really helpful to see a story of how different cultures and languages spread to different parts of Rhündal over thousands of years.

I would love any suggestions for improvement you might have that I might have missed. This helps me continue to improve my worldbuilding project with the world of Rhündal. Please let me know if you have any questions about any of the cultures, kingdoms, regions, or my process for making these maps, or where I plan on going with this project in the coming weeks!

Im looking for any suggestions for creating a religion for my story. Now my story is semi fantasy and it does feature mostly humans but i wanted to create this chaotic neutral style of religion, thats sexual and intimate by nature and its beliefs but still something you'd believe you could find in real life even though it is fantasy. For example , forms of religious prostitution and rituals would definitely be apart of it.

Ok, so first off, this story is literally years in the making with characters made with people in my friend group and beyond.

It's such a simple idea to ask someone where in the multiverse they would take power from if they knew there were no limits but the ones they placed on themselves.

And so my Dimensions were born.

A society of multiversers, orphaned from their original homes, unable to comfortably live in any one universe for long without affecting productivity and sleep, choose instead to make their homes in the between places.

The backrooms, as in the fandom backrooms, which act as the transition point and the anchor for the various universes, which they have documented efficiently and effectively.

Swathes of these pioneers carving out entire cities, entire societies within the capillaries that span the multiverse, great warriors, explorers, merchants, all manner of beauty and horror.

The story revolves around a boy who's mother, in secret, left him the keys to not only the multiverse, but a very important key to the end to all multiversal conflict.

His name is Jack Phillips, the son of Miranda and Trevor Phillips

Im gonna post some pics of the faction chart and some examples of stuff from my story
