On the desert island archipelago Xazywz, populated sparsely by tribes of the Agado, a small race of lizard people, roams the Desert Queen Naraya. At least so the story goes. Once she was a kind and gentle sorceress of the forest.
Naraya had a strong power with the forest creatures, she could call them, heal […]
After coming up with the idea for this world of a bunch of floating islands, I recalled this image off of VisualParadox:
The image is of course copyright VisualParadox.
Not exactly what I had pictured (no odd bubbles over the islands), but it gives one an idea of what I’m talking about here.
This section is a little more intertwined in the RPG aspects of working magic in this world, i.e. game mechanics, rules, etc. I’m open to new ideas but this was sort of a system I devised:
Mages
Mages are limited by several factors when wanting to cast a spell:

1. The many gods fought a disastrous battle and unleashed their powers on the land, causing founts of fire and trembling earth to rend the earth […]
The world of…(this and any other proper nouns will change many times, I’m sure) Auri (ore-rye) has a long history that dates back into ancient, forgotten history. Auri is no longer truly a world, but rather a series of magically linked lands referred to as “islands”.
Each floats in space. Picture a large […]
Much will likely change, hence I made the title, URL, and description of this world blog very generic. I started with the idea to create a world for RPGs and stories that was different from the rest, but that learned from those before it and was more fully fleshed out than any simple world I […]
Welcome to my new blog, Creation of a Fantasy World. Here I intend to experiment in creating an environment in which to entertain two goals:
A basis for roleplaying adventures in the GURPS system
A background for short stories and novels of the fantasy/medieval genre
In attempting to create such a world, I have several goals:
To take into […]
