Bird-Kith Concept Design

I have decided that with my depression, and everything. I am not going to do Nanowrimo. I don’t feel prepare for it in the slightest and the degree of self loathing that I have been struck with is unbelievably intense this time.

So I will use the month of Nanowrimo, to world build and make the plot of my novel really bullet-proof before commencing. So that will be in December. So for now building my overall world’s lore and culture. As well as plot construction and design for not only “Daughter of the Snow”, “Descent into Darkness” and “For the Sake of Revenge” (my greatest challenge and enemy).

First Rule of Writing a Novel:

“Your villain/antagonist, not the protagonist, should be your most developed and thought out character.”

"You are welcome to enter my domain. Do as you see fit. It will not matter. This is MY realm. I alone can decide its ultimate fate. It will not bend to your will. It is too proud. Too scared to even think of disobeying me. But it is ok. It has learned that to please me, to provide me with sacrifices and entertainment, will curry my favor. To bring greater prosperity. For here, I am law."

A tribal nation on the eastern coast of Yholl-tai, the Denashi confederacy is a nation who has risen to a position of power and wealth. It's position along the southern parts of the middle ocean combined with its natural harbors has made it a natural jumping off point for expeditions into the shattered sea, southern oceans, and even for those who wish to make the long journey to or from the distant lands of Everice.

AREA

839,818,402.13926 sq. km. Of this, 40% (335,927,360.855704 sq. kilometers) is arable land, and 60% (503,891,041.283556 sq. Kilometers) is wilderness.

GEOGRAPHY

The landscape of Denashi is a series of valleys and fjords nestled among many mountains, plateaus, and peninsulas. These valleys are filled with thick rainforests, providing the inhabitants with a large bounty to live off. The mountains have made a region of phenomenally dry flat-lands.

SEASONAL SHIFT

During the long winter, much like the rest of Haakha, it is cold and dark. Snow and ice can be found in the warm, humid lowlands. The highlands become incredibly difficult to live in, meaning many smaller villages migrate to the lowlands to survive.

As winter fades and spring begins to warm the world, the lowlands reveal there true selves as hot, steamy jungles. The inhabitants of the smaller settlements once more return to the cooler highlands. They repair their settlements and ready them for the next season. They harvest food and other resources from the jungles below so as to be ready for when the seasons change again.

As Haakha enters its long summer, the jungles begin to grow hotter and hotter as the water itself begins to evaporate within the sunlight. The smaller villages begin to conserve water as it becomes harder to come across.

As summer fades, it turns to fall, a near perfect reflection of spring. And the cycle continues over and over again, as it always has.

This is part of my current WIP over on worldanvil. I’ve also posted this on my DA account and hope to post the whole thing by the end of the month/beginning of next month.

BEHOLD!

I finally got to a place with the Fashtali species article where I was comfortable sharing it with people. Let me know what you think of Haakha’s chonky bois.

Hey, so, apparently I had already posted this over there. I’m sorry for the confusion and stuff, the site told me that it wasn’t published yet, and I didn’t check/notice that it was until today.
