do you have a synopsis for curated curios? :3 The art looks super interesting!
Oh thats such a fun question!!! I guess I've never posted like a general synopsis before - lemme ramble!
Curated Curios is an anthology of short stories set in this fantasy universe I have built up. Each chapter is a short story from somewhere across The Continent, (which if you click here I have an interactive map of!) Some chapters are standalone short stories exploring the world, and others will contribute to an underlaying story.
Oh, also - there is an underlaying story. We follow the masked Curator and his crew on a voyage across the world. Having just rounded the first half of The Continent and braved the Western Deadlands (which if interests you, is a lil web novella you can go read for free right now!), the ship now rests at the southernmost tip of the Shale Flats. They follow the coast counterclockwise, on route to the warm wind from the north, and looking for a mysterious Her.
What are the intentions of this masked cult? Who is She? And what lies underneath that golden mantle...
And, I feel like I'm boosting this all the time, if you want to get a general vibe for the Curator's storyline, please check out this video!
But yeah, thats pretty much the gist! If you have a look through my tumblr I post pretty constantly about this universe in the little writings underneath my art. In fact, a few of the swords I made last month were from this story or the universe!
FAMILY HEIRLOOM - Redwood! This is quite an important sword
ASYMMETRICAL - The Curator's Blade
LANTERN - From the Island of Ghosts
CHAIN - A trapped Auramic Entity
WITCH - From the Pinelands
Also mainly for new followers (which, hello! thank you all for joining me!) if you like magic items, and want to explore this world even more there's 59 magic items I've made for this world, all usable in your DnD games! Going to add the mentioned swords above to this list when I get the time to write up their stats!
If you can spare a coin, this project is entirely funded by my Patrons, which is just £1!
The first chapter is free! Click here!
And you can read the rest here!
Thank you for the ask, and sorry for this post ended up so big! If you ever have questions about the project, as you can tell I am eager to GUSH at a moments notice! Thank u again! <3
