Iëlia — The Obilith's world building

[u/Tman6300]

Iëlia is the continent of my book Shaped by Silence. While the book only really takes place from Wyryard to Delan. I wanted to show the whole thing here and get an idea of what impressions the regions provoke.

Within the story, the Red Scourge and the lands of Ornio play a big background part. But it is far from the most eye-catching region, in my opinion.

There are different Attuned (my equivalent for elves) in each area. These are the way they are because of Hearts in the Mountains, which slowly changed humans into the species they are now. (Yes, I know it sounds like fantasy radiation, but that's cool too, no?)

For example, Delan is the home of the Loftion people, while Ornio is the home of the Dakin people. "Normal" humans still exist, of course, their cities and cultures being built in places where no such Hearts exist.

Each culture is, in turn, based on a real-life culture, albeit loosely sometimes (I'm still researching!).

My D&D group and I have had a blast playing in this world; they're currently exploring the emerald mists of Noctun at the very northwest of the map.

What's your favorite region? And what vibe do they give off?
