Plans for a world.

[StOrMxWiZ]

Hi, it's me. Again.

I used to use a made-up world called Artitac. But years ago, I lost the map I labored over and haven't seen it since. But, I remembered many of the unforgettable concepts and have decided, in honor of the great RP's that took place in it, to attempt reconstructing it.

So today, I sat down in front of the computer and began typing up some stuff.

<span style="color:red;">- NOTE: This list is FAR from complete. I'd estimate about 8-12% of it is done. -</span>
The Land of Artitac

List of Countries:

<span style="color:blue;">Northern & Southern Arkiwan</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Countries of Conflict]</span> – Arkiwan used to be a single continent, having a capital on southern side of it. But when a magic spring was discovered on the northern side and declared as the new capital, the southern parts of Arkiwan were outraged and waged war upon the northern half. One person who was traveling the lands came, and before any lives were taken, made a pact with the two countries and ordered both sides to build one large wall that separated the two countries. The leader of Northern Arkiwan shook hands with the leader of Southern Arkiwan, and that was the last the two saw of each other. But, with the uprising evil, it may be time for the two countries of Arkiwan to reconsider.

<span style="color:blue;">Kia’shiak</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of Ruins]</span> – A country of devastation. It used to be a wonderful land, but one day, a shadow crept over the land and caused a war that was the end of Kia’shiak. Since Kia’shiak never had fought battles before and never expected to fight one, they did not have an army. The country was destroyed and still stands as a large ruin.

<span style="color:blue;">New Kia’shiak</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of Resolution]</span> – Some who were able to flee from Kia’shiak started a new country and named it New Kia’shiak, in honor of those who died in the battle. The country is still being rebuilt, but many people still live in it. If the construction goes at this same pace, New Kia’shiak will thrive like the old Kia’shiak.

<span style="color:blue;">Tempastas Ventus</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of Storms]</span> – This small country lies in the center of the ocean in Artitac. Before a strange incident happened, it was called Sol Solis Ventulus. Tempastas Ventus was once attacked by the Black Legion, and ever since, the town has always been overcast and in a storm. The townsfolk have never been able to get used to this. Most of them moved out, but some stayed.

<span style="color:blue;">Skalitus-Lixitus</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of Darkness]</span> – This dark country has almost never been explored by those other than the Black Council. It is always dark in this forsaken country. Nobody knows what happens, but there is one large energy beam that emits from the center of the swamp-country.

<span style="color:blue;">Skalitus-Exitus</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of Shadows]</span> – One country that none have ventured into, except for one person (his companion did not live). This one man said that “lights float around about a foot off the ground in this accursed swamp-country. When he was with his companion, they went close up to one of the lights, and when he said that there was nothing interesting, his friend’s eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell right into the swamp and died. Then the lights began coming after the man, and he fended them off with a pure crystal called Argentum Levitas. This gave him enough time to escape.

<span style="color:blue;">Obscurum</span> <span style="color:gray;">[The Country of the Black Legion]</span> – Obscurum is the home of the Black Council, the cause of all the chaos in the world. No one has ever returned from this country. Most people think that after extensive research on the subject, the Black Legion is made up of any living organism that is willing to give its soul up in order to fight for the Black Council. Obscurum covers nearly half of the world on a normal day in darkness, and on the solstices it covers the whole world. This is caused by the source of energy for the Black Council – a large prism known as the Eternus-Carcalix.

A few extra terms used in the World of Artitac:

<span style="color:blue;">Levita</span> – Term used for lightning caused by something other than weather.
<span style="color:blue;">Velox Ventus</span> – Term used for wind caused by something other than weather.
<span style="color:blue;">Black Legion</span> – The army commanded by the Black Council. People give up their souls and pledge their eternal loyalty to the Black Council in order to become a member of the Black Legion. One they do this, their souls are taken away, and they become lifeless beings with hardly any free will. There is one person, though, who managed to break out of this spell due to one motivation – to rescue his best friend who was being corrupted.
<span style="color:blue;">Black Council</span> – The Black Council is the term for the corrupted people who are the cause of all the chaos in present day Artitac.
<span style="color:blue;">Eternus-Carcalix</span> – The one prism that is the source of the Black Council’s power. It causes the unnatural darkness around the world.

There are more countries, more terms, and I am putting together a list of cities and places (such as forests) that were inside the countries (god my brain keeps trying to say "continents", but I have to keep erasing it).

[The Great Nevareh]

Your world sounds extremely unstable from the information we have thus far.

It would make more sense to put down everything that pertains to one subject rather than fragments of subjects put up piece by piece.

It might be a better idea, overall, if you were to write this entire thing out to yourself and then edit it for continuity and the like before attempting to flesh it out here. That way you keep vile fiends of fiendish fiendishness like me at bay by starving us of things to criticize unduly. <p>[---------------------------]
