Obligatory pinned introductory post
What's up Tumbos, this is my idea/inspiration/worldbuilding blog for a story I'm planning to write, wherein I will be posting...ideas, inspiration, and worldbuilding. For a story I'm planning to write.
What's the story?
It's a sword and sorcery dinopunk story called, get this, Know, O Princess, in which a mercenary recounts her eventful life story to a curious princess during a long journey.
The fuck does "sword and sorcery dinopunk" mean, you stupid nerd?
Imagine Conan the Barbarian, with dinosaurs. Robert E. Howard's Hyborian Age is actually a pretty big influence on the setting, and the story's title is itself inspired by the opening to the first published Conan story, The Phoenix on the Sword:
Know, o prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars—Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingara with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom of the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen- eyed,sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.
...Only gender swapped because one of the main characters is a princess.
Will you be posting a lot of art for it here then?
Probably not, because I don't enjoy drawing as much as I used to and I'm much more interested in writing. There will be maps though. You can't have a fantasy setting without maps.
Okay that's all for now I may come back and edit this post later or I might not who cares bye.
