Welcome dear traveler
You are one of the very few to have found this blog, and probably one of the few that ever will.
This blog here, contains the knowledge of The World of Elanshia, a potential book (maybe show or movie?) series featuring a world filled with mystical creatures, four warrens of intelligent creatures known as Naferas, beasts of earth, water and air, Behemoths given the purpose of keeping the world together by their creator, and an ancient race of holy beings that wield a fire inside of them.
However, the behemoths that were given the task of guidance and the help of growth, the ones who claimed the sky, forsook their duties and their creator. They tried to rebel, and take the lives of many, but werenāt merely strong enough, and were sent into exile in a rotting land surrounded by miles of ocean, and the behemoth that claims the sea to keep them there.
It was thought that this would be the end of the behemoths who claimed the sky, but nay. Over time, they did die out, but one is said to remain, plotting to escape, and scorch the world and the ones who live there, the ones that the creator loves so dearly. Naferas from each warren have noticed unusual changes; a great migration of beasts southward, causing an invasion in their territories, a lack of food in the sea because of the migration, and strange diseases spreading and harming many.
Not only are the environmental impacts a major struggle for the Naferas, they as well have been facing conflicts of their own. The Valley and Desert Naferas have been warring for mineral-rich lands, the Sea Naferas have had a struggle to gather food with harsh storms and fierce leviathan attacks, and the Snow Naferas, the most barbaric, reckless, and fearless warren, living in fear that what was thought to be a beast only in the nightmares of their king, being a reality. The king experienced reoccurring nightmares of an imprisoned beast sent to bring demise to the king and his followers, and with his mysterious death, thereās no telling what the fate of the Snow Naferas will be, and the kingās successor.
Hereās the map of the main part of Elanshia that the story will take place in:
Hereās the four Nafera warrens:
I have yet to draw all of them in an anatomical position
(Placeholder image for now)
Valley Nafera:
A tribe of agricultural Naferas that utilize the rolling fields of grass for growing crops and raising livestock. Valley Naferas rule over a large portion of the Swamplands, the Cloudgrasp Mountains, and of course, The Valley.
Description:
Gentle paws, with long, slim ears and antennae, large eyes and a slender physique.
Colors:
A range of many soft colors, from baby blue, light green, to even softer browns and grayish greens and blues. Once in a while yellow.
Desert Nafera:
A tribe of hunters who rule over the scorched sands and make their homes on the mountainside of the Golden Dale Forest. They survive by shooting down creatures from afar with their advanced range of bows and sky piercing weapons, and have irrigated a lake from the forest down into the desert to create one of the few oasisās.
Description:
Large feet and smaller forearms, both clawed for climbing, smaller antennae and ears, but larger lobes, slimmer eyes and a leather nose, along with shaggier fur.
Colors:
Typically brown, golden, tan, with some hues of maroon or even dark pinks.
Sea Nafera:
An aquatic, cold-blooded species of Nafera that are quite diverse compared to their other species. Sea Naferas claim the shorelines, The Lush Jungle, and a part of the Swamplands, which they share with the Valley Naferas.
Description:
Sleek, shiny scales and a line of ventral scales, gills on their necks, a sail running down their backs and around their tails in place of fur, webbed claws, ears and antennae, with tiny nostrils.
Colors:
Sea Naferas come in a vast range of colors and can even be differentiated from their ancestors original homelands by their coloring. Reef dwellers are bright colors, kelp and sea forest Naferas are greens, maroons and purples, open water Naferas are blues and grays, and deep Sea Naferas are darker colors with bright webbings.
Snow Nafera:
A harsh, barbaric tribe of brutes that reside on an island separate from the other Naferas. Competing for survival against the largest monsters requires a harsher, more strict system.
Description:
The largest species of Nafera. They are covered head to tail in thick, striped fur, sharp claws and thick paws, antennae with one lobe, a leather nose with thick whiskers, thick skulls, and fangs.
Colors:
Snow Naferas are typically dark or icy blues and purples, along with shades of gray and once in a while white. They usually have a pattern of a lighter and darker shade of fur.
Other Nafera notes:
Females and males can be differentiated by their heads, and a bit of their physique. Males typically have thicker heads, can grow facial hair (except Sea Naferas) rounder eyes and a broader chest. Females have a slender snout and eyes, more fur (not Sea Naferas, but you probably get it) and an overall elegant appearance with longer tails.
I promise to draw this, just havenāt had the time.
As of right now, this is only a dream. I dream I hope to accomplish. Iāve been praying about it and asking for signs, and just about every time I have asked for a sign, I received it right away. So I believe that this is what the Lord wants me to do, and Iām gonna trust in Him and do my very best to make this possible and in its fullest perfection. Any form of support is greatly appreciated, anything at all is.
I have plans to make this a 6 book series for arc 1, and I may possibly do another arc it just depends on how I want to end the first one.
Holy yap thatās the most Iāve ever said in my life, and probably the most I ever will say.
I applaud you for reading all this, and greatly appreciate your time for doing so.
Also a side note:
If you guys wanna draw my characters or creatures, you have my full permission to do so, but I ask that you check with me first on that just in case. I can even send you references too.
If you have any questions or ideas regarding my ocs or world please ask me (please I beg of you I would die of joy to get an oc ask) and I will gladly answer.
