Main Antagonist Intro|

Name: Prince Cassius Elavore

Age: 15-19 (Book One)

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Cassius Elavore has been told his whole life who he is and who he will be. His father taught him that the only way to hold onto power is with an iron fist, and Cassius took that to heart. On a routine parade in Lighton, when the king is threatened, Cassius kills the young boy who threw the knife. He didn’t think there would be any consequences, for who could stand against the Eagles of Elavore?

He was wrong.

Years later, while touring the different Universities, Cassius is placed in the same room as one Niric Roan: a commoner who doesn’t seem to understand the hierarchy of Parilos. This peasant argues with the Prince, threatens him, and even pulls a blade on him on multiple occasions.

 All of this leaves Cassius with one question: What did Cassius do to earn this commoner’s wrath?

[songoftheabyss]

Does anyone know any good map making websites or artists? I have a rough draft, but I'd like some help with having a solid example.

[songoftheabyss]

Hey! It’s @literary-lavender. I saw that you’re trying to find beta readers for the first few chapters of The Song of the Abyss, and I’m here to let you know that I’d be happy to help whenever you’d like!

That'd be great!

Character Intro

Name: Konnor Serin

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Konnor Serin was born to a nice family, in a nice part of Lighton. He was raised to be a well-mannered young man. He exceeded all expectations and began to learn math from a young age. For all intents and purposes, Konnor Serin was a nice boy.

Was.

When he was 6 years old, his parents went into debt, and the King’s tax collectors threw them in prison and threw Kon into Madam Malloria’s Orphanage. When the plague hit that year, his parents were among the first to go. And so, because of the King, Kon lost his family.

At the orphanage, however, he met Niric Roan, who was two years his senior and already vastly successful at picking everything from pockets to locks. Kon idolized Niric, and soon was seen as the older boy’s younger brother. When Niric left to join a gang, Kon went with him. With his golden hair and charming smile, Kon was perfect for distracting all the good intention marks in the city. Together, with Niric’s planning, the brothers brought in some of the biggest hauls their gang, the Pox, had ever seen.

Kon never forgot, however, how the King caused his family’s death. And so, on one fateful day, when the King decided to visit Lighton for the first time in a decade, Kon tried his hand at a plan. The King was going to be ruined. And no one, not even Niric, would stop him.

P.s. I know that this is the second Character post, but y'all should pay attention to the square in the bottom left. It’ll tell you stuff about the characters!

[songoftheabyss]

happy MGM! if Konnor were approached by a boy asking him to be his master in swordplay, what would he do?

Kon: *is handed a piece of paper by Niric*

Kon: I would say, no thank you, I'm not interested. I'm only interested in rainbows and sunsets and- OH YOU FUCKER

[songoftheabyss]

Hello! I was wondering if you could add me to the tag list for the song of the abyss! I really enjoyed the character introductions you posted and think the story sounds very exciting!

Absolutely!

New Writeblr!

Hey everybody, my name is Lan and I'm 19.

I'm currently working on an Epic Fantasy Novel named "The Song of the Abyss" about a thief who sets out to learn magic to kill the King. My goal is to finish the first draft by September 30th.

I'd love to get to know anybody who writes Fantasy so if that's you, let me know!

[the-orangeauthor]

I love when new people come by but Im apparently very bad at actually finding new people 😅

I'm Anmol, I adore writing and reading fantasy and your WIP sounds great, would love to know what the titles relation to the story is!

[songoftheabyss]

That would be a spoiler alert, I'm afraid.

Its World Building Wednesday!

Reblog this post every Wednesday to send and receive asks specifically about world building!

[manitamuerte]

Meet & Greet Monday

Hey writeblr community! Reblog this post to let others know you’d like some questions in your inbox every monday for/about your OCs! 

Depending on the question, try to answer them ‘in-character!’ The goal is to introduce your OCs and flesh them out a bit more, so feel free to make lots of posts and be sure to tag them with ’#meet and greet monday’ or ’#magm’!

The idea for this lovely event was originally given to me by @scribbleoutauniverse​​, so be sure to check out their stuff, too!

[songoftheabyss]

Hey, guys! So, as is probably clear from my profile, I'm actually pretty new to this whole Writeblr stuff. For example, I don't know the specific days I'm supposed to post specific things? So, if anyone wants to help me out in any way, I'd really appreciate it!

Also, im in the search for Beta readers once I've gotten the first three chapters done, and I know how early this is, but if anyone would be willing, please message me!

Also, thanks everyone for the warm welcome to the community. I'm actually super nervous about my writing, and it feels so nice to be accepted.

[songoftheabyss]

I have been notified that my book is not, actually, Epic Fantasy, but instead it is High Fantasy. Sorry for the confusion, guys.

[yvesdot]

Personally, it’s totally okay with me if you return asks late–or don’t return them, really, but if we’re in some kind of STS situation and it’s Monday now? Please don’t worry about being late. I promise I’m always happy to receive asks, whatever theme, whatever day.

Admittedly, I’m making this post because I was worried about returning asks late… so please do reblog it if you feel the same way! I’ll still return asks just in case, and hopefully I won’t ruffle any feathers by sending a theoretically Monday question on a Thursday.

[notwritinganyflufftoday]

I sent out a lot of STS asks (and I try to be consistent in that), but I never expect people to answer them “on time” time is a social construct peeps

I just want people to have fun with them, just as I have fun answering the ones I get!

[ren-c-leyn]

I understand not having the energy or time to get to things immediately, so don’t worry about answering my asks ‘late’.Take your time with them, have fun with them, really, I don’t mind when they’re done so long as you enjoyed them. ^-^

Main Character Introduction

Name: Niric Roan

Age: 15 - 18 (Book One)

‘Gender: Male

Sexuality: Questioning

Niric Roan has spent his life relying on very few people. His mother died giving birth to him, and with no family to speak of, he grew up in Madam Malloria’s Home for Orphans. In that time, he became incredibly close to one Konnor Serind, and the two began to view each other as the brother they never had.

Dark-skinned among the people of Lighton, Niric was regularly accused of being half Avarite, which he vehemently refused. It was these accusations that taught Niric how to fight, run, and hide. When he was 7 years old, Niric met a cunning old man who taught him all the things he needed to know to be a thief. By the time he was 9, the old man had named Niric Captain of his gang, the Pox, and Niric left Madam Malloria’s.

Years later, tragedy struck, and Niric set out with a traveling mage, who began his tutelage in magic, dueling, and politics. When he finally arrived at the Nexus, Niric was placed in the Second Years classes. His brusque nature made him a target among the elite, and Niric searched his peers for allies.

But when a forbidden kind of magic is mentioned, Niric begins to learn that not everything in this new environment was accepted, and his sharp mind is drawn to the secret of Making magic. Could this be the weapon he needed for his revenge? Or was there a good reason no one speaks of it?

WIP Announcement

Summary: Niric Roan is a thief, born and raised in Lighton, City of Thieves. Living on stolen bread and clueless marks, he’s given most of what he scavenged to his younger brother. But when his brother is killed by the King’s ruthless son during a parade, Niric sets out for Parilos’ leading University: The Nexus. Armed with a sharp mind and a sharper blade, he begins to learn the only thing that can satisfy his thirst for vengeance: Magic.

Surrounded on all sides by politics, death and forbidden secrets, Niric must maintain both his studies and his life. But his professors aren’t the only ones whose eye he’s caught.

The King wants Niric’s loyalty.

Niric wants the King dead.

Revolution is coming.
