I forget when I got this cactus- my mom went to Punta Cana and she wrapped a lil piece of a cactus in a cloth and brought it home and we planted it. The photo on the left is from 2020, the photo on the right is 2026. Look how big it’s grown!

Because I got asked about the lore of my campaign…

Here is a bit of said lore

(Please note: I created this world and it’s lore all on my own for fun, I’m not a professional story-writer or anything :,) )

I guess it’s best to start at the very beginning, before jumping straight to somewhere within my currently running campaign…

So-

Here is my campaigns universe;

This is ‘Lactea’, or, also/more commonly known as ‘Point of Creation’.

They are the center of my campaign universe. (Side note: I run multiple campaigns and all worlds basically exist within this universe)

Lactea is less of a person/god and more of a concept… their appearance can change and is never set in stone… these drawings are just ways I like to imagine/depict them myself. (Side note number two: the first of two drawings were actually created together with two of my players! We just used a website in order to all draw together on one piece… I loved seeing their interpretation of Lactea, after seeing my drawings)

Because of that, I don’t really care what pronouns etc one uses for Lactea. I myself switch their pronouns up every now and then, because I can never really decide which ones I find most fitting lol.

(Very old notes from when I first started conceptualizing my campaigns universe) (some ideas have slightly changed since then, but I thought it would be fun to include the beginnings)

(Please ignore any spelling mistakes, these notes where just ideas I scribbled down when I first got the idea)

Lactea is a being created from consuming all that came before them… It’s not really something they did/do by choice, this is just how they were formed.

In this universe, gods are stars. Once a god is created/someone would rise to godhood, they would become a star, watching over the planets and bestowing believers/followers with gifts, nurturing the planets etc…

When Lactea came into existence, they consumed everything around them. Every old world, every star. The stars around them (aka gods) were what they needed to consume to be born. To even fully come to existence.

Lactea was born after everything around them got consumed by them, they were born into an empty void basically… and while they were able to create new worlds and magic, they couldn’t create any new gods, as they would immediately get consumed by Lactea (this is something out of Lacteas control)

Lactea is a quiet observer if you will. They don’t interfere with the worlds they’ve created and don’t show themselves, even when giving spell-casters and other magically attuned creatures access to their magical powers.

I guess that’s it for my first dnd lore post :)

Thank you to everyone who has read this far and thank you to all the kind comments and re-blogs! I’ve always been more of a quiet watcher on tumblr, than an active poster… so this is very new for me.

Btw-

I’m also still working on fully fleshing out a language that is spoken across the planets within this universe (basically a replacement for ‘common’ as language)

It has its own grammar-rules and alphabet etc… (but like I said… it’s still a work in progress)
