are there any {or do you have plans for} indigenous cultures or ethnic minorities within any of the nations of miomir, such as the saami in scandinavia or the 55 different ethnic groups present just in china? {at present your nations just seem like monocultural masses, but you're also still in planning stages from what i've seen}
As I get deeper and further along in world-building, yes, this is definitely something I want to include--at least in a broader scope of things. It's not something that I'm 100% certain will be evident in all the stories, but I do want to be able to have more indigenous cultures fleshed out. That is, you know, once I figure out where everyone comes from and where their ancestors went (or didn't).Many cultures and peoples are still very much in the bare bones "laying down the tracks" sort of stages as I work on different areas of the world. Feel free to check out the Regions section and/or let me know if you have any suggestions for groups of people/types of cultures you'd like to see in a fantasy world!Thanks for the great question--this is something I had never originally thought much about before I started world-building Miomir in true earnest; initially the story only focused on one area of the world, and my main thoughts were more on dragons. But, as I've progressed in more story content and created a map (that I am in love with), and talked to more and more people about it--and about writing in general--making the world as diverse as I can in cultures, religions, and everything else has become another goal of mine along with the stories. I'd love to have a world that is more than only half-formed, that I can write a different, connected story in any part of and have vastly different elements than another part might have.
