Happy writeblr live, Sunny!
Tell me more about Legacy of Fallen Stars! You say it’s low to medium fantasy, how do you define that for yourself?
HELLO!! Ty for the ask!! Happy writeblr live! :3
I consider LFS to be low to medium fantasy because in this era and the story itself, there are no sentient nonhuman species that are prevalent, and there are limitations to magic that exists and who can use it.
For example, only 6 people in this story actually were born as mages that have the ability to manipulate an element (without too much in-depth yapping unless you'd like to hear about it, they're basically personified manifestations of the old gods' power and influence in the world for the first time in centuries) and only a select few others have enhanced abilities. There is one man who harnesses the full power of a god at will, but he broke the laws of magic and defied several other gods in the process. If you cannot already guess, he's our wonderfully hatable antagonist.
Other than that, natural magic exists everywhere but is very hard to come by and even harder for humans to harness and use, which is typically via magical flora and fauna, runes (which often require usable elemental magic and energy from the user) or magical artifacts which are few and far between.
There are some nature spirits and the occasional magic plant or creature as I mentioned, but again those are generally hard to find because they've naturally learned over the centuries to stay away from humans as much as possible.
LFS used to be strictly low-fantasy with only the 6 young mages having any semblance of magic, but in the last six months or so I've majorly expanded the magic aspect of the world to fit the vibes better and make it more fun to write!!
The prequel WIP I have is actually set in the same world as LFS but quite a long time before the events of LFS, like we're talking prolly at least a thousand years if not more, and that's more a medium to high fantasy because while humans exist and are *ahem* very prevalent in the prequel, there's a lot of other species and use of magic that exist in it prior to the events of LFS. Do with that what you will :)
Anyway thank you for the ask love! I love yappin about my characters and WIP so if you have any more questions feel free to drop by! <3
