🌟 Group spotlight
What’s the prettiest world on World Anvil? Effectively, as voted by the group, some of the stunning worlds is The Discipline of Tales – Àyrngáer, by zevchafer—this month’s group spotlight! Àyrngáer is a visible artwork and worldbuilding venture mixing fiction and non-fiction set in Europe between 1850 and 1950. Right here’s what zevchafer needed to say about it!
The Discipline of Tales – Ayrngaer is a visible story and artwork venture set in a semi-fictional world. It attracts inspiration from the tri-border space between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the previous Kingdoms of Prussia and Hanover, spanning the years 1850 to 1950. The venture’s foremost aim is to create a visible e book that includes paintings, tales, music, and animation.
For me, it’s essential to stability life with an (un?)wholesome quantity of creativity. As somebody whose thoughts by no means stops (over)considering, a inventive venture helps to maintain my thoughts busy with fascinating issues and prevents me from getting caught in thought loops with day by day life issues and struggles. I’ve had such initiatives for a very long time, and my life has at all times been higher with them than with out. The Discipline of Tales isn’t just a inventive venture; it’s additionally a psychological one. It blends reflections from life with fiction, artwork, poetry, and even random ideas. It makes me a greater individual.
World Anvil helps me to make sense of all these ideas and scraps by offering a framework to information the method. It affords fields, prompts, and tricks to construct a world that aligns with my storyline and might even be explored by others. It additionally permits me to be inventive, equivalent to incorporating artwork and making a (visually) fascinating web site that matches the artwork model of my story and the longer term visible e book.
This device could be very useful, however equally worthwhile is the World Anvil group. They provide ideas, insights, and an setting to enhance my world and venture. The World Anvil Awards are an incredible instance of workers and group efforts to encourage you to work in your venture, enhance it, and get suggestions (and even win an incredible prize). As a newbie worldbuilder, this provides me the possibility to be seen by the group, even when the world or venture is in its early levels. A inventive venture, or another venture in any respect, is at all times higher when you can share it with somebody, and World Anvil, the group, and WAWA assist me to attain that.
