Eluvemar has been dwelling in my head for about seven years, first scribbled throughout a chaotic stack of notebooks stuffed with concepts a few shattered moon, twin suns, warring kingdoms, and much an excessive amount of lore. It initially started as a homebrewed world for my D&D group, however after I joined World Anvil throughout 2025 Summer time Camp, it lastly began changing into one thing a lot greater.
At first, I used to be utterly overwhelmed by tips on how to flip all these scattered concepts into one thing coherent. Summer time Camp gave me permission to easily decide a nook of my world and write a number of sentences… no strain and no good plan required. These sentences grew to become articles, and earlier than I knew it I’d mapped 5 continents, constructed a pantheon, drafted 5 ages of historical past, and the planning of three novels.
The competitions and group have been an enormous a part of that journey too. Being chosen for the Greatest Newcomer Award was one thing I genuinely by no means anticipated. I’m extremely grateful to everybody who has learn my work, supported Eluvemar, and welcomed me into the group. Having this unusual world that had lived principally inside my head recognised like that gave me a lot confidence to maintain creating.
So, when you’re new to World Anvil and intimidated by the big world dwelling inside your head, my recommendation is straightforward: decide a spot, write two sentences, and let the momentum carry you. You by no means know the place these first two sentences may take you.
I haven’t been as lively these previous few months resulting from some well being points, however Eluvemar definitely hasn’t been forgotten. I’ve a stack of articles drafted and ready, and I’m hoping to be again to posting correctly quickly.
Further observe… Eluvemar has additionally grown past simply worldbuilding into The Starless Prophecy Trilogy, set through the Age of Shaping. The primary ebook I’m presently writing is known as Starfire. Which follows Sera, who was thrown from a world of ash into one the place the celebs nonetheless shine. She wakes with no identify, no household or mates, and solely a stranger’s ultimate phrase in her thoughts: survive. However one thing is coming that may unmake the sky, and Sera.. who has seen darkness earlier than.. should select whether or not to assist save a world that calls her mad, weak, and powerless… or let it burn.
And but once more, to everybody who has supported Eluvemar up to now, thanks. I hope you’ve loved exploring this world as a lot as I’ve loved creating it. There may be a lot extra nonetheless to come back… I promise.
A lot of love,
