🌟 Neighborhood spotlight
This month, we’re visiting the fields of Dromaria to take a look at the Klaxon Thresher, an unlimited assemble that tends to the fields and protects them fiercely. The article additionally received the Pillars of Progress Award within the fifth Worldbuilding Awards. Try the Klaxon Thresher!
Dromaria is developed by Matunas and Stonehomie, and right here’s what Matunas needed to say about this text:
The Klaxon Thresher is a minor little bit of world lore that ended up going a good distance. Folks crave the small particulars that make a world stand out and are available to life. We love the thresher not a lot for what it’s, and even its cool artwork by Yury Nikifarau, however for what it meant to the group. Folks actually responded to this assemble in an enthusiastic manner, and at first we have been type of surprised as a result of it’s the smallest piece of Dromaria.
Profitable the Pillar of Progress award was not simply gratification, however a realization that you must take note of each element in your worldbuilding. Positive, I may magic up some crops and warding spells, however isn’t it extra enjoyable to have badass combines rampaging by your crops, defending them in opposition to monsters particularly crafted to feed on these fields? Now the sector turns into an journey all its personal.
My recommendation to future submitters and award hopefuls is that World Anvil is an accepting and artistic group, so don’t be afraid to share what you’ve made. You may get suggestions; it’s possible going to be optimistic, and hell, perhaps you’ll even win one thing.
