I've been worldbuilding via drawings and writing for fun since I was a kid, but only began doing so in an organized manner nearly two decades ago.
Much of my work is based on notes in my native tongue, Icelandic, and I generally try not to deviate too much from the original names for different species, cultures, regions etc. when anglicizing them here, which includes preserving some of the Icelandic letters.
The original names are usually found in the footnotes; for pronunciation guide, check this out.
Also, I'm on the autism spectrum.
