I'm a Conservative dreamer, writer, creator of characters, and an introvert.   Expanding from my own personal website, I am now using WorldAnvil to post my medieval fantasy characters and stories, which are mainly for already existing games and franchises (Neverwinter / D&D, LOTRO, and possibly Skyrim / The Elder Scrolls). But the initial reason I created an account on here was to start organizing and structuring my own original fantasy universe. To really utilize a site and community intentially dedicated to worldbuilding.   It will be very slow-going I'm sure. Especially because I'm too occupied with creating characters and their lives and stories. And I'm having too much fun with all the sections and features on the character profiles on here.   But I do hope to really become inspired to work on my own world. A lot of it is probably beyond my knowledge and scope of how things work (governments, kingdoms, militaries, etc), but I will try to do what I can and figure things out along the way. There's definitely aspects that are easier and that I enjoy working on more than others (characters, relationships, dialogue, lands, locations, food, items). I've always been a very character-driven (obsessed) writer, and prone to more slice of life kind of stuff.   For several years my own original characters and stories had been set in real world contemporary Earth. Stories that revolve around the lives of Conservative people – preppers, patriots, and country folk – and stories that revolve around the lives of paranormal investigators and the things that haunt them. Eventually those two genres really started to converge and overlap one another.   However, a big part of why I've gotten into medieval fantasy is to get away from our current society and modern age, to be in a different world and to expand beyond everyday life and journey into more epic, adventurous plots. It's a genre with themes I've always loved but for some reason I didn't realize it.   Though fantasy is a popular and beloved genre for many people, it’s taken me a long time to get into it and really see its appeal. My love for worldbuilding has been a big driving factor. I now understand the sheer enjoyment of actually creating lore and lands, not just characters and plots but an entire world right from your imagination. I also appreciate the traditional, old world charm of the medieval age, specifically the architecture, weapons, clothes, and natural beauty. What probably draws me more to it than anything, however, are the epic, romanticized themes of action, adventure, love, chivalry, righteous war, and heroism. Especially as an escape from our increasingly ugly, modernized, urbanized, warped, cowardly and degenerate world.   So if you're like-minded, like-hearted, and share my values, you might be interested in my characters and my work. My goal is to create a more traditional, down to earth type of fantasy world. And my characters and stories in general are proudly not pervaded or tainted by the Leftist woke circus.

08:56 pm - 29.06.2024

So close to Thorin's Gate and the homesteads...can almost feel the warmth of the hearth.

08:53 pm - 29.06.2024

A cold, gray evening in the Vale of Thrain and yet more beautiful than ever.

08:48 pm - 29.06.2024

Sunrise in the Vale of Thrain...you don't get much more glorious than that.

08:27 pm - 29.06.2024

Haudh Lin...finally feeling truly close to home. That brisk air...the sound of wind and loons...the scent of frost and sight of snow again...the surrounding spruces, firs and pines...and mountains...the Blue Mountains.

06:30 pm - 28.06.2024

04:50 pm - 28.06.2024

A peaceful evening camping in the Yondershire.

04:09 pm - 28.06.2024

Passing through Rushock Bog. Always good to visit friends in Needlehole. Might have a drink or two.

03:20 pm - 27.06.2024

[youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4t3A8sVY8Q]

03:16 pm - 27.06.2024

Back on the road and camping again soon, but for now a nice meal and room at the Prancing Pony in Bree.

04:16 am - 27.06.2024

04:13 am - 27.06.2024

Riding back through the Lone-lands. Not a bad evening. Only had to shoot a few Crabain.

03:08 pm - 25.06.2024

A rather content-looking High-moor Badger. Must be enjoying this weather too.

04:34 pm - 24.06.2024

Bowl of Oatmeal, just a simple breakfast while enjoying the morning weather and views on the High Moor.

04:26 pm - 24.06.2024

Last sunrise in the Misty Mountains for a while. Ready to finally leave.

06:54 pm - 23.06.2024

Another calm night. A nice way to end a long trek through one of the coldest, most treacherous places in Middle-earth.

06:07 pm - 23.06.2024

Still making quick progress as a cloudy evening sets in.

03:52 pm - 23.06.2024

Clear weather making traveling a lot faster and easier.

03:48 pm - 23.06.2024

A strong but short-lived storm, and a beautiful morning to start making the journey home.

02:14 pm - 23.06.2024

Happy to be inside and filling up on Tasty Rations at Thorgest's Haven. A decent, warm place to wait out the storm.

02:47 pm - 22.06.2024

Made it to Hrimbarg, and in just enough time. There's no traveling in this.

09:26 pm - 20.06.2024

Losing visibility...can't even see the mountains anymore.

06:45 pm - 19.06.2024

A race to the outpost and not getting swallowed up in that dense fog. More snow will follow with it.

06:43 pm - 19.06.2024

A much thicker fog is rolling in...

04:12 pm - 19.06.2024

Another Longhorn. But no time for hunting. Got to keep moving and stay ahead of the storm.

03:54 am - 19.06.2024

A quick stop for some energy-fueling snacks. Bad weather looks to be moving in.

03:48 am - 19.06.2024

Stumbled upon a Reindeer browsing.

03:24 am - 19.06.2024

A night of howling winds and howling Wargs in the distance, but relatively calm and uneventful. No vengeful attacks to wake up to...just a cold sunrise and a breakfast of champions.

02:35 am - 19.06.2024

Camping in one of the most dangerous areas in the Misty Mountains...it'll be a long night.

05:56 pm - 18.06.2024

Never feel bad looting Goblins...they certainly don't feel bad killing and looting you.

03:39 am - 18.06.2024

Durin's Beard, they always screech like maniacs! Time to take care of business. Where there's one Goblin, there's more. A lot more.

12:00 am - 18.06.2024

Fresh blood and lots of it...a recent kill.

10:22 pm - 17.06.2024

A hearty meal for the harsher days ahead...venison and potato stew.

10:15 pm - 17.06.2024

A humbling sight...you never lose your awe for Mammoths.

02:23 pm - 13.06.2024

Good Longhorn hunting on the slopes. Made a dinner of venison and pine nuts.

02:11 pm - 13.06.2024

About to descend the Eastern Slopes...but first an encounter with this bold little Winter Fox. Tossed him some meat scraps.

03:14 pm - 08.06.2024

Pemmican to go.

04:45 am - 08.06.2024

Re-stocking up on rations and supplies for the trail.

04:44 am - 08.06.2024

A dry ration breakfast at Vindurhal. Dried fruit and sausages.

02:52 am - 05.06.2024

Passing through Cirith Daur.

07:31 pm - 04.06.2024

Headed up Northern High Pass.

07:01 pm - 04.06.2024

Following the tracks up the trail...

06:59 pm - 04.06.2024

Leaving Bruinen Source East.

06:57 pm - 04.06.2024

Good old hot coffee to start the day...a restless night after being jumped by three Wargs. They attacked the wrong Dwarf.

12:55 pm - 01.06.2024

A suspiciously still evening in Whitcleft...finishing off the bear meat.

09:10 pm - 31.05.2024

A cunning Mountain Warg watches...no doubt there will be more in Bruinen Source East. Best to be on alert.

12:02 am - 31.05.2024

Sunrise after a less freezing night. This new Huge Snow-bear pelt makes the warmest bedroll, and blanket!

02:37 pm - 30.05.2024

Sharing a meal at High Crag Camp. Bear meat with blueberries.

10:27 pm - 29.05.2024

A threatening Huge Snow-bear in the High Crag. Looks about to attack!

07:11 pm - 29.05.2024

A cold, clear night.

03:21 am - 24.05.2024

Greeted by a curious snowy Lynx while entering the Western Bruinen Source.

11:10 pm - 23.05.2024

Biscuits on the High Moor.

Fresh caught fish in Midgewater Pass.
