Mara Jaena's World Ember 2021 Pledge Document

I pledge to write 50,000 words of worldbuilding during December!

But truly I would be happy with at least 25,000 words of worldbuilding in Auriga for the month of December it all really depends on how much time I will be having this upcoming month and how much prep work I can do this month.

---

My Goals during World Ember 2021 are...

... to expand upon the lore of Auriga especially deities

... to build more of the cultures of the world

... to feature more cultures,ethnicities, and species

... to write a lot more character articles and arrange them all

... to flesh out the world and connect

... to finally work out and publish some homebrewed spells that we have fun with in our game

... to fill out a lot of the world and get it published
