Red Leaf Caves
Do not fear my friend, all are welcome within my caves, no harm will come to you here and from here you could go everywhere, but beware, the paths are not marked and time moves diffrently here, not even humans will age within my realm but when you leave you may well find that time still passes in the Realm of Requiem, much faster than it seems.Used by experienced travelers from all walks of life, the Red Leaf Caves are an ever expanding labyrinth of tunnels and passages made entirely from the fallen leaves from autumns long past that form a spiderweb of connections between the realms of Na Aragen. It is said that so long as you know your way you can get anywhere in reality by traversing them but those that do not will forever be lost in the caves endless passages.- Kiernon, God of the West of Wind and lord of The Autumn Road
Geography
The Geography of The Autumn Road remains static no matter the realm it connects to. Every tunnel in the caves is made entirely of fallen leaves, The only exception to this rule is Narventor, the isolated city of wanderers ruled by none other than the Traveling God himself.
O.O This gives me ideas, what a unique and interesting way of using travel and "magic"
OOOO really I look forward to that!!
I'm thinking something to do with the "Branches of the Tree" and the Wayfarers magic. Hmmmmmmmm. But, please oh please you need to expand on this more! It is such a fascinating concept!
It's high on my list of articles in progress you can be sure. I was thinking of expanding it a bit just yesterday actually in the mean time though... "The Depths" use the same magic to allow aquatic travel between the realms, although it is a far more dangerous path than the caves, so if your really excited I'd check that article out in the mean time.
I can really see you expanding it through the depths! The whole interplanar Uncanny Valley feel of the caves has my interest the most! I think it really does fit well with how I've written teleportation, and I may or may not be rewriting part of a certain guild with the inspiration this has given me!
Really you have no idea how flattering that statement is. I never believe I deserve praise like that, honestly I still don't think I've expanded the caves much at all since you asked, I'll come back to them one day, hopefully soon, but as it is I'm not really sure what to add. All that aside though, I'm so thrilled that you're so excited about them! Seriously seeing your comments all over the place really do help motivate me more than you know!
Hey, sometimes I hyper focus on an author and these things happen. I think you have a ton of potential, and you need to know it! I think if you keep building up your world/characters it will only get better and better from here!
Wow, I don't really know what to say to that one! just saying you've hyper focused on me... me of all people! is incredibly flattering especially after following and poking around your writing for a little while now, (its really amazing by the way) and having another writer, particularly one I do not know, telling me I have "a ton of potential!?!" I honestly cannot articulate how that makes me feel. So, yeah, Thank you for that!!!
