Summer Camp 2021 Pledge

Project and World

I will be working in my current world, Niorath, for this Summer Camp. My main project for the SC month will be to flesh out areas that my upcoming campaign session will likely take place in.

Focus Area

In my campaign, the Heretic's Sword, the players have come to a point that they leave the original setting of Terios to travel to other areas of the world. Due to the multiple options my players will be able to take, I will try to use the prompts to expand my world building in specific areas related to the story. To narrow it down further I have chosen to talk about the Northern Oneraga region and the people who live there.

Mizarin Jungle and Nekorians

The Mizarin Jungle is the home of many species such as the Nekorians, a catlike species, and the Mizarin Nightlights

North Oneraga Map

Niorath

Open full size

This map shows the world of Niorath and its various biomes and nations. The north and south pole areas are still rather unexplored because they are frequently covered in ice. Various species live there but they have not played any major role in the history of the planet. The other continents are much more populated and have seen their fair share of changing occupants.

Some areas of the world are quite different from the normal natural biomes. These are chaos areas, region affected by the dangerous Chaos Tempests who can corrupt the land beyond recognition. Many of these are the result of forbidden magic going very wrong and have often meant the end of the empires that performed the related rituals.

My Goal

For this summercamp I am aiming to complete all of the 31 prompts! I managed to reach 50k during Worldember and I aim to succeed in this endeavour as well. And to put it in the wise words of some other Anvilite:

Diamond or Die!

When to write

Most of my writing will be done in the weekends but I will take some time to finish up previous prompts or create smaller ones during the week.

Support

All the wonderful people who have already helped me in the past from the WA community on discord or twitch. I will be sure to help where I can as well and give some of your articles a read and a comment! (don't worry I won't read every entry this time!)

Updated layout

I recently started with reworking my layout a bit when I created a primer for my world. Now I have also created a test article to show the new layout and elements that I updated.

Article Release Plan

My release plan to create articles during summer camp is as follows:

1. Create first draft of articles with the ideas
2. Remove any spelling mistakes or strange sentences I can find
3. Improve layout and add images
4. Publish it
5. Add the article to my Summer Camp Overview page
6. Share it on the Discord
7. Reshare the updated Overview page or interesting new articles at least once a weekon my WA account or twitter
8. Share my most interesting one on one of the streams
