WorldEmber 2021
After Summercamp 2021 Swordtember and Mapvember 2021 I took on WorldEmber. I had been collecting new ideas for my world, as well as locations, characters and other details of my world I have not written out yet fully on WorldAnvil.

I wrote a bit about my goals for 2022 in my 2021 Annual Review, but after reading these articles I want to focus more on building out the flavor and tone of my world (or parts of it). I realize through reading other people's worlds that this flavor and tone can be in the seemingly small and insignificant things like foods and plants which are direclty tied to species and cultures. The big things like, how the universe came into being, how it works and what the influence of the divines in my world is, is also something that I want to write about in 2022. In that way I want to approach my world from the macro and the micro. In time, I would like to connect those extremes to eachother with more and more articles and information.

Scope
For WorldEmber I'll continue working on the region of Wolfsbrunn. I'll focus on a couple of the major cities such as Rornach and Morhan. I will probably rewrite the main articles of these cities and expand by creating articles for the districts, buildings and people within it. I'll also be looking to creating a bunch of items, potions, plants and creatures (even though statblocks don't count towards total word count).Goal
I'm shooting for the 10k at the very least, but honestly I want to see how far I can go with this. So I'm keeping my eye on that 50k as a stretch goal. I think a lot has to do with planning, making sure that I have enough ideas to write out and setting aside enough time for me to write. I'll also be looking to plan some days on which I'll be streaming my writing to get into the habit and share my process. I'll be drawing simple illustrations for some of the articles, but i'll mostly use existing illustrations and maps. When WorldEmber is over I'll look at illustrating more of my world.Prompts and Ideas
I've been collecting ideas on a digital whiteboard for WorldEmber articles. Below is an (incomplete) list of potential articles to be written during WorldEmber in no particular order.Reading Challenge
I took on the reading challenge to get inspiration from other writers and worldbuilders. It was really cool to see the ways people detail the various aspects of their world. I especially enjoyed to see the creativity and unique parts of people's worlds that were interwoven into the articles, making me want to read more and click through to other articles.I wrote a bit about my goals for 2022 in my 2021 Annual Review, but after reading these articles I want to focus more on building out the flavor and tone of my world (or parts of it).
