I first wanna thank everyone for their great support in my recent disarray.
Thank you all.
Now to jump right into it. For over 4 years, I’ve been writing a book called: “The Darkness Core”
it’s a fantasy story but different than what you are used to; there is no orcs, no elves, no dragons or directly magic.
I’ve set up since the start of creating it that I wanted to be original as I possibly could. Not dragging the redundancies you read or see anytime you come in contact with the genre fantasy.
It started as a movie project between me and a friend and then died after many times to revive it. Then I met my love and I wanted to finish the story for her. I wrote and added ideas and concepts for a looong time but recently, I was contacted by a company who heard about the idea and wanted to animate it into a movie.
Problem was that neither the world nor the story was even remotely in place.
So they lost interest after awhile and told me to contact them when the book was done.
Now that the person I loved for many years took farewell, I find myself in a giant abyss but I feel the need to finish the story and the world for her sake, and to keep myself from going crazy.And yes the book is going to be published worldwide.
The world in the book is called Novokee and is as large as three of our own Earth. Onto the world are three races that is simply the movers and the shakers. Sure there are many other races, but these three are the ones that stands out for many reasons;
The Varanmà (Most human like)
The Varanmà are simply what you would call human, they are a race that looks like humans and would behave like humans. They differ within language, religion\philosophy, calendar and ect.
I’m trying to make them feel human but change everything else. The Varanmà is a race gone through many conflicts and suffered a civil war that broke the race from unity into several Clans. Only their largest city survived the war and is considered by all Varanmà to be the capital of their race. Within Varanmà is what you would be close to call a king; Amon is the status and name given to the male rulers and Amus for the female. Their status is referred to as Tak: “master”, so males it would be Tak-Amon and female, Tak-Amus.
The current ruling Tak, is trying to unite the race into one civilization instead of being a spread one.
Here is a picture of Teraadoh, one of the main characters from the Varanmà side.
The Emìanoral (Aka Emìan)
Considered the most potent and pious of all races are the Emìanorals. (or simply referred to as Emìans.)
This race was notorious for their bloodthirst and enslaving the Varanmà, until one them, Maal’cain; brought them into peace and philosophy, by introducing them to their godess Cykeela whom they talked with through a massive tree called Juugon. The race created an order of warriors and masters of the Tam’ay power which was revered even by enemies: The Orochnorian order.
The Emìanorals are creatures that by age turn into stone. Their skin is hard as rock and upon them are crystals that exude an energy called the Korem. The crystals which exudes the purest and is the source of their power is called Tam’ay and is at their shoulders. Through them they use it to manipulate other energy based things such as fire and water but to avoid the whole “magic” kinda thing it is more elaborated than that.
Here is a picture of an Emìan; Zeledon which is a main character of the story
The Carummerion (no picture of their icon or profile yet)
Out of all the races, the Carummerion (which is the race I got my nickname from) put their place in the world through their ingenuity. Masters of technology and most peaceful of all races, all their creations are built to provide and help and through their religion they believe in not doing harm. They see natural death as a reward and consider administration of death highly forbidden. Due to the fact that the other races been reverse engineering their creations into weapons, the Carummerions started to hide away into their secret city: Dygonel and no longer provided technologies to the other races. It’s been so long since they last showed themselves that the other races started to believe their were all dead. But recent events proved them to be alive but changed as they recently started to attack the Varanmà.
I spent most time with this race than all the others as it was hard to imagine how they would look like, their religion, language and history.
Hopefully, many of you will be interested in reading the book and hearing more about it. When it is published, I can’t tell as I am still writing it. But I am very far into the book and the majority of languages, philosophies and races are done. The artwork is done by Sara Forlenza and the entire book will have lots of artwork.
The languages, I’ve created myself and a guy who works as a linguist is making sure that I follow all the rules.
Anyway, that’s what I want to share for now. I hope you enjoyed some of it.
