The Felas Chronicles

Hi there! You can call me Rye or Punk, and this is my writing project!

Felas is the name of the planet. The plotlines and stories were originally my focus, but I've since shifted my focus to the world itself. I'm allowing myself to get real autistic about it, going into any and every unnecessary detail about the world of Felas. I like to call the chronicles "worldbuilding exercises", excuses for me to flesh out certain aspects of the world like countries, cultures, histories, etc. What I'll do with the actual stories themselves, I'm not sure yet. I'm the type to constantly go back and revise my writing, none of these stories are actually Finished. I used to have the dream of becoming a published author, but I've since lost interest in trying to make a living of it. Especially in this economy. Yeesh. This is just my fun little hobby.

Some brief history, if you care: I've been a writer basically my whole life. I used notebooks to write books, the biggest one I started in 2010. A very Harry Potter-mixed-with-Percy Jackson YA novel, a girl finds out she's a wizard, hell ensues. I ended up making it a four-book series, and it became my life's passion. I still work on it, ocassionally; I've probably "reset" the entire thing two or three times now. Felas came about from me picking out some one-off stories i had and connecting them in the same world. For example, Valkovas's plotline came about from a story about a guy who acted as royal messenger to two opposing queens. One queen used fire magic, the other used ice magic, and the protagonist had wings that he used to travel across the land. This was the second story I'd let other people read, printing out sections at a time. I let my sophmore English teacher read my wizard series, and I let a friend read the Valkovas plot. And now I'm doing it here, on the Internet. :')

Here's Where to Start

On Felas, there are four main landmasses: Namrok, home of the nami; Kvolsum, home of the khokan; Ussiar, home of the erylai; and Danarsi, an archipelago, home of the yoia. A handful of nami countries are the driving force of "modernity". They colonized much of northwest Ussiar, and created a global trading network. The most powerful state is the Atrian (ah-tree-un) Empire, and it's one of the biggest constants between the plotlines.

"Modern day" Felas is a mix of the renaissance, bronze ages, and industrial revolution eras. Magic is basically electricity, powering spelltech. Spelltech is widely accepted, but in many places actually casting magic was restricted or outlawed entirely.
