I love! : folklore and fantasy!
I’m actually working on a fantasy novel that is predominantly inspired by folklore. A bunch of the cultures in the novel are loosely inspired by cultures in our world and the folklore of those areas <3 I love the various creatures especially, mythic beasts and peoples are very fascinating to read about!
The ichneumon is one of my favourites right now (it also features prominently in my favourite book series) - there’s just something awe-inspiring about giant mongoose creatures that are capable of taking down dragons. I’m also generally a huge fan of dragons, and developing the different dragon species for my world has been really fun!
My kals are all actually connected in with my fantasy world; there are humanoid versions of them running around in different areas <3 Solomon may even make an appearance as an NPC in the D&D campaign I’m running soon, if the party takes a specific route, so that’s exciting.
Some of the stories I’ve been reading recently include Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods from Chinese mythology, the myths associated with Crete, and all of the collected legends to do with King Arthur.
I could go on for hours about folklore and my various writing projects within the fantasy world I’ve built, so I will keep this relatively short :) thanks for reading!
