Hi to all :] I have been waiting to get my first fable before posting here and now that I've acquired a beauty thanks to ilya, I would like to officially introduce
Rauru.
He already has a place in the world I have been developing alongside some of my friends (shoutout to hellevi, certified, and voltaire) to which I'll include some notes about below:
Gilverûn (the fables realm / world)
a large enchanted forest that consists of the kingdoms of spring, summer, fall, and winter.
aren is the kingdom of spring, ebbin is the kingdom of summer, valin is the kingdom of fall, and lastly kovarlin is the kingdom of winter.
for those that live in the other realm (literally just basic Earth), there is a dense forest (otherwise known as the lost woods) that protects Gilverûn. there is a very specific path that someone from the outside must take to enter Gilverûn, otherwise the forest will redirect you back to the beginning. no one has been able to breach the lost woods to date.
there is one being that serves as the guardian to Gilverûn. this guardian is able to feel the forest and any disruptions in its harmony. in a state of dormancy, this guardian takes on the form of a tree that sits in the middle of Gilverûn where each of the four kingdoms meet. though in a state of emergency, this guardian is able to take on any form (though taking on the form of a fable is most common).
each kingdom has a leadership figure. each leader is appointed to the council that gathers once per month to discuss any and all happenings in Gilverûn. the council will also gather for any emergencies.
With Rauru's introduction, he is being designated as the leader of Ebbin, which means that I get to start working on the fun parts of not only developing his personality and how he functions as a leader, but also figuring out all the fun dynamics on how Ebbin is ran and how the kingdom in itself looks, which I'm very excited to do.
At some point when enough has been fleshed out for the entire world, I'm hopefully going to be able to commission a map of the world so myself and others who have decided to join me can get a full visual on what we're working with. I'm looking forward to being able to hopefully share more with y'all down the line! ^^
