Hi everyone, there's this novel that I've been planning for a while, which I've got quite excited about. This will be my first novel if I manage to knuckle down and do it! I'd hugely appreciate input on my ideas and what I could improve on!
This story will probably be called Legend of the Riverwalker.
History:
I'll try to make this as simple as I can. This will be an high fantasy, set on a made up world called Arkania within a continent I have called the Ascended Kingdoms. Basically, in the Ascended Kingdoms there live the Sancturii. A race who thousands of years ago crossed from another world into Arkania, and bumped into the Elementals, who were living in the Ascended Kingdoms and the surrounding lands. The Sancturii and the other races that they arrived with, (Known collectively as the Old Colonies.) overthrew the Elementals. The luckiest of the Elementals managed to escape. But the majority of them were enslaved by the Old Colonies and chained in other dimensions. Eventually the Old Colonies learnt to harness the awesome magic of the Elementals. Those who succeeded in this became the first Lightcallers. Powerful sorcerers who bind Elementals to their will.
It was a couple of millennia later until the Arturians crossed the sea from West Arkania, and settled in the Ascended Kingdoms. One thing you have to understand is that West Arkania was a totally different world. Completely separate from the lands of the Elementals. The Arturians had previously ruled a great empire, known as Arturax,that had governed most of the lands in the West. However, the empire had recently collapsed, and the Arturians were forced to flee to the Ascended Kingdoms. They were welcomed by the Sancturii who consider everyone equal, and they made a good life there.
Story:
Decades later, the Arturians are used to their new home now. They live in a small section of land known as the Vale of Artura. There lives an Arturian, ranger, mercenary, warrior, and tracker named Terian Riverwalker. Terian has become famous out the Vale for his success in his tasks that he is hired for, and the strange legend that he destroyed an entire lair of Kemp^e, (Weird ogre creatures.) when he was fifteen. Then Terian is hired by the Prince Kuros of the Vale, to rescue Kuros' betrothed, (Lady Sanna of Stormtide city.) from a malevolent Lightcaller named Morkus, who is the the Prince's uncle, who was banished after attempting to take the throne from his brother, 'the mad king Hrathim.' On this mission Terian is accompanied by his sombre older brother. The lightcaller, Saardric Stormcaller, but he draws ever closer to discovering a plot that threatens the Vale itself.
So that's it! Does it sound good? Bad? Please give me some feedback it would be much appreciated!
