So, in my world.

Wood elves religion means every living thing has a soul. So, they can't kill anything.

Which they county plants and fruit as. Picking it would count as killing. However they are allowed to eat something which died by natural forces. So, if wind knocked an apple off a tree or gravity did they can eat it

However, the elves found a loophole. Because they are allowed to hurt living creatures, and technically hitting a tree enough time, will losen the apples. However is gravity which makes them fall.

So, to get food, they have to go out and basically hit a tree with a stick.

I want to know i that loophole works or am i kind of pulling it a little.

The Dravuvar are a cross breed Between a Human and a dwarf, no one documented where they originated or who the originated from but records suggest the ancestors of House Whalewind who were the cause of this cross breeding

Similar to Elvuvar, Dravuvar life half of the usual lifespan of the original species, living 250 years rather than the dwarfs usual 500 years.

While rare nowadays, one could come across some working as either blacksmiths, Merchants, or Wanderers in major cities and towns.

This isn't a kingdom where gods rule through priests. It isn't ruled by a 'god-king' who is a being with god-like powers. It is a nation ruled by an actual, honest to goodness, God. Or should I say, goddess.

This goddess is in a physical mortal form and rules over a kingdom as a monarch would. She is immortal and she is recognized as a ruler. It is also known she is a god.

A little side-note: She is the patron god of a specific species of dragon-like creatures, who are actually the subjects she rules over.

So, how would having a literal god ruling as a queen affect the government.

Am Anfang, bevor die Welt Gestalt annahm oder die Zeit eine Stimme hatte, gab es nur die Endlose Sonne und die Abgründige Nacht.

Aus der hohen, ungezähmten Strahlkraft der Endlosen Sonne entsprangen die Lumin, geboren aus reiner Wärme, Klarheit und unnachgiebiger Erleuchtung. Sie bauten Städte aus gesponnenem Glas und weißem Stein auf den höchsten Gipfeln, wo kein Schatten Wurzeln schlagen konnte. Ihre Worte waren Licht, ihre Gedanken waren strukturiert, und sie glaubten, dass, um der Existenz Ordnung zu verleihen, alles unter einem ewigen, unblinzelnden Glanz offengelegt werden müsse.

Tief unter der Welt, in der riesigen Stille der unterirdischen Gräben, lebten die Umbrals. Geformt aus dem stillen Nebel und der kühlen Stille der Abgründigen Nacht, waren die Umbrals Wesen mit weichen Konturen, lautloser Bewegung und tiefer Reflexion. Wo die Lumin Offenbarung brachten, brachten die Umbrals Ruhe. Sie wussten, dass sich im Dunkeln Samen spalteten, um zu wachsen, Geheimnisse einen sicheren Hafen fanden und müde Augen endlich ruhten.

Jahrhundertelang existierten die beiden Völker in völliger Unkenntnis voneinander, getrennt durch Meilen von Stein. Doch als die Lumin ihre Türme höher bauten, riss ihr Gewicht die Erdkruste auf. Licht strömte in die tiefen Höhlen und verbrannte die empfindlichen Augen der Umbrals und versengte ihre unterirdischen Gärten.

In ihrer Wut stürmten die Umbrals nach oben und entfesselten gewaltige Wellen von Urnebel, um die sengenden Feuer der Glasstadt zu ersticken. Der erste Krieg wurde nicht mit Stahl geführt, sondern mit Präsenz: sengende Brillanz prallte auf blendende Dunkelheit. Wo die beiden Kräfte aufeinandertrafen, siegte jedoch keine von beiden.

Stattdessen ereignete sich ein seltsames Phänomen.

Als sich das blendende Licht mit dem undurchdringlichen Schatten vermischte, wurde es weicher. Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte gab es Dämmerung und Morgengrauen. Es gab kühle Brisen, die den Duft blühender Nachtblumen trugen, und warmes goldenes Licht, das nicht brannte. In der mittleren Sphäre – der Zwielichtzone, in der sich Licht und Schatten verflochten – begannen die ersten Bäume mit tiefen Wurzeln und üppigen Blättern zu wachsen.

Erkennend, dass absolutes Licht nur harte Sterilität und absolute Dunkelheit nur kalte Isolation brachte, schmiedeten die hohen Ältesten der Lumin und die tiefen Denker der Umbrals die Balance-Gilde.

Sie legten den Rhythmus der Welt fest: Die Lumin würden die Oberhand behalten, während die Sonne aufging, und lenkten Aktion, Schöpfung und Vision, während die Umbrals hervortraten, als die Sonne unterging, und Träume, Heilung und stille Introspektion brachten. Gemeinsam verstanden sie, dass Licht den Weg offenbart, aber die Dunkelheit der Sicht Tiefe verleiht.

So my Magic system is about manipulating a substance called Vita, which is both my settings equivalent of ones Lifeforce and Soul aswell as the Lifestream. All three Forms of Vitamancy use 4 Steps to make their Powers Happen with all three focusing on a different step. The Steps are as Follows:

1.Intent

The emotional, spontainous step, the spark that Sets the Others into Motion. This is Most importent to perform Magic, as that practice is about linking ones own Vita to the one permeating Everthing around the mage. If Performed incorrectly, this step May lead to terrible consequences. At best, you'll Be knocked unconscios, your brain overloading with the amount of information contained in the Lifestream. At worst, the Lifestream instead links itself to the Mage, ripping Out their still conscious Soul and integrating them Back into the Cycle of Rebirth.

2.Vision

Vision is the step of reason and Imagination. It's Most importent to Scribes, as their craft can do many Things that Magic can but requires intense Focus and Personal sacrifice, usualy in the Form of blood have a "Pigment" with which they can Draw glyphs. Their craft requires the practicioner to "tether" a concept, Action and effect to a specific glyph. For example, when a Scribe wants to shoot a fire ball, they have to find a suitable canvas, let's Take a gauntlet for this example, they then have to perfectly Imagine the gauntlet performing a certain Trigger Action, let's Say the fist must Be balled Up. They then connect this Action and the wanted Effect of Shooting a Fireball to a glyph, let's Go with a triangle. If completed correctly, the Last step, the Action, is to apply that triangle on the gauntlet. This must Be done using your own Vita, usualy by drawing the glyph with blood.

3.Action

Action is... Pretty much exactly what It Sounds Like. It's the physical Labor required to Bring about an Effect. This is Most importent to alchemy, as that crafts Power comes from a Combination of using Vita for technological puposes aswell as a Power called Attunement, a Mastery of ones own, internal Vita, enhanceing the Body in various ways, Like increased Speed, Strength, Leflexes, Lifespan, Regeneration and intricate Control of the Attuned's biology.

4.Effect

The End Goal. All Things aim to have an effect on the world around them, so It Marks the final Destination of all Forms of Vitamancy.

Context about it: it first started as a generic shonen to make the reader purposely think of it as a common battle novel with little story, but after a few chapters the reader finds out it's actually a cosmic horror and everything happens because the embodiment of life wanted to understand what would happen if certain events were forcedly put in.

The universe exists within 5 fundamental pillars: space, life, time, antimatter and death. Each one needs a physical living being to act through, as a pact to reduce their power.

In this world, the main character and his brother live in an archipelago called Hope, with 5 islands and one hidden flying monastery island above the clouds.

The islands are called:

Di'Oro, Moistrock, Deena, Yukikaze, Trial Island and Dense Fog.

Currently, the world is run by 5 elders in the Magic Council. (Pretty generic name, ik)

All of them mixed their own blood in a ritual to keep "pure", sharing a surname they created: "Von"

Magic in this world is called "Spiritual Strength". Everyone was born with it after an incident which took down the monastery for the first time, breaking the pact the monks made to keep magic away from humanity, along with some other creatures, such as golems, trolls, dragons.

Elves, dwarves, orcs and other humanoid beings lived hidden away, but still, after mixing with humanity, were too oppressed, as the Council saw miscegenation as a blasphemy.

"Errant demons" are a special case, dominating Spiritual Strength easily, better than other species, which caused envy on the Council, as they declared errant demons a predatory race that fed on humans. (They did fed on humans in some cases tho.)

Alchemy is also a thing in this world, however, when you use it, your Spiritual Strength slowly fades, as science and magic are incompatible.

As the Council declared a war against demons, the father of Kishire (the main character), Majin, fought in the war as a Hunter Sorcerer, even as an undercover demon. He was found in his demon armor, supposedly pierced by another sorcerer, currently situation is unknown. Same goes for his mother, Gaia.

Speaking of Gaia, throughout the years, humanity still want through many plagues. However, they adapted, as Spiritual Strength is a thing that comes from the deepest wishes of your heart. You wish to be cured and be stronger? Done, that'll be it. The strongest of wills created the "Greek Blood", a superior kind of human who naturally has talent and enhanced habilities. This condition is hereditary and the ones who have it occasionally have their names choosen by the Council, with the intentions to be "marked". Some manage to hide it, some don't...

As for weapons, we have "relics". Relics are mostly ANY object with a gem in the middle that holds an artificial soul. Relics can be: katanas, hammers, balls, chains (MC weapon is a chained dagger)

Also, a few examples: a baseball bat that steals Spiritual Strength, yoyo that causes earthquakes, emerald that acts like a construct creator, tomes, short sword that always hit.

Also, mythical relics do exist and they have free will.

Such as: Stairway to Heaven, a pair of golden bracelets that can cast sun beams, for example.

Also, coming back to the pillars, they are:

Saturno: pillar of life & souls

Luomi: pillar of space & creation (of matter)

Kumoa: pillar of antimatter

Sankai: pillar of time

Azrael: pillar of death

They all need a "Vessel" to act directly in any world. A vessel is any living physical being. Currently, only Saturno has one, as the previous vessels of other pillars have turned their backs on them.

I think that's enough context, sorry for the long text. Feel free to ask me anything.

Season 1: The Beginning of the Legacy

Chapter 8 — The Limits of Power

The morning breeze swept across the mountains as Prince, Maria, and Veylen gathered at the training ground.

After yesterday's practical exercise beyond the training ground, the three children were eager to discover what Master O had prepared for them next.

Prince arrived carrying his wooden sword, swinging it casually over his shoulder.

"I hope today's lesson is more challenging than yesterday's."

Maria glanced at him. "You nearly slipped on a rock yesterday."

"That was one time!"

"Twice," Veylen corrected.

Prince turned toward him in disbelief. "You're supposed to be on my side!"

"I'm on the side of the truth."

Before Prince could argue, Master O emerged from the base with his staff.

"You're all in a lively mood this morning."

"We're ready for today's lesson!" Prince declared.

"Good. Put your sword away, because today we're discussing something more important than how hard you can strike."

Prince reluctantly placed his wooden sword beside the training equipment.

Master O walked toward the center of the clearing.

"Tell me, what do you think happens when someone gains power they cannot control?"

"They might hurt themselves," Maria answered.

"They might hurt other people," Veylen added.

Prince thought for a moment. "Or they might waste their power by using it at the wrong time."

Master O nodded.

"All three answers are correct. Power is useful, but power without control can become a weakness."

He pointed toward three wooden targets arranged at different distances.

"Today, I want each of you to complete a simple exercise. Your goal is to strike your assigned target without disturbing the others."

Prince smiled confidently.

"That sounds easy."

Master O gave him a knowing look.

"Then you shouldn't have any trouble following the instructions."

Prince went first.

He stood several steps away from his target, gripping a small training weapon. He studied the distance, adjusted his stance, and prepared to strike.

Then he swung.

The wooden weapon struck the target, but the force sent it tumbling sideways into another target.

Prince stared at the result.

"That wasn't supposed to happen."

"What happened?" Maria asked.

"I hit the target."

"You also knocked over the other one."

"But I hit the target!"

Master O approached him.

"You focused entirely on striking your target. You didn't consider how much force you needed or what might happen afterward."

Prince frowned.

"So I should use less strength?"

"Not necessarily. You should use the amount of strength the situation requires."

Prince looked at the targets again.

He returned to his starting position and tried once more.

This time, he adjusted his stance and controlled his movement. His strike landed cleanly, and the target remained in place.

He turned toward Master O.

"Better?"

"Much better."

Prince smiled, satisfied with his progress.

Maria was next.

Her exercise required her to move a small wooden block from one marked position to another without disturbing the objects surrounding it.

She studied the arrangement carefully before beginning.

At first, she moved the block slowly, keeping it balanced as she guided it across the ground.

However, when she tried to move it faster, the block shifted sideways and knocked against another object.

Maria immediately stopped.

"I moved too quickly."

"Why do you think that happened?" Master O asked.

"I concentrated on reaching the destination instead of paying attention to the block's movement."

"Exactly. Speed is useful, but precision matters just as much."

Maria took a breath and tried again.

She focused on the block's position, making small adjustments instead of forcing it toward the destination.

This time, she completed the exercise successfully.

Master O nodded.

"Remember that patience doesn't mean doing nothing. Sometimes, it means making the right adjustment at the right moment."

Maria carefully returned the block to its original position.

"I understand."

Finally, it was Veylen's turn.

Master O placed several small markers around the training ground and instructed him to move between them using his natural agility and quick movements.

Veylen studied the arrangement.

"I need to reach every marker without losing my balance or colliding with anything."

"Correct," Master O replied. "Begin when you're ready."

Veylen moved toward the first marker, then changed direction toward the second.

His movements were cautious and controlled. He reached the third marker successfully, but hesitated when he noticed how quickly the remaining route turned around a large rock.

He stopped to reconsider his approach.

"You can take your time," Master O reminded him.

Veylen changed his route, choosing a wider turn instead of attempting a sharp maneuver.

He completed the remaining markers without difficulty.

When he returned, Prince gave him a thumbs-up.

"Nice work!"

Veylen smiled.

"I thought rushing would make me faster, but I would've made a mistake if I'd forced that turn."

Master O nodded.

"Knowing your limits is not the same as being weak. It allows you to understand what you can do safely and what you still need to improve."

---

After all three exercises were complete, Master O gathered the children together.

"You each approached your challenges differently. Prince relied on force, Maria concentrated on precision, and Veylen took time to consider his movements."

Prince folded his arms.

"Are you saying none of us did everything perfectly?"

"I'm saying that each of you has strengths, and each of you has something to learn."

Maria looked at the targets.

"Then we need to understand not only what we can do, but also when and how to do it."

"Precisely," Master O replied.

Veylen looked toward the mountains beyond the training ground.

"Will there be situations where controlling our abilities isn't enough?"

"There will always be challenges that require more than one skill," Master O said. "Sometimes, you will need strength. Sometimes, patience. And sometimes, the wisest decision will be to step back and reconsider."

Prince picked up his wooden sword.

"Then I'll keep training until I can control every movement."

"And I'll keep practicing until I can make better decisions," Maria added.

Veylen nodded.

"I'll work on trusting my judgment without hesitating too much."

Master O smiled at their determination.

"Good. But don't mistake today's lesson for the end of your training. Understanding a principle is only the beginning. Applying it consistently takes practice."

Prince raised his sword.

"Then let's practice!"

Maria laughed. "You really can't wait, can you?"

"Not when there's something new to learn!"

Veylen shook his head, smiling.

Master O watched them return to their exercises.

The children were still inexperienced, but they were beginning to recognize that becoming stronger required more than improving their physical abilities. They needed discipline, judgment, and the willingness to learn from their mistakes.

Those qualities would become increasingly important as their world grew larger beyond the mountains.

For now, their training continued under Master O's watchful eye.

And each day brought them another step closer to understanding the true limits of their abilities.

End of Chapter 8.

Elvuvar, named by Aeltharion themselves through Dravialan the elder, are said to be a cross-brees of Humans and elves, originating from the royal Greyhall line 14,998 BCR (before the common renewal) or known back then as the 160th century after the dawn of the sun.

The first ever Elvuvar was named Laina Greyhall, Daughter of Aelwen and Vyncent Greyhall 2 years after the Marrick Migration.

Unlike elves, Elvuvar live half the usual lifespan of a elf (10,000 years), only living to about 5,000 years old, their ears are still pointed but slightly rounded at the brims.

To this day, an Elvuvar Branch in the royal family still stands as a grand pillar for the creation of the kingdom of the griffon.

(Idea for acorn butter came from u/Bignholy)

Very good. Just popping in to repost this!

Please ask questions or give feedback if you have any, id love to hear what you have to say

Quick Description

Thardorians are the humanoid ancient species that once lived in Thardoris (orig. Thardoria from Tharir "Thar" - the first, ancient; "Doria" ‐ homeland) – The homeland of the ancient. They are known for their superior physical strength and their runic smithery - excellent weapon blacksmiths. Once a thriving civilization was wiped out after an internal war.

Appearance

Physically bigger and stronger, Thardorians have naturally an athletic build that can outperform even the strongest human, orc, elf or titan. Some influential individuals have distinctive runic symbols on their bodies: some have them since birth, others gain it after they earn them. Runes not only determine the Thardorian's personality, they also give them unnatural characteristics - special abilities or magical power. However, not all runes carry the goodness. There are signs that mark them as evil, lying, or dangerous.

Other than that, their bodies are very humanoid since they have two hands, two legs, and males have different appearance than females do.

Language

Tharir is the language spoken by Thardorians. I have been working on the language for the past few months and you can see examples of the script and writing.

CONCLUSION

This is a still ongoing project I have dedicated myself to work on. I hope you guys like it, and I hope it won't be taken down for posting exposed anatomy of fictional characters.

And PLEASE don't be too harsh when commenting about plot and design 😭🙏

I have nothing but a laptop and I drew it with a touchpad, I couldn't focus on making more details since my method of drawing is quite annoying and uncomfortable.

Thank you for understanding!
