ABC - Pep Talk to Self

Okay, I need to make
a serious fantasy world, without a parallel universe in which
the modern world exists and without gobs of random magic and
mythological creatures. Humans will make up the majority of this
world’s sentient – or rational – population.
Everything will be handled seriously and reverently, and the chapters
will be at least three pages each. It will obviously resemble a
medieval world, and it is questionable whether there will be such
advanced technology as guns.

There are still two
other fantasy worlds, however, which I am still using when writing
novels. They are bulleted below.

•
Otherworld

•
Isle of the Little Folk

Briefly, the
Otherworld is a parallel universe inhabited by miniature creatures,
and the Isle of the Little Folk is similar, except that it is less
serious and exists in our universe.

As in other stories
of mine, the book will revolve around war and strife. But the world
itself must be created before the story. I insist on having chariots
ridden by the nobility and pulled by stags or elks.

Notes - Andalor (Ornul, Westland, and Mifrildain)

Westland

The
people of Westland, called the Westfolk, are at war with Ornul to the
southeast. They are a proud race, noble and powerful; their men stand
at average height and are skilled with their ash longbows. The common
garb in the cold western climate is a tunic, cloak, scarf, and
trousers. The nobility – princes and their knights – ride
reindeer into battle, armored with mantles around their necks and
shoulders, sleeves, and trouser legs of ring mail. They wield lances
and carry roughly triangular, wooden shields.
