Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
I just updated my fantasy novel! (Still working on editing the 1 part cuz I’m not very convinced. Will probably edit this newest one more too)
This is the fantasy novel I’m writing! I’ve been developing this story since it first came to me when I was 14. Now, I’m making the effort to make this dream a reality.
If you want to read a fantasy story with diversity, conflicts, lots of characters, emotional growth, amongst other things, go take a look!
Because we’re on the 2 chapter, and things are about to kick off for real!
Me with my fantasy novel lmaooo
I’ve been wanting to be a writer since I was nine, when I sat down and wrote my first story (I made drawings for it and was very excited haha).
Since then, I’ve evolved a lot, having up to 24+ novel ideas in my mind and written down that I want to write.
And now I’m taking the decision of writing one of them for real, starting with the 3rd story idea I ever had, the first idea I ever had with real potential to become a great thing.
I’ve decided to take it seriously now, because I realize I’m not getting younger. If I don’t do it now, when the hell am I going to? Just fantasizing about getting published or noticed by an editor but not doing anything to make that come true, WON’T make your dreams come true magically, with 0 effort from you.
So, I’m currently writing the first version of my first fantasy novel Initiation, in wattpad, with some illustrations! After I’ve finished it on there, I’ll self-publish it on kindle and ibooks with extra parts and the real illustrations with color and extra deets and quality!
Culturally, Dwarves place great value on storytelling, visual arts, and personal expression. Carving, painting, and storytelling are integral parts of community life, and many important events are marked with communal gatherings and storytelling.
Tattoos and braiding are also deeply significant. Both sexes grow facial and head hair, and this hair is a source of pride. It's common to see Dwarves with elaborately braided hair adorned with beads and charms. These beads carry symbolic weight, marking major life achievements like completing a coming-of-age ritual, raising children, or achieving mastery in a craft.
They live in cold climates, and their physiology reflects this: they have thick fur and tend to be shorter and stockier than humans, conserving heat efficiently. Their homes are primarily subterranean, dug into earth and rock. However, they also build above-ground structures using wood and stone. Settlements focus on function and community over grandeur.
Their diet consists mostly of vegetation and insects, though they are capable of eating meat in times of scarcity. They practice agriculture and cultivate various crops, and also keep domesticated animals — some for companionship, others for practical use like warmth, protection, or pest control.
As marsupials, their reproductive process is quite different from humans. They give birth to underdeveloped joeys, which continue to grow in the parent’s pouch. Dwarves (like some kangaroos) have two uteruses- one embryo can be carried in the pouch, while another remains in delayed development in the second uterus. This allows for a staggered cycle of birth and care. Young Dwarves gradually gain independence and are raised communally, with extended family and neighbors contributing to their upbringing.
Their social roles are flexible and can be shaped by skill, age, or experience rather than rigid gender norms. Celebrations often involve communal meals, storytelling, singing, and symbolic rituals like bead-giving or new tattoos.
(More art will be out soon! Please ask questions if you have questions!)
Sorry for the lack of posting about world building stuff- I’ve been super busy working on trades, adopts and commissions! 😓
If elves were real, what do you think they’d descend from? Personally I find them being a subspecies to be a little bit boring. Please lmk!! I’m considering for my fantasy world
Here’s a little bit of info about the Dwarves from my fantasy world
