Atheryin: A Continuation of WFU
THE TIME IS NOW!
For those who don't know, WFU is/was a project dedicated to creating an entirely new lore world from scratch. It does not have any involvement with ES. Our wiki of all our lore and information is here: http://wfuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Weasel ... verse_Wiki

Want to Contribute?
If you'd like to contribute, go to this wiki page and read up. First you'll have to make an account on the wiki and be approved by a Wiki Moderator.
If you're making absolutely unfixably terrible lore or are picking fights in the project, then you may be kicked from the project.

Schedule: (Stages 1 - 6)
Genre Poll: February 28th -> March 5th
Pantheon/Creationism discussion: March 5th -> March 10th
World Development and Race construction: March 10th -> Ongoing*
History, Racial interactions, Defining Religion: March 21st -> TBA
Current Events and Conflicts: TBA
Finished Work and Detailing Lore: TBA
*Depending on how quickly we go or the number of submissions, the idea is to get between 8 - 12 civilizations and brainstorm the local fauna, flora, and geographical information.

Stage 1 Complete:
The poll is closed and the genre is final! Fantasy has won and will help define our little piece of worldscape, so get on your spiky helms and whip out your oversized weapon of choice.
But don't think this means we're stuck to 'traditional western high fantasy', if you want to base a race or culture around an Asianic or Mesoamerican faith or folk lore, don't hold back!

If you aren't interesting in fantasy, don't fret, if this project goes well, we'll try our hand at Sci-Fi next!

Stage 2 Completed:
A vague decision, we can refine it later on since we seem somewhat divided on direction.
A god of life/death/time, Primal gods (elements and natural occurrences), and Mystic gods (Thought, passions, art, and emotions)

Stage 3: World Development and Race Creation ~ Ongoing
Now comes the fun part, everybody makes their own races, no limits! throw out any ideas!
We'll be talking about intelligent races, animals/creatures, and the world they live in!

Stage 4: Defining Religion, History, and Racial Interactions of the World ~ Ongoing
As we all work on our individual races, we'll finally get around to really defining the world.
We'll start giving the pantheon real names and define their purview, as well as pivotal moments in time that shaped the world to what it is today.

If this is an artistic work it probably belongs in The Arts, so I'm going to move it there.

Edit: Actually, what is this? Your old forum? That's technically advertising so we can't have it...but if it's an artistic writing project, it's game.

[ClottedCream]

No, that's the WFU wiki, and this is a world we were building, to use as a setting for RP's and such.

[VirtualWeasel]

It's a project, I'm not trying to promote the forum, I want to move the project over here because Weasel Forums is dead...

It is a writing project... That link is just to a Wikia site we have for the lore. Not affiliated with WF whatsoever, It's just in its old name.

[Avron the S'wit]

A writing project and now in the right place. Carry on.

[ClottedCream]

We now have to wait for people to join. >.>

[Gandalf]

Didn't take much interest when I saw it in the WF, but what do you need doing?

[VirtualWeasel]

...A lot. People left the project and left a lot of lore behind.

[Gandalf]

What look promising that has been dropped? Gimme a couple subjects, I'll see what I can do.

[ClottedCream]

We don't NEED anything, we're moving the project here, we'll post a "Getting started with WFU" page on the wiki, and then you can fire away, do anything you want with Races/factions and other stuff. within the lore, of course.

[Gandalf]

Weasel just said that there was a load of stuff that needed doing...

[VirtualWeasel]

I'm writing a thing to help you start Gandalf, but I really want anyone to contribute to commit. That's the only way this'll work.

[Gandalf]

Created an account on the Wiki, too.

[Sloady]

Guess who's back and kicking ass?

Gandalf, you can effectively do whatever you want. If you want, you can start something completely new - there's still room for that. Otherwise, there's stuff that hasn't really been built on that can be taken over.

[Gandalf]

Is there anything on Dwarves? I can cover that. Or, try.

[Sloady]

Dwarves were something that we avoided in the universe, because they were quite cliched. But we are lacking a good, expansive underground race, and I'd like to see the project evolve from what it was. If you come up with something that's a cool twist on dwarves (rather than them just being short, bearded and living underground), post it here.

[Gandalf]

Okay. I'll begin to work on something.

Guess who's back and kicking ass?

Err... Ronald Reagan?

OHAITHAR.

[Sloady]

That too POMC. Zombie Reagan will beat Romney any day now.

Ohai, um, "ClottedCream". I totally don't know you, but you should take over the Jarvah. Something tells me you'll do great.

[POMC S117]

... ClottedCream is....

[ClottedCream]

Mostly, no.

[Kiz]

Good to see this up and kicking, i'm game to help proof read/tweak if it goes on a wikia again - if its to be stored somewhere more simple, I can proofread for you guys!

[ClottedCream]

You remember the Goblin idea we discussed on WF? I'm against having Goblins in Atheryin, the'd feel out of place.

[POMC S117]

Out of place in a fantasy world?

I'd like to rejoin, if that's okay.
