Today's Topic How to share the details of your world without boring people to death If you have ever gone to the Gardul.com and checked out my world tab. You would have noticed, it is very vague. I talk more about the story of my world-building than I talk about my world. It is deliberate. I want to share my world out slowly. It is massive, and to be honest. Most of it has never been made digital. Listen to the episode to learn why, and a workaround I have come up with to share more.

Episode 210 Building an Iron Age Gang MS 119 BCE Today's Topic Let's make us a very old school gang To further flesh out the world needed for the Marcus and the Jewels of Daivvavaahra heist story I knew I wanted a gang. It would be easier to create a classic thieves guild, the trope is so common in fantasy. However, it does not yet make sense in my world. The idea of guilds are starting to show up, however, they are currently only used in very common professions. Luckily this is not common enough in the city of Baurhdrakkas. I personally wanted a street gang to play the role of secondary antagonist. I like the idea of having another group of criminals interfere with a burglary style heist story.

Today's Topic 5 steps to create great characters great characters I spend lots of time talking to people about the act of character creation. I think it is the purest and most important step of great worldbuilding. I was shocked at how many overly complicated systems I saw to create characters. Now, I do believe that you should spend some time developing essential characters for your fiction. However, what you need to look at is very simple. Join Michael and I as we look at the 5 steps to great characters.

Today's Topic Creating a fantasy story from a world So I was looking for a crypt to have Michael break into to help gather what is needed to pull off the heist for the jewels of Daivvavaahra. Crypts are classic fantasy fair, It is a great reason to go down into the dungeon. However, This is meant to be a minor piece of a heist story, not a focus. I also wanted some element in my world to be influenced by Montjuic Cemetery in Barcelona. It goes up into the cliffs, not down into the earth. There are major differences. However, the stacked elements of the cemetery are what inspired my version on Gardul. Join Michael and I as we create a crypt.

Dug in crypts above in a cliff face A series of paths and climbing will be needed to ascend the path. Guards will kill thieves, they are rather inattentive. Want 5 risk points going in or out of the crept Crypt its self (Old Cwerin royal Tomb) First King used it Royals and nobles preferred burning until the last 100 years Most tombs are filled in holes in cliff 3 chambers open to the cliff side. Light on the exquisite will show the throne. A few old royal Cwerin tombs exist This one has a throne room Bones are on a throne Trap above the throne Chamber one Lots of block script (Cwerin words) Twice the size of the hall 6 x 4 X 8 no door cliffside Very overgrown with vines Exits into short hall Halls are 3 wide and 5 foot high Chamber 2 Ceiling lower Cwerin Carvings Think Celtic knotting Square is typically base shape 6 x 4 X 6 much Thrown rooms is picked clean, there are several sets of bones at the base of the throne. Some are shattered as if a heavyweight crushed down on them. 12 x 12 X 8 4 x4 X ??? hole is above the throne. Nothing can be seen in the hole, it is designed to hide a spiked very heavy cage.
