I was inspired to create this work by a class which essentially kicked me in the pants to begin writing just a piece of history too far back for anyone to remember. This class, “Worldbuilding in Science Fiction and Fantasy” taught by professor Matt Bell, led me to create the beginning of a world which I had been toying with slowly for many years prior. At the start of the class, I had a map of one continent, a loose idea of the political workings of that continent, and several landmarks with unexplained and mysterious histories. By the end, I had created two more continents, an explanation for some of the landmarks, and many many more threads to toy with.&nbsp;</p><p>The Complete History of Verités and Her Peoples is intended to be a piece of writing within the world of Verités, kept in the highly guarded personal library of a lich by the name of Visher Delcanis. This library will very likely be a location for players in my world to seek out, as the information contained within all holds immense power. It is my hope that players will face a threat so outlandish or powerful that they will have to turn to these forgotten histories to find a solution, or perhaps even just understand what the threat they are facing is.</p> Fantasy Creative Writing World building The History of Verités and Her Peoples
