You're doing very well... you don't need either il here though. You can just write Rho e fasil...So Haleza Grise wrote:Rhofasil crivan vouim il eshele, ac il rho e fasil crivan im soan Sfahan!
The Verdurian word is from ciy 'epoch' + r?ma 'count, reckoning'. The Cuzeian is Re:neca so:nie: 'count of years'.So Haleza Grise wrote:Rho tenao sul an cues ci-piyula: esce soa Cir?ma sfahe eta soi elcari? Se rhedcao dy ila e pleshchura Cuze?.

It covers everything from the creation of the four worlds before Almea to the formation of Cuzei. The major sections are:
Creation
The creation of the Ei:nalandaue:
The rebellion of Ekaia (Eca?as)
The creation of the giants (the first Thinking Kind)
The war of the giants and ogres
The creation of the ilii, and how Iriam wooed Alana
The first 5 wars of the iliu and the ktuvoks
The creation of the elcari (and some stories about them)
The creation of men and the quest of Arash and Zhen?ra
The final 3 iliu-ktuvok wars
The return to barbarism, and the rise of Metayu
The Cuzeian rediscovery of I?inos
The invasion of the Plain by the Four Cuzeian Lineages
The formation of the original Cuzeian kingdoms
The loss of Metayu and Cayenas to the Cadhinorians
The union of Cuzei under the Calesiore:
I'm up to the third-to-last of these.
The version I'll be posting is the very earliest-- therefore, the one that treats the least of the history of Cuzei! It was the custom for scribes to bring it up to date when they copied it, so later versions deal with more Cuzeian history, and the Arashei version even has some Cadhinorian history in it, mostly an interpolation about Erv?a.
Wow! This is a very major thing! I can't wait!
From which terrestrial myths did you draw inspiration?
I see a bit of Norse mythology in there, with the Giants being the first to be created. Also the word Ei:nalandaue: looks somewhat like Ainulindal?, which is Tolkien's creation myth.
Oh man, I'm going to just gobble this thing up.
What's the release date?

Aah, history.
Especially fun if you're the one making it up. You ace all tests.
I've actually got a long and detailed storyline for J. Tegire I in the back of my head. I can say it to myself in blazing color and detail without the slightest strain, but, being a lefty ((and darn proud of it )), I'm not the best at writing it all down. Which really stinks, because it's a complex story, full of battle, divine providence, and all-around koolness. I can imagine it as a movie, but every time I try to write it down, I can't get it out. Plus I don't have any names for people, besides J, of course. I could give you the run-down if you want, but this is the Almea forum.

Same with me. I'm good at con-history and con-myth, but horrible at writing. Ah well, not everyone can be a tolkien...

There's enough to do without that! But who knows... I've always assumed there'd be a big war between Verduria and Dhekhnam in the 3500s. After that, I don't know. It'd be fun to take the planet into the space age... on the other hand, I have a whole s.f. universe for that.ranskaldan wrote:Thats a lot of stuff.
So... are you going to do some sort of future history? Like, Erelae for the next 400 years?

Sci Fi Universe?
S.F. Universe? Do you have a whole other fantasy creation like Almea, except in a science fiction genre instead of a fantasy genre?zompist wrote:

What are you hiding?

Re: Sci Fi Universe?
A whole 'nother s.f. universe. I have a couple of novels set in it, and one of them is even readable. Not as much background material, though.ShadA501 wrote:S.F. Universe? Do you have a whole other fantasy creation like Almea, except in a science fiction genre instead of a fantasy genre?

Some of you will recognize the name of one of the planets in it: Maraille. (No, it's not named for the font. :)
a little info?
So, you think you could give us maybe a three-sentence description of that universe? Is it more like a Star Trek type or a Star Wars type or neither? In Earth's future or in a totally different setting? ...?A whole 'nother s.f. universe. I have a couple of novels set in it, and one of them is even readable. Not as much background material, though.

Re: a little info?
It's a future history for Earth. Compared to other s.f. universes, the biggest difference is that the speed of light remains an absolute limit. As a result, space exploration goes slowly, and even after a few thousand years there are only about 50 human worlds. Because travel is so slow and expensive, very few actual goods change hands... the biggest trade is in intangibles-- ideas, patents, cultural material.ShadA501 wrote:So, you think you could give us maybe a three-sentence description of that universe?

Something else that changes human life immensely: lifetimes approach a thousand years. One corollary is that child-raising is not much of a focus of society. Today, half a typical person's life is spent being a child or raising one; in this future, it's more like 5%.
I'm a lefty too. Yay!JonathanaTegire wrote:Aah, history.
