☀︎⏾ Glemara ⏾☀︎ discussion

Glemara is an ancient world, brimming with magic and mystery. There are three main continents: Zenoya, Hufor, and Vleomios.

Zenoya: The largest and most populated continent. Diverse climates. Site of old magic wars.

* West: Ancient forests and mountain chains
* Center: Rolling plains and fertile river valleys
* East: Maritime kingdoms and trade empires
* North: Harsh tundra and dragon legends

Zenoya is shaped like a tilted crescent. To the west is Thesidour. In the center is Perin. To the south is Daizar. To the east is Boumore. To the north is Chuzzaris.

Hufor: Smaller, storm-ringed continent to the southeast.

* Known for scholars, star-readers, and sea-faring guilds
* Politically neutral
* Rumored to guard forbidden magical archives

Hufor is shaped like a crumbling cookie. To the south is Moufage. To the west is Kudia. To the north is Aixopan.

Vleomios: Mostly unexplored northern continent.

* Glacial wastes
* Ruins of an extinct magical empire
* Whispered to be where magic originated

Vleomios is shaped like a splatter of ink. In the center is Roneokya.

There are nine main kingdoms: Perin, Thesidour, Daizar, Boumore, Chuzzaris, Aixopan, Kudia, Roneokya, and Moufage.
Perin – Large successful kingdom. Known for political control.
Thesidour – Forest kingdom steeped in magic.
Daizar – Desert kingdom south of Perin. Famous for glass palaces and sun-magic relics.
Boumore – Coastal maritime trade empire. Controls sea routes.
Chuzzaris – Mountain confederation; known for jewel mines.
Aixopan – Scholarly island state near Ithryss.
Kudia – Grassland horse-lords.
Roneokya – Jungle kingdom filled with ancient ruins.
Moufage – Tiny but extremely wealthy banking kingdom.

Story of my novel (Honor)

Based in Perin. Young king Danokh dies, electing his best friend, the duke, named Ciprys, to be king in his place. The only stipulation is that Ciprys must marry Princess Phallia, Danokh's old fiancee, to seal the deal. Only two problems: Ciprys and Phallia hate each other, and Ciprys had his own fiancee, Malynes.

Can Ciprys and Phallia work together if only for their late friend's sake?
