everyone, I want some questions answered.
1.)Everyone, give me one positive, and 1 negative feature of Norwhich (minor stuff, and try not to be contradictory)
2.)Scath, what is the area around Norwhich like? biome, intereting features, wildlife?
7.) Everyone (again),Tell me one thing that makes this world different that the standard tolkienesque fantasy setting.
1. Positive: Due to the small river nearby farmers are able to grow food easily. Negative: Due to the fields to the east small rodents enter the silo, basements and storage areas easily and spread sickness, disease or loss of food if no one pays attention.
3. A small river makes its way north to south through the eastern part of town, fields of tall grass and dark purple flowers lay on the east a few trees dot the fields. To the west and towards the north is the forests. A mixture of dark wooded trees with large green leaves, pine trees with dark blue needles, thorny bushes, berry bushes and flowers of many colors makes up the dense woods. To the north a clearing in the woods as the main road makes its way through, woods on one side, the fields on the other. To the south is a mixture of grassland with spots of marsh closer to the river this is where most of the farms for the town reside. There is a strange tree a ways into the woods, much darker than the rest where the ground is covered in black spotted mushrooms, and the smell of decay hangs in the air. Wisps are frequently seen in the area.
The area around Norwhich has common creatures that are normally found in grasslands and woods with a few stranger creatures. Like the spidermouse (an 8 legged furry creature with a tail able to climb walls) the 2 tailed fox (Bright red fox with 2 tails that curls up and mimics the look of a common fruit in the area when frightened) the slitherleaf (green snake with a leaf like head and viney body, extremely poisonous and can be hard to see) the Sunray eagle (Massive large winged bird who build their nests high above the foliage of the trees, large shadows are cast on the ground when they fly over but you are never able to see their form as the seem to hide in direct sunlight) and the mysterious Forest Bison (Huge strong bodies covered in moss, leaves and twigs, often seen in small family's, able to disappear into the forest but can head butt a man 10 feet or send a horn straight through some of the strongest armor.)
7. There is no evil empire of evil evilness. Wars, torture, destruction are the byproduct of civilizations working towards the best for their own, sometimes taking it from others but no single empire looking for global domination just different ideals, religions or ways of life that sometimes don't get along.
Please feel free to just take any of this as an idea and change it anyway you would like!
