I would like to talk about how I began, in fact, to write and where I began my journey to literature. My path still continues, and creativity develops. I do not consider myself a professional and I don’t dare to consider it, for I have just stepped onto my ladder. But I still wanted to tell you, dear readers, how I began to create worlds.
In fact, my fantasy-setting "Infinitas" grew out of several worlds that I created in early childhood. Interestingly, at first there were several separate planets on which various forces fought among themselves. Even I hardly remember what was going on there. Only a few passages reach, which are still in my archives at home, that is, they literally gather dust in some shabby shelves. At the very beginning I had only two fantasy worlds, and they were similar to the typical Tolkienstvo measurement That is, one large planet, many different states, without a doubt elves and gnomes, orcs and giants, and of course other simpotyagi. My first world was called Hoarem. I called it ... Well, just invented the name and everything, and no historical predispositions here.
But the second world, I called just the same Infinity (Infinite). Then he added a Latin "ace" and it turned out that we now have. True, this happened later. In the first fantasy world, as you already know, humans, elves, gnomes, orcs, goblins, analogs of hobbits, Khajiit from TEC, fights, giants, ogres and various monsters fought among themselves. Elves were divided into lunar, sea, underwater, forest, mountain and even heavenly. The main character was a knight named Fuller (in the new setting - this is a psionic sorcerer), who decided to withstand the powerful force in the person of the Fallen, alien creatures that were once human. The main villain was Mr. One Tooth, more like Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean. The plot was that this Odnuzub - none other than the ancestor of the knight Fuller, who in the distant past bowed before the Lord of Shadows, the king of hell. I even managed to write a whole novel on this story. The truth is in the paper-tetrad version ... Naturally, it will not be published. There are so many clumsiness that you can die and not get up! But the echoes of that world and the plot still swirl in my head.
The second world was cosmic, but again, everything was based on magic. Spaceships were telepathically controlled. People fought like in the 19th century with dragoons and cuirassiers, although there were holograms and robots, and a lot of futuristic things. I had no hints of Earth ... Everything happened in the fictional worlds. The cosmic world concentrated on the same star system Santar, where the main actions took place. The main character was Prince Elarant, who decided, together with his friends, to learn magic skills from the great magicians of the clan Drueden. Then came the main villain, the demon Nicephorus von Peter, who decided in the guise of a man to stage a coup in the main human state. He gathers an army of human supporters, breeds intrigues and conspiracies, and Elarant and his team accidentally find out about it, and the war begins. In the end, everything ends with a victory over Nikifor-von-Peter, who actually turns out to be just one of the demons-magicians sent to kill people. Following the slain demon, others like him appear, with whom the main characters fight. According to this version, only one book was written, while others remained unfinished.
And now, closer to 2009, my universe expanded and began to turn into something worthwhile, to take a modern look. Instead of a single star system, several galaxies appeared. The action was moved first to the 43rd century from AD, then to the 39th, and at the end to the 26th, just like in the current setting variation. Elves and gnomes appeared, only in the space version. Elves initially resembled the Eldar from 40k at first, and only then acquired uniqueness. At the end, the universe was filled with other races, which every year only expanded and updated. Today, the campaign is inhabited by an almost countless number of different civilizations and nations, which simply makes up for all that amount.
