Remembering the Original Plan

From the beginning there were Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, and Ceres. The Figgits, Pennans, and Nomads came later.

At the start, the entire saga was about Khirsha, and Khirsha alone. Only later, when I began to develop the world did I come to realize the more far-reaching concepts of all that was taking place. By then I realized what I was creating was a place in which literally thousands of stories could be told, each distinctive from the others. The worlds, while having similar characteristics, were all different places, which different people. Most of the worlds would be completely ignorant of Elves in particular, but probably even a good number of the other races, too.

A variety of race/creature combinations could be imagined. Think of it.

Nomads - extinct race (presumed)

Pennans - extinct race (presumed)

Humans - hundreds of cultures

Dwarfs - many cultures

Figgits - several cultures

Gargoyls - several kinds

Gnomes - several kinds

Barbarians - many kinds

Trolls - several kinds

Dragons - twelve breeds, two kinds within each breed

Unicorns - eight breeds

As you can see, a lot of potential stories. And this doesn't even include the Children of Fire, Wizards, Teachers, Mortals, Warlords, Assassins, Overlords, gryphons, manticores, etc., etc., etc.

The Great Sea is a place for artists. Painters, Sculptors, writers, and whoever can come to The Great Sea and find a place to express their craft. There are certain things which must be kept true across creations in order for the work to truly be from The Great Sea. I suppose I should compile a compendium, or guide, of some sort to aide in the work.

Yeah. That's The Great Sea all right.
