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.
