By May 18th, 2012, I want to be finished with the bulk of the worldbuilding. That's 255 hours. Sounds like a lot, but I have to...
- Figure out the political and economic systems for the Quorian Empire.
- Figure out Erika's culture in its entirety: politics, economics, values, religion, language...
- Figure out the political & economic system of the Kilingr, and how Erika's family features in them.
- Figure out the culture of the province in which Kieran was raised.
- Get a grasp of Latin, Old Norse, possibly Arabic, and who-knows-the-hell-what-language for Erika so that I can make a reasonable map.
- Make a reasonable map.
- Figure out the specifics of religion/magic for each culture and how they mirror the spirit world.
- Investigate a variety of small specific subjects relevant to the story: for instance, what was the life of Augustus Caesar like? How did the Romans, Egyptians, and Bedouin view death & mourning? What sort of weapons did the Romans use, and the Vikings, and how can I level the playing field? And so on...
Should be fun. :)
