Introduction

I have always wanted write a full blown fantasy story and the other day I got the first glimpse of some of the characters and setting for this story.
I believe that the most important thing before writing any story is knowing the setting. For example if I was to write a story about being an orphan living on the streets of Cuba I would probably fail dismally because I am not an orphan nor have i ever even met one and I know next to nothing about Cuba. The nice thing about writing fantasy is that all the research you will ever need to do is already right there in your head, all you need to do is spend a little time sorting out the details you need.
Anyway the world that I discovered is called Thamatia. Everything that I need to know about it will hopefully be here in this folder for anyone to see and provide opinions on. Below is the introduction to Thamatia. I will post more as soon as i record it.

Thamatia is a world populated by various fantastical races. It was once rich in magic in a time known as "Ergrem" (Alti for the state of flourishing) but after an event a thousand years ago know only as "the barring" it has been in a state of Eskah (emptiness). A time will come when magic returns to Thamatia preceded by Etram (the sprouting) when a rift will open for only a few minutes and those in a certain radius will be magically charged.
