Fantasy Romance
Fantasy romance is a lot of fun, and I love adding romantic elements to my fantasy plots. Generally, these are going to be darker in content, like all my other works, so mind the warnings. Fantasy, in my view, is anything in a setting other than modern or future times on a different world. These worlds often have magic of some type, strange creatures, and different types of societies. There is an overarching plot, but within that plot, there are various romantic elements woven into it, giving the characters realism and depth. I do include the spicy stuff, but it perhaps is a little less spicy than some of my other dark romances.
The world of Avern is growing and changing before the eyes of its residents. In a universe ruled by the Maker and Unmaker, things are never simple for the mortals of the realms, or even for the immortal gods.
As the world of Avern was brought to be by the Flame of Asumbar, otherwise known as the flame of life, there have been many effects on the people both mortal and immortal. The Flame of Asumbar was carried by the Eternal Phoenix, the only immortal universal creature capable of bearing such a powerful object. The effect, though, of bearing such a powerful artifact, and bring life to the world of Avern, was that the Eternal Phoenix was sundered into the component elemental parts of earth, air, water, fire, light, and dark. These elements make up everything in the world of Avern from magic to physical objects.
Magical and rife with those who want power, there are many aspects of Avern that cause suffering to those that reside there. During the Abandonment—a period of nearly one thousand years when the gods were gone—different factions rose to power and took the place of once powerful priests and clerics. The effect was that of there becoming blossoming republics as well as corrupt oligarchies and other political structures.
Venture into Avern, and find a land full of opportunities, both good and ill. Adventures abound and those who seek their fortune in the form of glory or gold walk the world. From pirates and kings to paupers and peasants, there are people of all walks of life. Enter with care, as there is no telling what will happen once you’re in Avern.
Zettacosma is a modern fantasy world. In some ways, it's like our own, with modern technology, such as cars, the internet (known as datanet), and familiar-looking subcultures.
But in many ways, it's different from our own. This world is much larger than our own. City-states replace countries, and wars between them are rare. Vast areas of unsettled land called 'wild zones' exist between many of these city-states. City-state laws don't apply in wild zones, and as a result, they're havens for criminals and monsters. City-states range from progressive utopias to despotic hellholes
Magic exists in this world. Mixed with technology, it has created many wonders and horrors. Many deities also exist, both familiar and new.
Finally, this world is home to many different races and intelligent species. Just like the deities, some are familiar (elfves, dwarves, orcs, etc.), and some original.
