This is a project on a Website called Lego Ideas. It is from a Lego creator fan. If this project reaches 10k supporters (it's free to support) It could become a real official lego set. Not exactly like in the picture but a roman forum. I saw it and needed to share. Maybe together we can reach it https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/679f10e3-e94e-4376-b88a-829459f917bb
I’ve been working on this comic set in a post-nuclear world where humans are gone and everything is still radioactive.
Fairies started developing instead. They adapted to the pollution and unstable weather, building small slum cities protected from what’s outside.
Beyond those barriers, the world is still toxic and full of mutated life.
I’m really interested in the idea of fairies (usually seen as nature creatures) evolving in a world where nature doesn’t exist anymore, and where magic is something that happens to them rather than something they’re born with.
The project actually just hit its funding goal which is awesome!!
Would love to hear what people think about the concept, or what kind of mutations you think would realistically develop in them 👀

This is a story of a distant, distant place. A world born from the ashes of humanity, who incurred the wrath of the Earth Mother Goddess "Khalice" and were purged from the earth.
Long ago, the "Ancients" (us) crossed a line that could never be uncrossed. They discovered Abaddoselenium—the raw, primordial blood of the Chaos God—later known as "Manna." In their boundless greed, they used this substance to craft artificial life, stripping away their own ethics in a desperate bid for power.
The downfall was catalyzed by a man named Alba. After his wife and child were murdered and he himself was killed, his despair caught the eye of the Chaos God. Resurrected as a "Fixer," Alba orchestrated the global instability that led to the brink of nuclear war. Ironically, the Chaos God himself is just a "carefree bloke" who loves a laugh and wants to tinker in peace—but his sheer existence is so potent that his innocent whims manifest as world-ending disasters. To save the planet from total extinction, the Earth Mother Goddess "Khalice" had no choice but to cleanse the world with massive earthquakes and tsunamis, wiping the slate clean.
X00 million years passed. The world was washed clean by the sea. Due to the influence of Manna, the flow of time itself slowed; seismic activity and climate shifts were suppressed, creating a stagnated, unchanging landscape. From the "Blood of the Chaos God," four eggs were laid, birthing three dragons and a great bird. Then, the new seeds of life were sown.
What followed was a pointless, brutal war that left no victors—only wounds.
At the heart of this fractured peace stands Ranjarma-Xelageer, a young Hobbit mage who lost her parents and her childhood to the war 13 years ago. She seeks strength—not for conquest, but to ensure nothing is ever taken from her again.
Her journey leads her to Laduiagoth, famed as the strongest mage alive. However, the reality of Laduiagoth is pathetic: an alcoholic shell, drowning in despair, and paralyzed by the weight of being a "living sacrifice" who purifies the world's Manna simply by existing.
Yelekedis is currently destabilized by a surge of Apparitions in the desert.
I've put together 8 slides showcasing 29 scenes from this project.
ELEGY OF SOL | In the mid-26th century, humanity had colonized nearly the entire solar system, from the opulent polar cities of Mercury to the ice mining facilities around Pluto. Automated terraforming had already begun on Mars and Venus, and several colonies were founded around Barnard's Star and the Alpha Centauri trinary. Despite all that progress, the Earth was an ecological nightmare and the various powers-that-be were always at war. Some people could see the writing on the wall and wanted to get out as fast as possible.
Well! A massive generation ship enroute to start an Epsilon Eridani colonization effort suffered a catastrophic engine failure on the outermost fringes of the Oort Cloud. After weeks of searching and failed attempts at communicating with the solar system, they managed to find a large icy body to limp towards and "anchor" to. After months to years of failed repairs, collapsing societal order, and complete radio silence from the Solar System, the people switched operations to living on their makeshift space station and hoping to eventually build a working ship to return home.
Years turned to decades turned to centuries before they would ever make it back. A little over a millennium later, they would finally get a ship back to the Inner Solar System. They found a mass grave. Mercury was full of frozen corpses, Venus was an overgrown jungle, Earth was undergoing an ice age, Mars was covered in massive forests, and every single settlement beyond Mars was nothing but perfectly preserved, frozen carnage. Unbeknownst to the would-be colonists, following a total ecological collapse and several strategic attacks, humanity devolved into a panicked interplanetary war that ended society as they knew it.
_____________________
At the time of my setting, humanity has fully returned to the Solar System. In the nearly 300 years since, they've established resettlements on Venus and Mars, some small colonies in the Outer System, and are working on cleaning out the dead on Mercury and the Moon. Earth's orbit is being cleaned up, but they decided to leave it alone while it heals. >!They also discovered that some people survived (somehow) and are living in Iron Age (at best)-esque societies around the mostly ice-free equator and lower latitudes. !<Despite all the negativity of the past, they have learned their lessons and are living their best post-scarcity semi-utopian life, rediscovering long-lost history and culture.
This picture in particular is a postcard style image of a scenic view overlooking the first ever resettlement on Mars (and in the Solar System). It started as a crummy pen doodle, then was made entirely on paint dot net with a mouse and keyboard.
I'm currently working on Venus, with plans for Mercury and Earth afterwards.
(absolutely no AI was used at any point in this process)
The population of Atlantis consists of humanoid golems. Each rank is labeled by a specific color and style of dress, as shown here.
I just had it idea. I think is interesting but I'm afraid if futurama Jones. Shoud I duscard it? Did it's oad if both parents die short after chid birth?
Hey everyone, I’ve posted here a few times before and shared some of my maps, so I wanted to drop a small collection of what I’ve been working on.
The first map is Caelvarin, the main continent where my story takes place. There are other continents in the world, but this is the central one.
The second is Highstrand and the Craglands. Highstrand is the capital region and the political heart of the continent, with the Craglands sitting just below it.
The third map is the Mourning Coast, a cold, mist-heavy region with a pretty harsh atmosphere.
All of these regions fall under Highstrand’s influence, and I’m currently working on breaking everything down further into regional maps like these. I’ll be posting more of them soon.
If you’re into worldbuilding or map making, feel free to ask questions. The world is pretty fleshed out at this point, and I’m always down to dive into the lore.

Basically the evil god of your universe or multiverse.
In mine the entire omniverse was created by Order and Chaos. These aren’t gods by basically the first two primordial forces. But what came before was known as Nothing. No mind could truly comprehend it, mortal or even primordial. But nothing cannot exist, it’s paradoxical. When Order and Chaos came into existence Nothing changed. True Nothing is like a black ocean with a black sky and it’s something you don’t want to fall in.
It didn’t exactly hate, this is something the existed before the beings the made everything so it’s basically Lovecraftian, but saying hate is the closest things mere minds could understand. Nothing hates the concept of existence and everything it brings, it hated everything around them, it hated the concept of hate, and wants to return to the state it originally was anyway it wants to. So it created several children representing different aspects of Nothing, Null, Void, Apathy, Eraser, desolation (who later betrayed them and renamed themselves Destruction), and several others.
Nothing decided that if he could wait out and grow stronger. Originally Every time something dies it will return to Nothing. No revival, no afterlife, existence just gone, nothing. Just your soul completely gone. But every thing changed when the first mortal died. Mortals possess an ability known as a Mortal Will.
To sum it up as simply as possible It’s basically Anti-Haxs with multiple resistance (and straight up immunity if it’s high enough) to several things including things that tamper with someone soul, will, or mentality. To beat someone with high will, have a strong will too and just be better (So they could b!tch slap reality warpers, but have a hard time with someone with super strength). It’s split into five sections Persist, Learn, Lead, Create, and Express (which was created by mortals themselves).
The first mortal who died possessed a powerful Will to Persist and even after falling into the Pools of Nothing, it still existed and escaped. Becoming Death. With his new goal, preventing souls from being dragged into nothing. Nothing can drag individual souls down, even their children (excluding Destruction) can with effort. But it would be like killing an ant colony one by one. And They do not want to draw attention to them doing so. So the remaining children of Nothing are trying to drag each universe down into Nothing, slowly. Ones that they won’t notice, ones that are incomplete, one that are ruined already, ones like universe 124.567 instead of 124 or 125 (if that makes since). They have an eternity, which isn’t that long for them.
Hey can you critique my map. I drew from Africa (especially the mountian valley) and Brazil as inspiration. Dark green is jungle, green is savanah, brown is dry shrubbery type area and white is true desert. my goal is a smaller jungle base continent, it is the area where my dragonborn and lizardfolk are from. There are of course many dragons and dinosaurs in this island.
So, I have numerous world building projects that I work on whenever I feel like it. That way, I always have a theme to choose whenever I'm eager to write sci Fi or fantasy etc.
I've noticed in my writings that I sometimes use explanations like that in the title; that there are events that are simply shrouded in mystery and no one really knows what happened precisely
On one hand, that's also how our history works. We all have to speculate about past events because obviously not everything was meticulously written down by a bystander.
On the other hand, this is my writing exercise and in World building, because most if not all of it is made up, idk if that means I've failed whenever I simply use explanations like those in the title
In the Dome Cities, your role is fixed. Your worth is measured.
Beware when your Flow is assessed as unworthy.
Galatians are always dangered by their neighbours.They endured Romans and revolted against Byzantines,founding their country in 758.
Before 1254,Galatia stand as protector of Orthodoxy,having conquered ERE and defended Anatolia against muslims, bright future was ahead.But their fare reversed not by Muslims of east or Turks of north,but by Pope of Cathocalism.Founded by Crusaders with tremendous Galatian help,Crusader states unified under one state in 1186.
After Kristos the Second died on a hunting accident,civil war broke out between his Two sons:Eponi and Castor.After his defeat at Ancyra,Eponi took refugee in Kingdom of God.Soon Eponi invaded Galatia with Crusader army,promising them many rewards.1195 has seen Eponi crowned as King of Galatia.But his reign was shortlived as Crusaders,whom he refuses to gibe rewards,stormed İmperial Palace and killed him.Soon they devestated Anatolia and created their Order.
Pecheneg Khagnate,seeing their weakness,invaded Thrace and captures Costantinople after a blody siege and accepted Christianity shortly after.With the Varangian Order declearing independence they lost all of their possesions in Balkans.
After the death of the old gods the world was born anew. From the fallen gods bodies new life came and they rebuilt civilisation based on what was left behind
New Ceres is built surrounding the fallen Dragon Lord and reaps the benefits of a mana rich environment, causing the plant life to react and grow extremely well. Fortunately the locals don't seem to mind the extra greenery
Forcing myself to actually draw my world's environment and not JUST the characters, so here's a bit of both~
2nd pic is old but the first one's new and still a WIP
The fantasy world I envision is a pretty standard D&D-style fantasy world, similar to Toril, but with a higher level of technology, equivalent to Earth in the late 18th century—that is, they have black powder muskets,muzzle loading cannons, and line infantry.
In their wars, golems were important combat units—they were typically relatively inexpensive stone golems, clay golems, and sand golems. they were immune to most magic and virtually invincible to the infantry muskets, making them extremely useful on the battlefield.
the most common use was to position them in front of line infantry to withstand enemy fire. they could also serve as mobile artillery mounts, allowing for faster artillery movement, or for deployment in complex terrain. clearly, they would develop specialized shield wall golems and artillery mount golems.
however, they remain extremely expensive; perhaps in most countries, a company of infantry could only possess one golem, or they would be pooled together for deploy—which means they are more vulnerable to enemy artillery fire.
after careful consideration, I concluded that cost was the biggest problem. They had to reduce the cost of golems to a very low level—for example, to the cost of only a few cannons. otherwise, golems could not become standardized units in large-scale warfare and would only remain as private toys for a few important figures.
I found this lego model that captures the roman architecture. This is a project on a Website called Lego Ideas from a Lego fan. If itreaches 10k supporters (it's free to support) It could become a real official lego set. Not exactly like in the picture but roman architecture.
I saw it and needed to share. Maybe together we can reach https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/679f10e3-e94e-4376-b88a-829459f917bb
In my story, currently my five kingdoms are at war, however i am stuck on the concept of kind of war it should be? Yes i do want them to hate each other, and be weary of one another, but what should it be, expansion, killing an heir, peace treaty broken? Whilst the kingdoms are against each other a secret manipulator is pulling the strings to destroy all the kingdoms. What kind of war is happening in your world?
Official Name: Republic of Molossia
Member of: United Nations of North America, Assembly of Nations
Capital: Baughton
Motto: Fair Molossia is our Home! (Also the name of the Anthem)
Population: 550.000 people
Currency: Valora
Form of Government: Confederal Republic
Ruling Party: People's Party of Molossia
Ideology: Council Anocracy
President: Kevin Baugh
Economic Sectors: Small Business, Cattle, Silver and Gambling
-When the United Nations of North America won the Mexican-American war, many new nations where formed, among them, Nevada.
-Nevada in this timeline never got Reno or the region of Las Vegas (Which went to at-the-time Republic of California), becoming permanently economically tied to Cattle and Mining as their only Industries
-This made Nevada one of the poorer countries in the World and failed to develop a national identity
-This was until 1998, when Lakeian Immigrant Kevin Baugh created the city of Baughton, which soon became a sprawling center of Small Businesses and especially gambling, becoming known as "The Small Brother" of the Sister cities of Reno and Las Vegas.
-After the 2012 Silver Crisis (Caused by a discovery of a massive silver mine in Greece that basically made the price of Silver Crumble), and especially after the Nevada Government failed to address the poverty crisis; Baugh won the snap elections that happened after the Government finally collapsed and declared the Birth of Molossia, as a way to break with the weak identity of Nevada: He restructured the country to become a union of small towns and cities instead of the corrupt central authority, that collaborated in the newly created Molossian Council
-This doesn't mean the country had a "Small Government", instead, each town guided the government by vote, but most of the Influence still resides in Baugh
-Baugh has also expanded the Small Businesses and the Gambling economy all across Molossia
-Baugh is on his 5th Term, and probably his last since he plans to retire after completing this term.
Hey guys! I'm getting deeper into my world building and keep shifting how I work on and use my outline. I switched from Miro to Obsidian after a previous post here and found it very helpful for the visual and file organization. I was wondering what techniques other people use to organize, and crucially, USE those notes to build out various projects. I suspect this depends on the end goal for the world, is it DND, a comic, movie or book.
My current approach is just building an encyclopedia of history and knowledge. I studied as a visual artist, but recently been writing a lot so I figured this could be a cool combination of concept art with documentation. In theory, this would eventually become just a companion piece to other stories within the same world in a mixed media format, spanning from. Books to comics to video games.
What about you? How to you approach your world building, and what's the desired outcome for you?
Thanks for hanging out!
