Scope
The motivation behind building Mystoria
I'm building Mystoria out of a deep love for the fantasy and steampunk genres. These genres have always captivated me with their unique blend of magic, machinery, and boundless creativity. I see Mystoria as a canvas where I can paint a world that embodies these elements. Moreover, I'm excited about the possibilities of AI-enhanced creativity. By leveraging AI tools like Chat GPT for writing and MidJourney AI for image creation, I can bring my vision to life in ways that were previously unimaginable.
The goal of the project
I'm hoping to create an immersive world experience with Mystoria that can be shared through various mediums. I envision Mystoria coming alive not just in books, but also through Patreon, maps, images, stickers, and even fan fiction. I want to create a rich, multi-faceted experience that allows others to explore and engage with Mystoria in their own unique ways.
Mystoria's Unique Selling point
The unique selling point of Mystoria is the fusion of my creative drive with AI-powered enhancements. I'm not just using AI tools to assist in the creation of Mystoria; I'm integrating them into the very fabric of the world. By using Chat GPT for writing and MidJourney AI for image creation, I'm pushing the boundaries of what's possible in world-building. This fusion of creativity and technology is what sets Mystoria apart.
Theme
Genre
Mystoria is my world where fantasy meets steampunk. It's a place where magic and machinery coexist, where airships sail the skies and sorcerers weave spells of breathtaking complexity. It's a world that marries the whimsical and the mechanical, creating a unique blend that's both familiar and fresh.
Reader Experience
In Mystoria, I want to evoke a sense of wonder and adventure. I want it to be a place where every day brings a new journey, where the turn of every corner could reveal something amazing. Whether it's a hidden city in the clouds or a forgotten ruin teeming with ancient magic, Mystoria is a world that invites exploration and discovery.
Reader Tone
The tone of Mystoria is mostly bright, with hints of darkness. It's a world filled with wonder and excitement, but it's not without its perils and mysteries. This balance creates a world that's not only thrilling to explore but also serves as an escape from the harsh realities of Earth.
Recurring Themes
In Mystoria, the recurring themes are the wonderland-like sense of adventure, the unique blend of magic and technology, and an inclusive society. It's a world where anyone can be anything, where your identity is not limited by your birth or circumstance. As long as you have the consent of all parties involved and are of age, you are free to be who and what you want to be and do what you want to do.
Character Agency
The characters in Mystoria have free will, and their actions shape the world around them. Some are guided by prophecies, but these prophecies don't dictate their lives. Instead, they provide a framework within which the characters can make their own choices and forge their own destinies.
Focus
Drama
The Great Escape from Pelika
In the whimsical land of Pelika, the magical "weird" - creatures and phenomena of all sorts - have begun to escape their usual confines. This has led to a surge of these magical anomalies appearing in neighboring countries, particularly Clockwork Reach and Copper Crest. The reasons for this mass exodus are still unknown, but the effects are being felt across Mystoria, leading to a mix of wonder, concern, and in some cases, chaos.Awakening of the Slumbering Giant
In Windwhistle Waste, a large creature that has been sleeping for centuries is beginning to stir. The slow, rumbling movements have sent tremors through the land, causing unease among the inhabitants. The creature's awakening could bring about significant changes to the landscape and ecosystem of Windwhistle Waste, and the rest of Mystoria watches with bated breath, unsure of what the awakening will bring.Pirates of the Southwestern Seas
The ocean to the southwest of Mystoria has become a hotbed for pirate activity. These seafaring marauders have been causing trouble for Twilight Tangle, disrupting trade routes and causing fear among the coastal communities. The reasons for the sudden increase in pirate activity are still unclear, but their presence is a growing concern for the people of Mystoria.The Altua Baby Boom
In a surprising turn of events, the Altua are experiencing a baby boom - the first in their recorded history. This sudden population growth has brought joy and hope to the Altua, but it also presents new challenges. Resources, education, and space will need to be managed carefully to accommodate the growing population.The Deities' Increased Presence
The deities of Mystoria, each worshipped by a different country, have been making more frequent appearances. This has led to an increase in stories and legends about them, adding to the rich tapestry of Mystorian mythology. The reason for their increased appearances is unknown, sparking speculation and debate among the people. Some see it as a sign of divine favor, while others worry it could be a warning of challenges to come.
