Greetings, fellow fantasy enthusiasts!

I am thrilled to share with you the first draft of one of our cultures for the upcoming novel series. Today, we introduce you to the People of Light—a truly unique and fascinating race that inhabits this fantasy world. (Still working on the name of their culture though)

Who Are the People of Light?

The People of Light are ethereal beings whose very essence is intertwined with the element of light. Their skin is not just pale or fair; it is the purest white, radiant like the brightest light imaginable. This luminosity is not just a physical trait but a reflection of their inner nature. They are very religious people and are lead by a king as well as the head priest of their religion.

Appearance and Clothing

Due to their light-based nature, the People of Light prefer to wear light, airy clothing. Heavy garments are not only uncomfortable for them but also dim their natural glow. Their attire often includes flowing robes, diaphanous fabrics, and iridescent materials that shimmer and change color with the light, enhancing their already dazzling appearance.

The Conflict

As much as we adore this initial concept, we’re grappling with a crucial decision: should the People of Light remain as human-like as they are in this sketch, or should we push the boundaries and make them a bit less human? This question is particularly important since our first book centers on two individuals from this nation. Their journey and interactions will set the tone for the entire series, and we want to ensure that their portrayal is both captivating and consistent with our world-building.

Your Thoughts?

This is where you come in, dear readers. We value your input and would love to hear your thoughts on this matter. Do you think the People of Light should retain their human-like traits, making them more relatable and grounded? Or should we embrace a more fantastical approach, emphasizing their otherworldly nature?

Your feedback will be invaluable as we continue to refine and develop this fascinating culture. Feel free to share your opinions, suggestions, or any questions you might have in the comments below.

Conclusion

Creating a new culture from scratch is an exhilarating process, and we are excited to bring the People of Light to life in our upcoming series. Their vibrant personalities, radiant appearance, and unique way of life promise to add a rich layer of intrigue and wonder to our story. With your help, we aim to craft a world that is both magical and believable, filled with characters that resonate deeply with our readers.

Thank you for joining us on this creative journey. Stay tuned for more updates and insights into the world we’re building, and don’t forget to share your thoughts!

Sincerely,
Minu
