Alright I figured out how I will tackle Sudovia's geography with Annie. Rather than just do a giant geography dump, I think it's better to spread it out. As a result there will be multiple posts rather than lumping it all together into a single post. Easier that way. This is something I really wish I had map drawing skills for, so I could add it to the post. Illustrations would really help out here.

Part 1 of however many posts this will take is up for you, Annie. I am going to focus mainly on this for you, while I work on the other posts. These are very important posts, so they need a special kind of focus and I can't just spread them out. I'd rather have them on one or two pages. Three at most.

Your effort and care for your world is admirable, Pink! It's rare to find that in writers. Nowadays, nobody seems to care about what they're writing, hence the extreme lack of effort and syntax. People say things like AI will takeover artists' jobs and create art that's soulless and empty--nope, most humans nowadays are already soulless and empty and it shows in their art, whether it's music, writing or digital art. This seems to have began around the time social media boomed, around the late 2010s.

Anyways, I recently discovered why my audio interface wasn't working with my DAW--my old stereo wasn't picked up by the output setting. Basically, the DAW can't detect my stereo, presumably because I used a converted for the red-white cables into AUX in into the PC. As Annie predicted, I did indeed solve the issue.

So I ordered some cheap but decent studio monitors, which should solve the problem. In the mean time I've been practicing guitar, bass-guitar, digital keyboard and electronic aerophone on my new amp and, with the help of a loop switch, was able to be a one-man band for a while and I liked what I did. There's so many sounds the digital keyboard can use, and this is only the beginning. Once I learn how to use the DAW (digital audio workstation) I'll have so much more tools, effects, and access to a nearly endless array of components and sounds to keep me busy forever.

But I also ran out of money getting these things XD definitely can't afford the higher quality gear but I'm happy with the minimal setup I have.

Well if I'm being honest, This should have been tackled earlier rather than going down the extremely long-winded aproach I had us go down. Beginner's mistake. Mentor characters give the important geographic, political/religious information, then disappear or die. If they reappear, it is usually towards the end of the story.

The mentor archetype has been done to death. But it is done for a reason. Since I don't have map drawing skills I'm forced to rely on geographic descriptions. This is acceptable, only as long as it is in one place. If you guys forget, you can hop back to page 110- 113 when it's all done. In lieu of an actual map, this approach works.

Tom spoke honestly, "Tuba is a village of no significant tactical value, most of us supported the resistance, but were too afraid of the vampires in the nearby fort even to consider resisting. You know this." Tom began.

"As long as we left them alone, they would be friendly towards us. I'm not sure what was going on inside his home, but that stupid teenage boy, Metras decided that he would attempt to live up to his namesake, and attempted to kidnap a vampire who was in the village looking for certain books." Tom admitted.

"You were out in the forest when this was going on, you always liked the view from a certain rock that gave a good view of Vilnias. In the ensuing struggle in the bookshop, the vampire was fatally stabbed in the neck." While you were gone, we had to get rid of the vampire's body. Tom continued.

"I don't know what was going on in Metras' home, but I would not be surprised if he read that tale about Prince Metras and his crusade against the vampires, or was told about it. That tale is forbidden to possess in book form, and illegal to recount according to Clan Gern law. You did not know it yet, but the entire town was in danger, and we just omitted it from everyone from our wives, from our children, the town men hacked the body apart and tossed it into the nearby river.

He continued "A day later, a vampire contingent came from the fort to investigate a disappearance. We lied out of our teeth about his death, they left to investigate. That is how this began. We were so determined to protect everyone from the truth, but I think that we did everyone in town a disservice. Somewhere along the line, the head must have washed up. Another contingent came with the severed head in hand and ordered us to tell them who the killer was. You were inside the home, and I told you to get your bow and arrows ready, as well as your spells. Just in case. It did not take long for Metras to be identified as the kille

From Vampyro Page 47:

I read your post, Annie and it contradicts this. It goes further into page 48.


The short: your character would know where this vampire fort is and that it has been there for quite a while. Re-read those two posts and fix your post, please :)


Realistically speaking you could even name the fort yourself. Even something as uninspired as "Fort Tuba" would work =)

Annie. The vampires did ccasionally go into Tuba. Not often, but enough that conflict arose there eventually. Usually they went in to collect blood tithes. Other times, it was for business, such as the vampire who went into the bookstore looking fir any copies of The Legend of Metras and ended up murdered by a teenager of the same name. That is how the conflict began.

Your post contradicts this.
