Hello, and welcome to the first post on my blog! As the title says, I'll be talking about my current writing project, The Tales of Fenestra Anthology Series. This will be a series of books that focus on the various stories and tales of the world of Fenestra, a world created after the end of ours. This blog post will focus on the creation of the lands of the Fenestra, each regions' separate cultures and peoples, and how each region works with each other.
First, we have the creation of Fenestra. In the year of 2097, the world started to experience large seismic events much more frequently. Earthquakes and tsunamis start to become larger and bigger, and with the heightened sea levels from global warming, humanity is in the threat of extinction. Soon, strange gemstones began to surface. Scientists began studying them, and eventually named them Charollite. People began wearing them and wore the gemstones all the time. However, the gemstones' properties made them highly toxic, which furthered their extinction. Eventually, humanity was extinct, and Mother Nature would begin to build a new.
Eventually, in what would become the start of the Patronic Era, strange beings resembling humans, known as Patrons, began to surface. From the earliest texts that still exist, we can infer that the first one was known as The Architect. The Architect began to experiment and explore the new lands Mother Nature had created after the fall of humans. Soon, he grew lonely, and using the Charollite, started to create other Patrons. The Architect was named such since he created and built each new Patron himself, by taking Charollite, ingesting it and weaving the magical essence from his hands into the ground, which caused the shape of the Patron to manifest.
For now, let me explain what a Patron is. Patrons are humanoid beings who vary in appearance and gender drastically. Some appear as what one would call an Elf, having sleek and slender bodies with pale skin, and having those iconic pointy ears. Others appear like animals, such as deer, lions, tigers, bears and some appearing as mythical creatures, like unicorns and dragons. The number varies, but the most concise number of Patrons The Architect created is possibly at least 10, and at most 100.
The Architect soon gathered the Patrons he created together and spoke to them, telling them about the world he explored, the sights he saw, and the beings he witnessed. After his short speech, he named each Patron, and taught them how to use their respective abilities. The Patrons we know of are Umbra, The Lady of the Moon, The Speaker, The One Who Creates Sound, The Dragon King, Lord of Fire, and Rizania, Lady of the Sky. There are other Patrons however, none of which have names known to us but a select few, such as The Trinity, Arenos, Patron of War, The Puppeteer, and others.
All of the Patrons then decided to divide the land among themselves, each one taking a region to govern. To the East lies the Crystal Heights, ruled by Umbra. To the West lies Rossikyra, ruled by Rizania. To the North lies Sevcon, ruled by The Speaker. To the South lies The Dragon Lands, ruled by the Dragon King. In the center of the sea that separates these landmasses is the Central Island, where The Architect's Tower sits. There, The Architect stays, working on his projects.
Thank you for reading this post! This post will eventually be updated with the official map of Fenestra, and next we will be talking about the northern country of Sevcon.
