- Hey guys, today we lay the groundwork for our post-apocalyptic fantasy world Epocrion! One of the key components of creating a world that you plan on putting through the fantasy blender, is that you have to have a very solid foundation so you can destroy it. Here in our video we go over just that, from tectonic plates, to climate mapping and even to world changing magical effects, we even touch on some of the cultures of the known world and more! And keep in mind this world is being designed with the intention of compatibility with various RPG systems so far we have, D&D 5e (Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition) first & maybe eventually even Darrington Press' Daggerheart!

Something I personally would do is use ‘lightblight’ as a more salt of the Earth version of ‘luxencurse’ so people of a higher status would use luxe curse and lower status would use lightblight, but both would use lux as a shortened version of the term. That’s just me, and you’ve earned a subscriber
Wow, you've built such a cool world! I love how you thought through every aspect, from the magical leylines to the languages.
NOW BLOW IT UP
My friend and I are dabbling world building. One creates the world, its gods, and magic system, and the other fills it with flora, fauna, and cultures found there.
I really like your Veiled Cities, and the Veil Lords. They’re like the walking city my friend made as a way for his people to survive our own world’s apocalypse.
Ooooo. Hell yeah dude! Love how your magic interacts with the world. That concept is one of my favorite to play with when designing my maps.
Speed-mapping as you discuss the locations is so rad
no way is this Zagreus Winters????????????? Big fan
I love this world. While I had no doubt it would be fleshed out, I was suprised by just how much you did. Amazing job and I cannot wait to hear more in the future!
Just to add to your linguistic game, especially with renaming light to lux.
When naming things I like to think as the people who speak that language, (how different languages treat foreign words like in English the country is Hungary but for the native speakers it's Magyarország, completely different) so some names change when a different culture handles them.
Another point is I like to think about language origins (my linguistics degree comes in handy finally) so in your case a Latin or Romance based language was the result of hundreds of years of synchronism, Latin is less natural and more constructed to include the peoples of an empire born out of the Hellenistic culture. It's only my train of thought when dealing with fantasy languages but when I hear a Latin-like word instead of a very descriptive, very natural name like Lightblight it makes me think that it's was only named that to sound cool. (Lots of YA writers do this)
TLDR: I think people would name a defining cultural pillar something in their own language. That being said I really like how you explained the middle-to-high context communication of it with parallels to fallout's rads
You are stunningly slow in double speed.
Really get to the point, any point!
