omgg it works HI AZU

HELLO SIMMER

[arsokaa]

monika my one and only and coincidentally my mother now lmao

[arsokaa]

omg?? how does she react when she learns esther was brought back to life? i’m curious (and worried) about how she feels about that!

also the fact she likes tech is so cool!!! does she have a robot companion of some kind? what’s her favorite thing to build? least? how does her love for tech affect her heroes journey and life?

“3 gods' status' are unknown” uh oh this does not bode well . does the audience know the gods status while the mc doesnt? or does the mc eventually find out? and omg lyric goes through a rival arc with mellonia lets go

JELPP most of this will be revealed in actual chapters fufu

funny factual moment - sf doesnt have one mc, the mcs are yet to be revealed ( on this tumblr page lmao )

lyric basically knows nothing much about the world around her because,, well,, it doesnt interest her, she knows basic stuff and is extremely smart ( quite terrible at social situations but i digress ) she also tries making robots but most of the time fails because she doesnt have the right scraps to make them correctly,, however she does have a robot she carries around called lucy though

[arsokaa]

lets go!!! if u don’t mind me asking: how’s the climate like? how are the people there? culture? what ethnic groups exist? i need to know >:33

WWW okay so !!

avalon has very moderate climate in spring and summer, however it gets extremely cold in autumn and winter ( autumn has a winter feeling, while in winter youd freeze if you werent either a local or were dressed for the occaission ) this is why avalon's fashion is known for being really cozy !!

id have to make a whole seperate parts of cultural stuff or i could just spam your dms abt it fufu

in avalon atleast, about 30% of the population are demons, including the royal family ( not going into detail about what types of demons ), 60% are elves/humans/mages etc and 10% are angels ( again, not detailing what types )

[arsokaa]

screams all of ur ideas are so so cool!!!! u mentioned lyric being involved and it makes me think how’s it would react to meeting the gods? would she pleased, shocked, angry? how would she feel?

she was born 200 years after esther's ressurection, so she doesnt know about her origins ( actually, she quite likes tech!! due her special interest being robotics ) its another thing to mention that 3 gods' status' are unknown ( as, in canon, nobody knows esther was ressurected lmao ) so when meeting mellonia, she simply knows that mellonia is a bad person, she just doesnt know why, like a gut feeling

[arsokaa]

(live reaction to the maps) theres a lot of subunits and formal regions within those dimensions :00 it’s really cool! where does your story mainly take place? i’d love to know

AVALON <3

[arsokaa]

sapphire flames world building p2!!

tw for death, warfare etc etc

II. MAPS

in arha there are multiple islands and countries, having deep history etc etc. however sapphire flames mainly takes place in avalon.

i also added maps of the above, the dragonlands and phantom valley, the deep doesnt have a map ( for now )

III. DEITIES

alright, so the deities of arha are the gods and the monarchs. the difference between the two is that the gods have the authority to give the monarchs power and can also take it away,

however, ever since the eclipsal war, the monarchs souls have been sealed off by esther ( misfortune ), making not even mellonia able to take their abilities away.

!! another thing to mention is that the monarchs had strong bonds with the four scholars

the gods

alright so the gods, in order of power, are:

- mellonia, the goddess of fortune ( alive - she/her )

- esther, the goddess of misfortune ( deceased, later ressurected / reincarnated - she/they )

- edite, the goddess of waves ( ??? - she/her )

- naturalis, the god of life ( ??? - they/them )

- malitia, the god of war ( rumored to be alive, any prns )

these are only the primarial gods, due to the fact that during the eclipsal war, many of the much lesser known gods died to the hands of edites nightmare and esther.

mellonia

she and esther were the two who helped create arha alongside the sky prophet ( who practically acts as the parent of all godly beings )

her powers are described as fortune, due to people relying on her for luck and the fact she made miracles happen on earth. ( for example, raising naturalis from the green forests to help with farming crops )

she doesnt have a physical weapon, instead she can form four-pointed stars that can pierce anything.

she ruled the above with esther until the eclipsal war, now, she rules alone.

esther

esther was the 2nd lieutenant colonel of the above until the eclipsal war, when she was killed by mellonia.

before she died, she was able to scar mellonia's eye with her special blue fire magic ( wink wink SAPPHIRE flames ) ( i am so horrible )

since the forming of the rebellion, she was revived 200 years after by a witch named raven.

edite

edite rules over the spectre / spectre island and was the goddess who rose it from the sea.

she was also the one who was the foundation for edite rainfall academy, and aided esther's during the eclipsal war.

during the war, when she had learned of mellonia's final crime against esther, she had snapped and the phenomenon that happened was known as edite's nightmare.

this is rumored to be the event that drowned the spectre, gave birth to the sirens, ( specifically the ningyo family of the geode reef ) and formed the tearful sea.

edite's nightmare was when edite had broken down and her tears created a giant tower of water, where she lay in the centre as the tower went higher and higher, it became colder, and with the tower trying to reach the freezing above, edite had frozen along with it.

this was proclaimed to be edite's death, however her true status is unknown.

naturalis

they were born from a grand tree split open by mellonia, to which mellonia proclaimed them the god of life.

naturalis was the god who created most of the flora and fauna you see today in arha ( and also the founder of kiria , and created the kiricks )

in the eclipsal war, naturalis aided humanity while mellonia and esther were fighting, they soon were stabbed through the heart due to malitia, however it is unknown if they are actually dead or not.

malitia

as the god of war, she was the one leading the demonic army to fight against mellonia.

he was also the one who crafted the monarchs' and scholars' weapons, trained the pearl-tailed dragon that was the scholar of the dragonlands and was close with the original mirror maiden, lynn.

after they had stabbed naturalis, she had run away, and her status became unknown ever since.

the monarchs

the monarchs, as explained above, are also gods, but with unmatched power that can be taken away. monarchs can be generational in families, but it's up to the gods whether or not that is a reality.

the most known monarch bloodline is the kemono bloodline, their monarch being the thundering daimyō, another being the gaumond bloodline, with their monarch being the floral sword

the top priority monarchs, and the ones who survived the eclipsal war being:

the thundering daimyō

the thundering daimyō was a great lord who served under edite's army and was one of edite's most devoted followers, as their name suggests, they deal with thunder magic.

the contract of desire

the contract of desire was a covenant demon who serves the lords of avalon, they were the one who wrote the history of the gods, later gaining help from mirror maiden to disguise it as a guide for the future monarchs that were to come.

the prince of greed

the prince of greed was the lord of avalon and its founder, however only called a prince due to his youthful appearance, in some ancient texts, he will also appear as "the ice prince" or "ruler of snow"

the death deer

the death deer was a surviving member of the second 2000 purge during the start of the eclipsal war, when mellonia had slaughtered 2000 demons from the surface, fearing that their hunger for blood would end humanity. the fact that the death deer was the only one able to survive intrigued malitia, who gave them the title of monarch.

the encrypter

the encrypter was a great mage who wrote countless books of spells, however, the only problem is that they were written in their made up language of ancient runes, as to make sure the mellonia would not find out. these ancient rune translations do exist, however it's nearly impossible to find them.

the floral sword

the floral sword, also known as the gaumond ( in which the family name came from ) was a follower of naturalis skilled in sword fighting, even creating a technique called 'the three acts of blossomy', that soon reached another world, becoming what's known as 'fencing' present day.

the dreamer's butterfly

the dreamer's butterfly was a creature made out of thin mist who gained life, resembling a human but also a butterfly. in tales, it is said that the dreamer's butterfly would grow to sizes unimaginable, with strengh able to destroy even a giant in mere seconds.

p3 will be the house of academia, and the schools that were created from its foundation <3

[arsokaa]

i feel like the best way to understand ones world if you insert canonical characters within them! so without further ado: if any of your favorite characters from twst were stuck in the dragon lands, how would you think they’d react? like being isekaied or whatever :0

well theres lyric ( she/it ) who is from the dragonlands, so she'd likely be a must if anyone would be able to open the gateway without its key, however since the dragonlands are primarily hot due to the high temperatures of the underground there, not many of these idiots would likely react positive to it, apart from lyric, being a dragon, it has heat resistance, also rosalynne — who literally works with fire magic, and mai — who is the heir to the name of misfortune ( reason to that will be in part 2 of worldbuilding )

[arsokaa]

hey, is it alright to send asks about your story? because it sounds awesome!!

YEAH OFC !! feel free to lawls

[arsokaa]

sapphire flames world building !?

part one atleast lmao

tw for a lot of death

I. THE WORLD

so we have arha ( earth w a ton of fantasy elements ) and in arha we have:

the deep and the above

okay so basically these are the arha versions of hell and heaven, respectively, both created by the two high goddess' ( misfortune and fortune ).

the deep and the above did not exist until the purge of 2000, in where mellonia ( fortune ) decided to uphold a law of rightness and wrongness / faithfulness and sinfulness. the law passed, and with misfortune, the two created the abyss and the above which led 1000 souls to be the first let into the above, and 1000, respectively, in the deep.

in the year of 5000 years ago ( present day ) when the eclipsal war ended, esther ( misfortune ) was killed and banished to the deep until she was revived 200 years later.

in her time in the deep, however, esther helped in making "the rebellion", in which over 10k angered souls joined her into finding ways to contact the surface. this was when she got contact with the dragonlands, and was able — right before her reincarnation — to help a dragon egg make it passed the sealed entryway.

the four passageways / dimensions

aside from arha, there exist four dimensions besides it:

- the dragonlands

- the deep

- the above

- phantom valley

as the deep and the above were talked about above, this will be centering on the dragonlands and the phantom valley.

the dragonlands, as in the name, are inhabited by dragons. during the rebellion, when they were able to get in contact with esther, she gave them a fraction of her magic for their own benefit.

this is when "opposites" were created, which were husks the dragons made of themselves back in the deep, so they could assist in the rebellion.

opposites and their respective dragons have a magical connection, that only severs if esther allows it. if she doesnt, when the dragon dies, its memories fade into the husk, however their soul will move on forward to the phantom valley.

the phantom valley is the land of lost souls, whose deaths weren't approved by the gods or who had to much willpower to not die. they remain trapped in the phantom valley, a foggy and misty place with ash-branch trees and white lilies adorning the dark gray hills of grass. to get around the thick fog, the souls will wake up with a lantern near them.

another known fact is that the number of ash-branch trees represent every soul in the valley, and whenever a new one sprouts, it means a new soul has entered the valley.

!! both dimensions have their gateways sealed, while the only ones who can unseal them are mellonia or one of the four scholars.

the four scholars

the four scholars are demigods incharge of protecting the dimensions whose key they bear, they were granted these titles by the monarchs.

in terms of ranking, the deities in arha go in the order of : god - monarch - scholar.

!! monarchs are not to be confused with nation lords

the four scholars also gave godly powers, some even bear the name of "god".

for example, the original scholar for phantom valley was the goddess of destruction, lynn ( also known as the 'mirror maiden' or 'maiden of mirrors') however she went missing 600 years after the eclipsal war, leaving in her place her apprentice who hasn't shown their face in years.

the scholar of the dragonlands is known to have been slaughtered by mellonia, in a feat of forcing the dragons to not come to arha, this is the same with the scholar of the deep, as the scholar of the above is the 2nd lieutenant colonel of the above, 1st being mellonia herself.

part 2 will be deities <3
