Martha Jones - Jesus Christ parallels (never thought i'd write a sentence like this)
there's the other one who has sent me
For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say. (John 12:49-50)
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. (John 5:24)
I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (John 5:30b)
I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world. They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him. (John 8:26-29)
[...] for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. (John 8:42b)
etc., and so on...

Hii, I've read/seen almost anything about your high fantasy story project on Tumblr, and so I wanted to ask some questions.😅 Do you have a map for this world? And the Empire? I wonder what other countries/cultures there are, and will we see any interractions with ppl from other countries and our royal children? I don't have any other social media accounts so I don't know abt the parts you've shared more on other platforms, if you did, so idk that much about the other main characters either.
What are the different kingdoms/nations that are under the Empire's control now? Are they treated well? And you mention other species/races sometimes, where do they originate from or where do they live? Do they have their own countries or do they live in forests etc?
I'm sorry, it's just I'm loving your character work and worldbuilding so far, and I want to learn more. I think you've done a great job at crafting this world and the cultures and all the details!💚🤍
Hi! Thank you for your interest! I am really bad at posting the info consistently in one place, so thank you for being patient enough to search for it! I have a sketch of the Map, but I dont want to post it until I finish writing the plot. In case, I would need to change some details for the story. There are a lot of cuts and switching details back and forth. Yes, there are other cultures, and it will be shown a little in story. Some characters in the main cast are people from foreign cultures by origin. Empire currently has 11 provinces, 10 of which formed out of joined/conquered lands. They are quite different in culture, they treated differently depending on their importance and loyalty to the Emperor. Even though central power allows people to continue practice their own customs, they try to maintain same set of laws and administrative structure everywhere. Yes, I have other species/races. And they will be shown in the story as well. Humans are dominant sentient species, but a few others also were able to preserve their own states. It is believed that humans are the youngest ones, and in many human religions it is stated that other species were children of Old Gods, which create natural conflict between them and humans. (Other species usually don`t agree with this understanding.) About interesting places, I have one species that live in crystal caves most of the year, and they build underground cities. ;) Thank you so much! I am trying my best to actually write the story, so I can share it not only in random sketches and texts.
