#also also thank you again for the sweet words

[thenntrewrite]

hello hello I have just discovered your project! first of all, Aleron is gorgeous--all of your art style is--but she's so pretty!! Secondly, might I beg you for some lore about your kingdom of Tintagel? I ask because I invented a kingdom of Tintagel for NNT and then got so attached to the name I started using it in original projects too lol. And I'd love to see what your Tintagel is like!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind words! And I'm always happy to share!

Lore-wise, for my Tintagel, it's run by a faerie monarch named Gorlois in a faerie country called Cornwall. Some time ago, the faeries have separated themselves by countries in their own realm (separate from Britannia that dwells in the human realm) rather than all stayed in one area. Gorlois' father (who I will dub Tintagel), once a proud warrior, took a group that wanted nothing to do with the on-going Holy War and made them a sanctuary in a country far from the Faerie King's forest (name change impending haha). The Sacred Tree, who had many duplicates of itself throughout the land, would bestow its powers upon Tintagel so he may better protect the faeries. That sanctuary grew bigger over time to the point that it became the size of a human kingdom. Tintagel had his child, Gorlois, and once dead, the Sacred Tree passed the crown on to Gorlois. And Gorlois proudly ran that kingdom until his dying breath. His kingdom was left untouched, as he had befriended Gloxinia, the faerie king chosen by the Sacred Tree at the time. Aleron, his only child, never took the throne and effectively abandoned the kingdom, though it still thrived under Malvolia... sort of. And Aleron wouldn't take back the throne until much later.

Appearance-wise, Tintagel has no traditional buildings. Bestowed with the Sacred Tree's blessing, everything was made from trees, fungus and any vegetation. Everything in the faerie realm is that much bigger to the point that instead of horses running things, it's bunnies pulling carts or fun inventions crafted from leaves, twigs and sap. Lights were fireflies trapped in flowers, flowers were used as cushions, beds were made of soft cotton, acorns were used as jars—a vastly different world from Britannia.

This is all a rough idea, but I want everything to feel very magical and different when visiting places in the faerie realm like Tintagel and the Faerie King's forest, and have some real meaty, but sweet lore behind it!
