Summer Camp Pledge 2023
It is time, once again, for the wonderful, beautiful, glorious Summer Camp! I have attempted Diamond several times before and I have yet to really manage it. I am going to aim for Gold at least this year, and hopefully, I'll be able to pull off a Diamond miracle. The primary world I'll be working in is Hallowed Legacy, specifically the realms of Linndorcha, Shira'tol, and Aga. I will also possibly add some stuff to the The Lost Stars, Inevitable, Saga, and The Darkening of Thra.

Waves and Themes
Copper - Power
There are numerous powerful organizations in the realms of Hallowed Legacy. Some of them are dedicated to the gods, others are bent on mastering the arts of magic, and still others seek to rule. There are still tons of details about the gods and powerful organizations that need to be fleshed out. In the realm of Linndorcha, for example, there are several factions of Fae and different ruling kingdoms of dwarves and humans, all of which I need to work on. I especially need to determine the conflicts and relationships between these different kingdoms. There is also raw power, mostly magic. The flow of magic is very important in Hallowed Legacy and each realm has its own relationship with magic and how such power affects the realm in question.Silver - Frontier
There are so many places in the realms of Hallowed Legacy that could count as a frontier. In Shira'tol is Wayward, a desert of black sand and howling hoodoos that guards one small bastion of refuge for defiant souls. Ior has the Brazen Coast, home of the largest Minotaur settlement. And in Aga, the bone coral fortress of the sea tyrants still haunts the east with its hollow, empty eyes. While there are many different physical frontiers in Linndorcha, we can also talk about the metaphorical frontiers of technology and alchemical advancements. The mechanical Factotum assist human society with everything from labor and security to entertainment. And the Humerous Masters continue to make impressive strides in alchemical medicine, bringing health, beauty, and even, if the rumors are true, eternal youth to the masses.Gold - Relics
There are plenty of options to flesh out when it comes to the relics of the past. There are objects made by the gods like the Ashen Archons of Shira'tol. Relics of the ancient Fae of Linndorcha like the blooded window and glass swords. And, of course, there are countless mysterious contraptions left behind by the Eroberan empire which can be found scattered throughout all of Aga.Diamond - Communication
From secrets hidden in the threads of clothes to drums that echo across mountain ranges, there are so many different things to explore with communication. Ior has the language of Moths, spoken only by those who learn the secrets of the goddess of magic. The Huntsmasters of Linndorcha have silent signs they use to relay orders while on the hunt. In the high courts of Balonnor, communication is the greatest tool and weapon for those vying for the throne. And control of communication allowed the Eroberans to snuff out all cultures but their own. I can't wait to explore this prompt more!Progress
