Summer Camp Pledge 2024
Here we go! Summer Camp 2024! We are aiming for Gold this year and I will primarily be focusing on Hallowed Legacy, specifically the realms of Linndorcha, Valjeta, and Aga. I may also make some additions to Saga, Inevitable, and the Lost Stars depending on how the prompts strike me.

Change
Change is one of the major themes of the realms of Hallowed Legacy. Especially along the Shattered Branch, these worlds experience great upheaval that affects everything from the people and their cultures to the physical worlds and the magic that shapes them. For this week's homework, I spend some time updating the Meta and I have specifically updated the Inspiration section of that document. I've linked some of the music and games that are particularly inspiring right now in the sidebar.Refuge
Another recurring theme baked into Hallowed Legacy is the idea of that safe haven amid the storm. From quiet, rural hamlets to cities of the Chosen Dead, there are places to shelter from the chaos of war and wild magic.
This week's homework is effectively done for this world since I've already found my accountability community on Discord and the magnificent Oneriwien has done my fabulous CSS! That being said, I am still going to do a bit more work on polishing some layouts and creating some Summer Camp-specific banners for use later. I have also chosen Camp Chill as my allegiance!
For this week's homework, I have gone through my inspirations and added more to the Meta. I have a few more maps to add as well. Here is a little regional map of Sitaar in the realm of Valjeta which is a location of heavy focus right now due to a game we are hosting in this region.
Belief
Gods, divine powers, and religion play a large part in the worlds of Hallowed Legacy. From warring pantheons and meddling deities to unknowable Titans and the very weight of souls affecting the realms, there is much to discuss with this subject.Crown of Nesmerleth by Kayla Perisho-Denley

Decay
One of the most present themes of the worlds of Hallowed Legacy is the constant reminder of ages passed. The realms along the Shattered Branch are especially affected by the forces of decay from the direct influence of Those Below who tug at the strands connecting those worlds to the World Tree to the everpresent ruins and the shadows that haunt them, reminding the living of what awaits all things.

Copper Change
8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Tumultuous times are interesting moments to set stories in, whether they be due to natural disasters, sickness, conflicts, or others. Characters face unusual challenges, infrastructure breaks down, and society as a whole can change.
Change can be big and small—from the size of a small community or city to the entire universe—, and it can be positive and negative.
Silver Refuge
8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Where do you go when everything around you changes? A refuge can be a literal place (like a building or a city), but it can also be anything that keeps you safe or comforts you. The change someone takes refuge from can also be small in the grand scheme of things—sometimes, small changes can have deep consequences on a specific person or group.
Gold Belief
8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Religious belief is a foundational element for many cultures, but belief doesn't have to be about religion! Beliefs can be about superstition, urban legends and myths, people you believe in, and more. Essentially, anything and anyone that inspires people, for good or ill.
Diamond Decay
8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Most things decay over time, but, just like all other themes, decay can be understood in a multitude of ways. There's physical decay, but there's also moral decay—both often go hand-in-hand with old organizations, and physical decay can be used as a metaphor for moral decay. And decay isn't always a bad thing - an evil empire might crumble so something better can flourish. Think about how people in your world try to prevent decay too!
