Ah, yes, high or low fantasy, the debate of my own works as well. Though sometimes I forget that I’m writing fantasy completely, so perhaps I’m more on the latter end of things. Your tribes sound so cool! Do you have main characters from each different tribe? And those are quite an interesting combination of cultures! And I’d love to see those eras mixed together! Should prove to be highly interesting.
Thank you! Kinda! I have six main characters, but only three are POV characters and I do have a definite main character, the others are in between main and side characters.
The six main characters are each from a different tribe, so I’m only missing one tribe, but it’s geographically quite far from the main events, so it makes sense.
It’s quite amusing to put all of them together since you get conversations like “Why do you guys knock before you go in? That’s so rude!” “Wait, you don’t?” and I’m severely tempted to write a heated discussion on whether oral or written storytelling is more important XD Stuff like that amuses me XD
Some tribes do get way more screentime than others, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t have favorites XD Some just have a cooler aesthetic or setting than others.
The idea with the era is going to be really tricky since I’m trying to combine an Art Noveau style with the golden age of piracy. The tricky thing about this is that it’s set before any kind of Industrial revolution, so I have to figure out how the Industrial revolution impacted society and subtract that from the Edwardian era, and figure out how that works, so that should be interesting/complicated XD Still, I’m trying to save that idea for later XD
