Shared World
Castles come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are imposing monoliths; their high walls both for defence and containment, with narrow slits for windows and with spikes instead of handles. Others are regal affairs, grand and open with large doors and windows, a sign of the nations utter lack of fear at being attacked.
Castles come in all shapes and sizes.
Large, small, pearly white, and pitch black. Circular, square, oblong and irregular shaped. Some are built atop great cliffs or at the base of them keeping the rock to their back. Some are built at the end of rivers and some surrounded completely by water but none of them fly.
Not even this one, tethered to the ground by great promethean chains with it’s turrets scraping the underbelly of the clouds. This is not a flying castle, that would be ridiculous, this is a library.
ABOUT OUR SHARED WORLD
For a while now, we at Scribes have bandied about the idea of creating (as a group) a shared world in which to set stories.
It was an idea we’d often wistfully refer to over a shandy or two, it was a pie in the sky idea until recently but now it is a lot closer to being reality.
Over the course of three sessions we have gone back and forth in discussion about what this shared world will be, the rules, the look, the setting etc.
STORIES SET IN OUR SHARED WORLD
Castle of Books by Stuart Hughes – provides a fantastic introduction to what the library is all about.
The Sin-Eater’s Apprentice by Peter Borg and Stuart Hughes – is a fairy tale.
This page will be the home for all confirmed information about the shared world. More detailed information can be found on the Shared World Wiki: Floating-Castle.
