I could kiss you right now OP, for creating a single gold nugget in the midst of the current shitstorm that are our threads.

Moving on.

I propose an extreme world with fast drifting island-continents, each with their own environment, and due to their relative small size and how cut off they are from the ecosystem, evolution would be fast paced. So, basically a bunch of Australias with all kinds of weather.

>>592247328
The world is a desert - completle lack of most life - a wasteland.
However, there are hug underground aquaifiers - pools of water, that allow life to flourish above.
The islands vary in proximity, but in area's where a number are close, the inhabiants can cross the desert.
This has led to some islands become islated and unique in inhabinatnas, whereas the desert is inhabitted by very strange and dangerous creatures.

Magic requires water, which is why the world is a desert. Mages often resort to using the water in their bodies to cast spells, making them dehydrated almost 100% of the time.

As for races/civilisations I propose two.
First draconians
Descendent from crocodiles that evolved into bipedal form in their area instead of apes. They would excel in warm environments and due to their wings they would be able to glide great distances, allowing their cities to be build to work in three dimensions instead of the usual two. Society wise I see it being cold and logical, no religion, but progress is slow due to the huge amount of debate over veracity of things.

Mountainous region called Aroch.
Defined by 6 tremendously(himalayan) tall mountain ranges that form rings with kansas sized foothill/plain/forested valley type lands within. Each of the 6 regions only connects to the others through a small number of mountain passes. Each 3 of the regions are landlocked and 3 adjacent to the sea. due to the size of the mountains large rivers form and have aggressive floods during spring melts. Each region's isolation creates distinct cultures/economies from one another with lively trade/warfare between them.

I guess the most logical thing to do would to make them more habitable with water. Like crocodiles. Not sea creatures, but y'know. So they're civilizations are usually near edges of the province.

The crocodiles are unable to process plant material, meaning they must hunt and raise livestock.

They are renown for their cattle herding.

And by Cattle I mean giant sand-beetle herding.

Beetle-steaks from the croc city of Gyatark are famous.

As for hunting, they hunt the same way as Crocs do IRL: they wait and allow prey to wander next to them.
Of course, they hunt big game and disguise their hunting parties by digging in the sand.

This thread is fucking awesome.

SO IT'S TIME FOR A RECAP HERE SO FAR.

We've got the multi-dimension things. We're doing the main one which is Fantasy themed. How about some mixes of ideas. My suggestion, feel free to change:

>>592250119
Incorporate this race with these types of cities (There are many more races to make) >>592247561
Also use this for them >>592251888


Maybe incorporate the demon idea from this, and build that up later.

>>592253558
Since the main world is predominately mountainous, sure!

Looky here.>>592246661

So wait, the world ISN'T desert?

Aight.

Change the water-magic thing to be what the Crocs use. It is ONLY freshwater.

The Mermen are DESPERATE to find out how to make it work with saltwater, because if they ever figured it out, they'd pretty much win. Forever.

Also, crocs are mostly land-based.

Mermen follow Salmon lifecycles.
They are born in rivers, move to saltwater as young adults, and become freshwater when mature. They go back to the ocean after mating, and the cycle repeats for many years

Since the crocs use freshwater for magic, there is also a conflict when the crocs use up the mermen's rivers to cast spells.
Adult Mermen often raid when they go to breed.

If they live long enough the mermen permanently become freshwater, and live deep in sacred lakes.

>>592253697

I think a good thing to do is to have the huge fuck of mountains in the middle be the main province of some sort of Dwarven race. We need more races.

SPEAKING OF THAT. REMEMBER GUYS. LOOKY HERE. >>592252923

REMEMBER THE FIRST RULE ABOUT GOOD WORLD BUILDING:

Races =/= culture

There must be different and (probably) opposing cultures of each race.

Not all crocs get along, and their cultures are going to be different.

As for the futuristic dimension part of our world, I have a sugestion for the civilisation.
They started like we are, humans, but as their technological prowess evolved, the world around them died and decayed, and in the end, the enviroment was deemd too hostile for normal human life. Thankfully there was a solution, several solutions, which led to a rift in society.
In one side we have the Corporation. They were an association of of robotic specialists that proposed that human minds should be transferred onto computers and placed into mechanical bodies, as to survive without any hindrance in the wastes, with only the need of periodic maintenance. All seemed well, but eventually its followers became fanatic, and it all became a religion, with the members persuing purity by replacing more and more of their bodies...once indoctrinated no one returns

On the other side we have A faction that decided to evolve mankind itself using genetics and biochemistry, adding to their genes as to survive without further harming the planet- The clash between these two solutions was clear from day one, and it didn't take long before war broke out. Facing endless waves of logical machines their only advantage is insticnt and the ability to regenerate and reproduce normaly, each generation being stronger and stronger

Then in between we would have rebel factions trying to use both techs with huge rejection rates and purists refusing any alteration of humanity.

Here's what I'm picking up
A giant planet, covered vastly by water
>>592245360
>>592250404
1 giant continent called Aroch descirbed above
>>592245761
drifting australia type continents with their own species and habitats
>>592246107
some species moved off of the continents and made massive ships to live on
the races are still being made, the crocs are cool,and i liked the >>592249876 idea too
or maybe each race has its own advantage, like the crocs are huge and strong or some are fast, and the human race needs to be smart and rely on their building skills

>>592254711
golems and one big as fuck rock giant thats like on mythilogical scale would be really cool..i've always had a fascination with overly large creatures.

Race Idea: 4 armed elf-like race. But it's split into 2 sub-races. The first, the Knostics, are a nature/knowledge loving group that primarily live in the area where a forest meets a mountain. The main city is Pradell, the bulk of people live in the forest mountain side, but over time the Knostics have carved off huge chunks of mountain and levitated and locked them in the sky near the mountain for an expansion to Pradell. Knostics and Pradell are neutral on the trade scale, not relying on it but they are savy.
The second sub-race, are the Matoro. They were the group that originally carved up the mountain. However, the bulk of the Knostics disagreed with the destruction of nature, so the Matoro left. They found a deep old forest so that they could be left alone. There they bored into the ground to gain access to resources and build their city (think Utapau). They advanced their manipular-magic to the point where they could create automatons. In addition to the automatons, they used this magic to create enhanced armors (think LoTR meets Tony Stark).

>>592255137
I think the crocs are huge and powerful and should be the dominant race
they drove humans off of their land and that's why the humans made the mega ships
then the humans should be divided in 2 large factions
regular humans, tinkerers who rely on superior invention and technology to survive, not magic
then the other half something like this>>592254750
where these humans decided it was in their best interest to put their minds in robotic bodies

TERMITE OVERMOTHER BUMP

Termites are blind, relying on scent, pheromones, and vibrations in the earth to navigate.

Manipulating the very building blocks of the world
God Summoning
>God tier
High level alchemy
Massive Elemental manipulation
Elderich beast summoning
Pure energy manipulation
Teleportation of large objects

Stuff like that.

K since no one is doing the demons I might as well give it a go.
Okay So the demon world has been completely detached from all the other worlds in the multidimensions, and only recently a rift had opened to one of the inhabited islands surrounding the main continent of Aroch. The creatures that came out of the rift were severely weakened but still ending up destroying all life there. They don't eat or sleep and live of obtaining proteins and nutrients from fresh kills of their own kind. Hardly any civilization is formed as they all eat and kill each other, but some demons have evolved to control others thus making them a potentially growing threat to the relative peace of the world.

>>592256646
We were waiting to do other shit before the demons, BUT YES. INFO ADDED.

>>592256480
Every race can use magic

Crocs use magic powered by freshwater.

The mermen are trying to figure out how that shit works and adapt it to their saltwater environment.

WHAT KIND OF SHIT CAN MAGIC DO?

>>592256480
I think some races should rely on magic and some should rely on the technology

>>592257207
How big we looking at?

Ok I got one.

Think traditional Elvin world.
Lots of tall buildings with lots of stairs and nature all over the place.

The world is broken up into 3 contaminants, 2 of the contaminant's has 4 country's, the 3rd is ruled by one nation.

there are 3 races, elvs (Of course(They are dominant here)), Twengin (Think squid people), and androids, not half human or half evls, they are machins that have devloped there own life force and are now a form of warlock, no other race has devloped skills in magic.

The single nation contaminant is ruled by the androids as there safe haven after a great war fought with a now forgotten race, they wanted to know the secrets of magic, but the androids said it was a way of accentuation and so was not able to simply tell it to them, so they wanted to take it by force.

This nation is in the west, the 2 other small contaminants are in the east. Politics is as normal over there you may decided names and who is at war with who and what race resides where.

There is however trouble in the west that seeks your attention, a single android missing its left arm has come to your aid, this is the first time anyone has heard from them in 62 years.

Hows this?

>>592257187
Seconded

Mermen were formally conquerors, but had the shit kicked out of them by Crocs.
Now the crocs are taking over, and pushing other races out of their territory as mentioned by others.

I vote that Mermen magic is sacrifice based, to fit with the Elder God theme.

their continent drifts through it
that's when they turn into demonic creatures, turned evil from that dimension
very recently another massive portal opens up, the continent drift back into the world
scorched earth, barren landscape

>>592256537
And obviously, the higher level the magic, the more qualifications one needs to reach in order to use it. No one has been able to do more than High tier magic for hundreds of years. And just how old is this place, exactly?

There should be magic charms that can augment one's abilities. And I feel like if we have multiple races, then some should be better at magic then others. Partly because they have access to written examples of it, partly due to genetics. I feel like each race should have it's own branch of magic that it excels. in.

>>592257781
The thing is, they're patient.

They aren't berserkers or anything like that. Crocodiles don't do reckless shit IRL.

They think on timescales larger than most of the other races, and their planning is what allowed them to fuck up the Mermen.

>tl;dr
The Crocs aren't BIGSTRONK retards

>>592255962
this is fun.
For the crocs I've got 2 ideas for distinct cultures.
1) The Sik'civ: hunter gatherer nomads along the lines of the apache native american, follow migrating herds and live off of them with complex social structure but no established cities or leaders other than clan level leadership. Highly territorial over the herds they follow and prone to war.
2) The Sie'lon Fisher crocs. Live in the coastal regions and predominantly live off of fishing, harvesting deep sea animals and leviathans. Grow a type of underwater tree whoes wood is super light but incredibly hard and that produce flowers/fruits which are rare and have strange properties. Takes centuries to mature however. The sea "trees" are highly valued and make up a critical trade component for structures, weapons, and the saps/fruits for sorcery components

>>592258299
Remember, the floating shit is above the main world.

[USING THIS FOR THE CROCS INTENSIFIES]

This is what the crocs believe happens
>Spoiler
This is what actually happens when they die.

Also, the mermen eat their dead, because burying things at sea when you live in the sea is hard.
And because spooky.

Termites become one with the mountain, literally; their bodies are used by their brethren as building material.
They can feel the spirits of their dead in the very walls of their home.

I want to thank you OP, and everyone involved for inspiring me. You are all fantastic. Crowdsourcing fantasy is the main reason I play DND and such. Truly extraordinary.

Rare race essentially made up of magic, since magic itself is so undefined, these creates essentially exist with is and think with it and possess worldly matter with it. No lifespan at all, but can die if magic is used against them. Generally a peaceful people that travel alone to learn the secrets of the world, and to watch among the mortals their whole lives. Personality wise they differ greatly so some can be evil and some can be good. Already the object of some minor civilizations and tribes in the surrounding islands.

>>592259911
FUCK YEAH. YA DID IT. ADDED TO INFO.

>>592259676

>Not having necrotermites

Actually, the termites would totally use necromancy to make armies out of their dead brethren.

Individual bodies don't matter to them, since their houses are literally made out of corpses.

The World of Aroch, huh. Sounds fascinating.

>>592260060
Need to expand on magic theories

we have class system of magic tiers here : >>592256269

Howw about a limited amount of Circles of magic:
Primal, Soul/Essense magic(necromancy/Djinn makeup), Illusion
What else?

>>592259676
Of course! Since the structure of the tunnels contains the remnents of their dead the termite sorcerers can re-arrange the passages to create a labyrinth when under attack. Also can call on the structures to form spike pit traps, exceedingly smooth ramps that are difficult to walk on/climb, secrete acidic fluid that evaporates into poison (doesn't harm the termites). Also, the mermen have a type of collective memory thanks to the eating of their dead. Anybody read xenocide saga? Similar concept there.

next semester at college starts tomorrow?

cant stop getting trips wtf

>>592260668
I vote this - >>592260464

Where do the humans live again is it on floating ships?

>>592260227
Sure. They can live in the underworld

They can even be the underground version of Djinn.

There was a huge as fuck schism between the primordial magical forces at the dawn of the world (reflected and interpreted in different ways by each culture. There is almost always some form of division) that resulted in the two main "races" of dijinn.

Now they've split further, and we have both good and evil aboveground dijinn

I vote that the split was over Stasis (Demons) and Change (Djinn)

>>592259911
since this Djinn race is basically magic incarnate, they probably should have a tiny population and a ridiculously hard way of procreating like 2 djinn need to get together and split off a good portion of their magic and combine it to make another djinn. During and after, all 3 are incredibly weak since it will take some time (thinking years) for their magic to regenerate.

>>592260606
Almost missed the second one.

>>592260585
this is sick
they can change their burrows when under attack, they dont see they sense so they arent at a disadvantage but the other species would be blind and disoriented, making the termites nearly impossible to conquer

>>592260791
Massive ships in the sea, Floating islands/ships, and a bunch scattered in desolate areas hiding from other races that are stronger

>>592260791
Yes, they are nomadic ever since the draconians (Crocs) forced them out of the main continent

>>592260839
I was thinking that they are created by anomalies of the greatest kind. Djinn wouldnt like each other and shouldnt be able to procreate, but when the highest levels of spells are cast some of the world's dimension frames bend and magic warps to create their existence

I just want all y'all HIVEBRETHREN to know that I'm stealing this shit.
