I feel so called out. I keep reminding myself to build what I need. 🤣
Don't feel called out, I do it myself. I have a glass smith guild on a continent that barely features in my series that I have a complete history for. I fell down a rabbit hole and just couldn't stop myself. You are not alone!
That premise of the opening reminded me of my BBEG in DND named ‘Lord Edge’. He was a black metal bard that basically cosplayed as Sauron essentially
Haha that intro cracked me up! I've seen it so often. I started using random setting generators to see if my RP group would move away from two-sidesing everything. It just made them say things like "So the nation has a thriving apothecary industry? BIG PHARMA!" or "So...they're evil blacksmiths though!"
hahahahaha, sometimes there is no winning with players.
I'm about 1:40 into the video and already love it. Looking forward to the rest!
I created a ton of worldbuilding for my stories and do a lot of what you mention. Now I want to write retrospection stories that actually show the history happening. Problem is, I fear my initial stories will spoil too much of it so that people would want to read the retrospection stories.
Thanks Marie! I had considered some of these things for my factions, but others I had not.
Another excellent video. Thanks for the naming advice.
You're welcome :D

Honey badger don’t give a (f)uck
Meanwhile here I am referring to my countries as the Union(name pending) and southern empire(name pending). The Union destroyed other revolutionary states and internal groups that came from the same revolutionary wave and had similar ideas, but had other ideological differences. Think of the Russian Revolution and fellow socialists being purged by the Soviets due to differing goals and details. This is the "evil" faction that the other countries fear and hate. Meanwhile, the Union views the others as evil and backwards for using aristocracies and monarchies. This is where the flamethrowers and artifact burning enter. This is how the Union treats the perceived threats and so called wrongthink. 🔥 📖 ☦️🔥 There's also someone related to the southern empire that survived the events leading to the Union's founding(His and other royal families got the Romanov Treatment). I'm still having trouble with naming countries and characters, which doesn't help when I've got maybe six empires and many smaller countries in my setting. 😂
"I serve the Empire."
"Which empire?"
"The Empire!"
"Which empire? There are at least 6 of them! 🇺🇲🇷🇺🇨🇳🇬🇧🇫🇷🇲🇳 Be more specific!"
😂 This also reminds me of a joke I heard:
🇬🇧: "We worship God!"
🇮🇳: "Which god?"
🇬🇧: "God, the one true God."
