For a number of years, I've been slowly working on an original world called Panthelia. Right now, it's rather a patchwork, more a series of short stories than anything, spread across the millenia of the history of the world. The entire storyline is building to a story called the War for Panthelia, though that is still in its infancy. Feel free to email me with thoughts and constructive criticisms. The world has been evolving in various ways, and there are things in some of these stories that have changed, and some things where I developed the ideas in the midst of roleplay that will also be changed in time. It is very much a work in progress. The focus of the story is built around 3 things. First of all are the dragons, who are an ancient and powerful race able to take either dragon or human form. (The picture is of two of the Dragons, Rhoysmere and Agianna in their human form). Second are the Dragon Soulmates, a series of 10 people spread through the history of the world who are able to communicate telepathically with the dragons. The fate of the world revolves around them. Finally, are the people of the Ulurakith, the decendents of Ulura, the Woman of Sorrows (one of the Soulmates).
