I'm currently in the depths of research for this setting. I already have 20000 words of subcreation in my Scrivener folder for the three lands, but I'm not quite there yet.

That might seem crazy, but the last steps are to source a professional map-making software (I've spent 3 hours last night watching Youtube reviews and reading through anecdotal blogs) and I'm thinking about the one-off purchase of the software WONDERDRAFT.

Here is a blog that helped me decide if you're interested: https://blog.worldanvil.com/2020/03/12/map-making-software-for-worldbuilding/

I have a basic paper map ready drawn, but I'm not an artist and want to get a basic full continent drawn (with basic notes about the people and cultures of far off nations from where the first trilogy will be set), and then the region where this story is set which is also where I'm setting my trilogy.

Unfortunately, You ain't going to see any more of this world on hive, I have already put too much of snippets of this setting up here on hive that I risk making agents or publishers uncomfortable about accepting a manuscript, I might even have to drop the character of Arktel from the first novel. I am very serious about getting this published through mainstream routes. I'll let you know when the book comes out ;-)
