Chronicles of Rumithia

Discover The Giant Dynasty: A New Epic Fantasy

This will be the first official release, the first book that I publish, the first Chronicle of Rumithia. This story came to life in an online notebook I have as world-built and mapped out timelines and events as mere lists, to explain Rumithia before and after Traitor’s Eye. Why I wrote the Giant Dynasty I […]

The Land of Vengore: A Dark and Mysterious Realm

“The land was alive, with a semi-arid climate. There was grass growing and animals about, but Alitek thought there was something strange. Something wasn’t right.“ This is an extract from my eBook, my first published release, The Giant Dynasty. This is early on in the book where the giants move to the mysterious land of […]

The Giant Dynasty

Exploring the Giant Dynasty of Rumithia

In my last blog post, I looked at the rooklins, the mystical third race of Rumithia. It rightly came before this post about the giants, as its a race that is entirely fictional and original, and thus needed more explaining. Now we come to another race of creatures, the second race after humans, the giants. […]

Who are the rooklins: the mysterious third race of Rumithia

So far in my blog posts, I’ve talked about the race of humans (which we should know really what they look like :). The giants, who we can well imagine their physical features, and I have described in other blogs as how they are fighters, they are also builders, they built much of the world […]

Challenging Monarchy in Fantasy Fiction

There are many fantasy fiction tropes that run through the genre through the ages, witches and wizards, magic, mythical creatures, dark lords and warlocks, so many to name. One of the most consistent tropes is that of royalty, kings and queens. There are bad kings and queens for sure, but I have noticed that a […]

Faith and Function: The Gods of Rumithia

“They are constantly evoked in Rumithia as people ask for their favour in battles. They never actively intervene though and retain an air of distant omnipresence.“ I must admit, in the strange, complex and random way worldbuilding occurs, at least for me, I’d not really given much thought to the role of religion in Rumithia […]

Rithagow: The White Heart of Rumithia

All paths in Rumithia lead to Rithagow. It’s at the heart of the land and centre of power Rithagow sits at the heart of Rumithia, and is literally and metaphorically at the centre of power. Rumithia can be said to have been built around Rithagow in several respects. The tower sits in a small area […]

Insignia & Identity: The Crests of a Broken Realm

In my last blog, I introduced you to the idea of Kelorne and Yonmere’s rivalry, and in the images of the two rivals, I included in the background versions of their logos. I’ve given a lot of thought to the banners and logos that are used in Traitor’s Eye and I wanted explain some of […]
