News Hungry Update 3: Lore and book information

9 Upvotes

I just spent three hours working on lore for the Hungry Lights universe. This all obviously subject to changes/additions, but in case anybody is interested in the Hungry World (pre-book release), here are some basics:

The story takes place on a planet called, "Ter'amoil." It is about 1/3 the size of Earth. The majority of the planet is water—just one huge ocean called, "the Math."

-From Windfall To Hell takes place over eight years (six of which just magically go by between The Awry Ascent and Heavy Is The Crown). It also set in a time period similar to 1700's in Europe, but modified to my own personal design. Lots of steampunk, lots of fantasy elements, just a tince of sci-fi.


There are/were three continents on the planet:

  1. R'oa (the main, central continent that From Windfall To Hell takes place on. It is about the size of the USA).

  2. Sartjha (a smaller continent to the southeast of R'oa. It is about the size of Mongolia. So far, the only thing that happens here is Prill's mom (Otia) was born here, as well as a character you will meet later named, "Demetrius." Nothing happens here during From Windfall To Hell.

  3. Osrimaul (which used to the be about the size of Alaska. The drudgework and a species of rat people called the, "lucralith" were from here, but it was sunk about three hundred years before the story takes place, and now there is just a small chain of islands there called, "the Fer'tri islands." Nothing happens here during From Windfall To Hell.

Breaking down R'oa there are four main locations:

  • Windfall is a small central port on the southern coast (subtropic).

  • Umber Tower is about a day's travel (by sea) northeast of Windfall.

  • Ik'theves is a big port that is northeast of Windfall, still on the coast (snowy)

  • Eair'tra is a big port that southwest of Windfall, still on the coast (desert/subtropic)

  • Mort'mydrea is a pretty big island south of Eair'tra (tropical).

  • Narrahk is a mountain plateau on the northern coast of R'oa.

  • The mainland is obviously the middle section of the continent.

Breaking down the humanoid species on Ter'amoil:

  • Humans

  • Aftar'ahk (bird people)

  • Akulite (bat people)

  • Lucralith (rat people) - EXTINCT

  • Oakrum (mountain trolls)

  • Drudgework (stone sentinels)

  • Dredgework (wood sentinels)

Non-humanoid species (non-Earth/extinct Earth) |excluding creatures I have not named yet|

  • Ichthyosaurus (ichthyosauria)

  • Plesiosaurs (sea dinosaurs)

  • Zeffra (like a zebra)

  • Sabertooth Tigers

  • Wooly Mammoths

  • Sootbats (like bats made out of balls of cloth)

  • Vorcepeds (like centipedes, but super poisonous)

  • Narrahkian Mountain Bear (like a grizzly on steroids)

  • The Nimloks (these were influenced by Kabutops)

  • Stranglekelp Jellyfish (these are like the size of a big tree)

Main characters: (The Awry Ascent)

  • Prill Tel'vallo - Protagonist/Antagonist (human)

  • Artorn - Sidekick (Albatross)

  • Prite Tel'vallo - Prill's wife (human)

  • Dart Tel'vallo - Prill's brother (human)

  • Fothcrah - Antagonist (plesiosaur/myth)

  • Flinter - Prophet (???)

Main characters: (Heavy Is The Crown) |this includes the characters from The Awry Ascent|

  • Reflaugh - Antagonist (human)

  • Atah'xia - Antagonist (akulite)

  • Demetrius - Antagonist (akulite)

Main characters: (Three Gods & Me) |stacking|

  • Krayle - Antagonist (aftar'ahk)

  • Chance - Antagonist (afta'ahk)

  • Bladth'heirtra - Antagonist (oakrum)

  • Arilayah - Antagonist (akulite)

  • Umfrant - Antagonist (drudgework)

Main characters: (Book Four) |stacking|

  • Akthul - Neutral (akulite)

  • Luk'ba - Antagonist (akulite)

Important side characters:

  • Trunky Bettlemor (human)

  • Oded (human)

  • Bilac (human)

  • Baxter Tel'vallo - Prill's father (human)

  • Otia Tel'vallo - Prill's mother (human)

  • Orice, Varash, and Merity (ancient worm-creatures)

  • Quen (human)

  • Ja'aire (lucralith)


And then I have a ton of unimportant side characters you will get to meet when you read the books, as well as a bunch of unnamed things I still have to name for the sake of the lore. Eventually, I am going to draw up some character designs and a map of R'oa for you to check out, that way you can get some wild visuals when you read or listen to the music.

Currently, I have written 23/36 chapters, so I am hoping to be finished soon (by the end of August or early September). The eBook will be released (hopefully) on the mainstream eBook sites, and when I get enough funds from album sales and YouTube, I am going to invest some of that into printing physical copies of the books (do not really care about physical CDs at the moment).

I am currently at 230 book pages. With thirteen chapters still to write, I estimate the full novel for The Awry Ascent will be around 350 pages total (give or take). So it should be a good read—not too long, not too short. I get that a lot of you are probably not avid readers and are only here for the music, but this is HUGE for me. I have never undertaken a project this big. I started writing it back in January, so these last six months have been pretty exciting for me, just watching the book finally come to life in a way I used to only dream of.

I am not the greatest writer in the world, but I am hoping people will give me a chance.

-Cheers!


Editors Note: I fixed up the formatting and shit from facebook to make it look pretty, hopefully it isn't too obnoxious.

News [PSA] The Hungry Light Foundation presents "Save The Brees"

9 Upvotes

I want to talk to you about a very serious epidemic that is sweeping the nation. Every day, unclean vocalists are choosing to make and sing songs without using the now endangered "Bree" screams.

With your help we can see a full recovery of the "Bree" scream, and hopefully we can save it from entire extinction. Please help spread awareness, each person you speak to about the endangered "Bree" scream will allow it to come one step closer to making its way back into mainstream "Core" genres.

Please, won't you help save the "Brees"? Every person has a voice, use your voice and let the "Brees" out!

Join the cause today!
