Worldbuilders’ Logbook
Ancient Siren Society and the Aftermath of the Larian Empire
Hello all,
Some of you might know I’m part of another writing forum- the SCC- and they’re now hosting a challenge where you have to partake in various ‘quests’. The first one was to write about the history of your world, and, while I probably could’ve used what I wrote about Entoulie, I thought it’d be a good idea to expand on the lore of Allure of the Depths. So, without further ado, enjoy.
(Please note: Most of the names in this, for people and places, are just placeholders, and will be changed later on.)
The ancestors of the sirens were several cultures of fishers and divers who lived in coastal settlements or on boats at the sea at various points in the world, and spent lots of time in the waters. In these communities, shamans and mages eventually discovered…
Entoulian History 101
Hello all,
I’ve been doing some worldbuilding on the history of Entoulie, and I’d like to share what I’ve created. If anyone has any feedback, I’d love to hear it.
(Just a note: I know a lot of you are Americans/living in America, so before anyone gets confused, when I say republicans and democrats, this is entirely unrelated to the American political parties.)
The kingdom of Entoulie was first founded in the 900s, but it only started to become recognisable to Entoulie in the story by the early 1500s, when a new monarchy rose to power- the House of Leroy. The members of this family had one thing in common- purple coloured eyes. This rare genetic mutation was a dominant trait, meaning al most everyone in the family with ‘Leroy blood’ had purple eyes. They claimed their eyes had been made such by the guardian spirits of…

Wow! I love this historical blurb!! It's brilliant!!! My only bit of feedback would be how it was worded--in some places I felt like it sounded a bit repetitive wordwise (i.e. "[...] the Larian Empire faded into little more than a myth, however, the distrust and hatred between humans and sirens has never faded." and "Although the sirens would share some of their discoveries with the humans, they often withheld most of what they knew, causing an anger to brew amongst some humans.")
I also wanted to say good job on the Spanish stuff. Oh, and Adriano is a nice name, however if you want something similar but not exact, you can try Adrián or Adrià (Adrià is Catalan but is also nice.) Actually, if you need any kind of long list of Spanish or Catalan names, just DM me and I shall it to you.
