The Journey of a Dynasty.

As some may have seen in my signature I'm in the process of putting together a dynasty to eventually replace the Sights and Sounds one that I have going at the moment, the dynasty (title unknown as of yet) will be about a fictional country called "Skelphland". Anyway when I've done a dynasty in the past I've always wanted to explain the reasons behind the dynasty and how I go about creating it hence the journey of a dynasty, reason I've never done this before is that I thought it would bore people and turn them away from reading my dynasty but with the blog option it gives people the choice of reading about the creation of the dynasty or choosing not to.

It not only gives people an insight into how I've gone about creating the dynasty but also gives me something to look back on and even let me understand how I went about it, so firstly onto the insperation behind the story. I've always wanted to create a world or nation and on reading Eugene Church's excellent dynasty combined with the love of Tolkien's work this is how the insperation came about although there are no hobbit's, dragons or giant eagles I'm sorry to say.

One thing it does have though is plenty of cities, towns and villages and I mean PLENTY, when I did a rough draft of the nation it contained over 3,500 cities, towns and villages but I didn't feel it was big enough for the story to build with age so I scrapped that first draft and came up with another draft or at the moment just an idea as I've just started to build the city, town and village text file with at a rough count will take in around 15,000 cities, towns and villages.

Anyway for those interested I'll be updating this every other day or so dependant on the time I can open up to working on the dynasty, thanks for taking time out to read this and the upcoming story.
