This is the most amazing and exciting event in my entire journey through the Den of Dreams: A collaboration with the one and only Elyan White, the awesome author from Phantasmagorium and Lumis. Here is her tale from Lumis, a very interesting place, residing among the stars. And to believe that Tatsuya can tour there!
We both agreed on a set of questions to create a visitorβs guide for passing tourists, so youβre welcome to embark on our adventures with us, if you think you can make the journey.
Elyan White
1. The meaning of your world. Why do you think it was given?
Cygnet. The Child of Swan.
Well, there are hundreds and thousands of name by which people call our planet but perhaps every name translates more or less into “Swan Child”. Here is a common legend about the origin that one day, on 36 Summer, Year of Turquoise Dragon (in Earth calender, 26 June 2019) I heard.
2. How did your world start?
Legends vary place to place, and from people to people. Here are a few theories I collected from my school friends of Cygnet:
Haruo: With fire of course, man.
Rin: Hmm, certainly not something I’d know! Why don’t ye go an’ check the origin stories, eh?
Edaeda: Oceans, rivers, seas and water.
3. What are the major communities?
There are three major communities in Cygnet, each with its own history, myth, culture, food, drinks and languages. There are other tribes of course, and so are other sub groups.
- Ykeadjnn: (pronounced ki-a-jin) They are the natives of the planet and cover about 70 percent of the population. Golden haired, big eyed, they live by the coasts, worship water, moon, and lord Yakae.
- Euclonic (pronounced Eu-klo-nik) They are present around 19 per cent of the population. Highly technical, adaptive, diplomatic, they live in very cold areas where snow never melts. They can speak an Earth language: English.
- Zkyeatto (pronounced za-ki-e-to) They are present around 7 percent of the population, and are often conflicting with Ykeadjnn. Dark eyed, shrouded in mysteries and legends, they live by the hills, worship nature, sun, and the fire. Two sub-groups include the creative, emotional Quya (pronounced Ku-ya) and the fiery and galiant Ywaya (pronounced ya-ya). {I am a Quya Zkyeatto, by the way π }
4. One line to describe your world?
Anything and everything is possible.
5. Your favourite place to tour in your world?
Many, many, many! I love touring in the medieval ages of Mhokaizi (pronounced Ho-kai-zi) empires, Whatou (pronounced Wa-ha-to) and Tuorin empires, and playing around our school in Linnet Town. Warrior’s Land, where Quya Zkyeatto people go after death is an interesting place too… π
Well, our journey is not over yet, there continues our path to Cygnet…
A big thank you to everyone reading and joining us! β€

This is amazing, Dragon! I told Elyan that you and her should write a book together (https://phantasmagorium.home.blog/2019/08/17/the-adventurers-guide-lumis/comment-page-1/?unapproved=274&moderation-hash=2ea60f75ab5aa352617c5d4d5f7fd96a#comment-274) . I’m sure it’d fly off the fantasy fiction shelves π Keep it up!!

World building is one of my favourite pastimes. Cygnet lore seems to be well thought up and rich, from the little I read. There’s lots of potential here for a novel.
