The Intiation

Aandurea formed in my mind about 5 or 6 years back, I had just read The Lord of the Rings for the fourth or maybe the fifth time and was wondering how ca you logically explain the existence of the various races, who would scientifically and anatomically possible and as I started writing them down, it slowly started to come to me. Thus the seven species were born, in fact there were earlier nine species but I discarded the last two after a few days as I found them to be a bit too preposterous, thus I landed up with the seven species although I further divided them into sub races and the complexity in their individual societies came much later.



earlier I had put great importance on the human society, dividing into the various clans but after evolution this faded into almost nonexistent, however I decided that history of Aandurean Humans would show these clans, also the very first plot that I had developed was more suited to the the archaic society also the later plots were more complex, and unlike the first one, did not give much importance to chivalry, which the earlier plot had a great amount , also the races were distinctly separate, while later the world of Aandurea is pretty cosmopolitan.



Another very interesting thing that I observed was that the evolution of magic was simply breathtaking, earlier magic was in it's crude form acting as an personification of the power of mind and also the uncertain and unpolished practise of raising demons....on the contrary The modern age of Aandurea has immensely complex and extremely highly developed disciplines of magic, dividing itself into schools and sub schools and different philosophies which are race specific; philosophy specific; and also being specific, yet not everything is discovered and it is still shrouded in mists.

Science has also evolved during the ages, in the earliest ages there are instances of using either flying creatures or flying crafts but later on it becomes more and more common, in fact one of the most powerful weapon in the antagonist's arsenal was something which, in the later age although stays as an ultimate weapon yet has become pretty common and not one of a kind.

Geography changes the names of the places stay similar yet distorted and also the explorers find out other realms outside the Aandurea and later these realms also come and actively gets involved into the adventures, the lands are distorted over time and certain magical explosion from the past also creates mutations.

all in all Aandurea grew out of everything I had ever dreamed of...

Thus the sagas of the Aandurea begins.....
