Urtha; Volume 1: Beastiary Informum

Description

From the fantastical origins of a strange world to the mighty details of many monsters, Volume 1 of Urtha is a series of entries in a Beastiary that describe various races and creatures from a world of the same name. In the beginning, it covers concepts native to Urtha such as the fundamentals of that reality and geographical anomalies, all from an insider’s perspective with comparisons to aspects of our own world. The Beastiary is designed to categorize aspects of the creatures it covers and describe them in-depth, with some aspects similar in nature to modern fantasy and gaming. Content within Urtha includes races that are almost comical like the “Surale” or ones with exceptionally grim stories like the “Brimstoners.” With a mixture of darkness and optimism, the entries are presented one after the other with the context of prior entries giving a linear experience, though hyperlinks to different sections of the book itself are available to those searching for specific sections.

About Sean Apple

Hello there! My name is Sean Apple, but I also go by the aliases; “The Alabastar Brothers”, “Wesley Anton”, and “Lord Agamemnon.” It’s nice to meet you! As of writing this, I’m a 21 year old fantasy writer with a couple of years of experience under my belt in working on a very particular setting called “Urtha.” It started off a simple homebrewed tabletop game, but bloomed into something special as I played year after year of it with my friends. With twists and turns based off of conventional fantasy and things new to the setting, I hope to inspire others around me to role with those ideas and dive into fantasy and fiction of their own accord. And, if I can make a living off of creativity and inspiration in the process, that would make me all the happier!
