-This is a web version of the notebook that has the background to my NaNoWriMo 2016 entry //'[[https://www.wattpad.com/story/88886601-noren-the-strong|Noren the Strong]]'//, which is a medium-level fantasy story set in a world of my own creation. It's influenced by everything I've ever read, and loosely based on a Norse 10th/11th century blending with some ancient Roman, although the ships are more like 17th/18th century. Skyss is the northern state the main characters come from, but there is a whole world and other states exist, some of which will be linked to here. +This is a web version of the notebook that has the background to my fantasy novel [[https://mybook.to/Fierce|Fierce]] (released 1 May 2024).

 +=== The Skyssian Sagas ===
 +I've published one full length novel in this world, as well as some short stories. I've also outlined two further novels, and have worked up those outlines with world-building. In due course the stories will get fleshed out to the point where they can also be published. For now this is the list of published works. 
 +  * [[https://www.themself.org/2021/01/the-mothers-dream-write-club-fantasy/|The Mother's Dream]] - a creation story for the Skyssians, how they ended up with nine gods and how the world was built by the Trolls.
 +  * [[https://www.themself.org/2020/07/going-to-sea-write-club/|Going to Sea]] - another early myth of how the [[:skyss:pantheon:kari|Sea Goddess Kari]] got people to worship her, and helped them become seafarers.
 +  * [[https://mybook.to/Fierce|Fierce]] (released 1 May 2024). You can read the first chapter on my blog //'[[https://www.themself.org/2019/12/straven-ya-fiction/|Fierce Ch.1 - Straven]]'//
 +  * [[https://www.themself.org/2019/02/bjorn-the-beardless-short-story/|Bjorn the Beardless]] - I wrote some backstory for one of the main characters so that I could understand them better. There's a bit more than this, and some of it will work it's way into other stories.
