Dragonguard Progress Report (DPR-27)

> Issue 27 - WorldEmber is coming...

Follow the Root Directory for my worlds, updates, challenges, and more!

October was.. something. The Spooktober prompts were tricky this year! Some life things with family have kind of drained me of energy last month, but I still managed to do enough of the prompts to get the badge! :)

I also added a new map to my world! For a while, I’ve wanted to do what I’ve seen in some games like The Elder Scrolls Online, where you can click on a continent, and it brings up a more detailed map of that area. I found out that the map-making program I use can finally do this! I don’t know when it was added, but I randomly discovered that I can make a new detailed map based on a selection on whatever current map I have open. Using my world map, I did this with the Shattered Archipelagos area. I had a fun time coming up with names for islands and waterways on the map!

I also made a time zones overlay for the world map! I’ll update it as I add more things to the map, as time zones follow borders and whatnot and aren’t just straight lines. It’s hidden by default, so you have to turn it on in the layers menu in the top right.

I don’t think I’ll be doing NovelEmber this year, just too much going on right now and I don't have the energy for it. I may add some stuff to characters or whatever, but I’m not going to make it a goal or track it for NovelEmber. However, I will take part in the WorldEmber prep. So many more things have been added to my create backlog, mainly because of the detailed map of the Shattered Archipelagos, haha.

Also, side note, World Anvil now has a word tracker in the manuscripts! But, only you can see it. If you have a public NovelEmber page to share your progress, I made a word goal tracker statblock the other year that you can put in such an article! Here's the guide on how to set that up.

SC Prep and Homepage 3.0!

Yay! Finished the final week of Summer Camp prep :) GIMME THE PROMPTS

Also, the other day, I completely reworked the Legends of the Dragonguard's homepage! It's so much cooler now, and it's what I've wanted it to be like for a while! I hope you like it, and I hope the CSS is all good haha. There may be a few things to tweak still, but it should be pretty much finished.

You can check it out now! :)

100 Followers! And my Travel Guide

Firstly, I'd like to say AAAAHH THANKS FOR 100 FOLLOWERS ON MY WORLD!! <3

Secondly, I just published my hitchhiker's guide to my world! It's more or less done, but I still may tweak some things. Now I've got to work on some of the settlement articles that are linked from it, they are quite out of date haha.

This guide is aimed to be a little bit of a guide for the Postcards collectibles I added recently (I will add postcards to settlement articles soon), as well as for some Dragonguard history, and to experience visiting various places across my world. I hope you enjoy!

Dragonguard's second birthday!

Wow, it’s been two years already. On this day, two years ago, I randomly started the Legends of the Dragonguard world.

The past year has been lovely! While I didn’t create as many articles as I did in the first year, the quality of them has certainly improved. And, I also got invited by some fellow Anvilites to join the Story-Tellers Circle <3

I would have liked to write more articles this past Summer Camp, but I was away from home most of the month with a family reunion and a week-long vacation at the end of the month. I actually got my first tattoo at the family reunion! - sibling tattoo of our birth order on the wrist. The symbol in the place of my birth order (at the bottom because I’m the youngest) is a little dragon, of course!

WorldEmber 2025 saw a huge increase in species, particularly with the dragonkin. Six (6) whole new dragonkin types, with one of them having 20 species! It was a blast creating more dragonkin, as I had not done much of that earlier in the year. Legends of the Dragonguard now has 18 dragonkin types with a total of 59, including species and subspecies!

Another year has passed, and Legends of the Dragonguard is almost at 100 followers now! (5 more needed at the time of posting this) I could not have imagined making a world that so many people would be interested in following. Thanks for all the likes, comments, and stickers! <3 Also, within the past year, I started a new world, which I never planned to create more than one. But it just kinda happened. So that’s cool.

Here’s to another year!

Fly high, Guardians! o7

P.S. I’ve got a Discord server for anyone who wants to join :3 And there are actually some people there now! :) (I swear some day I'll have dragon-themed emojis and stuff. I know I keep saying it, but.. Some day™)
