World design 1 - snow town

First town (Victorian,steam)

Layout: a steampunk inspired building similar to Big Ben surrounded by more fantasy looking steam based houses

The Big Ben building will be the chiefs home and will have large mechanical wheels and cogs surrounding it as a few pipes release steam down forcing it into the ground

The pipes leading into the ground are for the towns heating system as they rely on big bens warm steam to survive the harsh cold of the surrounding area

Main type of path in village: advancement as they use magic to manipulate the steam as a form of jobs and to train young characters without risk of damage to the environment and as an easily accessible way to do so

Creatures in surrounding area: (must have reason for evolution)

Form-wolf: this wolf is 1.5 times the size of an average wolf and has evolved to be able to use natural elements to manipulate its own form in-between a fluffy sheep and a vicious wolf by doing this they can keep warm and fool prey easily and then attack with ease after moments of gaining the prey’s trust.

Behemoth: this humanoid creature has adapted to the cold and blends in using its white fur coat as camouflage within snowstorms when it mainly hunts, its weakness is heat as its body has adapted too well to the cold to the point it can’t stand heat making it pass out swiftly from heat stroke whenever exposed to above freezing temperatures

Crinitus phoque: this seal has evolved alongside humanity and due to this they adapted to the warmth of the village allowing them to stay more protected but the fish they they eat can only be found outside of the village so although they live in the village for protection they need to go into the wild to get their meals daily, they also can only stay in cold water for an hour now and cannot enter the water until they’ve been standing in the cold for 15 minutes to adapt so they don’t die to thermal shock

Characters in village:

Chief: the village chief “princeps” is a strong man covered in wolf hide as a way to protect against the cold following the path of strife, using this path he has gained the skill “Lord of cold” this skill grants the user significant reduction in temperatures so he feels warm at all times and cannot die easily to temperatures. His weapon of choice is twin daggers made out of form-wolves fangs, these daggers have the words truth and justice engraved on them, one word on each.

Venator: the villages famous hunter, he doesn’t just hunt meat he hunts berries and any edible food he can get his hands on, he tries to sell his stock at double the standard price to traveler’s who happily take the trade as a bargain due to the intense cold, due to this he is constantly harassed by he chief into lowering his value. He follows the path of reason and his weapon of choice is throwing knives carved out of behemoth bones, his skill is “survival instinct” this skill allows him to sense when something edible is nearby but doesn’t determine what it is so there’s been more then once when he’s accidentally tries to take on a pack of behemoths thinking they were going to be berries.
