Whilst I have quite a few projects on the go at the moment it wasn’t too difficult to pick which world to work with for a series of blogs on world building, since my other projects are all based in various alternate realities of good old earth. The world of the Veil however, is entirely from my own imagination. The only difficulty was in picking the time frame, as it has plots going on at about three points of its history. I opted for the middle route, so this is the world as it’s seen in the Tales of The Rangers series, the project that’s currently at editing phase.
There are many countries in this world as in ours, but I’ve chosen to concentrate on the three most of the major characters are from. I might add further details of these places throughout the week, but for now, let's get the basics up and this show on the road!

Carremar:
Carremar is the greenest land in all the world . Lush rolling hills, verdant forests, mountains and lakes. What more could you need? Temperatures range from – 10 in the winter to 25, 30 if it’s a particularly warm summers day in the south. In the very north winters can reach as low as -25, and the cold can be your deadliest foe.Biggest exports
