Talos

A high-fantasy world taking shape from the ground up.

The project

About Talos

Talos is a high-fantasy worldbuilding project being developed from the physical world outward. Its exact direction is intentionally open while the geography and core lore take shape.

The current foundation includes four established continents — Vardryn, Elarion, Norvayne and Thalara — along with a natural climate and biome distribution and custom regions such as enchanted forests, ashlands, misty moors, crystal wastes, frozen wastes and the Feywild.

Magic, fantastical creatures and possible fairy-tale and Grimm-inspired elements are all in scope. The current stage is focused heavily on physical geography before the world's peoples, politics, history, religions, stories and other layers are built outward.

Where the world lives

This page is the doorway, not the encyclopedia.

The John Paris site keeps the creator-side overview of this project. The dedicated Talos website is where the world itself can expand — lore, maps, stories, artwork, archives and whatever comes next.
