This is a new series of articles wherein I give a little inside peek to where some of the ideas for the places, people, and plots for Maldene came from. A quick little tour of the inside of my mind. An odd place, so be careful of where you step. For this first installment, I …

Characters Of Maldene: Quickfoot And Blag-ak
Two of the characters of the epic Maldene cannot be told of separately, for they run together much like Mutt and Jeff of the comics of old. An odd team, they are part beloved characters and part comic relief. Blag-ak is a large ogre with a vocabulary that only allows him to utter about four …
Places On Maldene: My-Thov
The world of Maldene is a big world with some big continents, but none so big as mighty My-Thov. Home to a wide range of terrain, it is also a key area strategically and hence one of the first places to be targeted by our resident bad-guy, Miro. The Great Desert can be as dangerous …
Plot Talk: Language on Maldene
I have made posts before regarding designing a language for your fictional world, so now is the time for a concrete example, in the form of my own. Yes, Maldene has a dictionary, and even an alphabet. You can download the font file for the alphabet in the Downloads section of www.maldene.com, but for the …
Races of Maldene
Maldene is a world of many races. Even just with the Human races the list is quite long. I shall not list all the races running around, but simply a few highlights and save the rest for revelation within the books of Maldene. So herein I list just a few of the Human races to …
Characters of Maldene: The King
Of course every fantasy world has its kings, but this is one in particular. Known only as “The King”, his given name as unknown as his past, it is said he was found as a young child wandering in the woods then raised by the peasants who found him. He rose to become King of …
Characters of Maldene: Miro
Every good epic has its villain, and for Maldene this is Miro (pronounced MY-RO). His origins unknown, his power undeniable, he is the most evil, most feared being on Maldene… or perhaps any other world. Power enough to conquer the world, and yet he has not, though his appearances throughout History have demonstrated his desire …
Characters of Maldene: Sindar
A shy young wizard, almost as highly intelligent as his friend Sabu, who also happens to be just a bit psychic. How far can he stretch this psychic potential? Who knows. What is known is that the verbal exchanges between these two intellectual giants can often be exceedingly frustrating for Eldar who prefers more simple …
Characters of Maldene: Bronto
Every story needs its strong man, and for Maldene, Bronto is it. A normal enough Human but for two shining attributes. The strength of an ogre and strong enough in combat, yet he would just as readily prefer to win a battle by way of a tavern and a good stout mug. Spend the day …
Places on Maldene: The Sea Of A Thousand Islands
The name pretty much says it all. A vast sea south f the Great Whirlpool, with the massive continent of My-Thov on the west and the Lamicas on the East, the Sea of a Thousand Islands is so named because of the vast number of islands within it- said to be at least a thousand …
