Drows, Dragons and Imaskari

The journey of writing my first fantasy novel.

Step 6 continued

Okay, so this is what I've got so far for the first bullet point.  I tried to do it as just more points, but writing a narrative made the ideas flow easier.  I'm also trying to not get too narrative because I don't want to get into truly writing.  I just want to get ideas down-what is the scene, what is going on, what do we see.  I'm still not sure I don't want to just jump into writing, but I'll stick with it a little longer:


A small farming village in Thesk, along the foothills of the Dragonsjaw Mountains


Along the Dragonsjaw mountain foothills, there is a small faming village named XXXX.  Going about their normal day-to-day business they never expect any trouble.  It’s a fairly peaceful area.  There are some dragons in the mountains, plenty of copper dragons, a few red dragons, but none ever bother the tiny village.  It’s too small to be worth their while.  Occasionally a copper dragon will play a few tricks, but even that is rare.  It is a typical picturesque day in the village when a child spies a shape in the sky.  He tugs on his father’s robe and points up.  The father recognizes it as a dragon and sounds the alarm, yelling to the villagers that it is a dragon.  The villagers begin to rush around getting kids into the houses and the few valuable horses into barns so the dragon doesn’t see them and is tempted to eat them.  The village isn’t in a total panic because they’ve only had interactions with copper dragons, so they’re relieved when a copper dragon flies into sight.

The Story

Once, the Imaskari were a great nation. In Deep Imaskar in the Underdark, the Imaskari are growing more and more resentful of the High Imaskari above the surface. They want to reestablish their old empire. To accomplish this, they have made a deal with the evil red dragons. In exchange for the destruction of their foes, the metallic dragons, the red dragons will help wreak havoc on those inhabiting the ancient lands of the Imaskari.
