Make Your Own Fantasy Kingdom
Making a fantasy kingdom can be an enjoyable experience, though it may not be a short task. If you think you are creative enough, read on!
Steps
- Think of your kingdom's name and features. Coming up with your kingdom's name might be a little hard; if you're having trouble, take some name ideas from the kingdom itself! For example if your kingdom has a huge forest, you could call it "Green Shadows". You may choose to do this last if you wish.
- Choose a name and rank for yourself. You may choose to use your real name(For example, King Matthew the Strong) or make up a whole new name(Queen Matharian the Honorable). Your rank, how high of a position you have in a society, can be anywhere ranging from a peasant to a king.
- Draw a map for your kingdom. Design it however you want! You can have stables that hold animals, a village, a river, a treehouse, a castle- whatever you want.
- Create a whole variety of things in your kingdom! Buildings, animals, outlaws, or other people; You can have 3 moons and 50 suns in the sky if you want!
- Who else is around the area? Are there kingdoms opposing to yours? What are they called? Why are they trying to take over yours?
- Create more people in your kingdom. Who is the king/queen? Are there princesses or princes? Ambassadors? What other branches of royalty are there? If you'd like, you can make leaders of villages, under the king, so it's like a village representative, who can make their own laws in the village.
Tips
- You could also read a lot of books. Don't just read fantasy, though. Read anything and everything; it's the best way to get your imagination running!
- If you think you are going to keep your kingdom for a long time then you could keep a diary recording all your travels.
- Try writing stories about any of the villager's/citizen's days in the kingdom. Along with the story, you can sketch out a picture to go along with the story.
- You can watch some different movies for ideas. ("Bridge to Terabithia," "The Chronicles of Narnia," etc.)
Warnings
- Don't tell everyone about your little kingdom. They might want to be in it, or make fun of you for using your imagination.
- Careful who you imagine. If you imagine a bad guy, you have to make sure they don't have the power to beat you, no matter what!
