Logi’s parents were

… neither the first to leave the country for this reason nor the last. Their options for escaping lonely fate were very limited. In theory, they could have bought their way out if they had the means for such an opportunity. Lacking knowledge of the experiences of others, they blindly decided to flee the country.

The victim of security…

… and prosperity in the small country, even for the poor, was to leave child rearing entirely to the state government. The parents often had no contact with their children for several years, and also after the initial training. Because although the restrictions were relaxed after graduation, many sons, and later also daughters, were so alienated from their families that they did not want to make any contact.

As far…

as he can remember, Logi has always lived in the mountains. But it wasn’t quite true, because his parents had a moving past behind them. They fled from a small town far from the mountains before he was born. They had already lost one child to the royal guards and had no intention of sacrificing more children for their prosperity. His brother Namir sometimes wallowed in his sleep and when Logi, awakened by it and asked him what was going on, Namir only waved it off. Fredold and Nadla, Logi’s parents, managed to hide a child from the guards, but only because they lived in one of the suburbs far from the center of the country. In doing so, they took a high risk of not only losing the child, but also losing their own freedom.

The hills of Ur

As far as the eye can see, Ur has given man the land. His symbol, His Monolith, rests in the middle of the country. Once a year, Ur leaves his kingdom of heaven and shows himself to his people. People gather around the Monoliths 5 days before his appearance and pay homage to their God. In a ceremony, gifts for Ur are prepared and brought to the circle. When He goes to the last ceremony on the fifth day, He takes the presents and people get his blessings for the coming year.

Unfortunately, there are always efforts by groups that do not follow the ceremonies. These groups are hunted and punished by the higher lords. Unfortunately, it is not always clear who does not bring enough awe to the Gottwesen Ur. For this and other reasons there are always large-scale migrations in the country. You could also call them refugees. Many hide in forests or old ruins of so-called artifacts or witch hunters. Our adventure begins in such a ruin. Although not actually in the ruins, but a little off in the mountain forests.

Our hero is called Logi. Just that he is not a hero and I do not mean that he has not figured it out yet. But he is young at years and every life is an adventure somewhere.

Der Zweck diesen Blogs / The purpose of this blog

Ich habe eine unausgegorene Idee „entwickelt, die ich mithilfe diesen Blogs realisieren will. Ich nenne sie bewusst unausgegoren, weil ich mich dazu noch nicht äußern will. Was bereits feststeht, sind die „Rahmenbedingungen“ und sie kann ich schon mal nennen. Mein Projekt hat zwar einen Hintergedanken, es ist aber nicht finanziell. Es wird auch keine Lobbyarbeit, hat nichts mit Religion oder Politik zu tun. Mein Vorhaben ist im Grunde sehr simpel und gleichzeitig echt kompliziert, deswegen habe ich mich davor gesträubt, es bereits früher zu beginnen. Ich werde eine Fantasygeschichte erfinden, um meine Englischkenntnisse zu erweitern und zu vertiefen. Vor allem grammatikalisch brauche ich Nachhilfe, und diese will ich mir selbst gewähren. Noch arbeite ich viel mit Google, das soll sich aber ändern.

I have “developed” a half-baked idea that I want to implement with the help of this blog. I deliberately call it half-baked because I do not want to comment on it. What is already certain is the “framework” and I can already name it. Mine project has an ulterior motive, but it is not commercial. It will not be lobbying, it has nothing to do with religion or politics. My project is basically very simple and at the same time really complicated, which is why I refused to do it earlier. I’m going to invent a fantasy story to broaden and deepen my knowledge of English. Above all, I need grammar tuition, and I want to do this myself. I still work a lot with Google, but that should change.
