Personal project

Explorations for a world I developed in my head! Pantalea is a world where music, dance and singing all hold magic and it is the primary source for it. A place mostly rural with few big centres, the latter being places ruled/commanded by ones of the "artifacts holder". The artifacts are antique pieces who hold great power and was used (allegedly) by the gods who created the world itself in a great concert ceremony. Today this seems as an old fairy tale for putting children in awe and explain why the common folk can't reproduce the abilities of the artifacts holders.
Meara is the Grower, the only character I explored the concept until now.
The Grower is an herbalist, their artifact being connected with plants and life itself, being the great priestess/priest of the Temple of Akrida and also its supreme ruler.
The things associated with them are the dance* and the bells they use for their rituals and performance.
*the inspiration here is bharatanatyam dance and the bells they use in the performance.
These explorations now are more diverted, I wanted to see if a more "prayer" and penitence kind of character would suit the story best.
In the end I tought that was too sorrowful for this project so I didn't go with it.
