I took this picture while in Arizona, USA. In my books, one of my fictional nations is called ‘Antropka.” This photo reminds me of Antropka. It is a dry and poor country. However, there are a few areas that still harbor life. I can imagine my main character looking out a bus window and seeing such a landscape while she travels deep in the mountains of this foreign land.
The main nation in my novels is called “Cadona.” It is very industrialized. I took this picture of a strange tower I saw while on a trip. The structure would fit right in to a Cadona cityscape.
I have many bad-guy characters in my books. I took this picture to show a bad guy in the shadows who is spying on you 🙂
This picture of alligators gives me inspiration when I write about my fictional nation of Togna.
Togna is a land in the middle of the “Lost Hemisphere,” so it has many of its own unique forms of life.
I took this photo on a trip to Florida. I haven’t spent lots of time in places with “gators,” so they are exotic to me. In my novels, most of my characters would find Togna exotic.
I was walking near the coast, and this view jumped out at me. It reminds me of a region called the “Lowlands” in my fictional country of Domataland. The main country in my Toxic Sphere novels is Cadona. Domataland is the “enemy nation” in the story.
One fictional country in my “Toxic Sphere” book series is called Fletchia. It is a mountainous land.
I took this picture while on a high-country hike. The scene reminds me of a place that a person might see in Fletchia.
The primary fictional nation in my novels is called “Cadona.” It is big and mighty, but in decline. The air, land, and waters are polluted in most of its territory. This image reminds me of what much of the capital, Cadona City, looks like.
The Lotish religion is the oldest known surviving faith in the Primary Hemisphere. Only tribal religions from Togna in the Lost Hemisphere are older.
The Lotish faith is practiced around the world, but it is the predominant faith in Domataland, Izvyona (including the Bakhadaland breakaway region), and Fletchia as well as other surrounding nations.
The primary tenet of the faith is the belief that all things are connected under God. No one part of creation is greater or lesser than another.
The Holy Triad is the most ancient symbol of the faith, and it represents the elements of God’s creation:
The symbol of the Holy Triad from “Reflections on the Holy Triad”
The Kettish religion is the fourth oldest religion still practiced in significant numbers today.
It is practiced around the world, and is the predominant religion in Visstel and Antropka. Until year 1006 of the Enlightened Epoch, it was the largest religious denomination in Cadona. It is currently the second largest faith in Cadona, and it continues to lose members in that country.
The True Followers of God Church is the largest religious organization in Cadona. The religion is just forty years old. Pastor Leon Walls is one of the founders of the faith, and today he is considered its leader.
