In my mind Alagossia is a spherical planet, and yet this is my story. So, for shits and giggles, it could be a damn cube.
I am overthinking it and I know that! Yet the Mist (the air) on Alagossia is so wacky and unhinged, but the planet’s shape could play a bit of a role. Yet it doesn’t even matter since it’s fictional.
So, to hell with it, Alagossia is an enormously massively big ass plant in the shape of a cube that has very dense rings that are bigger than Saturn times ten.
Why the rings, it poses as the other dimensions that the other Saints and other gods dwell? They are only viewed by the First Ones and First Children, who actually live there.
People can be like “and so…how does gravity work? how do the tides work? what’s up with atmosphere? what about the core of the planet? how do the days work? is there a sunrise and sunset?” and all that other stuff. They want to be all sciency and realistic.
I’ve always been like “oh well, basically the same as Earth because magick, and there’s no oceans on Elgana”. End of story
Honestly, that is more so what is the overall truth. Alagossia was supposed to be a new home to the gods after a divine war, yet it’s home to the gods and other lesser races and the magic plays a part in why things are the way they are.
I’d stick with something similar to Earth when it comes to seasons, weather patterns and such (Might want to look to various weather patterns Like El Ninio and such effects of the Oceanic warm water flow of the Drift and stuff).
Look to our own weather patterns and choose between making your own or going with what we usually know from our own weather patterns.
It’s funny you mention that. The weather is similar to Earth in a way, but there are some stark differences since the world is very different to earth.
Think of it as High Pressure and Low Pressure maybe… We know that this is what causes strong winds, and warm calm weather… Maybe it could use such pressures to move and in differing densities of it too…
However, that is a lot of thought and research to make it truly reasonable, but I guess it could be simplified with a bit of work (Research wise)…
Yeah, I know. I’ll never get started on my novels Project Frostsong and Project Lionheart until the world-building is completed in a way where I am satisfied.
