Join & Co-Create in Collaborative Fantasy World-Building Server

This post is an invitation to ELDARUS, a collaborative fantasy Discord server looking for creative new members to join in roleplaying and lore development within its established world (Kingdom of Azmir, port city Eldarus).

Influencer/Community Member Profile for Collaboration: The ideal collaborators would be individuals or communities whose niche involves:

• Fantasy world-building and lore creation
• Collaborative storytelling or writing
• Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons
• Character development and roleplaying
• Fantasy art and illustration
• Game development (especially indie devs working on fantasy RPGs)

Collaboration Suggestions & Expected Benefits:

1. Join and Actively Contribute:

   • Suggestion: If your niche aligns with the above, the most direct way to collaborate is to join the ELDARUS Discord server (link provided in the comments of the Reddit post) and become an active, contributing member. This could involve participating in roleplay sessions, contributing to lore discussions, or developing a character within their world.
   • Expected Benefit: Direct engagement with a passionate, niche community. Opportunities for content creation based on server activities (e.g., writing stories about your character, creating art of scenes/locations). Networking with other creative individuals in the fantasy genre.

2. Propose Specific Collaborative Projects (once established):

   • Suggestion: If you are a fantasy author, artist, musician, or indie game developer, after becoming a known member, you could propose specific collaborations. Examples:
     • Authors/Writers: Offer to write a short story set in Eldarus, or co-write a piece with existing members.
     • Artists: Offer to create character art for members, illustrate scenes from Eldarus lore, or design a map.
     • Game Developers: Explore if elements of Eldarus lore could inspire a small quest or location in your game (with full credit and community involvement), or offer to host a playtest of a relevant game for server members.
     • Musicians: Compose a theme or ambient track inspired by Eldarus.
   • Expected Benefit: Showcase your skills to a relevant audience. Create unique portfolio pieces. Potential for cross-promotion if your project is featured or acknowledged by the community. Gain feedback and inspiration from engaged fantasy fans.

3. Cross-Promotion (if you have an existing community):

   • Suggestion: If you run your own fantasy-related community, blog, stream, or channel, you could consider a mutual shout-out or feature. For example, you could review the Eldarus server or feature some of its lore/art (with permission), and they might, in turn, highlight your relevant content to their members.
   • Expected Benefit: Exposure to a new, relevant audience for both parties. Strengthens ties within the broader fantasy community. Content diversification for your platform.

Overall, ELDARUS itself is the active community seeking collaborators. For an influencer or creator in the fantasy space, this is an opportunity to engage with a pre-built, enthusiastic audience and co-create within an established framework, leading to enhanced visibility, content ideas, and networking.
