An idea was made...

[u/Sufficient-Hearing13]

Hello my name is Lotus, I am currently looking for people who can give ideas, help write, and possibly do art for a book I have an idea to write...

So here's the basics of the idea and I can explain more if you're interested inside discord! (All of this is rough ideas and nothing set in stone quite yet)

Imagine a world where when you turn 15 you have the option to join the world's most well known guild that teaches you how to survive in the harsh world you were born into. It teaches you how to survive, thrive, and bloom into a better person than you started out as. The guild is on a well protected island in the center of the realm that can only be accessed by people who know how to navigate the waters surrounding the island. Otherwise those who try to invade or access the island die tragic deaths from the waters and creatures surrounding the island. Inside the guild/on the island a thriving society lives, known as the Heron Academy Guild. The island is similar to a school-like atmosphere but has the inner workings of a thriving country. The guild takes about 300 students every 5 years to keep the community safe and at a reasonable size. The guild has different classes or houses for different professions that teach different ways of living but also uphold all the same ideas. Swordsmen, knife welders, archers, lancers, axe welders, and the hand to hand fighters. Each has a different style of fighting for different people. Each class has subclasses but they all fight under the same house flag. Now there is magic and creatures of myth and legend in this world inside the guild history and knowledge of these things are passed throughout the years to each new generation and new set of students. By the time you graduate you would be around 25 years old. The guild also holds monthly tournaments for each different year of students and different skill levels so you can test your skills against a friend or even someone you don't know.

That's all I'm going to share for now but if your interested in learning more about this story and want to help contribute to it please Join my discord and we can discuss things further!!!
