A nice unique touch you could add to your nomads would be their religion's origins. We know that most ancient pantheons originated from scientific occurrences that people couldn't understand back then and so, deified. You could do the same here. For example, the wild hunter God could be a big, black wolf that roamed around somewhere and killed many of the tribes once they violated its habitat. Its red eyes could be the inspiration for them to make the eye as a "danger" symbol as whenever you saw it you could assume it's the wolf going after you. But once they migrated again, and they left the wolf behind, it's only up to folklore to transcend it and alienate it into what you've made. It could also be some other animal like a panther, a lion or something completely fictional! It's just the fact that it is unique, very powerful and deadly that should get the nomads to fear it and deaify it. The hunter god could be a friendly tribe that settled near an oasis and that the nomads once discovered in their timeline. They would have so many food and resources that they would be overweight from the lack of trying to seek food and more than willing to share it. Seeing a tribe like that giving it's goods away and being very rich of it themselves is good enough for the nomads to deify them as well and as years pass folklore makes them into a single, benelovant deity.
Thankyou for the suggestions! These are definitely ideas similar to what I'm planning on incorporating in the story, the wild god is based off the dinofelis, although slightly different since the timelines wouldn't match up at all if I didn't tweak it's extinction date ^^" and since skull cults are some of the earliest religions studied, I'm basing a lot of their origin off of that concept. And the Hunter god is actually based on a constellation! It's a lot easier to base a folktale-turned-mythos on something in the sky that you see eyery night, and his other title "the guide" comes from his hand being their equivalent of the North star, he always gestures north, guiding people along their travels - and I actually have a short coming out in a week or two that'll talk about this! :)
An additional note on music. The body itself can be a percussion instrument. Clapping your hand with it cupped to varying degrees against body parts produces different tones, with a flatter hand producing a higher, brighter sound. Doing this on the chest while also singing can create an interesting variance in the singing as well.
@@hannahsmth Your style is very interesting, most worldbuilder channels don't generally use aesthetics in there videos while they discuss worldbuilding of their own world. Which is a very vital piece of the triangle of worldbuilding and your art does pull me in. You got this Hannah! :D
I have found this channel recently and i am already interested in what cultures will emerge in this world. I don't know if you aleready heard of them but i know two worldbuilding channels that can help and/or give inspiration for building cultures: worldbuilding notes and worldbuilding corner. Check them out if you'd like. Also I am wondering: are you going to implement magic in this world and are there going to be some weird, fantastical animals or other organisms? I think that if Tala is going to be immortal there can't be any natural explanation to it. Or is it?
Thankyou for the suggestions, I'll definitely check those two out! :) And yes, there will be elements of the supernatural in the story - Although not a fully fleshed out magic system, there'll be a lot of mystic and magical elements, gods and creatures, and Tala's immortality is definitely fantastical! :)
I have both a hunter and hunting god in my story that takes place 25k years ago. My hunting god is pretty similar to your nice. While my winter/moon/night god sounds similar to your other god. Just thought that was interesting and like something I'd like to share.
