Hello people's. Today I'm blogging more about one of my favorite book series. Here it goes.

Right now I'm reading the third book in The Mallorean series, the second series in the Belgariad books. I absolutely LOVE this series. I've already done a blog on a lot of this book series so I'm cutting right to the point on what this is really about. Ok so, the main conflict in these book series is that there are two opposing destinies one good and one evil. The force of them colliding all at once would collapse the universe so they fight it out in battles using vestiges of themselves called "The Child of the Light", and "The Childe of the Dark" in battles called events. Most often a person is only child of the light or dark once and then it's someone else. The Belgariad series leads to what's supposed to be the final and largest event that decides which destiny wins. The Mallorean takes place after and reveals that there is actually one more major event to decide the fate of the universe. These were great book series and had a huge following when they came out in the eighties but never got any special treatment like a movie so not many people know about them. My idea is to combine my interests and create a Minecraft mod solely devoted to this.

My idea is that after these events are said and done Belgarath the sorcerer himself is very tired of all of it especially seeing how he was the "caretaker" in most of the entire universes history. The idea is that Belgarath is going to train a disciple of his own to be the "caretaker" of the good destiny to make sure the evil one never wins out. The mod would have its own quest line in a dimension separate from regular Minecraft where it would actually be scale to the Belgariad world. In Belgarath The Sorcerer you see all the different adventures Belgarath himself goes on and this would be similar to that with side quests leading to a final epic quest.

The mod would of course have The Will and The Word, the way the sorcerers use magic as well as you being apprenticed to learning all the other forms of magic. Other mechanics would include a new form of magic I'd make myself where you would be able to imbue magical properties into items to create mini "orbs of Aldur", weapons wouldn't be as much tiered as they would be different with different weapons playing to different play styles. There would also be a blacksmithing system, ships, armies under your own control, tons and tons of stuff. This is of course very ambitious but hey I can dream.

Bye.
