Explanation:

During the subject “Storyworlds”, we learned to effectively build a fictitious world from scratch.

“Winds of Decay” is about the soldier “Kalatel”, who must learn that rules and a sense of duty can be counterproductive in a chaotic world. A crisis has erupted from the capital city through the production of a drug, which annihilates the previous well-organized order. Not only that, an eastern race threatens the nation with an invasion.

Another task was to write a derivate. I decided to write a film script about how the antagonist of the story, Mola Tarin, rose to her position.
