In my world, The Land of the two Kingdoms, there are many types of people. I know there is a lot of information below, so if you only want to take a look at one paragraph and comment on it, I understand. Don't feel obligated to read the whole post. ;)

There are those who travel towards the Kingdoms on a large field, whether they realize they're traveling or not. These are the lost subjects of the King. Some of them refuse to believe there is a King, or even two Kingdoms; some of them are deliberately heading towards the opposite Kingdom of the King; many of them are just lost and don't know where they are going. All of the garments of those who travel in the field are stained by the flowers, mud, and grass in the field, and the people hardly ever notice.

The next group of people are those who have found or have been led to the narrow path amidst the field, also heading towards the two Kingdoms. These people have decided to rejoin the King and are willing to take the long, hard road to get to him. Even though they have chosen to be loyal to the King, they often veer off the path and travel through the field again. They attempt this in order to take the "easier way," but often find out that it was actually more difficult because of the consequences they have to face. However, their garments never get re-stained unless they reject the King once more because the Prince, the King's son, has given them protection from the staining properties of the field. These people have also been commissioned to help guide the ones traveling on the field towards the path. All of these peoples have been knighted (both male and female) and have become like royalty, yet are called to serve like the lowest servants.

Then there are the inhabitants of The Light-Bearing Kingdom, home of Prince Rialtóir. Those who live here are the slaves of Prince Rialtóir and no longer have their free will; they can only follow the evil Prince's wishes. They became slaves by remaining in the field all their lives, either not caring about their stains, or attempting to remove the stains themselves.

Next come the inhabitants of The Shining City, which is the first Kingdom. These are the people who found their way to the path some how or another and were met by the Prince who cleaned their garments with his own two hands. These people have made their way to The Shining City and live there with their King and Prince. They have helped those they could while living on the path, and now train to be apart of the Final Army.

Both the Prince and Prince Rialtóir have their own servants and advisory whom they give to the people either on the path and on the field, respectively. They follow their masters (those traveling) wherever they go and advise them according to their master's instructions.

Also, the Prince and Price Rialtóir both have "slaves" so to speak; that is, they both have types of people who they command and will do as they are told. These peoples have almost no free will, and will only do as their masters bid. All of Price Rialtóir's slaves have some resemblance to their master, but are not as powerful. Conversely, the devoted servants of the Prince have no likeness to him at all.

Finally, we get to the most important people: The King, the Prince, Spirit, and Prince Rialtóir.

Prince Rialtóir: He used to be one of the devoted servants of the Prince, but used the little bit of freewill given to him to rebel against the King. Prince Rialtóir then created his own Kingdom, the Light-bearing Kingdom, which on the outside replicates almost perfectly the Shining City. Many of his own slaves were servants of the Prince as well, but decided to use their freewill to join Prince Rialtóir's rebellion. Prince Rialtóir was forbidden to ever walk within twenty miles of the Shining City after his rebellion.

Spirit: She is the King's wife (an idea I had to illustrate the trinity. I know there is the father, the son, and the holy spirit, so I though they could be a family. This is just a thought, so please gives some input about this idea!). She helped the Prince create his sharp, two-edged sword that is given to all of those who travel on the path. Although the Prince gave the sword magnificent power, Spirit added special gifts which differ from each one. These gifts can only be activated, however, if the traveler requests to meet Spirit in person. Otherwise, these gifts remain hidden.

The Prince: By now, you've probably guessed that he represents Jesus. He is the one who created the path. When his father sent him out to save the lost subjects, the Prince's footsteps created the path. When he was bruised, whipped, and even killed, the places where he was dragged continued to make the path. However, the path stopped ten feet outside of the Light-bearing City. Once the Prince escaped the City, his footsteps continued to make a path that led to the Shining City.

The King: He is, of course, God. He is the one who created all of his subjects who became lost after Prince Rialtóir (or one of his slaves?) tempted them, and they were cast into the field. He is the one who created the Shining City and the surrounding grounds. He is even the one who created the field that Prince Rialtóir filled with poison. He sent his son, the Prince, to create the path so that he could once more be reunited with his beloved subjects.

Do you have any questions? Ideas? Suggestions? I'd love to hear them! These are far from set-in-stone, and I would love to improve upon the ideas. Also, I was wondering if you all had ideas for the names of the different peoples, and possible descriptions of the "devoted servants/slaves." Thanks for reading! :D

This first sentence intrigues me and provokes my interest. Good job!

Very nice.

So of them are rebels? And some are just confused wanderers?

Quote:

So they're a bit careless and easygoing?

Quote:

They are trekkers as well, right? :)

Quote:

Could they be compared to Christians, trekking down the long and hard and narrow road to serve the King? Sort of like Loyalists, too?

Quote:
Even though they have chosen to be loyal to the King, they often veer off the path and travel through the field again.

So sometimes they lose faith and try to take the shortcut?

Quote:

So they get off-course and realize that the other way is better?

Ah, that's all I have the time for. :P I'll comment more later.

I like it, Nemo! It is a very unusual way to have God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, but I think it's cool how you made them into a family. Price Rialtoir is a bit confusing still, but I think I am starting to understand him more.
This is my favorite parts:

I really like it, especially the parts I just quoted, of course. I look forward to one day reading your book! I don't have as much critique as Elly, but anyway, have a nice day! :D
