To be honest I didn't put a LOT of major thought into this, as it isn't going to be a "Pride and joy," kind of thing. It's really SUPPOSED to be vague, and semi-based off of fire emblem.
Also regarding Cynthia the character, she explains later about her blind issue.
Also, keep in mind our main character IS blind, how can she describe a world around her she does not see? As the first chapter centralizes around her, as there really is no characters of importance at that point. Trust me as it progresses she becomes more of a side character.
Really, this is one of my lower works, because well to be honest, I don't really have a lot of passion for Fire Emblem, so it sounds short and choppy, which is strange for me. The first chapter is actually face paced for the reason of if it wasn't it would put too much emphasis on Cynthia, because we'd spend so much time talking about her, and such.
Plus I never said the world will not be explained. The nations around them will be more revealed in depth as I go along, if I do.
And to be truly honest, middle ages and such isn't my hook, so it'll probably be one of the least entertaining to write for me, but it's good to try on things you never have done before.
I really need no help on world building, it's just I don't take this story very seriously, as it's just something to do for a little fun. If that deems it worthy of the Far From the Forest section, so be it, but I thought it was a LITTLE more structured.
Honestly my character isn't based off of myself.
Lastly, yes I notice grammar errors, and I try to correct most of them, but like I said, lack of passion and interest hinder my ability to truly go in depth about it. I'm certainly not a beginner, but I really have to have more time to get into a feel before I make something good.
I would like to remind you though, that it is polite to ask before giving advanced critique such as yours.
