	Riiga ~~intensifies~~.		Riiga continues growing quite a lot. The Discord remains popular, and I started a Dungeons & Dragons campaign set in Riiga with some modified rules to help. This is streamed on Twitch and starts late 2020. I also stream a lot of Riiga-based artwork on Twitch, and start the Tales of Riiga Patreon, where people can support what I do as I write and illustrate short stories set in Riiga.


			==2021==
			The D&D campaign reaches ~50 sessions by the end of this year, and I start working on my own custom VTT system for Riiga loosely based on D&D5E toward the end of the year. Tales of Riiga continues throughout the whole year, but the art streaming is paused halfway through the year.


			==2022==
			Who knows?

	I also joined deviantART in early 2005, and consequentially began to make up a lot of characters, many of which have inspired parts of Riiga today. Cole is one of the inspirations for the Vamans, Nari is the first ~~Sirin~~, the Keid were becoming prominent, and races like Gruitin and Modeoa were invented. I also wrote a lot of stories collaboratively with online friends.

	After many years of running a Minecraft roleplaying server, I decided to finally end it. The desire to create something that lasted longer than a Minecraft world had all but consumed me by this point. I wanted to go back to Riiga and work on other projects. So after years of almost no attention, Riiga saw an explosion of additions in December of 2019, adding more material in one month than everything over the past four ~~yeras~~ or so. I started to go really deep with lore, making page after page of detail, all with the intention of designing Riiga to be a flexible platform I could use to write and/or illustrate stories and events. I made a Discord where fans could check with progress on Riiga as a worldbuilding project and sometimes join in conversations to contribute material, as well as get sneak previews of art I was working on.

	In 2001, my brother and I had an idea for a world. By this time we were both in our teens and had been making up countless other worlds, pretend video games, artworks, and other creations, but this one was different. After playing [https://www.achaea.com/ Achaea] for the first time, we got a taste of a brand new way of creating fantastical lands -- one section of land at a time. So we used grid paper and plotted out a small land called Riiga. Each point where four grid lines intersect represented one area, which roughly translated to the size of a house. We also made up lists of all things that could be found in this land, ranging from butterflies and fish to catch, to monsters, wildlife, towns, and people. It was designed to be explored. We even made character sheets which were filled out by hand, and took turns with one person running the world and narrating events, and the other playing as a character.

	The oldest idea in Riiga is the Keid race who originated from a character called Jaro from a fake game my brother and I made up called Secret of the Hidden Spells. After playing Secret of Mana in 1999, we took inspiration to make a pretend game of the same variety. One of the lead characters was a boy from the jungle with a bow and long brown hair -- a Keid. Even the name Jaro is an actual Keid name in Riiga.

	A few years later, we came back to Riiga and designed what you might call "expansions" to the world. I created Jindiara, which is a jungle region and the place where the Keid first appeared, and by brother made a frosty land inspired by the [https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Solstheim Solstheim] expansion to Morrowind, which included Hiiden Riiga and the Nadrock Isles. We drew inspiration from everything we knew, and many of the names and ideas exist in the current form of Riiga in some way.

	Thanks to a lot of interest from some new online friends, I decided to make Riiga's first wiki on WikiSpaces in 2007. It was scrappy, and I moved the wiki onto my own website within a year, but putting down all the information really started to give a sort of life or spirit to Riiga. I started creating all kinds of things about the world and its many places, like gods, cultures, monsters, orders, and an extensive history. I also created the first Riiga roleplaying forums in this time, which were hosted on ProBoards. This was one of the most productive periods for work on Riiga.

	This led to the world used on this wiki to the present day.

Its history goes back millions of years. Almost nothing about it now is arbitrary. Of course, this meant that the vast majority of the lore had to be recreated, using the old Riiga usually as no more than inspiration, but my love for Riiga grew immensely after this massive change.

The Official Riigan Sheets were made, and the lore began to deepen. I also started a new story, which isn't specifically set in Riiga, but I only got about 25k words into that before ending it once I got internet back.		I went for several weeks without internet due to moving house, so I used this free time to work on Riiga, including a huge amount of refinement to its history, religions, and civilisations.

	After many years of running a Minecraft roleplaying server, I decided to finally end it. The desire to create something that lasted longer than a Minecraft world had all but consumed me by this point. I wanted to go back to Riiga and work on other projects. So after years of almost no attention, Riiga saw an explosion of additions in December of 2019, adding more material in one month than everything over the past four yeras or so. I started to go really deep with lore, making page after page of detail, all with the intention of designing Riiga to be a flexible platform I could use to write and/or illustrate stories and events. I made a Discord where fans could check with progress on Riiga as a worldbuilding project and sometimes join in conversations to contribute material, as well as get sneak previews of art I was working on.
