Hello fellow Terrarians, I have now added lots of content spoilers. We have a small Dev team currently, so I'm looking for spriters, coders and animators. If you wish to help contact me at out Discord;
https://discord.gg/Hg7Ew3V.

Preface etc:
This my friends is The Edge:
Edge.PNG

I have based this mod off a series of books named "The Edge Chronicles". This does not go to say that you wont enjoy the mod if you havent read the books, they are just my source of inspiration. This series of book may look childish but it is really an amazing work of fiction. The reason I am using these books as inspiration is because of the amazing creativity of the Fauna and Flora and the fact that I am addicted to them. This is my first mod so some content may need a bit more work. Im open to suggestions and would love feedback. This mod will focus on adding around 4 new biomes, the addition of skyships and of course a diverse array of Flora and Fauna. Heres a link to The Edge Chronicles wiki: http://theedgechronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
I have been steadily progressing through some content and now this mod totals around 40 Items 10 NPCs and 5 Trees. This is only a fraction of what I plan to do so expect quite a large mod. A lot of the Fauna didnt quite fit with terraria sprite style so I've had to change some things but it mostly follows the books.
I would really appreciate any help as Im a beginner. I am really struggling with my biome currently ; - ) so if anyone has any experience in that aspect it would be a great help. A huge thanks to everyone over at the tmodloader discord server and everyone who made terraria possible. Thanks to the lads who made tmodloader and a special thanks to darkpuppey for his help with sprites. Again I would love help, If you want to chat join my discord server here: https://discord.gg/Hg7Ew3V

I know there isnt a lot of support for this mod and it may not suit everyones tastes but I hope that changes in the future because im never gonna give up on this mod and I hope you guys will appreciate it too. : )

Story:
Long ago there was a giant cliff (The Edge) hanging over the void. At its very tip were the stone gardens, further in was the twighlight woods and finally the endless deepwoods. Millenia ago the Mother Storm awoke and seeded The Edge with life at rivverise, the heart of the deepwoods. Life soon spread all over the edge, Many goblins and trogs formed tribes and waged war. But not the fourthlings, The fourthlings were very much like humans and there leader kobold the wise united the tribes in a place called Undertown. Undertown soon became a massive city and its fowl garbage and sewers made the mire; a stinking wasteland of mud and not much else. The fourthlings also harnessed flight in the form of Flight rocks and soon had massive skyships the roamed the sky and the great academics soon built a floating city named sanctaphrax. This however is but the begining. What is your purpose? That is for you to decide, will you become a Sky Pirate, a academic dedicated to finding Stormphrax Crystals, or a powerful individual who bows to no one. The edge is falling into chaos and it is your choice whether you save it or leave it to rot.

I will also create a world exactly like the Edge which will include Undertown etc which will be available for download. If you however prefer to start back in the days of kobold the wise. All you need to do will be download my mod and start a fresh world.

Well thats it for now, I hope I get some spoilers up soon.

I am hoping on a first release by december 2016.

There haven't really been any above-ground biome mods that I've taken much interest in yet. But your notes on flora and other fine details are exactly what a new biome of this type need imo.

Both The Deepwoods and The Mire sound extremely interesting! Judging from their descriptions, can't wait to see what they look like once they're coming along more.

Thanks I've got some spoilers coming along soon. There will also be a couple more biomes eg. The Stone gardens, Riverrise and the Edge lands that im hoping to add later on. There will also be a major change to world gen (its a surprise).
 
the sprites are great! Seems like you are really putting detail into the biomes and i can't wait to see what they look like! keep up the good work dude xD

Thanks its a bit of a struggle learning all the worldgen stuff but ill get there.
 
I personally don't use mods, but this one looks pretty good for a start. Also, I remembered that I had a few Edge Chronicles sprites laying around, and you're free to use them. Credit is all I ask for.
Gloamglozer.png
Gloamglozer's Robe.png
Red Glister.png

Gloamglozer, Gloamglozer's Robe and a Red Glister.
My suggestion, if you want my two cents, is that normal Glisters should be stackable vanity accessories which just add a little glowing Glister around you, and that the Red Glister should give some kind of bonus, possibly even a Gloamglozer transformation.
You'll have to do a bit of tinkering to get the stuff animated, but it shouldn't be too much.
