My original seed wasn't much of anything I began with a character who had just killed a god. The surrounding story was peoples reaction to the event and the character. It has since then changed drastically, but the premise of power, strong motivations, and magic is still a big part of the process. For example there is a grand evil, but the lesser evil that is really centerstage in the stories fears it and hold very different motivations than it in terms of how it wants control.

The second one was a more generic seed. I looked at the world of magical creatures we had and saw all the variants in design for things like werewolves, vampires, the undead, etc. What if they were all real? If these magical creatures had different species like any other type of animal? What traits would be different? Would a trait be how human or wolf a werewolf actually looks? Or would it be how much control they were in when they changed. It started from that and has since morphed into something very early in development, but it's cool.
