30 Days of world building - Day 3: Mood and Setting

Mood

I want it to be a little dark, it is supposed to take place in a country that's been at war for years. Everyone should be touched by this, the older generation because they remember what it was like when it was peaceful, the younger generation who only know what war is like, there just isn't much room for happy faeries flying around etc.

Setting

Most of the story would be set in a Middle Europe type place, cold winters, walm summers, rain etc. The made up world is very earth like in climate, countries to the north are cold, the further sounth the warmer.
