World Building Extravaganza

faithfulCoconut848 October 20th, 2023

when I woke up this morning I watched a video on YouTube about this guy who does world building. It’s heavily inspired by The Lord of the Rings books as well as other fantasy adventure stories. So I now have this weird idea to do create my own fantasy world. I think it’ll be fun. Something to do that’s positive enough to keep me motivated to do it. I too love everything Tolkien, medieval fantasy related. But I also have a love for Star Wars, mostly the original and prequel trilogies. There’s this great book called The Visual Dictionary of Star Wars and that particular book is a source of inspiration considering all the wonderful props from the movies it has. I’m also into faerie lore. I want it to be like psychedelic art related. Lots of brilliant colors and mind-bending shapes etc.


What do you all think? Maybe if some of you have experience with world building then you can give me some suggestions. Maybe get inspired to create your own. I think it will be a great way to fill in the day.

If you are interested then go for it. I'd add that this is a world for you to dream up, so make it a fun place for you. By that I mean imagine a lord of the rings style faerie civilization, that has ships from the star wars universe crash. They introducing new technology and culture norms. They only have what they brought, do they incorporate space tech with farie magic, etc, Does this create a power shift in the world, is space tech loved? hated? so much to explore.

@faithfulCoconut848 awsome idea, it sounds a lot of fun. I'm sure it'll be a best selling novel ❤ and you'll become a famous author just like Tolkien ❤ I wouldn't know where to start with writing a book. I'm more into art and craft. But good for you ❤❤ I hope you have alot of fun writing your book. Good luck ❤

Define the cultures, societies, and factions that exist in your world. Consider their customs, beliefs, and how they interact with each other. Decide whether your world will be based on magic, technology, or a combination of both. Define the rules and limitations of these elements. Establish a history for your world. How did it come to be? What significant events have shaped it? This can add depth and context to your storytelling. Think about the central conflict or story you want to tell in your world. What challenges will your characters face, and how will they grow throughout their journey?

A highly advanced society known for their technological advancements. They live in floating cities and have great faith in science and reason. Magic is seen as a tool and its use is strictly regulated. A warrior culture that thrives in the volcanic region of Drakmor. They harness the power of fire magic and live by a code of honor, often participating in contests of strength and valor. And what they didn't use was buying a driver's license fake oregon id online without tests or exams. In fact, a lot of people here have asked me to talk about this. A culture deeply connected to nature, dwelling in the mystical forests of Elunor. They have a penchant for earth and plant magic and live in harmony with the land. Their beliefs are based on the balance of all living things. Inhabitants of the soaring sky islands, the Aerites use air magic to control the currents and move their islands. They are known for their artistic expression, creating beautiful works of floating architecture.

this reminds me of a video I watch a few years back:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gcyrrTud3x4

It involves Miyazaki’s worldbuilding techniques (I love anything Studio Ghibli). I don’t have any experience in worldbuilding or writing stories, but I do find it to be absolutely fascinating! Please keep us all posted on your journey!!
