I think that having a general idea of the world really helps working out the story. Not that I have loads of experience with this, quite the opposite, but I guess this is just how the process works for me... Good to see that you all think this is a good idea. I am now very confident with...

So as pretty much everyone in the World Building forum I am building a world -- Fabula Argentei. My first thread about it (more specifically, about the map) can be reached here. Now I would like to share with you my first developments regarding the universal history of my world. Please find...
