I have been thinking about this concept for a bit and can't seem to get a grasp on it. I hope some of you might be able to share your thoughts on this kind of topic :)
Thanks !
PLEASE HELP!
I'm stuck on this one. I'm writing an urban fantasy legal thriller, and the main character's a lawyer who deals with "Arcane Law."
She's got an appointment that has to take place at a very specific time and place because she's got a magical creature coming in as a witness and it...
Having been thinking on one of my past fantasy worlds, in which there are armies that can scale walls with calvary units. True, the world itself has mounted defenses as it is, usually by growing thorny vines along the walls. With thorns about five inches long at that, along with spiked defenses...
I want you to help me with the worldbuilding of this medieval romance fantasy novel of mine. What do you think of this medieval romance fantasy novel of mine?
This is about a warrior princess who rules a whole medieval country while waging wars against wicked humans and demonic forces that try...
Hello I'm really curious on people's thoughts on World Building and the scaling of it, I started making a map on Inkarnate and I'm quite proud of it but I've been told it's either too small or too big for a dramatic fantasy novel... I'm obviously not done with creating the landscape but I'm...
I'm world-building for an alternate history version of Belle Epoque with magic and the like. While I already had some ideas which will be listed below I'm seeking ideas for any more magic users.
On Magic
Magic is well known in this world being used for many things all the way up to the...
Basically I have a fantasy world I created and I need more ideas for abilities. The premise, put simply, is about a world made up 8 different realms, each with different climate, governments, and cultures. Everyone in this world (with some exceptions) has one of twelve magical abilities. These...
Finally wrote up a thing about magic in my primary story, MagicBound! Wanted to get someone else’s opinion on it! This is from a project I’ve been working on for 11 years since I was 15 lol any questions and of course constructive criticism welcome!
Laws of Magic
1- Magic can both create...
Hi everyone, I am in the process of writing a story in, and world building the world of, a planet that just so happens to be flat. There are several magical places and abilities that are named after seasons, and as such my question is, should I include changing seasons, or should I simply have...
Hello! I found this website and decided to join. I love fantasy and fiction. I like to write. Since fantasy is my main genre, I thought this site may be useful.
I like fantasy in different kinds of media, including movies, TV, and games. Also, art!
But even writing is a kind of art.

Hey, first time posting.
I’m starting to create the bare bones of this world, and I’m still getting the whole skeleton together. The basics that I have so far is that the most developed parts of the world do have very rough technology. Think DaVinci, and possibly bordering Tesla once...
Salves comes, this is my first post and I'm sure only the beginning. I am currently in the midst of worldbuilding a setting that I intend to use in my future creative projects, based around one idea: What if the Gods of a setting, instead of being shunted off into their own little planes of...
Hi there! I wasn't quite liking any of the map building sites I was trying out, so I decided to just sketch one out. I am wondering if this is a realistic layout for a world? I've divided it into three main, specific biomes. This is a first draft, I haven't yet figured out where specific...
Hi there! I just joined this forum because I'm planning to write a book and this seems like a great place to get feedback! Anyway, I'm not sure how to explain this well so bear with me.
Okay so I don't really know much about my story yet other than the fact it will be about orcs in a positive...
I couldn’t find a way to explain this shortly in the title but basically, I’m writing a fantasy story that’s doesn’t have a specific time setting, but it has aspects of certain eras. For example, swords and knives are widely used and only soldiers or people in the military use guns (something...
Hi all, I was just wondering how many of you kick off the world-building process by drawing a map (if your book has one, that is). I'm almost finished with having my first novel proofread, and before I had written a single sentence (back in 2017!), I created a world map. I find that the rest of...
In planning and drafting my fantasy novel, I've come to learn that the elves found in my world aren't too much like elves traditionally found in fantasy. I wanted to know if this was a problem, and if they stray too far from their origins.
Characteristics of my elves:
-Have demonic ancestry (in...

so, I just wanted to post how necromancy works on my world, so it may help you:
1 . revival: reviving something is fairly simple with necromancy, you can easily revive a corpse, but, it depends in which state is the corpse to be revived, if its only bones (aka a skeleton) the energy that is...
I have been creating a world influenced/created by gods, I have honorable knights of winter, time bending nomads of autumn and (maybe holy?) druids of spring, the thing is, summer is missing, and i want them to be there, every faction has some magics associated, nercomancy and cryomancy for...
