Worldbuilding is the core of storytelling. Every story has it, from the mundane to the extraordinary. There are other things stories share too (characters, plot, and theme are the three remaining major ones). Characters, followed closely by plot, are the most valuable for the enjoyment of a story. Worldbuilding only comes after that, and it only narrowly beats out theme. But in my opinion, it is the most important of the four. The world you build is what lasts. Plot guides you across the course of the story, characters may follow you in secondary discussions about it, and theme will attach itself to your mind for months or even years on end. But world is what lasts across generations. It is what turns stories into myths and legends, what turns words into legacy. It’s what makes fiction feel like reality. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have plenty to offer in terms of characters, plot, and theme. But it is the world that continues to maintain their cultural sway. In my eleven years as a sci-fi/fantasy writing hobbyist, world is the thing I’ve cared the most about creating, so it makes sense to dedicate a page of this site to it. I’ve also run a worldbuilding discord for the past two years or so; we’re up to 30 active members now. This page is empty right now, but as I get time to grow the site, you'll see things pop up on here in no particular order, most of it taken from the discord and put in a more digestible form here. If you’d like to join the discord, email me at premmeyyappan0@gmail.com and I’ll get you in, or if you’d just like to look through, have fun scrolling! (Aggressive feedback through email, discord, or twitter is very appreciated.)
