1. Establish the Rules of Your World
Every fantasy world has its own laws—whether it's about magic, physics, or society. Clearly define how your world operates to maintain consistency.
2. Create a Rich History
A well-developed history adds depth to your world. Think about major wars, legendary heroes, or lost civilizations.
3. Develop Unique Cultures
Your world should have diverse cultures with unique traditions, languages, and beliefs. This makes it feel more authentic.
4. Design a Geography That Influences the Story
From towering mountains to mysterious forests, the landscape should shape the civilization and conflicts in your novel.
5. Make the World Feel Lived-In
Add small details—street vendors, local gossip, regional dialects—to make your world feel real and immersive.
