Worldbuilding Through Culture by JmFrey

Worldbuilding is more than just maps! Culture is the WHY we think, believe, and behave the way we do. Creating a believable secondary world, with consistent internal logic, idioms, taboos, and politics can be tricky. Luckily, I'm here to help you devise the best possible setting for your story! Filled with thought exercises, explanations, and question lists, I encourage you to grab your prettiest notebook, pick out your favorite pen, and start following along.

However, in this scenario, we get to learn this fantasy world's inner workings alongside our precious main character, his journey, his struggles, and finally, a situation that will come up. The question is... What kinds of struggles shall he endure? Will it be simple for him to deal with? Or will it be hard? Just know that... Life, even if it gives you enough powers to be considered a god, it will still find a way to bite you from behind, caught unawares. "Death is unavoidable But so is life And everything you knew Can be taken away all at once But what happens when Two lives merge as one It wouldn't be the same, yes? And it can still shatter one's perspective in life? Have we really learned of everything we could learn? Know what one is thinking? Can we truly know their struggles and problems With just one look at their face? We sometimes say That someone has their own world In a way, that is true But what if that is the literal truth? Ground shaking, is it not?" TWO SEPARATE LIVES: A NOVEL FOR ANOTHER WORLD (BOOK ONE OF THE ASHEN SERIES)
