Experiments in Worldbuilding: Laying the Foundations for Future Works

This project is a worldguide for a fictional world developed for my Honors Capstone project. The document includes notes and descriptions of various aspects of the world, including geography, ecosystems, magic system, and civilizations. The worldguide also includes pictures of maps, moodboards, and some finished and unfinished scenes and myths set in the world. The goal of this project was to create a fictional world—or one continent of a world, in my case—complete with a lot of details as well as room to grow. This world is meant to represent a potential landscape in which to set future creative works, if I choose.

Abstract

This project is a worldguide for a fictional world developed for my Honors Capstone project. The document includes notes and descriptions of various aspects of the world, including geography, ecosystems, magic system, and civilizations. The worldguide also includes pictures of maps, moodboards, and some finished and unfinished scenes and myths set in the world. The goal of this project was to create a fictional world—or one continent of a world, in my case—complete with a lot of details as well as room to grow. This world is meant to represent a potential landscape in which to set future creative works, if I choose.
