I have a sideblog for worldbuilding and I wanted to pin this “Islandios is an seemingly infinite sky realm with floating lamdmasses that range from supergiant continents to tiny little islets that are barely the size of a shed. These islands are traveled between by either wings, or natural and man-made bridges, or ships that are powered by magic that comes from dedication to the self and the arts and whatever else someone can care deeply about. There are 6 tiers of souls, Spirit, which gives an organism the will to live, Nature, which gives an organism the will to grow and change, Self, which gives an organism the will to explore and introspect as well as self-awareness, Flaire, which gives an organism access to the underlying veins of magic, the other two are only accessible to gods and god-adjacents, Power, which gives a god/godling power beyond what is normally capable, and Sight, which gives a god/godling sight beyond their eyes. Most plants only have one soul, while creatures always have two or more and sapient beings have three or more. Those who can manipulate flaire have four and gods/godlings have five to six souls. When each organism grows they develop a spark of the next tier of soul. I.e some plants develop Nature and crudely grows in opposite directions from where they were planted, usually growing up and down simultaneously but some do grow sideways and such.” as my intro to my worldbuilding, is this sufficient enough information or are there more questions that need answering?
Feral: Sweetie, take your time! It’s an intro with plenty of hooks. If this is going to be a side blog, you very specifically don’t want or need to answer all the questions up front.
Utuabzu: Seems fine to start with. Like Feral says, it’s a intro with plenty of hooks and further detail can be added in the actual posts. Plus, you can always replace this later on with a new version if you need to, or want to add links to important posts.
Wootzel: I second the thing about adding links to posts. If every major concept in this intro is a link to a post with more detail, plenty of people are going to go down a rabbit hole, Wikipedia style, and then be hooked on learning more (especially if you can pepper the info posts with enough character information to suck people in as far as knowing who these people are while they’re reading about the concepts.)
