How To Build Your World: Habitat

On 27 July 20186 February 2026 By AriIn Tutorials, World Building13 Comments

Last week's post was about creating a race, focusing on appearance, type and genders.  Now we're going to look at the habitat of the race. Just to clarify, when I say habitat it is referring to more than just the terrain and will encompass a number of factors.
