How To Build Your World: Habitat

On 27 July 201819 April 2020 By AriIn Tutorials, World Building12 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.

I am finally back to my World Builder Series! I took a long hiatus from it but I think it's time I breathed life back into this.

Today's topic is about creating races, whether that's humans, merfolk, centaurs or talking rocks, you need to come up with different races to populate your world.
