When it comes to writing stories in the fantasy genre, building a world from scratch can be intimidating. A good setting has to interweave the creation of a physical world, the peoples that inhabit it, and usually the magic that makes everything so fantastical. This class will provide an introduction into how to get started, how to make a world feel fleshed out, how to create a magic system that works with your story, and how to weave it all together to create a believable fantasy world. At the end of the class we will work together to craft the start of a totally original world.
