World Building “Ma’rama, Daimyo’s Daughter”

World building usually involves a map of the fantasy world. Here’s the one I created for the island empire of Taykoku Koganay Ree’ukyu.

World building can become a trap. It’s so easy to become absorbed in every aspect of the geography and culture, and it’s really tempting to include every detail. To avoid boring “info dumps,” it’s best to insert information about the fantasy world or backstory only when needed.
