Worldbuilding

“

Now I am become Life, the creator of worlds.

”

Worldbuilding is the act of building worlds. It is a popular pastime of authors, cartographers, and directors alike. Worldbuilding may be entirely fictional (see the unfinished World Map) or a modification of the Real World (see the likes of Earth-98, Atlas Altera, or The New Colossus).

Maps

Mapping is the heart and soul of worldbuilding. Maps give a broad sense of what the world looks like from a bird's eye view.
