WorldEmber 2025 Prep

Wahoo this is the first World Ember I'm doing. Also I'm still learning how to use this website. Should be fun.

The Great Wyrm is a large project for me, mostly because I get very in the weeds trying to figure out cilmate zones and geology. But! I think those things are important to worldbuilding, at least the way I do it. Our relationship to the land affects the way we build societies.

Prep Bingo

I uh. Didn't pick a line. I just picked 5.

Review World Homepage/World Primer

I need to make these so people know what the hell they are lookin at! I'll get 'em done, I promise!

Review Your World's Visual Appearance

Currently, I am working on a new world map for the Great Wyrm. It'll be bigger! Better! 25,000 pixels wide! More accurate climate biomes! If only pixels could be counted as words! Oh Well!

This is the old map:

It's not bad! Some things I'm not satisfied with though is the scale. My goal is to have this map be more Earth-like, more scale accurate.

Plan Your Worldbuilding Playlist

I'll be focusing primarily on the country of Thoraxia, I think. It's 70s America themed, complete with leaded gasoline and colonialism!

I'm adjusting some things like continental drift, continent size, continent placement, and biome placement. My deserts are in the wrong spot and it is making me insane xD I also need to research swamps more! It is a biome I am sadly lacking in knowledge on the formation of.   I also need to add in ocean currents, which means paying closer attention to circulation cells, and circulation cells also affect deserts/rainy areas. And ocean currents and biomes affect where societies are placed, etc, etc.   The scale is also gonna be 1px = 1 mile. D E T A I L. I hate nothing more than having to make separate map files for different countries, I want something I can just zoom in on.
