Worldbuilding
Where ideas become living worlds, built with depth, coherence, and wonder.
Every story begins in a place: a kingdom, a planet, a city, a quiet village on the edge of something ancient and strange. But a world is more than scenery. It’s laws, culture, history, conflict, climate, belief, and the subtle rhythms that make a setting feel alive.
The Worldforge is where your imagined world gains structure and soul. Together we turn wisps of concepts into a coherent, breathing setting your readers can step into and believe.
The Creation
Worldbuilding can feel overwhelming: too many ideas, not enough structure, or a setting that works in your head but collapses under scrutiny. The Worldforge reshapes that chaos into harmony.
When this process is complete, you’ll have:
• A world with logic and internal consistency
• Cultures, histories, and environments that feel lived-in
• Maps, mythologies, and societal frameworks that deepen your plot
• A coherent setting strong enough to support multiple stories
Your imagination becomes a landscape with gravity.
The PRocess
We begin with a conversation — your vision, your story, the textures and emotions you want the world to carry. You’re welcome to send anything you have: scattered notes, half-formed ideas, moodboards, sketches, or even just a feeling. Chaos is not a problem here; it’s the raw ore of worldbuilding.
From there, I organise your material into a foundational structure, identify gaps, and begin shaping geography, cultures, history, politics, magic or technology systems, and whatever components your world requires. Everything is built with internal logic, so the setting feels lived-in and coherent.
Collaboration Style
Every writer works differently, so you can choose the rhythm that suits you:
Continuous Collaboration
I send you sections as they’re drafted, and you can respond along the way. This style keeps the forging process conversational and evolving — ideal for writers who like to brainstorm, refine ideas together, or adjust direction as the world takes shape.
Post-Revision Review
You receive the full World Bible once the forging is complete, and then we refine everything in a revision round. This is perfect for writers who prefer to see the entire world at once before shaping the final details.
Either way, the result is the same: a coherent, richly developed world built to serve your story.
What’s Included
The specifics depend on your needs, but a typical Worldforge commission includes:
• A complete World Bible (10–30+ pages depending on scope)
• Geography and environment: continents, climate, terrain, ecosystems
• Cultures and societies: social structures, traditions, symbolism, values
• History and mythology: timelines, legends, turning points
• Magic systems or technology foundations
• Economics, politics, and power structures
• Species, factions, and regional identities
• Naming conventions and linguistic notes
• Optional maps (concept sketches or detailed outlines)
• Editorial feedback ensuring the world supports your plot and themes
This is worldbuilding with both creativity and rigour — imaginative, but anchored in logic.
Price & Turnaround
Worldbuilding projects vary widely, so the Worldforge quotes depend on scope rather than word count.
Price:
Most projects fall between €250–€800, depending on complexity, depth, and extras (maps, systems, cultural detailing, etc.).
Turnaround:
Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on the size of the world and how many components you choose to include.
Rush timelines can sometimes be arranged for smaller worlds or single-region builds.
FAQs
Can you design a whole world from scratch?
Yes. I can build an entire world, though the more guidance and preferences you provide, the better I can ensure the world reflects your story’s unique vision.
What if I only need one aspect, like a magic system or a city?
That’s possible too. The service can focus on a single element just as carefully as a complete world. Pricing for smaller projects can be agreed upon before work begins.
How detailed will it be?
The level of detail is tailored to your needs — anything from broad outlines to highly developed lore that spans multiple documents.
Will you change my vision?
No. The goal is to strengthen your ideas, not replace them.
Can you build worlds for any genre?
Yes — fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, speculative, magical realism, and hybrid genres.
Do you help with series worlds?
Absolutely. Series-spanning worlds are especially rewarding to forge.
Writers often find that structured worldbuilding turns scattered ideas into something they can actually use. Regions gain logic, cultures take shape, and the setting becomes easier to write within. The Worldforge helps transform loose concepts into a workable, believable world.
