#WordWeavers 4/5 Most important thing about worldbuilding to you?
Intricacy without being over-complicated.
Is that so much to ask?
Well...ok, maybe it is. It's a hard line to walk, but I like worlds that are nuanced enough to have compelling histories, cultures, and geographies that naturally feed off each other.
I also like not getting the complete picture all at once. I want to wonder at this new world for a bit before I hear every detail of its 14 caste social/political/magic system.
