A small snippet from my book Kingsley describing the streets of Okhal #WIPWorldBuilders
Using the five senses, describe walking down one of the city streets. #WIPWorldBuilders
Hi! I'm Sam, the host who slept through their alarms and is late to their own chat π
One of the main cities in Kingsley is Okhal, an occupied city in Killbraugha, the country of the anthro crocodiles. #WIPWorldBuilders
Welcome! Introduce yourself and one of the cities in your world. #WIPWorldBuilders
If you want to meet other world builders, may I humbly recommend my discord? It's dedicating to all things world building! Comment if you'd like an invite! π #WIPWorldBuilders
Last question of the day and you know what that means. Share your links to your books, blogs, newsletters, whatever! #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders - A5: My favourite Callor street has lots of food vendors, so you can smell vats of hot, spiced tea and hear street snacks sizzling in oil. I'd recommend tasting the vegetarian kebab roll (with hot sauce) but mind your fingers! Those fries are fresh π―

#WIPWorldBuilders - A4: I'd say there's more public than private space on Callor Station. Plenty of squares, plus hydroponic parks and open waterways which form part of the environmental systems. One bougie neighbourhood has plants in *actual* soil π±
Are there free spaces available (like parks, squares, etc.) What kind of spaces are they? #WIPWorldBuilders
It's been an absolutely blast talking with you all. Hope you come back next to discuss food in your world! #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders - A3: Callor is maintained by the Engineers' Guild, a pan-system body with its base on Elastor, although the station itself is mortgaged on a 50 year private finance loan. It has everything you'd expect of a city, along with power generation, sanitation etc.
What sort of infrastructure does your city have? How is it maintained? #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders Have a trimmed down snippet from the first chapter about a university town (The original section is 320 words, hence the [English equivalents for ease instead of the Old English] and ... to remove all but the sensory details!)

#WIPWorldBuilders - A2: Callor Station was built up as it was carved out, so it's a bit convoluted especially in the older neighbourhoods. Newer sections have wider/straighter roads, and most are named after their benefactor (Annette grew up in Stephenson Wharf)
How is your city organized? It is laid out on a gird? Are there boroughs or districts? #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders There are a lot of parks seen in the book!
There are the large public parks (think: London's Royal Parks), smaller local parks, "private square gardens" shared by the townhouses around, and then there are the large "pay for entry" parks
Are there free spaces available (like parks, squares, etc.) What kind of spaces are they? #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWOrldBuilders Water, sanitation, power, telegraphs and telephones, an underground train network, buses, trams, above ground trains, postal services
It's supported by a mix of local and national taxes

#WIPWorldBuilders It's an utter mess. Welcome to historic divisions and absorption over time
There are winding streets and terrible intersections, and borough lines that are a mix of politics, custom, and sheer stupidity
(There is a reason I have been putting off the map!)

#WIPWorldBuilders Hi, I'm Sifa and I write political and historical SFF
Most of ACFWR is set in Eafdon (Eav-don), capital of Breglond. It's based on 1930s London (but with several more visible rivers!)

#WIPWorldBuilders Q5
The creation of man. Urth and Sky betrayed Time by creating mortal man, and Fate sided with them. Time took it personally and Fate had to stop her by pining her to the roots of the Mother Tree and leaving her there to rot.
Is there a famous historical or mythical betrayal that beings in your world remember to this day? #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders Q4
Nearly every prior King of Chall was either assassinated or straight up murdered by his son, such is the way of succession in Chall.
But, before the events of ReBirth, the King of Chall murders the Queen of Aria for her throne and her Queendom.
Was anyone famous ever assassinated in your world? If so, who was killed, why were they killed, and how di they die? #WIPWorldBuilder
#WIPWorldBuilders Q3, the worst manmade disaster is actually a rather large spoiler π
Now it's time to talk about humanity's hubris. What was one of the worst manmade disasters to occur in your world? #WIPWorldBuilders
#WIPWorldBuilders Q2
The worst natural disaster is one no one remembers. Gaea under goes a cycle of ReBirth in certain conditions are met, it's possible that this current cycle may break it.
What is one of the worst natural disasters to occur in your world? #WIPWorldBuilders
Welcome to #WIPWorldBuilders! So excited to talk all things world building with you all. Introduce yourself and your wip!
#WIPWorldBuilders Q5 Shallot and her boys killing their baron wasn't big news at first, but her legend grew as time went on. In later years, leaving a bag of shallots instead of rent money to a landlord is considered a threat that the tenants will not pay rent any more.
Is there a famous historical or mythical betrayal that beings in your world remember to this day? #WIPWorldBuilders
