Worldbuilding usually starts with an idea that leads you to a starting point. Quite often your idea determines the scope of a worldbuilding project. But, if you start off with a blank slate the first consideration should be scope.
The following List is useful in determining the scope and scale of your project:
- Universe
- Galaxy
- Solar System
- Dimension
- World
- Continent
- Nation
- Region
- City
- Community
- Building
- or Other Location
You can always work your way up or down the list or out from the middle. But, don't over do it if you can help it, because often the intimate details are the most valuable.
Now that you've determined your scope, you will know whether to start with geographical or cultural elements.
