Detailed world building is an essential part of every successful
science fiction and fantasy story – and oftentimes historical
fiction as well. World building is all about the little details in
the setting that make this world, this story, this time and place
different from our everyday lives. Whether it is the color of the
sky, the political system, religious institutions, technology, or
even the cultures in which the characters live, successful
world building pays attention to the little things. Here is a
quick primer on the world building details that make the Peers
of Beinan Universe unlike any you have encountered before.
