The difference between fictional worldbuilding and real life is that us authors must make our world believable. Nature isn't bound to such banalities. No worldbuilder, however crazy they are, could come up with a world so complex, intricate and diverse. And in that aspect, it is the ultimate source of inspiration.

   

Discover oddities of our world, natural phenomenons you'd never imagine in a wizardly world and seemingly supernatural critters. Learn how they work in depth, and gather tips and tricks to include them in your own creation. This world is aimed to be used at both an inspiration for worlduilding and a resource of the most bizarre elements of our planet.
