Creation of Fantastic Worlds
Learn how to build imaginary universes that captivate readers
Great fantasy stories aren't just sustained by their characters or plot: they also live in the worlds that make them possible.
From forgotten realms to magical civilizations, fantasy universes offer the reader the possibility of exploring completely new realities.
In Readgulus Classroom you will learn how to design rich, coherent and lively narrative worlds, capable of sustaining epic and memorable stories.
Building worlds where imagination comes to life
Fantasy literature invites readers to cross the boundaries of the possible and enter universes where the imagination defines the rules of reality.
But for a fantasy world to work within a story, it must have internal coherence, history, culture, and rules of its own.
In this program, you'll learn how to create narrative universes from scratch and develop the elements that make a fantasy world believable and fascinating.
During the course you will work on aspects such as:
• Design of narrative universes
• Creation of geographies and territories
• Construction of cultures and societies
• Magic Systems Development
• History and evolution of the world
• Integration of the world with the narrative plot
At the end of the program you will be able to create complete fantasy worlds that serve as the basis for novels, stories or sagas.
