Good point about relating with what the reader knows and then we are more apt to believe the created things of, like dragons.

I think if you use things we are custom to it leaves more room to work on other great ideas being created, the characters, and the plot.

Hmm, great point. I never thought about using natural settings or cause-and-effect statements like that to convince the reader of a world’s authenticity.

Ecology definitely affects the rest of the world around an area too. It defines trade, insofar as what a specific culture has to trade with, and what they trade those things for, and a clever writer can use those things to create or stoke tension, which leads to conflict, which leads to the DARK SIDE.

It’s also a nice way to slip some character development under the door. A person raised in the woods might not really think about the dew on the brambles or budding acorns, because they’re so familiar, but when he or she gets to a city they might gaze about in wonder about how alien it is.

And from there, it’s not hard to construct mythologies and stories about the landscape, deifying certain aspects of it and demonizing others, etc.

It was surprising to me how much depth I got out of stories when the setting was strong in my head.
