    11. What’s language like in your world? While one would expect language to correlate with species, it actually tends to be more by nation, as those have laws that can enforce one language or another. Languages of the nearest areas are typically taught by parents to children, as well as where...

    10. What traditions are observed in your world? Hmmmm, let's zero in on one in particular, shall we? The Great Fire Dragon Hoard Fest is an event that takes place once a year in the northeastern side of Klidi. Hoards are symbols of social status to fire dragons, and every year many of them...

    7. How does the economy work in your world? There is currency, but it is hardly universal, and varies wildly from nation to nation, continent to continent.

    4. What’s its history? (How did it come to be?) Once, there were two voids, a light one and a dark one, sitting side by side in limbo.

    3. Who lives in your world? The diversity of sapient species living on Klidi is astounding. They come in all shapes and sizes, forms and functions, some very familiar and others very not.

    2. What’s the Geography of your world? I am the World Wanderer. One world I take great joy in visiting time and time again is the one known as Klidi, so called for an ancient word meaning "home." Its scattered continents belie lush, bountiful biomes full of life, both familiar and unfamiliar...
