World Building Thought/Question: How much does the world outside of your main character's home affect your character and her/his journey?
From the very first short story rendition of Champion in the Darkness called "The Crystal Sword," my main character, Clara, took up her sword of power to help defend her country against other influences. As the story grew into a novel that grew into a trilogy, more of the "outside" world came into play. Clara meets people from other cultures, including members of the secretive Watch Guard like Odran. These meetings encourage Clara, or challenge her.

Where a person grows up has a huge bearing on what they become. Luke Skywalker not withstanding.
Odran once had an ostrich...
The outside world is where most of my books were set, but it really came into play in the third one.
I love when a book grows into a trilogy! It's always exciting to take your world-building to a new level. :)
Odran- I like how it rolls off the tongue...Odran. Sorry, I like the name and I'm having too much fun with it lol
I like these world building questions, they make me think. Excuse me while I go scratch my head...
I quite enjoy the name Odran! A lot of my stories are strongly influenced by their surroundings, just as I always was as a kid--and even now :)
I love the phrase "has an osprey named Louras." I'm not sure why, it just caught me.
Without their world being well created, characters are easily flat and uninteresting. Enjoying your world building posts.
