You may have covered this in a previous post, and if so, sorry for asking again (you can just redirect me!). If you haven't, maybe some other people would be interested as well.
How do you create a world? And by that I mean the landscape, the towns, the cities, the people, the names, language, etc. I know that seems like a loaded question, so I'll explain why I ask.
I have a world that I am creating and I feel certain that there are things I'm leaving out and points I'm not considering. Do all the names of characters/places have to follow a certain theme? What about language? Religion? When you have a character go from one place to another, how does that character get there? By what road? Over a mountain? How do you develop landscape and borders for your lands? Did you draw maps?
Just interested in how you came to a solid, believable world.
