These sources define worldbuilding as the rigorous construction of a coherent reality that functions through internal logic rather than narrative convenience. The text distinguishes between soft worldbuilding, which prioritizes mood and wonder, and hard worldbuilding, which relies on explicit systems and unflinching consequences. Using the setting of Arreqqana as a primary example, the material illustrates how integrated structures—such as law, ethics, and philosophy—must impose genuine constraints on characters to feel authentic. A truly successful world functions like an operating system, where actions lead to inevitable reactions and history leaves a permanent residue on the environment. Ultimately, the text argues that a world's strength is measured by its structural integrity and its ability to remain consistent under pressure.
