The description of a fantasy world includes elements related to space, time, creatures, and plot. Fantasy does not seek to explain the world scientifically, but rather creates a fictional universe distinct from the real world.

Some aspects that need to be described:

The geography includes dense forests, mountain ranges, vast grasslands, and sprawling deserts. Each region can have unique characteristics, including native inhabitants, flora, and fauna.

Architecture and Cities – Cities and settlements often reflect the culture and history of the peoples who live there. For example, elven cities with tree houses, dwarven fortresses with massive gates.

History and mythology help explain the origin of the world and its inhabitants, and shape the culture and way of thinking of its inhabitants. Space

A fictional space is a fantasy world that never existed in reality.

The boundary between worlds is either magical or material. Crossing the boundary may require a magical object (a ring, a cabinet, a painting, a mirror) or a special action (a spell, an appeal to higher powers).

The dichotomous nature of time – there are two types of time: empirical and mythological.

Mythological time is the primordial sacred time brought to life through legends and traditions, while empirical time is deliberately removed from the modern world, such as the Middle Ages. Both times often coexist simultaneously in fantasy worlds. Non-linear narrative—several plot branches can unfold in parallel in different worlds, as well as switch between events of the present and the past. Creatures A variety of fictional races—elves, dwarves, centaurs, dragons, and others—employ familiar tropes in various ways: many reproduce them directly, while others deconstruct, reimagine, or use them as subtle references. Nature spirits are a group of races closely connected to the environment. Among them
