Unlike a lot of other skills / talents, there aren’t objective goals for what is ‘good’ worldbuilding, and so it’s hard to tell if you are ‘improving’ at it.

If you improve at drawing you can look at your drawings and go ‘I got better at this’. If you improve at running you can look at your speed or how far you can go. Same for swimming, weightlifting, speaking, etc.

Building a world doesn’t intrinsically have things like these. Instead of trying to get a certain level of detail, or know specific values, just come up with ideas of things that you think are conceptually cool, and figure out how you would like to implement them.

If you get to the point where you have developed bits and pieces of a world that are interesting and make se we to you, then you have succeeded. All you need to do from there is figure out how you want to portray those ideas.

Bright eyes

Bright eyes

    Bright eyes are the ghosts of lost children that congregate in small groups in forlorn places. From the folklore of the Ventari and Fyr people these spirits while commonly invoking fright are benevolent beings.  Appearing as pallid children in an early state of decay their facial features are obscured by their large eyes that glow bright green.  Bright eyes gravitate to children, often those neglected protecting them from evil entities who would prey upon them.  

“When the dread of night falls upon you child look for the lights and you will find friends.”

-from a Fyr lullaby
