What are realms in fantasy stories?
A realm is a geographical area in which a story is set. It can be as small as a country or as large as an entire world. Realms often have their own unique history, geography, and inhabitants.
Realms can be divided into two broad categories: natural and supernatural. Natural realms are those that could exist in our own world, such as Middle-earth in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Supernatural realms, on the other hand, are those that could not exist in our world, such as Narnia in C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Within these two categories, there are many different types of realms that authors can choose from for their stories.
What should be considered when choosing a realm name?
When choosing a realm name, there are a few factors to consider. First, the name should be unique and not easily confused with other realms. It's also important to choose a name that is easy to pronounce and remember.
Choosing a good realm name is essential to building a successful world. By taking the time to consider all of the factors outlined above, you can be sure to choose a realm name that will work well for your readers.
