Patrica C. Wrede's Worldbuilder Questions

Natural Resources

• Which areas are the most fertile farmland? Where are mineral resources located?
• Which animals, birds, fish, and other wildlife are commonly found in which areas? If there are imaginary animals such as dragons, where do they live?
• Which natural resources, if any, have been depleted in which areas over time?
• Which resources (e.g., coal, oil, iron ore, gold, diamonds, limestone, etc.) are particularly abundant, and in which areas? Which are scarce and where? Are there places with major deposits that haven't been discovered yet, or where such deposits haven't been fully exploited?
• How much conflict has been or might be caused by these imbalances in resources? How much active, peaceful trade?
• What water resources are available, and for what uses? (Example: a mill wheel requires flowing water, i.e., a river or stream; irrigation needs a large, dependable water source like a lake or large river, etc.)
