Fellow writers who come up with wild and/or complicated as hell worldbuilding! Share some of your highlights!

I'll go first:

Two major systems of currency that dramatically increase and decrease in value across the continent in direct conjunction with which particular major country is closer;

Magical person-eating eels who have their own entire society underneath a particular city that never becomes relevant because they think everyone else is frustrating and terrible, who have exactly one (1) ambassador to interface with the outside world but who decided that everyone else was (still) frustrating and terrible and now works as an assassin for hire instead of doing that and just sends the occasional trade good back home with their stipend;

Pseudo-electricity that works by summoning spirits from outside of the world to come hang out in your batteries

#i was gonna mention the crawlers vs the sand-rattlers but i figure that's a little long #'there are two kinds of giant man-eating centipedes in this one desert but one type is just regular guys who only eat you if you start it' #'and the others are like cursed with hunger from another world and a hole in their stomach that leaves the dimension entirely and they will #eat literally anything alive and never stop until they die and they're close enough in general appearance that people from outside the EB #region tend to sort of conflate them so as a result the sand-rattlers tend to take a VERY dim view of outsiders and will attack first if #they get a bad vibe which doesn't really help their reputation but they're chill enough and will happily hang out if you're cool and make i #clear you don't want a fight' #anyway i love wild and wacky worldbuiding. everyone hop on #writeblr #writeblr game
