yup, currently I'm putting all the lore of my world in a website so it's easier for people to explore it.
but I agree so much with that, creating a consistent universe involves so much studying in all subjects from physics, biology, anthropology and many more, and that helped me appreciate the real world much better as I learned about it
as I would say in my language, Erdain Badduríd - "the world belongs to those who see it"
