The World Building (When/Where) Workshop

The tools of the world builder are vast and seek deep roots that can sometimes never be seen in the stories they end up sheltering. Vast as the tools and methods are for defining the time and place of a story, Pantheon Arts see them as a pivotal point to connect the real/ordinary world and the world you are building, so we refer to it as the Crossroad Pillar.

This crossroad imparts wisdom about those tools to build the lore of a world, and we seek to share those lights with you. Knowledge to create the moments of history that make up a fictional place, tips on how to research for more robust content, establishing your own limits - like with how big the scope of the story is or magic systems, but most importantly, the understanding of when and where to start a story.

As with any journey, starting with one piece, and then laying another starts to set out a path to follow in the end, and Pantheon Arts hopes to help provide a waystation along the world building journey you undertake. Find us on Wednesday during Geek Week PDX at Lil’ America Food Pod by Expensify!

Sign Up, Learn a Way to Tell Stories

We are propping up workshops for the 5 Pillars throughout town this week, one pillar each day over the next five days of Geek Week PDX 2025, and we would love for you to join us!

Let's handle these sparks of creativity, together, and share them with other storytellers! Enkindle Your Inner Creator with Pantheon Arts, and Take HEART for the tales ahead during Geek Week and Beyond!
