I don't know about that. Just because it's a work of fantasy doesn't mean there's no need for any logic whatsoever.

[(Anonymous)]

Even if that's true... does it really include the dang geography?

[(Anonymous)]

Why wouldn't it? It's not a bad idea for world building to make sense. For example, if a story is set in a desert environment, then the fact that it's fantasy doesn't change the fact that humans require a source of water, and so do any animals they keep. Crops can't be grown without water, so that will impact what foods are readily available to them. The author will need to come up with a credible explanation for how this desert community works and chances it'll look a lot like real world desert cultures because they've developed along those lines for a reason.

But, first, that's if you want it to feel like a realistic our-worldly desert culture in the first place.

Second, even then, most of the actual details that matter to readers are going to be above the level of agricultural practice, let alone the level of geological formations. I have a hard time believing that you need more than "yeah, there's uhhhhhh an underground river" or something to get the point across.

Yes? Because in most fantasy settings, life forms like human beings and animals still need food and water. That's not exactly complicated levels of realism. It's very basic.

Sure? But that's that's applying logic to the setting in a geographical sense. I didn't claim that the world building needed to have every minute detail spelled out, just that it's not a bad idea to consider geography. That's exactly what you're doing by proposing an underground water source to sustain this hypothetical desert community.

Yes, but primarily narrative and aesthetic and character logic
