Bedrock, boulders, and balanced rocks! Welcome back, Outlander, to the 14th entry in Mythic Ecology, my series on how learning real-world landscape features can enrich our fantasy worldbuilding and storytelling. In this post I return to my minimalist framework for Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, fiction writers, and similar worldbuilders to merge the realms of general myth and geomorphology. Last entry I took a look at the Deep Sea. As I resume my journey sketching a framework for designing Yridia, my unique D&D 5e fantasy world, let’s learn some rock formations, with a visual guide!



Note: to avoid redundancy, in this installment I’ve skipped over most of the rock megastructures in my Mountains entry, and the subterranean rock structures in my Caves post. You may still wish to check those out.
