: Re: Connecting my plot to different locations in my world In my world, there all sorts of places that I'd like to include in my book but I have yet to find sound reasons to include more a handful

Typically, I see this being done three different ways in the books I've read:

A) The narrative is a journey: This is the simplest reason to visit many different places --the narrative is a trip, and each place is a natural stop along the way.

B) There are Important Things located in each place. This can feel a bit cliche, but it's an old standard in adventure plots because it's effective.

C) The main character is being chased, and needs to hide out in a variety of places.

With all that said, don't feel that your characters have to actually visit every single interesting place you've thought up for your world --that wouldn't be a book most people would want to read. It might be better for your main characters to just hear about some of those places --or to meet people from them (or just save those places for the sequel!).
