Background:
I have a fictional world in my head.

I currently have a sketchbook where I jot down notes, sketch out maps, important people and places: all the usual things I do. The raw information exists; what's left to be done is to organize the chaos in such a way that is clear and logical to a reader.

Question:
As stated in the title, I am wondering where history should be in the order of presentation.

Chapter I is an introduction, an overview meant to pique the reader's curiousity and draw them in as well as tie the world to established material.

Chapter II contains geographical information, both physical and social.

Chapter III covers myths (in the religion sense) and magic, a topic as complex and interconnected as geography.

The remaining chapters are mechanical, and arranged in their own section.

So, then, I ask: "Where should history go?" Before Geography? After? After Myths & Magic? Spread throughout, in sidebars perhaps?
