He killed the God of War. He ascended into his divinity. No one told him that was the easy part.
Look into the inner workings of gods and how they build worlds. From a divine perch, map your world and experience tectonics, magical geography, predation, ecological conflict, and cultural development. Following in the foodsteps of A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe (Gen Con ENnies 2003 Best Setting Supplement), A Magical Society: Ecology and Culture provides real-world phenomena for a fantasy game. This 160-page supplement helps world builders make their world from scratch, including topics like tectonics, mapping, weather, ecological conflict, and cultural development.

This book contains a very in-depth look at the top-down world building process. It's thoroughly researched and provides a lot of information about the decisions that go into this kind of effort. The book makes the assumption that you are building a fantasy world with magic as a core component, and this assumption is with the authors from the beginning.
The real treasure of this book, in my opinion, is the appendix where you find lists of real and fantasy flora, fauna, gems, and substances. That alone was worth the price of the product. If you're looking for reference or inspiration on world building, this is the first place to go.
