The world came first. The people need a place to exist

mmm, I think we have a different idea of 'worlds'. When I say worlds I don't mean the land itself, I mean it in like 'fanfic world' like 'story world' like what people mean when they say 'world creation' in writing original work...in that the characters are the anchors for the world, inherently *part* of the world because there would be no world if there was no space between the characters, and that in some sense, this 'story world' would *not* exist without the people and would *not* exist if there were no characters to define the empty space.
