As stated in the title, I'm interested in how you, the DMs of ENWorld, organize and build your settings.
Do you build from top-down, down-up, large-scope, small-scope, small-scope, large-scope, or something else?
Do you create deities, kingdoms, oceans, and nations, or do you start with a village in unknown wilderness?
I've always gone for a top-down approach. Honestly, this: https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-LLf_UIEr6n0GMeSWpKn (my "Player's Companion") might be a tad too long...
Do you bother detailing things that won't come into play?
*Note that "The Elf Queen" is supposed to be "Elk Queen" (in my "Player's Companion") I won't fix it now, because it would mess up the link, but I am always looking for typos.
