FWIW, various authors including Tolkein, Eddings, and O.S. Card have talked
about how they started with a map, and built their histories and peoples
(and eventually stories) on top of it. I think this makes a lot of sense.
Eddings also said in a recent article that it took him almost two years to
do all that for the Belgariad/Mallorean stories, but now he has the process
down to about six weeks. :-)
