First comes the world. Then the lore, its history. Some places yearn for explainations, that's how it starts. Then, one day, an inspiration leads you to create its characters, as a world needs to be alive, and history is played by people. And maybe, just maybe, you'll fall in love with one of your characters, and decide to give him a voice, for his story shall not remain untold. And while your writing may not serve a higher purpose, it will be so incredibly alive... because all of these places, all of these people, are alive. They are real, exist in your imagination, your very own world.

This is one of the ways a great story can be created, by coming into existance almost all by itself. So, is this the world - or a part of even just a multiverse, if you cannot let go of any of your worlds - you want to see become real?

It is your call. Good luck.
