I'm writing short stories in a Fantasy world setting I have created — medieval times, magic, dragons, etc. People who are familiar with such a world may not find a problem reading a short story set in an unknown world. Since short stories are usually very condensed and precise, I'm torn about the amount of knowledge I should include about the world. Should I show more than usual? I do not intend to write a novella. So my question is: **How much setting information should I include in a short story set in an original Fantasy world?**
