This is likely going to be the longest section of your story. This is where your story builds and your reader begins to invest in your characters. The rising action is the moments in your story that lead up to the climax - choices your main characters have made and the events happening that are at odds with your characters’ goals. Find the common ground between your story’s world and the reader’s and work from there, cluing them into the big differences as you go. These worlds were built from the ground up, but as a reader, it never feels labored. Look to great worldbuilding novels, such as Lord of the Rings or Hunger Games, for excellent examples of setting the stage. Keep it natural and let it drive the story forward rather than stalling it while everyone catches up. Don’t overload the reader with background info right out of the gate.
