lore

write character one's personal history here — where they came from, what shaped them, the moment everything changed.
add as many paragraphs as you need. include backstory, relationships, turning points, secrets.
write character two's personal lore here — the choices that made them who they are, the losses that hardened them, the belief that justifies everything they do.
villains have histories too. give them theirs.
write character three's personal lore here — what they carry quietly, what they hope no one notices, why they help even when it costs them.
the ones who hold everyone else together often have no one holding them.
worldbuilding
the pale coast
a stretch of white sand and grey water that appears on no official map. sailors avoid it. the fog never fully lifts.
history
add the history of this location here — who settled it, who fled it, what happened on these shores that no one talks about anymore.
notable places
describe specific landmarks, ruins, settlements, or sites of importance within this region.
role in the story
how does this place connect to your characters and plot? what draws them here, or what keeps them away?
the hollow forest
a forest where the oldest trees are completely empty inside — not rotted, not burned. just hollow.
theories & folklore
what do the locals believe caused the hollowing? are there warnings passed between travelers?
flora & fauna
describe what lives here — or what doesn't. what's conspicuously absent. what has adapted strangely.
role in the story
does a character enter the forest? what do they find or lose inside it?
thread magic
manipulation of invisible threads connecting all living things. a broken thread cannot be repaired.
how it works
describe the mechanics — how a practitioner perceives the threads, how they manipulate them, what the limits are.
known uses
what can thread magic actually do? healing, binding, cutting connections between people?
why it's banned
what happened that led to the ban in three regions? was there an incident?
practitioners
who in your cast uses this? are they trained, self-taught, or did they stumble into it?
memory binding
sealing memories into physical objects. the memory is lost to the original owner forever.
the process
how is a memory extracted and bound? what objects can hold them? do the objects change appearance?
what happens to the object
can someone else experience the bound memory? what happens if the object is destroyed?
who uses it & why
people willingly give up memories for reasons. what reasons? grief, guilt, love, survival?
the weavers guild
an ancient guild whose public purpose is textile trade. their private one is considerably older.
true purpose
what is the guild really doing behind the trade front?
structure & ranks
how is the guild organized? are there initiations, ranks, oaths?
known members
list any characters tied to this faction.
enemies & allies
what other factions do they work with or against?
the nameless order
no one who belongs to them will confirm they exist. they leave behind only small signs.
the signs they leave
describe the small marks or symbols — what do they look like, where are they found?
what is known vs suspected
what have investigators or scholars managed to piece together?
why they stay hidden
is it tradition, protection, or something more deliberate?

preparation
how is it made? is it a labor-intensive dish or something everyday?
cultural significance
is this food tied to a celebration, a mourning ritual, a social class?
character connections
does any character have a personal tie to this food?
the founding age
the origins of your world — the first peoples, the old gods, the wars that shaped the land before anyone alive can remember.

who were the original inhabitants of your world?
the old gods
what deities or forces held power during this age?
the wars & conflicts
what shaped the borders and power structures that still exist?
what remains
what artifacts, ruins, or traditions from this age survive into the present?
the great unraveling
something broke. the threads that held the world together came loose — not all at once, but slowly, like a hem unraveling from the inside.
the cause
what triggered the unraveling? a decision, a spell, a natural shift?
the consequences
what changed in the world because of this?
the silence after
describe the immediate aftermath — the mourning, the rebuilding.
hidden myths
folklore whispered between people — stories your characters grew up hearing and half-believing in the dark. some of them are older than the founding age. some of them are true.
the stories
list or describe the major myths — the ones every child knows, the ones adults dismiss.
what is true
which myths have a kernel of truth?
who keeps them alive
storytellers, elders, secret societies?
the long silence
a period of history that no one recorded — not because nothing happened, but because everyone who witnessed it agreed, without ever speaking of it aloud, not to write it down.
what was hidden
what events happened during this period?
how we know it happened
despite the silence, something always survives.
who remembers
is there anyone — or anything — that still carries the memory of what was erased?
