03 / Story world

A story bible.Built to evolve with the story.

Keep characters, places, lore, chronology, relationships, and visual references close to the manuscript—including the moments when facts change.

A world with memory

Names shift. Alliances break. Characters become different people.

Keep structured facts and long-form lore connected without flattening the whole story into one timeless profile.

Recognize

One entity, every name.

Names, aliases, and grammatical forms can point back to the same Codex entry.

Evolve

Track change through the story.

Keep time-based mutations instead of flattening every character into one profile.

Connect

See chronology and relationships.

Use chronology, graphs, families, diplomacy, and maps around the same work.

Scale

Move from one book to a universe.

Place supported knowledge at book, series, or universe scope where it belongs.

Book · Series · Universe

Different knowledge, different homes

A reference system, not one endless notes file.

Use the surface that matches the kind of knowledge you need to retrieve.

Codex

Structured entities the manuscript can recognize.

Keep characters, places, factions, items, aliases, forms, relations, sources, images, and evolving states in structured entries.

Compendium

Long-form lore with scope and provenance.

Store explanatory world knowledge with book, series, or universe scope where supported.

Time & place

See where events happen and when facts apply.

Use Atlas and Timeline to keep geography and chronology inspectable.

Relations

Follow families, alliances, and connected entities.

Use Graph, Genealogy, and Diplomacy when a flat list hides the important relationship.

Scope deliberately

Keep a book specific. Share a world when it truly belongs.

01BookKnowledge specific to one manuscript.
02SeriesSupported knowledge shared by connected volumes.
03UniverseSupported knowledge that belongs to the wider world.

Build once, retrieve deliberately

Keep the whole world close without putting all of it in every scene.
