Worldbuilding and writing and messing around

Some concepts are self-explanatory: a character, a city, a faction. But then the project does its thing and all of a sudden, something else becomes important: a family curse, the kind of tea, a law, a war, or even a particular door.

I don't want you to let the tool interfere too much with your creativity. When you're writing a story, you need to mess around until it makes sense. The tool just helps you do so in a more organized way.

Two characters can be siblings, rivals, lovers, allies, debtors, teachers, traitors, heirs, or strangers whose actions completely destroy one another's life during one scene. The city can be a part of the empire. The relic can be in possession of somebody who didn't deserve that at all.

This is the dirty practical aspect. See how everything in your story can relate to each other?

Time only becomes relevant when the scope of the project increases. A character has an exact date of birth. A war was fought prior to the ongoing chaos. There will be a festival in three days. A calendar system exists because obviously your world would not conform to our dating system.

You can create custom maps, style the roads, regions, mountains, buildings and whatever else your world needs, then export the result as a high definition image whenever you want. Infinite exports. No little paywall tap on the shoulder. No holding you back.

The better bit, at least for me, is that the map connects back to the rest of the project. Regions and places can belong to concepts, so your map becomes another way to move through the world you are building. Also, this is all free. As it should be.
