Designing Lore

Build the deep memory layer of fictional worlds.

Process

1. Mythic Origin — sacrifice genesis, fragmented god, memory-echo, recursive loop, alien catalyst
2. Legendary Figures — archetype, symbolic anchor, multi-region variants, current echoes
3. Historical Eras — name, defining event, what survived but was twisted, how history persists
4. Relics & Artifacts — type, functionality, origin, cultural reactions, rituals, conflict potential
5. Cross-Reference — link myths to biomes, civilizations, factions; mark productive contradictions

Out of Scope

Does NOT write final files (use /writing-worldbuilding). Does NOT design physical biomes (use /designing-worlds).
