The Worldbuilding Thread is dedicated to guiding the Dungeon Master through the conceptual and structural creation of their unique game setting. Building a world is the highest form of magic; this thread ensures your reality is not only vast but also logical, internally consistent, and deeply thematic.
Here, you will find the frameworks and exercises required to design the history, geography, and political structures that truly underpin The Woven Realm.
This thread focuses on structural consistency and high-level conceptual design:
History & Eras: Structured guides on generating deep, layered timelines, ages, and historical events that influence the game’s present.
Factions & Politics: Frameworks for creating compelling, morally gray organizations, political structures, and religious groups (complementing the Deities thread).
Geography & Environment: Exercises for creating unique biomes, climate rules, and hazards that make travel and exploration memorable.
Thematic Consistency Guides: Tools and checklists to ensure your world’s core themes (e.g., corruption, hope, industry) are woven consistently into every location and culture.
Gods are not perfect; they are reflections of the mortals who imagine them. Learn to build your world’s faith through flawed characters, powerful rituals, and necessary heresy.
