This page explains what’s inside the Core Template and how the databases connect.

The 6 core databases (and what they do)

• 🗣️ Constructed Languages: sounds, grammar, vocabulary, naming rules.
• 🏛️ Cultures: values, aesthetics, taboos, social structures.
• 👥 Characters: backstory, goals, relationships, affiliations.
• 🗺️ Locations: places, regions, climate, political control.
• ⏳ Historical Events: timeline, causes, consequences.
• ⚡ Magic/Tech Systems: rules, costs, limitations, who can use it.
