<aside> 🧭

Goal (5 minutes): Get oriented, duplicate the template, and create your first connected world entry.

</aside>

1) Duplicate WorldForge

• Click Duplicate (top-right) to add WorldForge to your workspace.
• Keep the example data for your first run. You can delete it later.

2) Pick your starting point (choose one)

• 🏛️ Culture (politics + society first)
• 🗺️ Location (map + regions first)
• 🗣️ Language (names + linguistic vibe first)
• ⚡ Magic/Tech (rules + constraints first)

3) Create your first “seed” entry

• Open the matching database in the main WorldForge page.
• Duplicate an example entry and rename it.
• Add 1–2 links to other systems (example: a Culture should link to at least one Location and one Language).

4) Verify the web is working

Use this quick checklist:

• Your Culture links to a Location.
• Your Character links to a Culture.
• Your Historical Event links to a Location.
