A connected world, revealed at your pace
Build a whole world, watch it change over time, and share it with your players piece by piece.
Reveals & the table
Share your world at the pace of your campaign
The regent keeps the throne warm for an heir who never returned.
The heir sits at your table, and does not know it.
GM onlyAs much or as little as you want
Lore stays yours until you share it. Reveal a whole resource, or one fact about it, and never all at once.

A view for you, a view for them
The play surface is separate by design. Players only ever see what you have revealed, so nothing leaks by a forgotten filter.
Sessions
A running spine of play, session by session.
Search everywhere
Mid-session recall in a keystroke.
The party lives in the world
A connected world
Every entity aware of the others
Typed relationships
Ally of, member of, ruler of. Links carry meaning, and both ends see the connection.
The Guard holds Duskwater, but its captain is @dusDuskCharacterDuskwaterLocation
Write lore that links itself
Type @ to mention any resource. The mention becomes a real, two-way link, and GM-only passages stay hidden from players.
Every entity a page
Lore, attributes, connections.
Resources & kinds
Characters, locations, factions, items.
Collections
Typed sets — pantheons, rosters, bestiaries.
Both ends aware
Every link works from either side, so nothing is a dead end.
Notes that link into the world
Free-form notes sit beside your entities and link into the graph. Keep them to yourself, or share them with your table.
Track a story line, a quest, whatever you want
Hang a thread off a note, a resource, or a beat, and follow its progress from an open question through to resolved.
