Make connections visible
Who belongs where? What has changed?
The World Graph shows how characters, places and events in your world connect. Follow those connections and open the notes behind them. It is the connected view of your archive: the entries are where you put them, and their links become visible.
Relationships describe a connection
Mira lives in Greyharbor and works for the Archive Circle. Add these Relationships to the relevant entries to see them in the World Graph. Writing a sentence in a note does not automatically create a Relationship.
If you want a readable excerpt of chosen connections, save it as a diagram for your family, your organization or your network of alliances.
Give each Relationship a short description so the connection reads clearly in the graph.
Record what happened
Who handed over the sea chart? Where did it happen, and who was there? A World Event keeps these details together. You can also add the in-world date and the Session it belongs to.
Add the participants as links so the event is connected to the people who were there.
Look up where the information came from
For example, link the recap describing the handover as evidence for the event. You can then return to your notes from the World Graph and read the details.
Evidence can be several notes: a recap, a letter or a sketch. The event is the anchor, and the notes hold the details.
Explore from a manageable starting point
Open the graph at a character and explore its neighborhood. Expand the view when you need more context. Recorded paths between two entries can also help you follow an existing connection.
Start from the question you have right now: who knows whom, what changed, who was there. Expand only as far as the answer needs.
You decide what is established
A suspicion is not yet a fact. Mark a Relationship as confirmed, suspected, disputed or disproven. A reference in your notes starts as a link. You decide which connections to record in the World Graph.
In play, the difference matters: a suspected alliance can turn out to be false, and your notes show what was confirmed when.
A useful map for the next session
Before a session, open the graph around a character or a place. A look at the neighborhood often reminds you of a thread you meant to pick up again.
You do not need a complete map. A few recorded connections around the right entry are enough to prepare with more confidence.
