# Connections

The Connections page is an interactive map showing every relationship between entities in your world. It visualizes alliances, rivalries, bloodlines, and other connections as a network graph.

How It Works

Every entity in your world can be connected to other entities. These connections form a web of relationships that the Connections page renders as an interactive, visual map.

  • Nodes represent entities (characters, factions, locations, etc.)

  • Lines between nodes represent connections/relationships

  • Each entity type has its own color, making it easy to see the makeup of your world at a glance

Interacting with the Map

  • Hover over a node to highlight it and see its connections

  • Click a node to navigate to that entity's full page

  • Drag nodes to rearrange the layout

  • Zoom in and out to focus on clusters or see the big picture

  • Pan to move around the map

Connection Types

Connections can represent any kind of relationship:

  • Alliances — factions allied with each other

  • Rivalries — characters or factions in conflict

  • Bloodlines — family relationships between characters

  • Membership — characters belonging to factions

  • Location — entities associated with specific places

  • Ownership — characters or factions possessing artifacts

  • Historical — entities connected through events

Reading the Map

Dense clusters of connections indicate closely related groups of entities — like a faction and all its members, or a location and everything that happened there.

Isolated nodes with few connections might be mysterious, independent entities — or entities that need more lore development.

Adding Connections

Connections are created in two ways:

  1. AI Generation — when you create a world, AI automatically generates connections between entities it creates

  2. Manual — go to any entity's page and add connections to other entities, specifying the relationship type

Why It Matters

The Connections map gives you a bird's-eye view of your world's complexity. It helps you:

  • Spot gaps in your world (entities with no connections)

  • Understand power dynamics (which factions are allied vs. opposed)

  • Trace storylines (follow connection chains from cause to effect)

  • Plan new content (see where adding a new entity would create the most interesting connections)
