# Storytelling
Storytelling is Worldforge's system for generating ongoing narrative content for your world. Give any character a personality prompt, and AI writes what happens to them — journal entries, encounters, discoveries, and more. Every story goes to a review queue where you approve, edit, or reject it. Nothing changes in your world without your say.
How It Works
Select a character from your entity library
Give them a personality prompt — describe how they think, what they want, what drives them
AI generates stories — narrative entries describing events, encounters, and discoveries that happen to the character
Review the queue — each generated story appears in your Story Queue for review
Approve, edit, or reject — you have full control over what becomes part of your world's official history
The Story Queue
The Story Queue is your inbox for AI-generated content. Stories appear here as drafts waiting for your review.
For each story, you can:
Approve — the story becomes part of your world's official history and may generate new entities, events, or connections
Edit — modify the story before approving it
Reject — discard the story entirely
Nothing is added to your world automatically. You always have final say.
What AI Generates
AI Storytelling can produce:
Journal entries — first-person accounts from the character's perspective
Encounters — meetings between characters, conflicts, discoveries
Events — world-changing moments that affect the timeline
Discoveries — new locations, artifacts, or species found by the character
Relationship changes — alliances formed, betrayals, new connections
Each generated piece is grounded in your existing world lore. AI reads your entities, timeline, and connections to produce stories that are consistent with what already exists.
Personality Prompts
The personality prompt is key to getting good AI output. The more specific you are, the more interesting the stories.
Basic example:
"A cautious scholar who fears the unknown"
Detailed example:
"Kael is a former soldier turned reluctant leader. He carries guilt over a battle that destroyed his hometown. He's pragmatic, distrustful of magic, and secretly fears that the floating city will fall. He speaks bluntly but cares deeply about the people under his protection."
The detailed prompt gives AI much more to work with — it'll generate stories about Kael's internal conflict, his distrust of magical solutions, and his protective instincts.
Tips
Start with your most interesting characters — they'll produce the best stories
Be specific in prompts — vague prompts produce generic stories
Review regularly — don't let the queue build up, stories are more engaging when they're fresh
Edit freely — AI gives you a draft, make it yours
Let stories create connections — approved stories can reference other entities, building a richer web of relationships
Use it to fill gaps — if part of your world feels thin, assign a character to "explore" that area through AI Storytelling
