World Bible

The World Bible is where a world lives. Every character, place, faction, event, and idea is an entry, and the bible keeps them ordered, searchable, and ready for the other tools to read. It's a Pro worldbuilding tool, alongside the Time Weaver, the Relationship Web, the Lexicon Engine, and the Consistency Sentinel.

The Builder

Open the tool from Tools, then pick a world (or make one). The Builder tab is your working view. A row of filters across the top counts your entries by type (Characters, Locations, Factions, Events, Artifacts, Concepts, Systems), and a search box filters the whole world at once. Each section lists its entries with a short subtitle, drag handles for ordering, and quick edit and delete controls.

The world preamble at the top is the opening note a reader sees on your public world page. Keep it short: a line or two on what this world is.

Adding and editing an entry

Click Add an entry (or the "+ Add" button on a section) and pick an entity template. The template decides which fields the entry carries, so a Character asks for Role and Allegiance while a Location asks for something else.

Click an entry to edit it in place. You can change its name, fill in the template's fields, add custom fields, and attach images. The first image you add becomes the entry's portrait for cards, lists, and the published view. A References section shows which other entries point at this one, so you can see how connected a character is without leaving the form. Edits save as you go and broadcast to any other tab open on the same entry.

To reorganize the bible's structure rather than a single entry, Entity templates opens the template manager, and Manage all entries opens the full list view.

Reference, Pieces, and the public page

The tabs across the top switch what you're looking at:

• Reference renders the bible the way a reader would see it, grouped and formatted like an encyclopedia.
• Pieces lists the drafts set in this world, so you can move between the world and the writing.
• Images holds the world's reference library. Import a picture once, then attach it to any entry from that entry's editor.
• Settings holds the world's title, cover, and calendar; Audience, Access, and Publish control who can see it.

Use View public page any time to see exactly what a reader gets.

How the other tools use it

The bible is the source the rest of the suite reads. The Relationship Web turns linked-entry fields into graph edges. The Time Weaver places your Event entries on a shared timeline. The Consistency Sentinel checks your draft against the bible's facts and flags contradictions. Name the data once, the same way, and every tool understands it.
