Story Text vs. World Lore

On Deep Realms, you can create so-called "worlds". A world is made up of two parts: the story text and the world lore.

Story Text

The story text can be any kind of story: fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, romance etc. It can be written in the first person perspective or third person perspective. It can also be a CYOA (Choose Your Own Adventure) kind of story - it is really up to you.

Example:

As I open my eyes, the memory of a delightful dream slips away, leaving only a vague sense of contentment. I feel as though today holds a promise of new experiences and adventures. I quickly hop out of bed, excited for what the day might bring. Just as I'm about to open the curtains, someone knocks on my door softly. "Are you up? There's something you have to see," says a voice muffled through the wooden frame.

World Lore

The world lore is a collection of facts, rules and descriptions pertaining to the world or universe the story is set in. This helps guide the AI when writing, in order to ensure that the story really does take place in the universe you envisioned. When writing the world lore, it may be helpful for the AI to orgainze it into sections. Additionally, please note that the world lore feature increases the cost dynamically, depending on how much world lore is retrieved during the generation step. For this reason, when the world lore feature is used, the credit cost per generation cannot be calculated beforehand.

Example:

Silverwood Forest, bordering the northern edge of Morrow Creek, is a dense, ancient woodland shrouded in mystery and folklore.
